Updates from the LHC and Tevatron keep the door open for the Higgs

We're only about a week away from restarting the LHC, but the physics community is still analyzing data generated by earlier runs of that collider and the Tevatron. Their latest results were presented at a physics meeting in Italy this week. The biggest news is probably the fact that the full analysis of Tevatron data turns out to be consistent with the presence of the Higgs where early indications from the LHC say it's likely to be. The LHC data, however, shows a slightly reduced signal, and the two detectors are still placing it at slightly different masses.
