Updated January 25 2010LHC might actually cause black holes (well duh) -Link-
Now a computer model shows conclusively for the first time that a particle collision really can make a black hole.
LHC Down AGAIN -Link-
We ourselves find it hard not to suspect the involvement of some pan-dimensional police force, seeking to prevent humanity acquiring parallel-universe portal capability before we're ready to use it responsibly.
The LHC hits one trillion electron volts -Link-
The LHC pushed the energy of its particle beams beyond one trillion electron volts, making it the world's highest-energy particle accelerator. "
LHC coming back online, currently operating at colder than deep space -Link-
"All eight sectors of the LHC have now been cooled to their operating temperature of 1.9 kelvin (-271C; -456F) - colder than deep space. Officials now plan to circulate a beam around the LHC in the second half of November. Engineers will then aim to smash low-intensity beams together, giving scientists their first data. "

Even the Universe doesnt want the LHC to work -Link-
"I'm talking about the notion that the troubled collider is being sabotaged by its own future. A pair of otherwise distinguished physicists have suggested that the hypothesized Higgs boson, which physicists hope to produce with the collider, might be so abhorrent to
nature that its creation would ripple backward through time and stop he collider before it could make one, like a time traveler who goes back in time to kill his grandfather."

A LHC Scientist Terrorist has been Arrested in France -Link-
The European Organization for Nuclear Research, also known by theFrench acronym CERN, said French officials arrested the man on Thursdayin south-east France for suspected al-Qaeda links.

The first high-energy collisions are planned to take place after the LHC is officially unveiled on 21 October 2008.CERN Press Release advising the start up date: -Link-
CERN has today announced that the first attempt to circulate a beam in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will be made on 10 September.
CERN under legal pressure from the federal government:-Link-
The builders of the world's biggest particle collider are being sued infederal court over fears that the experiment might createglobe-gobbling black holes or never-before-seen strains of matter thatwould destroy the planet.CERN mistake causes explosion -Link-
The mistakes led to an explosion deep in the tunnel at the Cern particleaccelerator complex near Geneva in Switzerland. It lifted a 20-ton magnetoff its mountings, filling a tunnel with helium gas and forcing anevacuation.
