Good ol Fermi Lab. Used to live a half hour north of there (Elgin). Many field trips to that facility while I was in school. Definitely one of the leading reasons I was so enamored with science.

Would be great it true, but Dorigo is known for exaggerations. Here's his blog: http://www.science20.com/quantum_diaries_survivor/rumors_about_light_higgs

The "pros" take it with a huge grain of salt: http://www.physorg.com/news198202639.html

A rumor that Fermilab’s Tevatron may have discovered evidence of a light Higgs boson wouldn't be the first unsupported speculation from Tommaso Dorigo, a physicist at the University of Padua in Italy, on his lively blog, but it is probably one of the most intriguing. Even a slight possibility that the world’s second largest accelerator has beaten the largest, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), in finding the last particle in the Standard Model is enough to catch most people’s attention.
