The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) must close at the end of 2011 for up
to a year to address design issues, according to an LHC director.
Dr Steve Myers told BBC News the faults will delay the machine
reaching its full potential for two years.
The atom smasher will reach world record collision energies later this
month at 7 trillion electron volts.
But joints between the machine's magnets must be strengthened before
higher-energy collisions can commence.

What's the point after 12-21-2012?

One must persevere in spite of daunting odds! ;-)

I suspect Fermilab is not terribly broken up about the latest LHC
development. It's my understanding Fermilab has made significant progress in
hunting down the expected locations of where Mr. Higgs should be hanging
out.
