Large Hadron Collider Results by Christmas

Found this snippet on nature this morning:
Quote:
But particle physicists will have to scale back the energies of their experiments for years.
Quote:
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) should yield its first data by Christmas, smashing protons at energies high enough to begin pushing back the boundaries of particle physics. But the world's largest particle accelerator will only be operating at half the energy that it was originally designed for, and may not reach that peak until 2011 — if at all.
