RE: Why the Highs Boson can no longer be called the God particle...

Well we can run back and forth on this one all day. The link I provided indicates that the March 14th conference confirms the new boson to be the Higgs.
You say otherwise - I don't really have a horse in this race.
From your link:
"The preliminary results with the full 2012 data set are magnificent and to me it is clear that we are dealing with a Higgs boson though we still have a long way to go to know what kind of Higgs boson it is,”
I suppose we will find out for 100% certain soon.

My "link" - I linked to CERN the institution researching the 2012 observation and the one that's made all the statements about what it is and isn't - everything else is an interpretation of what CERN said...
I reiterate, they are confident that they observed a boson, and that it may have been a Higgs boson, but as yet it is unconfirmed to be a Higgs boson.

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK

He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke

Bit more up to date. Note the opening statement:
"At last year's Moriond conference, CERN physicists announced the retirement of the "Higgs-like" particle and the arrival of "boson, Higgs boson"."
