Higg's Boson almost certainly discovered

Anyone else heard the news? CERN confirmed today (04 july '12) that a particle matching all of the characteristics of the much sought Higg's Boson has been found. They have a confidence level of five-sigma (99.99995%) that it is the Higg's. Fairly high.
This means exciting stuff for physics - it helps prove the standard model! Although if it isn't the higg's it is still exciting as we have yet another new particle to research.
Yeah. Pretty cool.
