CDMS-2's 1-sigma dark matter result.

After much speculation the CDMS-2 "dark matter detection result" announced yesterday turns out to be 2 events with an expected background rate of 0.8 events in the 2007-2008 time frame of the experiment (SciAm news piece).

Exactly two events would happen by chance ~14% of the time (>=2 events would happen 20% of the time), so we're basically talking about a ~1 sigma result. Meh. Hardly impressive. It'd take 10 events under a 0.8 count background rate to get me excited.
