Made me laugh.
OK, seriously though... I've studied up on this a bit (physics enthusiast): Even if they manage to create a black hole by slapping a few dozen particles into each other at a realative 2x the speed of light (speed of light one way + speed of light the other = realative 2x speed of light even though the collision itself can only occur at a max 1C (things get wierd at these speeds, and your frame of reference is everything)), the hole will not have enough mass (mass generates gravity, gravity holds the hole together) to sustain itself, and will evaporate in a fraction of a second because of the repulsion of the protons (like poles repel. Force of repulsion is a function of the distance between the protons squared. Near zero distance between them = near infinite repulsion).
Theoretically, the smallest self-sustaining black hole would require a mass greater than that of Sol. A mass the size of our sun (even our entire solar system) ends it's existence as a supernova (almost burns out, lack of reaction allows gravity to implode the mass, increase in density produces huge increase in reactivity which casuses explosion (giant thermonuclear warhead). These guys just can't play with enough mass to pose more than a local (in the collision chamber) hazard.
Now that I'm thinking about it... It should be possible to create & sustain a black hole as long as you pump enough power into it to overcome the inherent repulsion... If it gets too big, or power is interupted, the hole tears itself apart. I wonder how big a bang that'd be? Worst case it'd be on the order of a thermonuclear detonation of identical reaction mass. Baseball sized mass of plutonium can take out most of a major metropolis, but these guys are playing with a few sub atomic particles at a time, not kilograms.
Sorry for the length. Someone clean up my recall of the theory if I'm in error please.
Oh yeah: Vump.

Heard on NPR this morning that there's a website dedicated to "Hasdestroyed the world yet?" & the one word answer:
NO
Made me laugh.

Right!...thinking very hard...sounds good to me. I read that Hawking's thinks they will fail, they appear to be looking for the "Higg's" particle.(not sure i got the name right) I know I got the words wrong, but he said,...it's the 'God' particle,...the 'thing' that powered the "Big Bang". Thats about all the science I know,...the test run appears to be good though....
Go to Yahoo, right now its on the news updates and its in the science section. I tried to post a linky, but it didn't work, sorry.

Vump with a vote at tv-tally. My next vote there will be at about 2pm est when I get into work. I am finding it difficult to understand how Jerichho could be kicking our arse so badly.
