Title:     The LHC in an age of anomalies

Abstract: In the past year a number of experimental anomalies have appeared, primarily from the final run of the Tevatron. Some of these anomalies have been crushed by other experiments and serve as morality tales, others have surprisingly prospered as time has gone on and more data has been collected. Although none of these anomalies has risen to the 5 sigma discovery level, many have interesting features that demand new ideas when thinking of beyond the SM physics.

At the same time, at the LHC, a continual and massive increase in the data set is leading to new constraints on physics beyond the standard model and attempts to explain these anomalies. In this talk we will survey and discuss some of the anomalies that have appeared and some attempts to make sense of them.
