Last year strong evidence was claimed for a 130 GeV gamma ray line from the galactic center in the FERMI telescope data. In the first half of the talk I will review the status of the evidence, including recent suggestions which call it into question. In the second half of the talk, under the bold assumption that the line is a genuine signature of dark matter, I will review some of the properties required of dark matter to explain the line and the general features of models proposed to explain it. This second half will include material from recent work with Francesco D'Eramo and Jesse Thaler (arxiv:1210.7817), which suggests that the line is readily explained by dark matter "semi-annihilation" rather than the standard annihilation interpretation.

I briefly summarize the potential of the LHC to produce boosted objects and that of the experiments to recognize them as such analyzing jet substructure. Then, I consider boosted top quarks in some detail, the boosted object that has probably been most extensively studied. I evaluate ATLAS ttbar resonance searches to understand how and why dedicated algorithms outperform more classical techniques. Finally, I discuss a number of analyses where boosted techniques are likely to make a difference

We start with a one-slide review of the Kontsevich-Soibelman (KS) solution to the wall-crossing problem and then proceed to direct and comprehensive physics counting of BPS states that eventually connects to KS. We also asks what input data is needed for either approaches to produce complete BPS spectra, and this naturally leads to the BPS quiver representation of BPS states and the new notion of quiver invariants.
We propose a simple geometrical conjecture that can segregate BPS states in Higgs phases of the BPS quiver dynamics to those that experience wall-crossing and those that do not, and give
proofs for all cyclice Abelian quivers. We close with explanation of how physics distinguishes two such classes of BPS states.

The interpretation of events with jets is often ambiguous, especially for the sort of highly complex events one encounters at the LHC. One often finds that an event interpreted as signal-like using one choice of jet algorithm and radius parameter is no longer signal-like with another, even if the two are very similar. Here we present an extension of the Qjets procedure designed to account for this ambiguity and assign each plausible interpretation of an event a weight, so that events which are unambiguously signal-like carry more influence on one's results than events which are only marginally so. This procedure can be used with any existing analysis employing a sequential recombination algorithm like anti-kT and we will show that through its use the statistical power of an analysis often increases. In particular, we will see that a up to a 20\% improvement in statistical significance can be realized for a Higgs-like analysis searching for a resonance recoiling against an associated vector boson.
