Happy New Year wishes to all, and a very, very special New Year it will be. The LHC is turning on! The LHC is turning on!The LHC is turing on! Sorry if I seem carried away, but this is a special year indeed. We've been waiting for this accelerator for 25 years - my first paper with LHC calculations was in 1987, and I was relatively late in the game. We all expect the LHC to make spectacular discoveries on the nature of Electroweak Symmetry Breaking, the Hierarchy Problem, and Dark Matter - to name a few - not to mention possible discoveries of Supersymmetry or extra dimenions or another layer of compositness, or....
