A decade after the discovery of TeV gamma-rays from the blazar Mrk 421 (Punch et al. 1992), the list of TeV blazars has increased to five BL Lac objects: Mrk 421 (Punch et al. 1992; Petry et al. 1996; Piron et al. 2001), Mrk 501 (Quinn et al. 1996; Aharonian et al. 1999; Djannati-Atai et al. 1999), 1ES2344+514 (Catanese et al. 1998), H1426+428 (Horan et al. 2000, 2002; Aharonian et al. 2002; Djannati-Atai et al. 2002) and 1ES1959+650 (Nishiyama et al. 1999; Konopelko et al. 2002; Holder et al. 2002). In this paper we report results from recent observations of Mrk 421, H1426+428 and 1ES1959+650 using the Whipple Observatory 10 m telescope.

VERITAS is a state-of-the-art ground-based gamma-ray observatory that operates in the very high-energy (VHE) region of 100 GeV to 50 TeV. The observatory consists of an array of four 12m-diameter imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes located in southern Arizona, USA. The four-telescope array has been fully operational since September 2007, and over the last two years, VERITAS has been operating with high efficiency and with excellent performance. This talk summarizes the recent results from VERITAS, including the discovery of eight new VHE gamma-ray sources.

We present an overview of recent results from the CP-PACS computer on the quenched light hadron spectrum and an on-going two-flavour full QCD study. We find that our quenched hadron mass results are compatible with the mass formulae predicted by quenched chiral perturbation theory, which we adopt in our final analysis. Quenched hadron masses in the continuum limit show unambiguous and systematic deviations from experiment. For our two-flavour full QCD simulation we present preliminary results on the light hadron spectrum, quark masses and the static potential. The question of dynamical sea quark effects in these quantities is discussed.

We describe the most recent results from the TOTEM collaboration at the LHC, namely the elastic cross section measurements at a center-of-mass on 2.76, 7, 8 and 13 TeV. No structure or resonance is observed at high $t$ at high center-of-mass energies. A pure exponential form of $d sigma/dt$ is excluded both at 8 and 13 TeV. Accessing the very low $t$ region allows measuring the $rho$ parameter at 13 TeV.

We present the discovery of very high energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission from the high-frequency-peaked BL Lac object 1ES 0806+524 (z=0.138) and the intermediate-frequency-peaked BL Lac object W Comae (z=0.102) with VERITAS. VHE emission was discovered from these objects during the 2007/2008 observing campaign, with a strong outburst from W Comae detected in mid-March, lasting a few days. Quasi-simultaneous spectral energy distributions are presented, incorporating optical (AAVSO), and X-ray (Swift/RXTE) observations. We also present the energy spectrum of the distant BL Lac (z=0.182) 1ES 1218+304 which was detected by VERITAS during the 2006/2007 observing campaign. The energy spectrum is discussed in the context of different models of absorption from the diffuse extragalactic background radiation. We present multiwavelength observations of the blazar Markarian 421 (z=0.03), including a strong flare initially detected by the Whipple 10m gamma-ray telescope. Finally we present a broadband spectral energy distribution for 1ES 2344+514 (z=0.044) which is successfully fit using a one zone synchrotron self-Compton model.
This short overview includes recent results from the ALICE Collaboration on anisotropic flow of charged and identified particles in sqrt(sNN) = 2.76 TeV Pb-Pb collisions. We also discuss charge dependent and event plane dependent azimuthal correlations that are important in tests of the chiral magnetic effect, as well as understanding the dynamics of the system evolution and hadronization process. Lastly, we present ALICE results obtained with a new technique, the event shape engineering, which allows to perform a physical analysis on events with very large or small flow.
