Title: "Exotic Physics and Highlights from Moriond" 

Abstract: The hunt for exotic new phenomena covers many different 
and interesting physics possibilities.  Are there extra dimensions?  
New heavy resonances?  Are long-lived particles slipping right 
past our detection?  And what can the LHC say about the mysterious 
Dark Matter?  Astrophysical evidence adds to the challenge, and 
serves to highlight that the canonical theories of cosmology and 
particle physics are incomplete.  I will discuss the latest results 
on the search for new phenomena from particle physics and cosmology, 
with an emphasis on the results from the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) 
experiment at the LHC and those shown at the Moriond QCD and 
Moriond Cosmology conferences.
