Abstract
The first run of the LHC has just completed and the first set of analyses has just come out. I will review the state of searches for new physics at the LHC and give interpretations of the results. I will focus on the interplay between the discovery of the Higgs boson and the implications for supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model.
