SUMMARY:The Top Triangle Moose: Combining Higgsless and Topcolor Mechanisms
	 for Mass Generation
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Elizabeth Simmons\, Michigan State University\n\nPart
	 of the HET Seminar Series.\n\nABSTRACT: We introduce a deconstructed model
	 that incorporates both Higgsless and top-color mechanisms. The model allev
	iates the tension between obtaining the correct top quark mass and keeping 
	Delta rho small that exists in many Higgsless models. It does so by singlin
	g out the top quark mass generation as arising from a Yukawa coupling to an
	 effective top-Higgs which develops a small vacuum expectation value\, whil
	e electroweak symmetry breaking results largely from a Higgsless mechanism.
	 As a result\, the heavy partners of the standard model fermions can be lig
	ht enough to be seen at the LHC. After presenting the model\, we detail the
	 phenomenology\, showing that for a broad range of masses\, these heavy fer
	mions are discoverable at the LHC.
