Composite Vector Mesons from QCD to the Little Higgs
  We review how the rho meson can be modeled in an effective theory and discuss the implications of applying this approach to heavier spin-one resonances. Georgi's vector limit is explored, and its relationship to locality in a deconstructed extra-dimension is discussed. We then apply the formalism for rho's to strongly coupled theories of electroweak symmetry breaking, studying the lightest spin-one techni-rho resonances. Understanding these new particles in Little Higgs models can shed light on previously incalculable, ultraviolet sensitive physics, including the mass of the Higgs boson.
