Could Hedge Funds Come Full Circle and Be Alternative Investments Again?
Last week we pointed out some interesting data from a Morgan Stanley note showing how equity hedge funds have completely lost their ability to generate any returns above and beyond the broader market in recent years.
Instead of paying hedge funds 2 and 20, in other words, investors might as well just be parking their money in index funds lately.
This has a lot to do with the high correlation in markets lately, as macro concerns and high-frequency trading have dominated other, more traditional concerns that made it easier for smart managers to sniff out money-making trades.
Since then, others have written about these numbers and found some other interesting angles. Felix Salmon points out that it's not just equity hedge funds that have a high correlation to the market today — all fund flavors, aside from macro, are also marching more or less in lock-step with the broader market.
Doug Friedenberg at All About Alpha suggests the recently abysmal alpha generation of hedge funds could be the extreme position of the pendulum, which will eventually swing back in the favor of hedge funds earning their keep again:
If there's any indicative conclusion to be reached, it is this: the best news yet for equity hedge funds is how uninteresting the group has become. That alone argues for a performance renaissance.
Tadas Viskanta at Abnormal Returns agrees, saying hedge funds are getting set up to become alternative investments again — providing rare human touches in a market increasingly dominated by high-frequency trading machines.
Maybe, just maybe, long-focused hedge funds are now a truly alternative investment, like they were back before the big money poured into the hedge fund complex seeking high returns with low correlations.
This would of course require a change in thinking for hedge funds. In an age of high frequency trading looking out over a multi-year horizon seems downright old fashioned. That and the fact that picking stocks, long and short, is tough work. … Then again nothing good comes easy in the financial markets. The only question is what managers will be able to make that transition when stock correlations no longer approach unity.
Tadas, who sees a "golden age" for stock pickers ahead, presumes reasonably that there will be a day when all of the idiosyncracies of individual stocks are no longer being power-washed away by overarching macro concerns. There probably will be such a day, but it sure does feel far off.
And even when that day comes, the HFT machines will still be out in force, continuing to make life difficult for stock pickers. It's thus harder for us to be optimistic about the future of stock-picking.

TEMPE, Ariz. ?- The Arizona softball team notched its third Pac-10 win over No. 17 Arizona State in Tempe on Wednesday, 1-0.
Junior pitcher Alicia Hollowell got her 20th win of the season in a seven-inning, 15-strikeout performance. She allowed two hits in the Cats' shutout, lowering her season ERA to 0.68. Her record is 20-2 and her season strikeouts tally 286.
Arizona's lone run came in the top of the first, when Caitlin Lowe reached base on an ASU error and came home on another error by Sundevils catcher Rhiannon Baca.
Autumn Champion led the Cats' offense collecting a pair of hits in three tries off ASU pitcher Katie Burkhart. Champion is now hitting .379 on the season, third behind Lowe and Kristie Fox.

Recap | Final Stats | Photo Gallery
Head Coach Lisa Stockton
On Tulane holding a 50-37 advantage in rebounding
"Certainly our rebounding was huge. It was a point of emphasis the last two days. In the first half, I felt that we had our hands on a lot of balls and just couldn't pull them in. In the second half, I thought we were able to secure more."
On UNC-Wilmington posting a higher field goal percentage than Tulane
"We had so many open shots. I don't know that we could get better shots than we had today. We just missed so many around the basket. I think that just comes with practice and you've got a lot of young players in there. Chinwe was really excited and had a lot of shots in there. A couple of Tiffany Dale's rolled out. The one thing is you're glad you got them. You just have to keep working on the confidence to make sure you hit them."
On Tulane taking care of the ball
"The last two games - even the Auburn game when I think we had 13 for the whole game - has been a real positive for us. Today, I think we shot better from the 3 than we did from the floor. That's always a good sign and we were shooting well. Defensively, I thought we did some good things at times tonight."
On bouncing back from Wednesday's loss and being able to pull away from the Seahawks in the second half
"After any loss, your focus is on your team. One of the things we focused on was how we came out for the second half. We changed some things and we came out at that media (timeout) up seven from the half and I thought that was a good sign. Our seniors and our upperclassmen really did a good job of setting the tone for the second half. Hopefully that's something that we can continue doing."
On trying to instill a killer instinct in her team
"We love to win. Sometimes, I don't think we have that killer instinct. Maybe I ask a lot from them, but we're playing a lot of players and we feel that when we sub there shouldn't be a lot of dropoff. When we sub, we should see something from that group that we're subbing in and we should take advantage of the teams that are tired. I thought we did that a little more in the second half than we did in the first half."
On the performances of Whitney Bibbins and Olivia Grayson
"I think there were a lot of good things. Whitney just does so many good things: not just scoring, but rebounding and playing defense. Turtle plays about every position on the floor. I thought both of them had a nice game. I also thought Jamie Kaplan with six assists and no turnovers, that's what you want from a point guard. Tierra Jones had nine rebounds. I think we had a lot of people come in and contribute today."
On Tulane play more aggressively on defense today
"I thought at times, we were much more aggressive. There were times when we backed off and they got those open shots, but for the most part, I thought we were much more aggressive and tried to take some things away. We held their leading scorer to two points. Our goal was to double her when she caught the ball, and I thought we did a good job of doing that. Other players had to make plays and we were able to contain that."
Senior Guard Olivia Grayson
Overall thoughts on the game
"Our mentality going into this game was just to relax and play our game, and not let our opponent affect us so much. I felt like in the second half of the Auburn game, we let them affect us more than we should have. It was really just focusing on our energy for 40 minutes."
On Tulane holding a 50-37 rebounding advantage
"It was a big part because we felt coming into this game that we could dominate the boards. If we could dominate the offensive boards and the defensive boards, we would win."
On what Tulane learned from today's game
"We need to fix the little things. We made a lot of little mistakes that cost us baskets. We need to work on ourselves and focus on what we need to improve on: talking and communicating on defense, consistent offense and playing for 40 minutes."
On committing just 10 turnovers while forcing 18 with 11 coming via steal
"We've been working on our turnovers this week because we felt it was a big part of the Auburn game. In our last couple of games, we've been turning over the ball a lot and that takes away possessions. If we don't turn the ball over, we get more opportunities to score on offense."
On Tulane being able to pull away from UNC-Wilmington in the second half
"When we look back to the Auburn game, we have to learn from that game that we have to come out in the second half stronger than in the first, especially if other team is down. You have to put yourself in their shoes and think of the mentality that they're going to come out with and match that. That's what we were able to do in the second half today."

Animal Viruses: Molecular Biology | BookPublisher: Caister Academic Press
Edited by: Thomas C. Mettenleiter and Francisco Sobrino
Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut, Federal Research Institute for Animal Health, Germany and Centro de Biología Molecular Severo Ochoa, Madrid, Spain
Pages: xii + 532
Publication date: January 2008Buy book
Price: GB £159 or US $319
The study of animal viruses contributes to our understanding of the molecular basis of viral infection in general. The emergence of the SARS virus in the human population, coming from an animal source, highlights the importance of animals in harbouring infectious agents. In addition it has been recognized recently that influenza viruses, which persist in their natural avian host, can directly infect humans.
In this book an international panel of leading virologists provide a state-of-the-art overview of the field, comprehensively detailing the current understanding of viruses, their replication, evolution and interaction with the host. The authors emphasize strategic and methodological aspects of current research, and provide key related references. Topics include foot-and-mouth disease virus, Pestivirus, Arteriviridae, Coronaviruses (including SARS), Herpesviridae, Paramyxoviridae, influenza viruses, Reoviridae, porcine circoviruses, Asfarviridae and much more.
An essential text for all virology laboratories.

Animal Virology: A Showcase of Evolution
Esteban Domingo and Marian C. Horzinek
Darwin's modern "watchdog" Theodosius Dobzhansky (1900-1975) coined the adage "Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution", which - due to their rapid replication and gargantuan progeny - applies to viruses a forteriori. Genetic variation is guided by chance, which certainly did not guide the editors of the present volume to select the authors of this epilogue: all along our main interest has been viral evolution, and "in this light" we shall comment - and enlarge on pertinent remarks made in the Preface. The impressive compilation of review articles on major virus groups with an impact in the veterinary environment leads to considerations regarding their evolution and their longterm survival as pathogens in animal populations.

PANAMA CITY BEACH -- The Panama City Beach hedgehog, as yet unnamed, did not see its shadow this morning when it came out from beneath its sand pail, signaling the continuation of sunny weather and a wonderful spring season.
That was the word this morning from PCB Mayor Gayle Oberst, who took part in the inaugural ceremony with NewsChannel 7 Today's Paris Janos and Zoo World's Stephanie Willard.
"He said we're going to have sunshine, beautiful weather and a wonderful season," Oberst said.
Will we have six more weeks of winter, as predicted by another mammal in Pennsylvania? "No, no," Oberst said.
The mayor had proclaimed the day as Hedgehog Day in Panama City Beach and presented the proclamation to Paris on the pier.
In honor of the day, Zoo World will present Hedgehog Day on Saturday, starting at noon. Admission to the park will be $5 for everyone and information about hedgehogs will be posted throughout. There will be a hedgehog look-aling contest and people coming to the park are encouraged to spike their hair like the animal.
Hedgehog Day was the invention of NewsChannel 7 Today. It's expected to become an annual event in Panama City Beach.

Outputting data with echo and print
echo statement used in Example 2-1 and Example 2-2 is frequently used and designed to output any type of data. The
echo "Hello, world"; // print works just the same print "Hello, world"; // numbers can be printed too echo 123; // So can the contents of variables echo $outputString;
Output Data Shortcut - An alternate to print or echo
There is also a shortcut that can output data. The following very short script outputs the value of the variable
<?=$temp; ?>
print vs echo
The difference between
echo is that
echo can output more than one argument:
echo "Hello, ", "world";
echo statements are also often seen with parentheses:
echo "hello"; // is the same as echo ("hello");
Parentheses make no difference to the behavior of
echo, only one output parameter can be provided.

I have a Grade Three student who struggles with basic addition and subtraction. He is using his fingers for simple operations like 5 + 2. He is frustrated trying to memorize basic math facts. However, the same child can perform three-figure addition in his head. This includes carrying numbers. He also glanced at the window blinds and asked, "What's 2 times 60?" He'd calculated the number of holes in the slats of the window blinds. What could explain this situation?

BART strips officers of tasers
The BART Police Department has decided to strip officers of tasers following an incident involving a sergeant firing an electric gun at a 13-year-old boy fleeing from cops on his bicycle.
Butler said the suspension of the Taser program would allow the department to do training that integrates rulings by the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that have already prompted changes at agencies around the Bay Area.
The most pivotal ruling came in December, when the court said a man could sue a Coronado (San Diego County) police officer who had stunned him with a Taser to gain compliance after pulling him over for failing to wear a seat belt. The man was "yelling gibberish and hitting his thighs," the court said, but did not pose an immediate threat to the officer.
Yelling gibberish and hitting one's own thighs are not yet crimes punishable by electrocution. Nor is fleeing from cops on a bike.
Butler said BART's Taser policy has always barred officers from using the devices to stop fleeing suspects, and will continue to do so. He said the new policy forbids using a Taser on a minor "unless there's some exigent circumstances."
"Let's say," he said, "you had a 17-year-old who was 6-foot-4 and 200 pounds and was pounding on an officer and the officer couldn't escape. The officer could use a Taser."
Hypothetical angry mutant teenagers aside, the far more likely scenario is the 13-year-old boy on bicycle one, or any scenario involving epileptics, feisty motorists, student protesters, the deaf and/or mentally ill, and children.
Cops are taught tasering is the "safe" alternative to deadly force as if those are the only two options at their disposal. This kind of rationale is a slippery slope. Of course, most police don't wake up every morning wondering how many innocent civilians they can kill, but they're fed the "tasers are safe" propaganda until it seems normal to use these weapons during altercations that could usually be resolved without any need for physical force — like dealing with a bicycling child.
BART made the right call here. They have to denormalize the use of tasers and retrain officers to understand they too are deadly weapons.

Grain elevators have been going up across
the Great Plains thanks to a strong corn crop and a desire to hold
onto the grain until prices improve.
Storage capacity at the nation's federally licensed grain
elevators is at an all-time high, but there's still not enough in
states like Kansas and Nebraska. In those states, millions of
bushels of grain have been piled up outside elevators at risk of
damage from foul weather.
That demand, coupled with low interest rates, has resulted in
lots of grain elevator construction.
The work has created temporary construction jobs, but the bigger
impact for rural towns may be the boost in property taxes that will
accompany the expansions. That could help schools and municipal

It is a couple of months away but was hoping to do my first ever show with my mare Lilly. I don't think my mare has ever been shown either. she is a 15hh bright bay TB X (unknnown) and is 7 years old. She has a black saddle and bridle with purple browband (we like purple) and no markings apart from a few white hairs on her face. also in new places where she doesn't know she bucks in canter but doesn't if she knows, what would i be able to do to help her out and stop this? she also doesn't like to stand still for too long... what could i do? I was hoping to enter some in-hand and ridden classes. any help? What would i need to wear, I currently have a black show jacket (but hasn't got a velvet collar) and black hat beige jods and black chaps and boots (I also have brown chaps and boots. what colour tie should I wear?
also any other advice would be greatly appreciated :)

Protection From Accidents
When defining the type of glass to be used in your rooflight it is important to define whether the glazing is classed as regular or overhead. This can determine the specification of the glass. Ask your window supplier for advice.
Where glass is used overhead, at low level or in and around doors, windows and screens, the relevant British Standards must be met to protect against accidental human impact, such as children running into a patio door. There are three types of common safety glass:
- Toughened glass that is up to five times stronger than ordinary glass and it breaks into small, safe granular pieces on when broken.
- Laminated glass consists of two pieces of glass bonded together with a clear plastic interlayer so it cracks when broken but stays in position, reducing the risk of injury.
- Wired Safety Glass has a wire mesh embedded within the glass and it behaves like laminated glass when broken.

For anyone who may care, I have heard from multiple people inside of the football program that the quarterback depth chart going into fall looks like:
1. Rohach
2. Lanning
3. Richardson
Rohach is pretty far ahead at this point, and will most likely wrap up the starting job within the first few weeks of fall camp.
Glad to hear Rohach is locking up the job. Very surprised Lanning passed Sam.
Kansas wears Adidas.
mmmm do we have any other QB?

I wonder if his confidence is still shaken from last year. It's really too bad, I always thought he had a lot of potential.
Not sure how many starts Sam has, I'll guess around 10, but if Lanning is able to pass him with the no game experience he must be really improving.

I would expect that Sam will move on if he is passed over by Lanning. I really liked Sam, but he seems to have lost it. Had a lot of tough breaks.
i would like to see Rohach start all 12 games
Cyclone state
"Some fans show up for big games, our fans show up for every game, Hoiberg said.
I'm rooting for Sam personally. When healthy I think he's more accurate, he's tough and he's a leader. Not saying Rohach isn't but I'd like to see what Sam can do fully healthy behind a healthy and more experienced line.

Want the best quarterback to play and I'm not at practice but I would have a tough time believing this based on game play. Richardson played the much tougher schedule and when not hurt played well. Rohach was too inaccurate like the spring game even though he beat some bad teams at the end.
I find it hard to believe that Sam is not above Lanning. Not saying he is an All American, but when healthy he was fairly productive. Lanning has zero game experience, which is pretty critical as far as I am concerned.
Messingham ruined Sam.
I wonder if the coaching staff isn't just trying to light a fire under Sam?
I cannot for the life of me believe that if Rohach had to come out of the first game for some reason, that Lanning would be put in. I just don't believe that. It could be true, I just kinda doubt it.
Strangely enough, I believe with clonedude. IMO, Lanning would have to be quite a bit better than he was in the spring game to be ahead of Sam. Either that or they think Lanning's a good enough runner and our o-line is good enough that they can go pretty run heavy this season.

thats life.
What I don't understand is two years ago Jantz & Barnett were injured, ineffective, turning the ball over, or whatever else. Finally Jantz is hurt and Richardson gets his chance and does well to end the season. Last year Richardson starts and is injured (so we are told) and he still starts. We are told this is because GR is not ready. This is, mind you, the 2nd string QB. To me it seems inexcusable for a #2 QB not to be game ready. Even the 3rd team to a lesser extent should be at least capable of going in, for a few series. After all Ia State beat a pretty darn good Nebby team with a 5th string QB for crying outloud.
Now the season is long over and all we are told is that he was more injured than what was let on. If he was that injured how can he give the team the best chance of winning over the 2nd teamer? Was he that confused with the playbook? When finally replaced with GR he did fine. Now GR is #1 and SR is not even number 2, that don't add up.
I know how there is a bunch on here that want to rip on anything, so I will point out in advance that I am not a Debbie Downer on the football team. I have been hopeful for the last couple years that improvement from the offensive squad could make a lot of difference. I knew this was needed to possibly replace, not 1, but 2 NFL LBs. Needless to say it did not happen.
Now again heading into another season, I feel the offense must be improved. But I still do not understand this situation with the QBs at all. I will still have hope that a revival in the offense could have surprising results. Not wanting a coaching change BUT I do not understand the QB situation and would like to hear some straight talk from someone.

Well, if you are reading this, you're at least part way to owning what could be the "Intel" of the new millineum (sp?). There are two major concerns among us citizens today - crime and gov't spending. Here's a solution to both in one package. Think
there's much potential for growth here?! All conservatives should buy this stock on principle! Reduce the size and scope of government and keep the criminals locked up, right? In the Knowing What You Own department, see the qualifications and histories of the Board. If you're gov't grunt sending out a RFP to build a new prison, would you not include these guys!
Thanks for your clarification concerning the stock split.
I agree with your refference to WHC as a world wide blue chip.
This is exactly the kind of stock institutional investors will
be looking to move into next year, as they leave many of the
stocks that will be slowing in their earnings.Keep posting!
greek46, instead of taking your advice we took a vacation. Now my techs are nearly wiped out by "year-end tax write-offs" sales and WHC is happily up and up. I could have spent more at Macy's year end clearance if I just had a brain.
Anyhow, happy New Year, and keep posting!
to the greek, i believe you were more or less RIGHTthe first
time ..\ previously to the split which did take place in the
60"s both WHC, AND CXC were shooting up like rockets.
cxc to about $90. and whc in the 70"s or 80"s then both
stocks started correcting to the downside quite fast with
whc splitting somewhere about $68..
but that is in the past, the record that both stocks have
shown over the last 3 years is , that you can buy and hold
and make good money based on great long term fundamentals.
or get rich by buying when these stocks correct to the downside as a previos poster has done.
Whew! I'm going to have to go a little slower when I post a message next time. However in the intrest of accuracy WHC's stock got up to the mid to high 40's (not 60's), before splitting 2:1.
My own errors do not dis-credit the stocks ability to perform
in '98.I will try hard to proof read my posts better next time.
Happy Investing
My refference to item #1, should've read as follows:
WHC had little or no earnings, on 62 million in revenues 4 years ago.Now they are looking at a 51% (or 208 million) increase for 1997 as compared to their 1996 revenue.
Sorry for any confusion,
I'll let the market speak to your last posting....the time is 11:10 A.M. PST,12/30/97 and Wackenhut is up almost 20 % in
less than two trading sessions!This stock reached over $60.00 per share, in the past year, before a 2:1 stock split.Whc's
earnings will continue to go UP, in a big way, and not because of the number of analysts touting the stock, but because of good old
fashioned fundamentals.....1) check out their earnings (from little or nothing, to 62 MILLION in four years)earnings for 1997 are
expected to rise 51%, to 208 million!...2)Net income should rise 21%, to 11.7 million...3) Wackenhut recently outbid it's largest
competitor, Corrections Corp. of America, in a contract for a federal prison in California, and already DOMINATES the foreign market.The
institution of privatized prisons are expected to grow an average of 25% per year over the next 5 years....3)WHC just recieved a 25-year
contract for a 400 bed correctional facility in England...4)Business Week ran a very favorable article about Wackenhut 2 weeks ago,
saying WHC is scoring big in the prison business both in the US and abroad. These are the facts that will make this stock shine in
'98!....but hey! don't take my word for it, do your own due dilligence, and see for yourself.HAPPY NEW YEAR!
WHC might come up again, but don't forget that it used to be over 40 a year and a half ago or so. There is only a brokerage house that's been recommending this dog. It's been a looser for quite a while now and no matter how high it's going to go in the next couple of years, over a 4 year period, any hightech company, leader in its field would have done better than WHC. Count your beans before investing in this one. It's a loser in my book!
I just read an article in BW that was rather bullish on this private prison builder. Does anyone know who Wackenhut is?
WELL, IF YOU READ THE B.W article it pretty well summed
it up WHC, IS BUILDING prisons all over the world now
in PR, AUSTRAILA,UNITED KINGDOM,IRELAND, AND
currently expecting to get a nice contract in SOUTH AFRICA
very soon, of course as wellas the USA, cant think of a better buy right now, THE STOCK
IS NOW ON SALE.. NO ASIAN PROBLEMS earnings are
on the constant rise, 4 prisons alone opening this month of
Hi WHC followers, I'm a gold-bug and the reason I'm bullish on gold is the same reason I'm bullish on companies like WAK and CXC that being that I see a future that looks more like "Bladerunner" than the "Jetsons". All you have to do is look at the 20th
century migration patterns in the US. "White Flight" from the city to the suburbs and now the the new migration by "those who have", call it "New Frontierism" to places like Colorardo, Wyoming and Nevada. Lets face it, rightly or wrongly there is a view that larger cities, especially the inner-city are a strain the average tax payer want to do with out. "the coast is toast".
Further, the rapid growth of gated communities, private alarm system co.s, karate studios, right to carry a gun legislation and the fact there are now more "private police-officer" than there are on the public payroll.
Because of economies of scale companies like WHC and CXC can pitch to every level of government and make offers they can't refuse. They just cant't justify to the tax-paying public the expence of maintaining a "public-service" when the private sector can do it cheaper.
Because of low interest rates and the banks easy credit policies (leading to massive consumer debt) the unemployment rate is low now but it will no alway remain so. When things inevitably change, and they will, interest rates and unemployment will rise so will crime ,incarceration and the price of WHC. The bleaker the future the better for WHC.
Wackenhut is a leading company in the incarceration outsourcing business. They build and run prisons and provide related services (like prisoner transport, etc) for government agencies at various levels throughout the world. They are not the leader in the market (see CXC), but are definitely a player.
I think the business has a future, not only because of high crime rates, but because of the cost-cutting pressures on govt agencies . By outsourcing these services, these agencies save money and have more to spend on other (probably wasteful) programs.

TUCSON, Ariz.The University of Arizona women's basketball team opened the 1999- 2000 season with its annual Red-Blue scrimmage where the Blue team cruised to a 69-51 win over the Red team on Sunday night.
The Blue team went on a 10-3 run in the first six minutes of the game and went into the lockerroom at halftime with a 12-point lead. The Red team pulled to within four at the end of the first half, but the Blue team began the second half with a 13-7 run, giving them a 51-35 lead. With 12:27 remaining in the game, the Red squad cut the Blue team's lead to 10, but the blue team made 5-of-6 from the line in the second half, and the team shot 43 percent from the field to seal the win.
"The Blue team did a very nice job tonight, especially its guards," head coach Joan Bonvicini said. "They looked for each other, and played very well on defense. The Red team did not play as well, though. We did get a lot of scoring from the perimeter players."
Sophomore forward Elizabeth Pickney led all scorers, and the Blue team, with 17 points, 14 rebounds and two blocked shots. Senior guard Felecity Willis handed in 13 points and eight assists, while sophomore guard Julie Brase scored 11 points and sophomore center LaKeisha Taylor pulled down 14 boards. Senior forward Tatum Brown led the Red team with 12 points and pulled down 18 rebounds. Senior guard Monika Crank added eight points, and senior forward Angela Lackey and freshman guard Krista Warren each contributed seven points.
"We are going to be much stronger this year inside. Liz (Pickney), LaKeisha Taylor and Tatum (Brown) rebounded very well for us tonight," Bonvicini said. "We have talked about this all preseason, being strong on the boards and getting second chances. There is an emphasis on that everyday in practice. We were weak in that area last year, but I think that we are going to be improved an awful lot there this year."
"We have a very deep team, so I don't mind sharing the minutes this year," Tatum Brown said. "It especially helps if someone gets tired or in foul trouble."
Arizona faces the SBC Prerov Czechoslovakia team on Friday, Nov. 5 in the first of two exhibition games before the team travels to Hawaii to open the regular season in the Hawaiian Regent Classic on Friday, Nov. 19.

|College Football Madness tabs 8 Vandals
Idaho junior punter Bobby Cowan is a first-team all-Western Athletic Conference choice by College Football Madness. Second-team selections for the Vandals are tight end Mike LaGrone, offensive tackle Matt Cleveland, cornerback Matthew Harvey and safety Gary Walker. Also earning mention as third-team choices are linebackers Korey Toomer and Tre`Shawn Robinson, and punt returner Justin Veltung.
Cowan, from Vancouver, Wash., continued this year to make his mark as one of the best punters in Idaho football history. In 2011, his 88 punts tied Ron Davis (1970) for the single-season record, while his 4,084 punting yards set a Vandal single-season mark. His average of 46.4 per kick is second best for a single-season. He also has the school's third- and seventh-best single-season averages. His 2011 average was second best in the NCAA.
He moved to the top of Idaho's career punting average list at 45.2 – 2.6 yards longer than the previous career mark set by Steve Hunter (1971-72). His 189 career punts are fourth all-time and his 8,552 career yards are third all-time.
LaGrone, a junior from Reno, Nev., caught 21 passes for 262 yards to finish with the fourth-best totals among Idaho's receivers and the best of from the tight end corps. His three touchdown receptions tied for the top mark on the team.
Cleveland, a senior from Kent, Wash., started all 12 games to finish his career with 38 successive starts after being sidelined as a redshirt freshman with an injury.
Harvey, a senior from Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., who joined the Vandals after playing one season at Ellsworth College, was Idaho's eighth leading tackler with 38 total tackles, five pass breakups and one pass interception.
Walker, a junior from Redlands, Calif., notched 109 total tackles to finish second to Robinson. He had 67 solo stops and 42 assists with four tackles for loss and one sack. He also had three pass breakups and one fumble recovery. His 67 solo stops tied for 19th nationally and his total tied for 39th.
Toomer, a senior from Las Vegas, Nev., made his mark throughout the season on defense then opened eyes late in the season when he played a dual role at fullback in short yardage situations. He finished the season with 68 total tackles – fifth on the team, and 10.5 tackles for loss and four sacks – both team bests. He also had one pass interception, four breakups, three hurries, one blocked kick and one fumble recovery. From his fullback position, he scored one two-point conversion and three touchdowns on nine carries totaling 27 yards.
Robinson, a senior from Upland, Calif., led the Vandals with 117 total tackles (59 solo and 58 assists) and had 7.5 tackles for loss and two sacks in addition to two pass breakups, four hurries and four forced fumbles. He finished tied for 25th nationally in total tackles and 19th in forced fumbles.
Veltung, a junior from Puyallup, Wash., was tabbed as a punt returner with 11 returns for 185 yards – and two touchdowns. He scored on an 81-yard return against Louisiana Tech and on a 64-yarder against New Mexico State. His 81-yard return tied for 16th longest in the NCAA this season.
