...Bose SoundDock and Klipsch iGroove, but those are meant for small spaces. The bigger, heavier Hi-Fi is meant to fill a room. Still, though it has an auxiliary input for stereo sources, it's not necessarily something you'd think to connect to your cable set-top box. And because it's all one piece, it wouldn't make a good speaker system for a computer...
...time baseball charisma more prominent than in the 2005 NCAA Regional Tournament, which took place in Fullerton, just an hour away from where Vance grew up. While the Crimson suffered humbling defeats at the hands of nationally-ranked Cal State-Fullerton and Missouri, Vance filled up the box scores and his position in center field, seemingly unfazed by the crowds of 2,000-plus or CSF’s storied tradition.

...like a splash of cold water. Dubbed the Third Way, the bulk of the province's health-care "policy framework" is laudable stuff, though mostly not revolutionary. The first proposal, for instance, is to put patients' interests first. But mixed among the ideas, planners included an out-of-the-box proposal that would allow private clinics to offer certain services currently available only under Medicare and--gadzooks!--charge the patients directly for them. Another Canadian-taboo breaker is a proposal to allow Alberta doctors to work simultaneously in and outside the public-health sector; now doctors must choose...
