He (Lacy) was dealing with a deceitful department head who sounds like he was hiding some bad news, ...

Kate will bring unquestioned integrity, values and work ethic to the lieutenant governor's office, ... She is not afraid to challenge the status quo, and she believes, as I do, that Nebraskans are not satisfied with 'pretty good' or 'good enough.' With Kate on our team, I am convinced more than ever that we can transform Nebraska into a world-class performer on every level.

I think it is impossible for any Spaniard to imagine a World Cup without Spain. The reality is that we are not leading the group but there's no use looking back on what might have been. If things don't go our way we should still be in the playoffs but I'm convinced we've still got a chance of finishing in first place. Let's see what happens.

I was convinced we would beat Inter. The first half was balanced but in the second perhaps we deserved more than one goal.

I was convinced we would beat Inter. In the second half perhaps we deserved to score more than one goal. This isn't a miracle or a dream. It's based on hard work and belief.

I was convinced that we would come out here and it would be a real celebration, that it would be a culmination of our season. But I'm looking forward to being out here and really enjoying this time, soaking this all in just as I did the Super Bowl last week, and just get ready to move forward.

It is one of our perennial problems, whether there is actually a God. From the Hindu point of view each soul is divine. All religions are branches of one big tree. It doesn't matter what you call Him just as long as you call. Just as cinematic images appear to be real but are only combinations of light and shade, so is the universal variety a delusion.

We are telling players who want to play in Europe to get ready and find work over there.

My idea is to have two players for each position. If you have a strong squad you can play all the games with a good team. I am convinced we already have a better team than last season. Yes, we want to fight for the Premiership, but we want to go for all of the trophies. We will not say one trophy is more important than the other, because we now have a squad that can challenge in all competitions.

I don't think Tennessee is unique in that regard.

It does not surprise me that the new secretary would take a look at that situation.
