We want to push on with the issues that came up in the campaign.

Since it has been such a roller coaster, this moment definitely feels really good. It doesn't get much better than helping your team win a big game. I'm going to savor it for a long time.

Now that we're centrally located on campus, we can reach out and serve students better. We're changing as Iowa State adapts.

Basically I want to come in first place. I haven't sat down and looked at numbers. It's too easy to get caught up in that. I just go out and play hard everyday.

It gets the community excited, but as far as kind of a reflection of the value of a medical school, no one up here takes it too seriously.

The 1980s was the last decade of large suburban expansion. The '90s were a re-sorting era, with the central city gaining population after decades of decline. Now we're in a decade trending toward a fairly large-scale re-sorting of the housing market away from the far reaches of suburbia.

That's the way we've been all year. Every time someone scores on us, we score right back.

We jumped ahead early and then turned it over to the defense. I was pleased with the energy the team had. The key to our success is energy and focus. In the victory, we had both.

We didn't score in the first game so we were going to be aggressive this time.

The rate of animal feed growth has just been incredible down here. The Brazilians are every bit as sophisticated as a U.S. producer, and in some ways, even more sophisticated.

I've been expecting to get a few minutes every game in the playoffs so I'm just playing my role pretty much, doing whatever I can for the team. Take the open shot but that's pretty much it.

So you can imagine her relief and joy when she was told the good news about being selected for ITV's I'm A Celebrity. It's just the tonic she needs to get her life back on track again.

As good as (Southern Nevada) is, to come in and win in their park, that's a good thing for Derek.

They had us (stopped) there but we didn't let it affect us.

a terrifying prospect to serious foreign policy players.

It's easy to get excited and just give them what they want. But you have to remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. We went on the Internet and there are all these stories about people who gave their account information out and then all kinds of money was taken. It's just a shame that there are people out here who would do people that way.

I try not to think about all of that and put it behind, but I can't deny this has been a season of major ups and downs for me,

I'm over all that sort of stuff and I'm so glad I am. I feel so much better and spring training was so much better this year. I'll try to do the same things I tried last year, just work hard. I have the tools. I just got to try to use them.

I read the paper and it makes me nervous.

His attitude, just his presence was lacking early in the year. But he found it and now he's locked in.

The future's not going to be the past, but it can be better than it would otherwise be. You're not going to redevelop everything, but a sterling project here will spin off a sterling project there, and in 30 years you'll see a vastly different community. It's going to take conversation to have it all make sense when it's done, and conversation is tough. But we're getting better at that.
