We're so uptight half the darn time. And you can't blame us. We're playing at a level where we had three big games against three great teams and we needed to play hard. We played hard; we didn't make shots. The shots will come. We can't stress here and think we're not going to make any more shots for the rest of our lives.

We're going to continue to campaign against this whether or not I'm a nominee.

We're going to come out and be ready. We know that they are extremely physical and play great man-to-man defense. We've had problems against man-to-man teams.

We are pleased to once again be working with our colleagues in Egypt. Through our numerous collaborations over the past 20 years, we have developed a strong working relationship based on mutual concern for the preservation of Egypt's rich heritage, which includes some of civilization's most significant sites. This renewed partnership will enable us to build on our joint investments and achievements in conservation, and to expand our efforts throughout the region.

We are pleased to have reached this agreement with the SPEEA bargaining committee, and hope that all SPEEA members give this agreement their full consideration,
