Watch for changes on Monday

• A front page designed to attract your attention with different kinds of presentation. It won't always be the traditional story with a headline. We already are presenting some stories in a question and answer format, as a graphic, as a series of photos or as a timeline or checklist.
  
  
• The "rail" of short items down the left side of each section front will disappear. Readers often go right past these items, and the effect is to make the useable page smaller.
  
  
• Page 2A will not be a roundup of nation, world and people briefs. Those briefs will be placed on other pages, where they will pair with national or foreign stories. Celebrity news will appear on a separate page.
  
  
• Stories will be placed throughout the first two sections based on news value instead of geography. Right now the first section is reserved for national and foreign news. Local news that doesn't make the front page appears in the B section. With our new plan the best local news will appear in the A section. News from wire services will appear in A or B sections.
  
  
• Each theme inside page will have a page topper, a word or phrase designed to tell you what kinds of stories are on that page. These entry points will make it easier for you to skim the paper and find exactly the news that interests you.
  
  
• With each page topper will be a tidbit, a short piece of information that tells you something interesting. It could be who to contact, what's next or some statistic that relates to one or more of the stories on the page.
  
  
• The editorial and op-ed pages move to the inside back cover of the first section. Every day you will just have to turn to the back page of the first section, open the page and there will be the opinion pages. This allows us to present the news from the front page on through the first section, without interrupting the flow.
  
  
• Page 2A will become an expanded index and a place for readers to talk back to us. We'll run rants & raves, as well as picking up some of the best online reader comments. There will be a local photo on the page every day. There will be a detailed index of every section and a regional index, letting you see every story from Richmond, Columbia and Aiken counties. There also will be an update on road construction and traffic delays in the area. We will continue to run information on how to contact the newspaper, lottery numbers and corrections.
  
  
• The Metro section will be called Community to reflect what the content will be. We want you to see yourself and your neighbors in these pages. News and feature stories and photos, as well as Bill Kirby's column, will be on 1B.
  
  
• The inside of the section will change. Instead of a collection of briefs on 3B you will find a daily features page. Monday will be Survive, Tuesday Xtreme, Wednesday Food, Thursday Health, Friday Gardening, Saturday Generations and Sunday a look ahead and a look back at the top stories of the week. Some days there will be two or more features pages.
  
  
• We will continue our Applause, Your Faith and Sunday Your Life sections.
  
  
• Obituaries will appear after the features pages.
  
  
• Every day there will be a page with upcoming events, to help you plan your life. We also will feature upcoming stories in The Chronicle, so you will know when to look for them.
  
  
• Instead of limiting our business news to parts of two pages, we will devote as much space as necessary each day. Some days that will be less space, other days it will be several pages. Stock listings will only be available on our web site. We will run a quick roundup of the market results at the top of the page.

These changes are meant to make the paper easier to use and more helpful. The newspaper and the web site should reflect the life of our community and should offer you information to make your life easier. If you think of other ways we can do that, please let me know.

The Chronicle is a living, breathing organism that grows out of its community. It will continue to change and evolve as the people of our community change. Thank you for letting us be a part of your life.

"For Better or Worse" heads to reruns

Lynn Johnston, who draws the comic strip "For Better or Worse," says she will stop drawing the comic and just offer reruns when the current story lines end. That means we will offer our readers strips that are nearly 30 years old.

If you are a fan, don't worry, I'm not proposing we drop this strip. People get very upset when we drop comic strips, and this has long been a favorite in Augusta. But for the life of me I can't figure out why people want to read 30-year-old comics.

Ms. Johnston has been easing into this rerun cycle by sprinkling in some of her old strips with current ones. I guess she got tired of giving us mental whiplash by bouncing back and forth from old to new drawings.

One of the things we have loved about "For Better or Worse" is that its characters age in more or less real time. It was like watching your own family change over the years. Not many strips do that and none has done it as well as Ms. Johnston has. Not only did the story change over time, but so did her drawing style. So viewing some of these old strips has made me cringe.

To me, this is no different than when one of the TV networks had a campaign during rerun season that said, "If you haven't seen it before, then it's still new to you." I laughed when that was unveiled and thought what a silly idea it was.

But that's what we're going to do with "For Better or Worse." I would much rather run something new and relevant to today, but we publish the newspaper for our readers, and they have told us before they love "For Better of Worse," even the reruns.

I would love it if some of  you who want us to run the old strips would explain that to me. Feel free to respond to this entry or send me an email at dennis.sodomka@augustachronicle.com.

Oh, and we have some changes coming to The Chronicle (none involving comics) that I'll tell you about next week.

Calling all political junkies

Whether you are a political junkie or someone who hasn’t even registered to vote, The Augusta Chronicle has a new website for you. It’s called ActiVote.  

Electing our leaders is always important, but in a presidential election year it’s even more important that you pay attention.

ActiVote can help you with whatever contests are important to you.  From local races to presidential politics, ActiVote will have all the information you need to make good decisions. We’ve designed it to handle the latest news as well as background information on candidates and issues.  

Can’t remember how many Senators there are? You can find out on ActiVote. Wonder which candidate best lines up with you on the issues? By answering a few questions about the issues, you can get a computer match with the candidate of your dreams. We call it vHarmony. Get it? 

And if you need a laugh, we can even help with that. ActiVote has a section that looks at the lighter side of politics.  The first thing you need to do is go to http://augustachronicle.com/election. You don’t have to register to use the site, but you’ll get more out of it if you do register.  

Once you get there, look around. Play with the navigational prompts and you’ll find all kinds of useful tools. The home page has the latest news, some videos, a poll question, a list of blogs, a primary calendar and a look at issues. From there you can go to:

• Civics 101. This gives you all the information about government that you probably learned in school, but forgot. We tell you about political parties, the Electoral College and even how to register and why you should.
• Issues. Right now these are the issues in the presidential primaries, with the positions taken by the candidates. Later, we will have local issues and the positions taken by candidates for local and state office.
• Candidates. Profiles, photos and videos of the presidential candidates. As candidates qualify for local and state offices we will include them.
• Blogs. Want to know what other people are saying? This is the place to find out. If you want to start your own political blog you can do that, too. Speak up. Be heard.
• Events. This is a calendar of political events, including all the presidential primaries and national conventions scheduled so far. Local information will be added later.
• Forums. This is where you can chat about political topics with other people interested in a particular topic.
• Video. All the latest campaign videos.
• Unzipped. This is where you find all the weird, funny stuff. John Winters puts this together for your reading pleasure. Some of you may remember John, because he used to be a Chronicle reporter. He covered the Savannah River Site and later became our Washington, D.C. correspondent. Before taking on the ActiVote project he ran our Morris News Service in Atlanta.

 Here’s what Mr. Winters had to say about ActiVote: “Our goal with ActiVote is not only educational – to help readers learn the issues and where candidates stand – but to provide a forum for citizens to participate in the electoral process. It’s an opportunity to get involved, not only in a candidate’s race, but any grassroots effort vital to each community.” 

You can’t tell it from that quote, but John also has a wicked sense of humor. You’ll have to check him out at Unzipped. 

The ActiVote site will be fun and useful during this political season, and it’s designed to be useful in the years ahead. Check it out. Take it for a test drive and let me know what you think. We will be looking for ways to improve it.  

Of course, our political coverage will continue in the printed newspaper. But if you really want to dig into politics, or have some fun, you’ll want to go to ActiVote and keep coming back to it all year long.  

Time to be thankful for our blessings

This has been another one of those years I will be happy to see in the rear view mirror. But even looking back on a less than ideal year, I find so many blessings I don’t know where to begin. I hope between the turkey and the football and the family gatherings you will take some time to think about your blessings. You will be amazed how much better that will make you feel. 

Here are a few of the things I’m thankful for this year: My wonderful wife of 17 years. We married the day after Thanksgiving in 1990 after meeting only 14 months earlier. There hasn’t been a single day since then when I wasn’t thankful that she married me. Pat has taught me so much about what real love is. She fills in my many rough spots and helps me appreciate the joys of our life together.  

James Brown. I bought his records when I was in college, and they’re just as much fun to listen to today.  

Bob Dylan. I thought he was great in the ‘60s, but with every passing year I discover new pleasures in his work. The Times They Are A-Changin’ sounds different to a 60-year-old than it did to a 20-year-old, but it is still powerful. And if you haven’t heard the sweet, simple I’ll Be Your Baby Tonight lately, find it and listen to it.  

Charities and not-for-profits. Augusta is blessed with many great organizations that make our community better, whether it’s caring for people who need help or broadening our cultural horizons. At this time of year there are four that hold special meaning for me: The Empty Stocking Fund, Salvation Army, Golden Harvest Food Bank and all the local churches.  

The Empty Stocking Fund, run by The Augusta Chronicle, helps make Christmas brighter for children who might not otherwise get a gift. We kick off the season with a free concert at First Baptist Church at 3 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are available at Chronicle offices.  

Golden Harvest helps people all year long, but they do especially good work at this time of year when people need a good meal. 

The Salvation Army does so much good work in God’s name, but the most identifiable campaign is at Christmas with its toy giveaway and the red kettle donations. If you want to experience the joy of helping you can work in the toy warehouse or ring the bell at a Salvation Army kettle. Call the Salvation Army office. You or your organization can adopt a kettle at one of the locations for a day. Ringing the bell and watching people drop in their spare change or a couple of dollars will fill you with holiday cheer. 

No organization does more good work in our community than the local churches. Don’t forget to support them as you make your donations. They are there every day throughout the year, spreading God’s message of love and redemption.  

I’m also thankful for Jimi Hendrix, Norah Jones and Robert Earl Keen. 

I’m thankful I knew two Eds who died this year. Edmund J. Rooney died in January at the age of 82. He was already a legend when I met him after I was hired by the Chicago Daily News, but I didn’t know that. He had won a Pulitzer Prize for uncovering a crooked state auditor and had been a Nieman Fellow, a highly prestigious appointment at Harvard University.  

To a young reporter right out of school he was just this older guy who seemed to know every cop and every politician in Chicago. He would come into the city room, walk over to his favorite rewrite man—another true genius named Phillip J. O’Connor—and carry on a conversation, occasionally looking at his notebook. Ed would rock back and forth on his heels, twirling a button on his brown suit, sometimes making a phone call to confirm a detail. It all seemed so routine, so matter-of-fact.  

But that afternoon the paper would roll off the presses with another blockbuster Rooney/O’Connor story plastered across the front page. Over time I learned a lot from Ed about cultivating sources and checking details. I also learned a lot about life from this devout family man. After retiring he became a teacher and earned a doctorate at age 67. He was a giant of journalism and a giant of a human being. I’m thankful for all he taught me. 

Ten years after I left Chicago I met another Ed who was a giant, Edward Cashin. Everyone knows him as the authority on Augusta history who shaped generations of students at Augusta State University. I also got to know him as a neighbor and friend.  

I’d often see him working on his yard—a true labor of love—or practicing golf with plastic balls, or walking in the neighborhood with his wife Mary Ann. Whatever we talked about, Ed always had a keen sense of what the most important point was. We belonged to a group called the Ten Club, and often when he’d make a presentation I’d think I wouldn’t have any interest in the topic. But I would come away from his talk thinking how fascinating it had been.  

I’m also thankful for: 

Water, popcorn, Irish whiskey, soup, sauvignon blanc, shrimp from Edisto and chocolate. 

People who read, especially those who read newspapers. 

Steven Kendrick and all he does for our community, especially with the Youth Leadership Richmond County program.  

Mayor Deke Copenhaver and other city officials who have moved our city forward by working together. If you haven’t attended the mayor’s monthly prayer breakfast you should.  

My dog Bogey (named for Humphrey Bogart, not the golf term). Even though he did some things to irritate me, such as chew chair legs, windowsills and blinds, he was a good ol’ dog. He brought a lot of joy to our family before dying this year. 

My son Michael, who continues to confound and amaze me. He’s 15, and extremely bright. But I’ve entered that phase of his life where I am dumber than a post. I can only hope to emerge from it years later with a little of my sanity and dignity intact. He also has a wonderful, loving heart that he mostly keeps buried beneath the teenage armor of indifference and hostility.  

I’m grateful Michael discovered the drama program at Augusta Prep. The theater teacher, Jamie McAteer, has assembled an amazing group of talented students and he always brings out the best in them. Michael has played characters ranging from the grim reaper to a 1930s farm hand to a singing sailor. I watch him perform and think, “Who knew?” 

I’m especially thankful that God still loves us all, despite the foolishness we engage in every day. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. 

Farewell, Ed Cashin

Edward Cashin’s memorial service today was a beautiful tribute to a man who exemplified “a life well lived.” 

St. Mary on the Hill Catholic Church was packed with family, friends, students and others whose lives were touched by this remarkable man. Gov. Sonny Perdue even sent someone to read a statement from him. The funeral mass was uplifting, filled with the joy and enthusiasm Ed had shared with so many during his life.  

When Dr. Lee Ann Caldwell talked about how Ed had inspired so many students in nearly 40 years of teaching, heads nodded throughout the church. Lee Ann, herself, was one of his students at Augusta College when he told her she belonged in graduate school. Ed became her mentor and friend, and she now is chairwoman of the Department of History, Geography and Philosophy at Georgia College & State University in Milledgeville. 

Though Ed earned respect for his scholarship, the public Ed Cashin was only a small part of the real man. I’ve known Ed for nearly 20 years, as a news source, friend, neighbor and fellow member of a small, informal club of people who meet monthly to exchange ideas. Though he was known as Mr. Augusta History and wrote more than 30 history books, his intellectual curiosity and personal concern covered a wide range of topics. I was constantly amazed at the variety of topics about which Ed was knowledgeable. 

He loved to work in his yard, walk through the neighborhood or the Georgia mountains with his wife Mary Ann, play with his grandchildren and work on his golf game. Even though he seemed to be always working on the next book, he always had time for family and friends. He seemed to take everything in stride, never getting too upset about anything. Ed also had a delightful sense of humor and a warm, inviting laugh. He also offered friendly encouragement if you were working on some kind of project.

Like so many other people throughout Augusta and Georgia, I’ll miss him. He made our world a better place.

New life for Judge Parker, Flying McCoys, Scrabblegrams and Word Warp

  Last week I told you we were changing The Augusta Chronicle’s lineup of  comics and puzzles. I asked for your comments, and you gave them. Many of you responded, some with great passion. As a result we’re keeping some of the features we had planned to drop.

In particular, Judge Parker, Scrabblegrams and Word Warp have been spared. We’re still working out the details of what will go where, but for next week, the comics page will continue with its same lineup.

Because of some other changes we made to keep the bridge column, three features (Scrabblegrams, Word Warp and Flying McCoys) will not be in their customary place on the weather page next week. As soon as we figure out where to put things, they will be back.  

Because of how much our readers seem to like working puzzles, we want to add even more puzzles. If you have a favorite or two that we don’t publish now, send me a note, an email or a phone call about what you would like to see. We’ll try to get the new lineup set within a couple of weeks. 

Our TV Week section has moved to Saturday this week and will be delivered only to subscribers who request it. If you forgot to ask for the section, you can still get it next week if you call (706) 722-5620 or toll-free at (866) 249-8223.  If you didn’t get a TV Week and want to find out what’s on tonight, our expanded prime time grid is in the Your Life section. We have added seven channels to the grid: Lifetime Movie Network (movies for women), ESPNC (racing and other sports), BBC America, G4 (gaming and video gaming programming), Game Show Network, Noggin (children’s programming from Nickelodeon and Children’s Television Workshop) and Trinity Broadcasting Network (religious programming). There are 24-hour grids on our website, as always. 

I’m glad our readers care enough about our content to call and write. As I’ve said many times the readers are the reason we have a website and publish a printed newspaper. Without them, our work is meaningless. So our goal every day is to publish information that is essential to your lives. Because our readers are so diverse we try to publish different items that appeal to large blocs of people. To do that effectively, we need to hear from you. 

I heard from many of you last week. I had several pleasant conversations with readers who called. One delightful woman asked that we keep Scrabblegrams because she and her 91-year-old neighbor race to see who will finish it first every day. Others who called also had friendly advice about what they could do without if we could just keep a certain comic or a particular puzzle. 

The only ugly comments came from email and snail mail. Most of them were polite, but a few writers felt compelled to rip into The Chronicle, my brain power and even our editorial page (which I do not control). Maybe there is something about putting pen to paper or composing electronic messages that brings out the beast.  

Editing a newspaper is fun for many reasons, not the least of which is the fact that every reader is convinced he or she could do it better. That’s why I like to hear from you. I can learn about what you want in your newspaper. I know we can’t please everybody every day. But we do try to find that sweet spot where more and more of you enjoy reading what we do online and in print. 

Change coming to The Chronicle

More change is coming to The Augusta Chronicle. I’ve written about changes to the newspaper before, so you might know that I understand many people don’t like change.

But as the pace of change in our world continues to increase, we all get a little more comfortable with change. Newspapers and newspaper readers must get more comfortable with it because in a supersonic world, newspapers tend to change at glacial speeds. That can be a recipe for disaster.  

We tend to do the same old things because that’s what we’ve always done, and they have been successful in the past. Newspaper people say we don’t change because we’re an institution and institutions shouldn’t change quickly. These days many institutions are changing quickly in order to survive.

We also are a business, and if businesses don’t change quickly they disappear. The first change you’ll see is our TV week section. If you want to continue receiving that section, you need to call us right away. This is the last week the section will be included in all of our papers, and the last week it will appear on Sunday.

Starting next weekend the section will be delivered on Saturday only to Augusta Chronicle subscribers who request it. It will not be included in copies sold in racks or stores. So if you use the section please call (706) 722-5620, or toll free at (866) 249-8223.  

Over the years, as the TV market has gotten more fragmented with hundreds of cable channels available, we have not been able to publish the listings for every channel. We do offer searchable listings on our website, at augustachronicle.com/television. Just enter your zip code and cable provider and you’ll get a complete schedule of channel and programming information. Some viewers use the electronic grids provided by the cable and satellite companies. 

We’re trying to cut costs without eliminating content that our readers want. That will allow us to put our resources to use covering things you think are important.  

We also will add seven channels to the grid and bring back summaries of movies in TV Week. We dropped the summaries some years ago when we expanded the grids. The prime time TV grid that appears in The Chronicle every day will get bigger and will appear seven days a week.  

To make room for the bigger grid, starting Monday, Sept. 3 we are dropping the horoscope and moving the bridge column to the weather page. We also are dropping five comics and two puzzles: Judge Parker, Pajama Diaries, Cow & Boy, One Big Happy, Flying McCoys, Scrabblegrams and Wordwarp. I will miss some of those features, and I know you will, too. But we’re trying to concentrate our resources on the things you tell us are important.

We have conducted readership surveys and talked to many customers to find out what you think is essential in The Chronicle. Every time we do this the overwhelming choice is local news.  

That is our franchise. Covering our community is what we do better than any other institution or business. That was driven home to me by the overwhelming success of our two most recent products: Your Business and North Augusta Today. Both take an extremely local look at a segment of our community.  

That doesn’t mean everything we do will focus on a small segment of our area, because the newspaper is still the most effective way to pull a larger community together. We still reach more people in our market than any other business or institution. We will look at everything we do in terms of how it helps the people in our area live their lives. 

We have succeeded in the past by trying to be all things to all people. I call it the cafeteria approach. We offered a wide variety of coverage topics, hoping to pick up a few readers with each item. As the cost of publishing a newspaper keeps going up, that approach becomes less effective. So we will try to find those areas that are essential to your lives and focus on those. 

We will continue to look at new ways of presenting and covering the news. We do all this to protect our core mission: covering local news that is of vital interest to you. We will continue to be there to tell the stories that affect your lives, to tell you about the interesting and inspiring people in our community and to tell you when scoundrels violate the public trust and are doing things that could harm you. 

The most important part of the equation that is a newspaper is the readers. Without you we are merely writing stories to amuse ourselves. So let us know what’s important to you. If you have a good story to tell, call me or one of the editors or reporters. As your hometown newspaper we want to be an essential part of your lives. 

If you want to discuss this or comment on the changes you can write me, call me, send email, or post a comment here.  

Three veteran writers join our team

Our Masters staff grew by three more reporters today with the arrival of Tim Guidera of the Savannah Morning News, Gary Smits of the Florida Times-Union and John Kaltefleiter of the Athens Banner Herald. They will write for their own papers and The Augusta Chronicle, and our website.

All three have covered the Masters before, so they add even more experience to our staff.

There will be several player interviews today, but the most anticipated event is a press conference by Arnold Palmer this afternoon. Many are speculating he will announce he will become an honorary starter this year, pleasing both fans and Augusta National officials.

Masters Week starts slowly

The first three days of Masters Week can be tricky because there seldom is any news. The golfers are getting ready for the start of the tournament Thursday, and if they’re hitting the ball well they don’t have much to say.

But sports editor John Boyette and his staff always find interesting things to write about. They meet in the press building every morning to plan the day, and at Monday’s meeting ideas were flying back and forth. There are good stories lined up for all week.

Watching some of the practice rounds I met several people who said they enjoyed reading The Chronicle. Two men from Louisville, Ky., said they learned a lot from the paper, but they especially appreciated directions on how to get to the golf course. Two men from New Orleans said this week reminded them of Mardi Gras, except Augusta is a little more orderly.

Walking the course I was reminded how knowledgeable Augusta galleries are. At every hole I could hear people telling their friends about the golfers or about key shots hit at a particular hole. That’s one of the things that makes the Masters so special. You can find a place on every hole that brings to mind a particular shot that won or lost a tournament.

I followed Larry Mize for a few holes, and I thought about the spectacular shot he hit at No. 11 to win in 1987. When he finished Monday he stopped to pose for photos with several people who asked. He didn’t refuse anyone, smiling all the time. It reminded me of how gracious he was in 1988, when he wrote our first Masters diary, sharing with our readers what it was like to defend his title.

This year our diary is being written by Masters rookie Troy Matteson. Be sure to look for it every day.

Welcome to Masters week

Before I moved to Augusta a friend showed me a tiny patch of grass surrounded by a little fence in his back yard.

"That's from the Augusta National," he said with a hush in his voice. It was from a divot at a Masters Tournament that he had attended. He had grabbed the piece of turf, stuffed it in a bag and smuggled it home to Charlotte where he turned it into a living shrine.

When he asked if I would get him another piece of Augusta turf I tried to get away as fast as I could because I thought he had lost his mind. Now, as I approach my 20th Masters Tournament, I understand the obsession, if not my friend's actions.

The Masters is one of the best events in sports, arguably the best because of all its history and tradition. The week of the tournament is the best week of the year for the staff of The Augusta Chronicle. We work all year to get ready for this.

It starts with the Masters special section in today's newspaper and online at augusta.com. The 80 pages are packed with information about this year's competitors and the history of the tournament. The cover story about last year's winner, Phil Mickelson, runs for three pages, written by our award-winning columnist Scott Michaux.

Other highlights are an in-depth look at new Augusta National Chairman Billy Payne, a four-page pullout that takes you inside the Augusta National clubhouse, tips on how to shoot photos on the golf course and profile boxes of every golfer in the tournament.

Mr. Michaux and David Westin went to California in January to interview golfers and prepare for the tournament. Photographer Chris Thelen went to California to get the photo for the section cover and on pages 10 and 11 a stunning silhouette of Tiger Woods hitting a shot with the ocean in the background.

Then Mr. Michaux, Mr. Westin and photographer Rainier Ehrhardt spent two weeks in March in Florida, wrapping up our Masters preparations.

Everyone on the staff of The Chronicle works during Masters week. No vacations. Not that anyone would want to be off that week.

"It's the best week of the year, and the most fun," said sports editor John Boyette, who has been covering the tournament since 1986. Mr. Michaux has covered 10 Masters, and golf writer David Westin is closing in on 30 tournaments. He also has won many awards for his golf writing.

"My job is to keep our great coverage on track," said Mr. Boyette. "We've got a tradition of being the leader in Masters coverage."

That tradition is kept strong by keeping the things that work and introducing new coverage. In case the veterans are ever tempted to coast and merely repeat last year's work, we always have new people who look at the tournament with a fresh perspective.

Several years ago we pulled all of our daily coverage into section that wraps around the paper each day. That section starts Monday and runs through the Monday after the tournament.

News editor John Gogick, who has been working on Masters coverage since 1996, now works all year with Mr. Boyette to make sure our coverage and presentation is first rate. They carefully plan special pages in the Sunday section and throughout the week.

To top it all, we put everything on our website, updating the news throughout the day. We also put things online you can't find in the newspaper, such as interviews with the players, extra photos and slide shows. We also invite you to share your Masters photos on our Spotted site.

So on behalf of the dozens of newsroom people and the hundreds of others in other Chronicle departments working on Masters coverage this week, welcome to the best week of the year. If you want to keep up with how we cover the tournament, you can read the paper, read it online or read my blog at http://blogs.augusta.com. It's going to be a great week.
