In addition, we have made soundsound financial and strategic decisions as well as demonstratingdemonstrating the ability to access traditional as well as more resourceful capitalcapital. Take for instance our decision during the previous fourfour years to dispose of seventeen assets (not including outparcel sales) which we considered incongruous to our dominant town center objectiveobjective. Regardless of short term dilution, this action has proved more than prudent allowing us to devote our time and money to those assets most able to benefit from focused adaptive reuse. Our progress to date illustrates we’ve made the right choices. Notwithstanding, there continues to exist skepticism as it relates to the necessary capital required to accomplish this adaptive reuse mandate. The reset of the dividend is intended to alleviate any such doubt whatsoeverwhatsoever. As opposed to acting out of weakness, the Board proactively made this decision at our earliest available opportunity. Our fiduciary responsibility is to allocate capital accordinglyaccordingly and this decision to enhance our liquidity was only logical.
