In this photo taken Monday, Oct. 24, 2011, from the roof of the North Dakota state Capitol in Bismarck, N.D., a planned $52 million expansion of the nearby North Dakota Heritage Center, which is the state's premier museum, is taking shape. The project is being financed with $40 million in state funds and $12 million in donations, and North Dakota's state government budget surplus was plump enough that lawmakers decided to pay cash for the project, rather than issuing bonds. The building is to be finished in January 2013. (AP Photo/Dale Wetzel)
