As Adobe continues to refocus on developing products and solutions that provide our customers with the most value, we are now announcing the end of new feature development for Adobe Muse CC.
On March 26, 2018 we will release the final feature improvement release of Adobe Muse. We will continue to offer technical support to all active Creative Cloud customers until March 26, 2020.
Adobe is committed to delivering exceptional software and services to our customers. It is in our nature to innovate and try new things, and it was in this spirit that we started developing Adobe Muse eight years ago. While we've been deeply committed to the Adobe Muse vision, we've come to recognize trends in website creation that have led us to evolve our strategy:
- Designers that are actively engaged in creating complex websites and applications are investing in UX design and prototyping skills while partnering with development teams to bring their designs to life.
- For simpler websites, we've seen the emergence of Do-It-Yourself (DIY) website creators that use customizable templates to quickly create responsive websites that can be easily modified by the designer or a client.
We thank our users and want to help them make a smooth transition to other Adobe offerings that can solve their specific needs:
- If you are building complex websites and applications, you can now use Adobe XD. Although XD does not generate web-ready code as Adobe Muse did, XD is an all-in-one solution that allows users to design, prototype, and collaborate with stakeholders and developers to bring their websites to life. For more information, see Adobe XD.
- If you are building a website to showcase your creative work, you can use Adobe Portfolio to create beautiful portfolio websites that can also be connected to the Behance platform. For more information, see Adobe Portfolio.
- If you are building one-page websites, such as photo stories, newsletters, or landing pages, you can use Adobe Spark Page to create beautiful responsive web pages with your own unique brand. For more information, see Adobe Spark.
Does the end-of-service affect all the users?
When will this take effect?
Can the users of Adobe Muse continue to use the software and also download it again?
Yes, the licensed users of Adobe Muse can continue to use the software. You can also download the licensed version of Adobe Muse from Adobe Muse Get Started.
I know you're no longer developing Adobe Muse, but will the program stop working on March 26, 2020 when support ends?
No, the Adobe Muse application will continue to open on your computer. You will be able to continue to edit existing or create new websites with the application. However, it is quite possible that web standards and browsers will continue to change after Adobe stops support for the application. After March 26, 2020 Adobe will no longer deliver compatibility updates with the Mac and Windows OS, or fix any bugs that might crop up when publishing Adobe Muse sites to the web.
What kind of help and support resources can I rely on going forward?
The Adobe Muse Microsite will continue to be available to users until support ends on March 26, 2020. Although no new content will be added to the Events, Tutorials, or Site of the Day pages, the Adobe Muse Widget Directory will continue to be updated with current widget availability during this timeframe.
For technical assistance, you can continue to reach out to the Adobe Muse team until the end of support date by way of Customer Care, the public Adobe Muse forum, and social media channels like Facebook and Twitter.
What happens to my existing Adobe Muse-built website? Will the site disappear?
Websites built with Adobe Muse will continue to be live on the internet if the sites are hosted on any third-party hosting platform such as GoDaddy or Bluehost (for example). Sites hosted on Business Catalyst will have to be republished to another hosting platform to remain live after March 26, 2021, when Business Catalyst hosting is no longer available. For more details, see the Business Catalyst announcement page.
I have licensed/downloaded Muse widgets from one of your widget partners. Will my widgets continue to work after Adobe stops support for Adobe Muse?

We found this great recipe online at www.verybestbaking.com
Hope you like it!
Pots of Dulce de Leche Pumpkin Cream Pie
Written by Jenny -
One of the top recipes from this summer's pie contest that really peaked my interest (and taste buds too) was Maggie Moran's Pots of Dulce de Leche Pumpkin Cream Pie! Summer seems so long ago now that Thanksgiving is on our minds but I do have to tell you this was a hit in our kitchen. We loved that this cream pie was portioned into individual servings, Maggie's idea of serving in half-pint canning jars and of course, its taste.
This recipe is a snap to put together. The hardest part of it is waiting for them to chill but we won't hold it against you if sneak a taste! As your spoon dips in, you will taste the whipped topping, creamy filling, yummy dulce de leche and then the graham cracker crust. Perhaps all of these will end up on your spoon at one time!
We thank you Maggie for your recipe inspiration. We look forward to making it throughout the year.
Pots of Dulce de Leche Pumpkin Cream Pie
Ingredients for 10 servings:
• 1 sleeve graham crackers, finely crushed (1 1/4 cups)
• 5 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 can (15 ounces) LIBBY'S® 100% Pure Pumpkin
• 1 can (12 fluid ounces) NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Evaporated Lowfat 2% Milk, chilled
• 1 box (3.4 ounces) vanilla instant pudding and pie filling mix
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice plus additional for dusting
• 1 tub (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed and divided
• 1 can (13.4 ounces) NESTLÉ® LA LECHERA® Dulce de Leche
For Crust:
Combine graham crackers and butter in small bowl. Spoon about 2 measuring tablespoons into each of ten half-pint canning jars, custard cups and/or ramekins.
Pat crust down with back or side of measuring spoon.
For Filling:
Combine pumpkin, evaporated milk, pudding mix and pumpkin pie spice in large mixer bowl; beat for 1 minute or until blended.
Fold in 2 cups of whipped topping.
To Assemble:
Warm dulce de leche in microwave-safe bowl on HIGH (100%) power for 15 to 20 seconds to soften; stir well. Spoon dulce de leche on top of each crust. Spoon in about 1/2 cup pumpkin filling.
Top with a dollop of remaining whipped topping and a dusting of pumpkin pie spice. Keep refrigerated at least 2 hours before serving.

The Seattle Seahawks brought in the NFL's best available pass-rushers for a tryout to fill injured defensive end Chris Clemons' shoes. And Patrick Chukwurah beat them all out.
a path to championship weekend for each surviving playoff team. More ...
A source with knowledge of the Seahawks' plans said Tuesday the team will sign the pass-rusher and special-teamer, who will be available to play in Sunday's NFC Divisional Playoff Game against the Atlanta Falcons. Chukwurah will fill the roster spot left open by Clemons, who has a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
Chukwurah, who most recently led the United Football League in sacks two years in a row, beat out Aaron Maybin, Ray Edwards and Travis LaBoy in a tryout. Chukwurah last played in the NFL in December 2008 for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Chukwurah's best season came in 2006, when he had 4.5 sacks for the Denver Broncos. The 6-foot-1, 250-pounder held out hope that he'd still play in the NFL, despite working as a personal trainer and being out of the league for years. Now, he's back.

April 1, 2006
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - MIT (9-2) baseball continued the best start in the history of its program on Saturday, returning from a successful spring trip to sweep non-conference rival Elms College. The Engineers hammered out 13 hits en route to a 9-7 win in game one, while senior Wayne Duggan allowed only one earned run while hurling a complete game in Tech's 6-2 victory in game two.
After two quick innings, the Blazers (3-11) struck first in the opening tilt as senior Kevin Furey cleared the bases with a three-run double. Despite falling behind, the Engineers answered back in the next frame to knot the score at three. Freshman Thomas Phillips lined an RBI single to the left side for one of the markers, while Tech picked up two more unearned runs to erase the deficit.
MIT's bats continued to heat up in the next inning as the Cardinal and Gray attempted to pull away with four runs on five hits. Warren Bates sparked the attack with a run-producing single before Kyle Zeller brought home Bates with an RBI double. Phillips followed Zeller's knock with a two-run double of his own as the Engineers' stretched their lead to 7-3.
Trailing 8-3 in the sixth, sophomore Nathan Hawes connected on a two-run bomb to slash into the advantage, while Joe Sawa capped a four-run frame with a single up the middle. David Nole added an insurance run for MIT in the seventh with an RBI single while sophomore Joe Yurko faced six batters in recording his first save of the season. Freshman Matt Loper (3-0) earned the win for the Engineers and Ted Roback (1-2) shouldered the loss.
Jason Witzberger walked to lead-off the bottom of the first in game two. After stealing second, Witzberger put MIT on the board by scoring on Bates' run-producing single. Zeller added two more for MIT with a two-run homerun in the third as the Engineers' built up a 3-0 lead.
Duggan enjoyed great command on the hill, surrendering his first hit of the game with one out in the fifth. The Blazers scored a run during the stanza, although the run was unearned.
The Engineers posted two more runs in the sixth with a two-out rally that was ignited by Witzberger's second walk of the game and fueled by Bates' two-run double. Although Witzberger reached base and scored twice in the second game, his 10-game hitting streak to open the campaign came to an end.
Duggan picked up his second win in as many decisions, while RJ Vassallie (1-2) endured the loss for Elms. Zeller enjoyed a monster day at the plate, going 5-for-6 with four runs and three runs batted in. Phillips finished 4-for-6 with four RBI, while Bates also picked up four RBI on three hits.

1000-level courses
1000 Introduction to Archaeology and Bioarchaeology is a broad overview of Archaeology and Bioarchaeology introducing the concepts of human biological and cultural evolution and the methods and techniques by which these are investigated. The course is designed to provide the basis for further study in the disciplines.
2000-level courses
2430 Principles of Bioarchaeology investigates the human animal as we exist now and as we developed through time. Students will discover how the study of fossil remains, living and extinct primates, and the applications of the principles of genetics, adaptation and variation of human evolution help to provide an understanding of how biology and culture have interacted to produce modern humans.
2450 Principles of Archaeological Science introduces the student to a broad range of scientific approaches used in archaeology. The course provides an overview of the historical development of archaeological science and a survey of the current techniques used to investigate materials recovered from archaeological contexts, including biomolecular methods, paleoethnobotany, zooarchaeology, geoarchaeology, dating techniques, remote sensing and conservation. Prerequisite: ARCH 1000
2480 Principles of Archaeology is an introduction to archaeological techniques, methodology and theory. Lectures cover the development of the discipline, techniques of survey and excavation, methods of analysis and the interpretation of prehistory. Prerequisite: ARCH 1000

Prerequisite: ARCH 2480
3584 Historical Anthropology (same as Anthropology 3584 and History 3535) will explore selected issues in historical anthropology, with special reference to the Mediterranean and North Atlantic worlds. Students will read specific case studies in order to explore the theoretical issues raised by the attempt to understand historically-documented past cultures. In order to give practical examples of methodology classes will analyse primary source material. Students will be introduced to the textual analysis of myth and legal records, to the interpretation of images and to the analysis of patterns in material culture. The course will consider specific current interpretive issues, particularly the rise of individualism, the consumer revolution and the cultural construction of gender. Prerequisite: ARCH 2582 , or any 2000-level History course.

Note: Credit may be obtained for only one of ARCH 3593 and former ARCH 3684.
3594 Archaeology of Sport surveys the rich global archaeological record of past sporting practices. While sports associated with Classical Mediterranean civilizations have been well-described by Classics scholars, archaeology hints at a much wider – indeed, cross-culturally universal - record of sports and athletic games. Archaeologists themselves have been slow to consider this evidence but an archaeology of sport is beginning to emerge as a vibrant subfield. Classes explore the full human record of sport, beginning with the emergence of a modern human body equipped for running and other forms of athleticism, and exploring the evidence – sporting equipment, competition venues, artistic depictions, skeletal traces and more - from diverse times and places.
Preresquisite: ARCH 1000 or permission from instructor
3650 Artifacts of Colonial North America provides students with practical experience in the analytical methods used to identify, date and interpret the different types of artifacts encountered on seventeenth- and eighteenth-century archaeological sites in Colonial North America.

El Reg lingo giving you gyp? Do tell...
It's come to our attention (again) that some of our Stateside cousins continue to struggle with El Reg's flavour of the Beloved Mother Tongue™.
We have, of course, in the past published a couple of brief guides to those terms which prove The Register is a fertile breeding ground for neologisms, as well as a treasure house for obscure, and often archaic, Brit lingo.
Indeed, some time back we promised to knock together a rather more comprehensive guide detailing punters, strumpets, geezers, boffins and chavs who might be enjoying a quick twatdangle - something which generally goes titsup - so that world+dog might better follow our world-class IT coverage.
So, if there's anything which caught your eye which you reckon might benefit from a bit of clarification for future generations of readers, stick it in a comment to this piece and we'll add it to the list. Watch this space, me old china plates. ®

Beyond Christchurch
In 2010 and 2011, Christchurch, NZ was rocked by earthquakes. Neerav Bhatt travelled across the Tasman to explore beyond the city.
1 / 10
Earthquakes cause headlines. Newspapers, 24 Hour TV news, internet and radio journalists from around the world flocked to Christchurch to cover the story of injured people, damaged buildings and lost lives.
They left just as quickly but the images stayed in people's minds. Incoming tourist numbers to Christchurch have declined because of the perception that the whole city is shut even though only 10% was severely damaged and Christchurch Airport has been fully operational.
One of the brilliant aspects of NZ's South Island is that you can land in Christchurch and use it as a base for road trips to the ocean, forests, mountains and glacial lakes without having to travel too far.
Here's some suggestions on what to see and do.
The lovely French-influenced seaside village of Akaroa is only 90 minutes drive from Christchurch via the scenic route past the Sign of The Kiwi lookout at Dyers Pass.
If the sea is calm, try Akaroa Harbour Nature Cruises where you can swim with the Hector's Dolphin, the world's smallest oceanic dolphin. Interested in art and sculpture? Then visit the quirky, award winning Giants House, whose garden reminded me of the animated movie Coraline.
The best travel experiences are often those where you get to see the sights and chat with a local so next time I visit I'll definitely hop on the Akaroa Eastern Bays Scenic Mail Run travelling with their local postie van.
Heading West
Travellers heading to glacier country on the West Coast can stop halfway at YHA Arthurs Pass for access to great tramping tracks and several skifields nearby. There's a good chance of seeing a Kea, NZ's cheeky mountain parrot in the area.
Keen skiers should pause and think before driving straight down to Queenstown and considering staying at Methven YHA instead, 90 minutes from Christchurch.
It's true that Queenstown is the skiing/party capital of New Zealand but serious skiers are more likely to head to Mount Hutt via Methven due to its light dry powder, variety of terrain, long season and reliable snow coverage.
If you need a break from the grind of your work routine take advantage of South Island's underappreciated duo of Lake Tekapo and Mount Cook, halfway between Christchurch and Queenstown.
The restorative effects of sitting in the YHA Lake Tekapo common room watching the glacial lake change shades of blue and doing walks around the towering mountains looming over YHA Mount Cook totally recharged my batteries.
It comes down to this: New Zealand's South Island has always been a great place to travel to, which is why I've been there four times. After the Christchurch earthquakes there are even more reasons to visit, you'll feel really appreciated if you do.

YHA Lake Tekapo
Now Open! This brand new state-of-the-art hostel is Tekapo's newest accommodation option, right on the lakefront. Private and multishare rooms available, communal kitchen and lounges plus adjoining cafe.

The day before Election Day, Badger Democracy reported on the train maker Talgo filing a lawsuit against Governor Scott Walker, DOT Secretary Mark Gottlieb, and the state for "default of contract." In brief:
Train manufacturer Talgo filed a "Default of Contract" suit against Governor Scott Walker and Wisconsin DOT Secretary Mark Gottlieb in Dane County Circuit Court today. Court documents filed today show that the Washington-based train manufacturer notified the state on April 4, 2012 that the "trainsets" were ready for required service testing to be conducted by WisDOT.
The state has attempted to claim that Talgo is responsible for testing, but the contract makes clear that WisDOT bears that responsibility.
The trainsets in question were not ordered for the controversial rail expansion to Madison. These trains are for use on the highly traveled Milwaukee to Chicago "Hiawatha" line. Coming on the heels of the WEDC/HUD block grant fiasco, DOT Secretary Gottlieb quickly issued a statement on November 5 to Badger Democracy, in full damage control mode:
"The Department of Transportation participated in a formal mediation process with Talgo just last week in a good faith effort to resolve disputes related to the delivery of completed trainsets. We are disappointed that process was not successful.Talgo has failed to complete or test the trainsets and they do not meet even basic federal standards, such as those required under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).The department will defend against this action and continue to act in the best interests of Wisconsin taxpayers." (emphasis added)
All parties acknowledge and accept that 49 CFR 238.111 provides that the Operator (or railroad, as the case may be) not the Contractor is responsible for performing a pre-revenue service acceptance testing plan. Contractor will diligently work with Department and such Operator to ensure that the Operator's pre-revenue service acceptance testing plan is efficiently implemented.
The state purchased two passenger car train sets in 2009 from Talgo, a Spanish train manufacturer.
A total of $68.9 million in passenger rail development bonds has been approved for the purchase of the rail cars ($48.5 million), as well as other costs related to construction management, purchase of maintenance equipment, and a temporary maintenance facility.
The train sets are now nearing completion, and are scheduled to be delivered to the state for initial testing in mid-March. Following testing, the cars would be ready for use on the Milwaukee to Chicago service, likely in late 2012.
Under that agreement, the state is responsible for providing a facility for the maintenance and for making payments to Talgo for
ongoing maintenance costs. [In anticipation of the completion of the Talgo cars, 2011 Act 32 provided $4,450,000 SEG in 2011-12 and $6,700,000 SEG in 2012-13 in the Department's passenger rail service appropriation for start-up maintenance costs.]
According to the LFB memo, maintenance costs were an issue of significance. Alternative solutions were offered, including a renegotiation of the maintenance agreement:
1. Approve the Department's request for the approval of $2,500,000 in passenger rail development bonding for final design engineering for a permanent maintenance facility for the
State's passenger rail cars.
2. Deny the request.
3. Deny the request and direct the Department to reimburse any expenditures for the maintenance facility preliminary engineering that were made with bonds from the Department's SEG appropriation for passenger rail service, to the extent that unencumbered funds are available in that appropriation.
4. Deny the request for additional funding and direct the Department to attempt to renegotiate the maintenance agreement with Talgo to reduce ongoing maintenance costs and, if feasible, the cost of the permanent maintenance facility. Direct the Department, in any subsequent request for funding for maintenance-related services, to report to the Committee on
the status of these negotiations.
Walker, Vos, and Darling all knew exactly what this contract entailed. They wanted to kill any new rail development as payback to their transportation construction political cronies, so they did nothing – even though it would cost taxpayers millions above and beyond the cost of honoring the contract. Vos and Darling were very vocal about how they were "saving taxpayers money" in a May 2012 edition of the Conservative-Digest.
Unfortunately, they failed to tell the whole story about the Talgo contract, and the specific issues surrounding the inevitable trainset replacement costs. You can read the entire LFB memo linked above. The LFB estimates do not include extra costs associated with continuing to use Amtrak maintenance – so the Vos/Darling article is conveniently leaving out key details. The last few lines of their joint article are the most important:
Luckily, the state has options. According to
the Legislative Fiscal Bureau, if no funds were
given for the Talgo maintenance facility, the
"agreement can be terminated by either party."
So that's where we are now.
Wisconsin taxpayers were taken for a ride by
Doyle and the Democrats. We're proud to say
that the ride is coming to an end.
Not quite Governor Walker, Representative Vos, and Senator Darling. When Talgo wins this lawsuit, Wisconsin taxpayers will be the ones paying back the $50 million in revenue to replace the bond issue – as you will have lost the capital purchased by those bonds.
And the trains – they will still have to be replaced in just a few short years anyway. In essence, we will end up paying for them twice. Though, after defaulting on the Talgo contract, will anyone do business with Wisconsin? Maybe we'll be able to ride Chinese trains from Milwaukee to Chicago.
Lost loans at WEDC, federal block grant money distributed without authority, contract breaches, lost capital from bond issue, former aides convicted…
This is acting "…in the best interests of the taxpayers of Wisconsin…?"

One of my all time favorite projects is my DIY Wingback Rocker.
One year later it's holding up like a champion of all chairs! In fact, I'm writing this post sitting in this chair right now. I've spent hundreds of hours rocking precious Evelyn Faye in this chair.
What I didn't expect was how many people would follow my tutorial and make their own. Some have blogs, and some don't. But the emails have poured in of your beautiful rockers, and I'm going to show them off!
This nursery is from a reader named Daniel.
This is Chelsie's nursery.
This rocker comes from nursery at The Shaker House. They used a different chair than the Strandmon, and I think it looks awesome in the Marine Corps inspired room.
This rocker is from the outdoorsy nursery for Fletcher at 100layercakelet
This rocker is in the Modern Marine nursery at Newlyweds North.
And this last rocker is in the feminine travelesque nursery at Explore Dream Discover.
I love that even though these nurseries all have different themes and styles (I hope you clicked the links to check out the full rooms!!!) the rockers all fit in their element perfectly.
(If you pin these images, please click through and pin from the actual source. Thanks!)

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Joe Battista, longtime Penn State Intercollegiate Athletics employee and associate athletic director for Pegula Ice Arena and Hockey Development, has announced that he will leave Penn State Athletics, effective Nov. 8. Battista will begin his new role with Pegula's East Management Services as its vice president of hockey related businesses Nov. 11.
"Joe Battista has been an integral part of the Penn State community for more than 30 years as a student and employee, and I thank him for his loyal service to the University and Intercollegiate Athletics," said Dave Joyner, director of athletics. "Joe's vision, passion and tireless efforts toward bringing NCAA Division I hockey to Penn State were unmatched and it's fitting that he was able to see both the men's and women's hockey programs play at Pegula Ice Arena. We wish him and his family all the best in the future."
A 1983 graduate of Penn State's Smeal College of Business, Battista served the University in a variety of capacities during his 27-year tenure. He returned to Penn State in 1987, beginning a 19-year journey as head coach of the University's American Collegiate Hockey Association Division I club team. With the Icers, Battista captured six ACHA national titles and won more than 500 games as head coach.
Following the 2005-06 season, the Pittsburgh native left the bench to become the Nittany Lion Club's executive director (2006-09). Battista then joined the Smeal College of Business as its director of major gifts from 2009-10.
In September 2010, Battista assumed the role as an associate athletic director after helping facilitate the largest gift in University history – an initial $88 million donation that was instrumental in funding Pegula Ice Arena and NCAA Division I hockey – from Penn State alumnus Terry Pegula and his wife, Kim.
Statement from Joe Battista:
It is with mixed emotions that after more than 26 years my career at Penn State is coming to a close. I will be retiring from the University effective Nov. 8. It has been the greatest honor to represent my alma mater as a Lion Ambassador, student-athlete, hockey coach, athletic facilities manager, fundraiser and athletics administrator.
Starting as a freshman hockey player in 1978, my 35 year journey has culminated with the building of the new ice arena and the launching of two varsity hockey programs. They will provide year round entertainment and activity and serve the University Community and the commonwealth for decades, and be an economic engine for local business and for Penn State.
While this dream has come true, it is now time for me to set new goals and dream new dreams.

Botanical Interests "Purple Petra" Organic Basil Seeds
Annual. Purple Petra basil has a mild sweet taste that is nice for those of us that love basil's flavor, but shy away from too much herbal spiciness. Its large shiny leaves are dark reddish-purple and grow vigorously to a height of 24". Its excellent sweet taste goes well in a variety of Italian dishes, pesto, pasta, and salads. You can grow it as a companion plant for your tomatoes or in other areas of the garden as an ornamental. In a warm, south-facing window, you can even grow it inside during winter! (Harvest leaves often to keep these 18į°?-24į°? plants compact and encourage new leaf production.) Used as a backdrop in the flowerbed, Purple Petra's dark reddish-purple leaves will make yellow and apple green colors stand out. Try pairing it with Marigold Dwarf Lemon Drop , Bells of Ireland or Zinnia Envy
for an eye-popping combination. This packet plants two 10-foot rows.
When to plant outside: Spring, 1-3 weeks after average last frost date and when soils are warm.
When to start inside: 6-8 weeks before transplanting outside.
Special Germination Instructions: Easy to grow from seed. Must have warm soil temperatures. Wait to plant until nighttime temperatures are above 50 degrees.
Sucessive Plantings Recommended. Every 3 or 4 weeks after initial planting.
Harvesting Basil leaves should be harvested before the plant flowers. The young, top leaves taste the best and should be used fresh. The older leaves may be used for vinegar and pesto. To harvest most of the plant, cut the main stem, leaving at least 3 pairs of leaves near the ground į°? plant will regrow and produce additional leaves. (You can prolong the harvest period by pinching off flower buds to maintain flavor.) If there is any chance of temperatures dropping to 32 degrees, harvest crop immediately. The best time to harvest any herb is in the
morning, after the dew dries, but before it gets too warm. Alternatively, you could harvest in the early evening.

Paris, France, 29 June, 2011. Four outstanding natural sites in Kenya, Jordan, Australia and Japan were given World Heritage status following the advice of IUCN to the World Heritage Committee, which closes today in Paris. An extension to an existing World Heritage Site in Ukraine and Slovakia was also granted to the Ancient Beech Forests in Germany.
Following IUCN's recommendations, two natural sites in Indonesia and Honduras were added to the list of World Heritage in Danger.
"This move mobilises international support for the planet's extraordinary places that are facing serious threats to their conservation," says Tim Badman, Director of IUCN's World Heritage Programme. "International efforts are essential to secure the future of our planet's remarkable natural reserves and the life-support services they provide."
Last week Manas Wildlife Sanctuary in India was removed from the Danger List following the advice of IUCN. This was a result of successful conservation action on the ground and hard work by the government and the local community over the past nine years.
During the UNESCO meeting IUCN raised its concern over the rapidly increasing number of World Heritage Sites threatened by planned mining and oil and gas projects. One out of four iconic natural areas in Africa is negatively affected by such developments.
"Fortunately, these projects are still at the planning stage, which means that governments, mining and oil/gas companies and financial backers have a window of opportunity to make the right decisions soon," says Mariam Kenza Ali, IUCN's World Heritage Conservation Officer. "By committing to preserving these outstanding sites they are also safeguarding the livelihoods of local people."
As the number of natural and cultural wonders on the World Heritage List continues to grow, so do the challenges to keep the high standards of the World Heritage Convention. With this year's new additions, the List now numbers 936 sites of which 183 are natural, 28 are mixed and 725 are cultural.
"As the World Heritage Conventions reaches its 40th birthday in 2012, the concern remains that by adding more and more places to the List, the challenge to keep a focus for the Convention to support the conservation of the listed World Heritage Sites also continues to grow", says Badman.

Alaska Native Brotherhood, Sitka Camp No. 1, a National Historic Landmark, is the original local chapter of this pan-Alaska native organization that, for most of the first half of the 20th century, was the only such group representing Alaska's natives. Built in 1914, the Sitka ANB Hall is the headquarters of this camp and its counterpart in the Alaska Native Sisterhood. Founded in 1912, apparently an outgrowth by efforts by Tlingits to fight discrimination by restaurants and movie houses, the Brotherhood is a federation of local camps. Although there are now scores of these, the Sitka group is distinguished by its role as the first local camp and by the fact that Sitka's large native population for a long time made it one of the parent organization's most powerful elements.
During its lifetime, the Alaska Native Brotherhood/Sisterhood has been instrumental in gaining full citizenship for Alaska's natives (by supporting such legislation as extension of the Indian Reorganization Act to Alaska) and in curbing discrimination. More recently, the group has been an important force in preserving native heritage through support of projects such as "Alaska Totems; a heritage in peril," restoration of Chief Shakes Community House, and passage of the Alaska Historic Preservation Act. The Hall at Sitka continues to serve the native community, as camp headquarters, in which many social events and ceremonies such as funerals are held, and as offices for administrators of the Indian Education Act and Alaska Legal Services. Owned by Camp No. 1, the building is open to visitors when these offices are open, as well as during the many cultural activities occurring there. The Alaska Native Brotherhood/Sisterhood Hall of Local Camp No.1, Sitka, sits facing the waters of Sitka harbor. The building is in the area to which the Sitka Tlingits returned some 20 years after being defeated by the Russians at the 1804 battle of Indian River. They have occupied the area since that time. Approximately 40 x 60 feet, this building is of wood frame construction. It is rectangular in shape, consisting, from external appearance, of two stories and an attic.
Before the Europeans came to Alaska in the form of Russian explorers and traders, Aleuts, Eskimos, and Indians occupied much of the area that was later called Russian America. Relations between promyshlenniki (Russian or Siberian hunters who came to exploit Alaska's fur resources) and the natives were often stormy, although as early as March of 1766, Russian Empress Catherine the Great enjoined her subjects to "be good to their new fellows, the inhabitants of the islands [the Aleutians], refraining from the slightest oppression or deceit." Later all Russians in Alaska, including dependent tribes, were declared Russian subjects. When Russia sold Alaska to the United States, Article 3 of the Treaty of Cession of March 30, 1867 promised "all the rights, advantages and immunities of citizens of the United States" to those in Alaska, excepting "uncivilized tribes." Thus, those natives who were members of settled tribes and people of Russian-Alaskan Native heritage could claim the right of American citizenship. Unfortunately, citizens of the United States who settled in Alaska often brought with them their experiences on the western frontier, and prejudice against native Alaskans manifested itself, especially in southeastern Alaska. In 1912, 12 southeast Alaska native men and one woman met in Juneau at the offices of W.G. Beattly, Superintendent of the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Alaska--this meeting initiated the Alaska Native Brotherhood/Sisterhood. In the first years, the ANB/S achieved many victories in extending rights to Alaska's natives, including the right to Workmen's Compensation and the right of native children to attend public school. In 1929, ANB/S initiated the first native claims court suit, seed of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971, which awarded nearly a billion dollars and 40 million acres of public land to Alaska's natives. For further information on the Act, see our page highlighting the Campus Center from our 2003 American Indian Heritage Month feature.

That great, can-do attitude
You want to know where the technical, can-do spirit that once was the hallmark of post-World War II America has gone?
Try India, for one.
If you still have some stereotype in your mind about India as a backward land of impoverished people, set your mind on the heavens, because India has launched a mission to Mars.
The Mars probe will reach the Red Planet next September, and it will begin its observation work.
Now, while America currently has amazing robotic explorers working on the surface of Mars, the U.S. space program remains mired in budget battles. The people who cry that space is not important while poverty runs through the land have lost the space program's can-do 1960s spirit. Back then, there was a conviction that, for whatever political reason, the nation needed to beat the Soviet Union to the Moon, and Americans applauded as the world stood in awe on July 20, 1969, as Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped onto the lunar surface.
But soon after that, the exploration stopped. We had beaten the Soviets and apparently the cost of continuing in space from what we had achieved as a nation became too unattainable for those who think it's space or poverty with no middle ground.
Listening to the comments of the Indian scientists involved in the program – a program that went from scratch to mission in flight in 15 months – one gets a sense that it's the Indian people who have the can-do spirit now.
"These missions are important. These are things that give Indians happiness and bragging rights," said Raghu Kalra of the Amateur Astronomers Association Delhi. "Even a poor person, when he learns that my country is sending a mission to another planet, he will feel a sense of pride for his country, and he will want to make it a better place."
The government also speaks about the importance of providing Indians with high-tech jobs and engineering excellence and the development through spacefaring of practical solutions for problems on Earth.
We have a couple of probes up and astronauts regularly on the International Space Station.
But we congratulate India for capturing the can-do spirit and wonder what they'll be doing in space in a few more years.
