...that, says Steven Smith, manager of the state's Save the Tasmanian Devil program, may require the funds and facilities of a massive international breeding program, the first for an Australian species. Keeping devils is costly, as adults must be held in large individual enclosures to prevent fighting. Extra money is coming - $10 million from the federal government over the next five years - but more is needed, says Belov: "I don't think there's enough urgency attached to this." She has 600 tissue samples she can't afford to analyze and relies on volunteers and students for lab work...

But the extra money will be difficult to collect, as states' revenues and the economy continue to shrink. Nearly 30 states are already forecasting budget shortfalls for the coming year exceeding $39 billion. "Most states at this point simply can't afford to give any additional people health care," Fairbrother says...
...Allard said. “All in all, I think it was a solid year. It took everything out of us to get to the championship game this year. It took a ton of effort, a ton of hard work because we just had to battle extra things this year...It’s a tribute to their work all year to end their season with the Ivy Championships.
