Watch out for Yellowstone bears — they're hungry (AP)

Posted: 22 Aug 2010 03:02 PM PDT

FILE - In this June 7, 2005 file photo released by Yellowstone National Park a grizzly bear moves through the brush in the park in Wyoming. Yellowstone's grizzlies are going to be particularly hungry this fall, and that means more dangerous meetings with humans in a year that is already the area's deadliest on record. Scientists report that a favorite food of many bears, nuts from whitebark pine cones, is scarce. So as grizzlies look to put on some major pounds in preparation for the long winter ahead, scientists say, they will be looking for another source of protein — meat — and running into trouble along the way.

For Gulf tourism, problem is perception — not oil (AP)

FILE - In this July 4, 2010 file photo, an oil cleanup worker walks along the beach in Dauphin Island, Ala. In Alabama's Dauphin Island, known for its sugar sand beaches and bird sanctuaries, 90 percent fewer people booked summer rentals compared to last summer, said Mayor Jeff Collier. The story here is mirrored across the Gulf Coast. Beaches have been cleaned, the oil leak has been plugged and some cities never had oil wash ashore at all. Still, tourists stay away from what they fear are oil-coated coastlines — a perception officials say could take years to overcome and cost the region billions of dollars.
