The contenders for 2024’s Fat Bear Week contest have been revealed, but only after a deadly bear-on-bear attack at Alaska's Katmai National Park and Preserve delayed the unveiling. In what's become a bona fide fall ritual, public voting in the annual Fat Bear contest is scheduled to start at noon ET Wednesday. The popular contest is observing its 10th anniversary this year – but comes with a stark reminder that the harsh laws of nature are always in play in the southern Alaskan wilderness at Katmai. People watching Monday might have gotten more than they bargained for when Bear No. 469, a male, approached, attacked and eventually killed Bear No. 402, a female that was almost as large, in the Brooks River.

Hurricane Helene is now the second-deadliest hurricane to strike the US mainland in the past 50 years. The deadliest – Hurricane Katrina in 2005 – killed at least 1,833 people. Helene’s death toll has risen to more than 160 across six states, according to CNN’s tally. The storm’s path of devastation started on Florida’s Gulf Coast as it traveled to the Big Bend. Helene then moved into Georgia as a Category 2 hurricane early Friday morning. Helene weakened into a tropical storm as it moved toward the Carolinas, but its wrath didn’t lessen.

Black-colored plastic used in children's toys, takeout containers, kitchen utensils and grocery meat and produce trays may contain alarming levels of toxic flame retardants that may be leaching from electronic products during recycling, a new study found. The most hazardous flame retardants the study found in consumer products are the same used in electronic enclosures on televisions and other electronics, said lead study author Megan Liu, science and policy manager for Toxic-Free Future, an environmental advocacy group. "It appears the plastics used to make the consumer products were contaminated with flame retardants due to mistakes in the recycling of electronic waste," she said. One consumer product, a black plastic sushi tray, contained 11,900 parts per million of the flame retardant decabromodiphenyl ether, or decaBDE for short. That chemical is a member of the polybrominated diphenyl ethers, or PBDE, class of flame retardants. People with the highest blood levels of PBDEs were approximately 300% more likely to die from cancer as people with the lowest levels, according to an April 2024 study.

Louisiana’s first-in-the-nation law listing the abortion medications mifepristone and misoprostol as “controlled dangerous substances” took effect Tuesday. Beyond abortion, the medicines are used for miscarriage management and, in misoprostol’s case, to stop dangerous bleeding after childbirth, physicians say. Now, in Louisiana, misoprostol is required to be stored in a locked box like other controlled substances, which doctors fear could delay treatment in emergency situations. “You want to be able to have it right there in the moment,” said Dr. Jennifer Avegno, an emergency physician and director of the New Orleans Health Department. “It adds several minutes to that process,” she said. “If you’ve ever watched someone bleed out after childbirth, as I have, you know that minutes can make a difference.” Tap the link in bio for more.
