Barry strengthens in Atlantic near Florida foreshadowing shuttle launch
Tropical Storm Barry gathers strength about 240 miles east of Florida with winds near 55 mph as it tracks north-northwest. Forecasters say the center lies east of Melbourne and the storm could threaten the coast later, though not likely to return to south Florida. Officials note uncertain track and warn of potential damage and evacuation planning lessons for Keys and Miami area as Cape Canaveral prepares for the Challenger launch.

EPA final rule requires chemical makers to keep complaints files
The Cosden refinery mainly produces gasoline and fuel, curbing most petrochemical operations. The final rule, effective November, is looser than an earlier 1980 proposal that would have covered distributors and retailers. Firms must make complaint files available to the EPA if requested, with costs estimated at 15 million dollars to set up and 2.1 million annually to maintain. The rule marks the first central complaint repository, enabling workers and consumers to learn about health hazards, amid industry opposition citing expense and dubious utility.
