WILMINGTON, N.C. -- A North Carolina lawmaker is gauging support for a bill to allow coastal towns to enforce smoking bans on beaches.
The StarNews of Wilmington reports that Republican Ted Davis of New Hanover County is assessing support before introducing a bill.
Ocean beaches are considered state property in North Carolina, but beach smoking bans were approved last year in Wrightsville Beach and Carolina Beach.
Wrightsville Beach town manager Tim Owens says the town owns a large portion of its beach. But there's a conflict in the law that says beaches that have been rebuilt with sand are under state control.
Mayor David Cignotti says the town wants to be able to enforce the smoking ban from the edge of beachfront private property to the low tide mark.

Turn your thermostat down, Dave. A new program in England looks at your energy use and then offers you suggestions on how to reduce it to save money (and emissions)
Using Artificial Intelligence (and a Little Scolding) to Reduce Energy Use Image:
By Andrew Price
Turn your thermostat down, Dave. A new program in England looks at your energy use and then offers you suggestions on how to reduce it to save money (and emissions).
Houses and other dwellings account for nearly a third of all the energy used in the United Kingdom (in the U.S. it's a bit lower). That takes a toll on the climate and on people's wallets. What's worse is that much of that energy is wasted because residents don't see an immediate connection between the thermostat, for example, and the utility bill.
Nigel Goddard, a professor at the University of Edinburgh's School of Informatics, is trying to solve that problem using cutting-edge techniques from a branch of artificial intelligence called "machine learning."
In the multi-year IDEAL project, launching in 2013, Goddard and his colleagues will outfit hundreds of British homes with relatively inexpensive sensors that monitor temperature, humidity, and light levels, as well as gas and electricity use, and wirelessly report their readings every minute. Using machine learning techniques, Goddard and his team will be able to analyze that noisy data to infer what people are actually doing--cooking or taking a shower, for example.
Then they'll use another cutting-edge technology--natural language synthesis--to generate automatic text messages that give people feedback about their energy use. A text message might read, "Last week you spent £10 on hot water for showers, if you reduced your average shower time from 15 minutes to 12 minutes you could save £100 per year." Over time, they can tweak the kinds of messages they send to make them as effective as possible.
How much energy will people end up saving with this kind of feedback? Goddard expects the results to vary based on a home's income level, among other factors, but says that "in the best groups I would estimate 20%, possibly a bit more--but its a wild guess."
The money saved with an energy reduction of 20% could pay for the roughly $800 sensor set within as little as two or three years. And that's what makes this project so interesting. If it works, it could scale quickly. "It could be offered by utilities or energy service companies, perhaps they install the kit for free and take a percentage of savings," says Goddard.

Mumbai, Feb. 11:
Mahindra Aerospace, which is developing the GA18, a twin turboprop, utility turboprop aircraft, is making major investments at its new 25,000 square metre manufacturing facility at Bangalore, which will start operations from April.
The facility will be used for manufacturing metal components, aircraft assemblies and aerostructures, according to Executive Director and global CEO Arvind Mehra.
We are working to emerge as a partner of choice for global aerospace and defence (A&D) majors. We can offer them design-to-build capabilities along with financial stability, said Mehra.
Mahindra Aerospace is the only Indian aircraft player with a portfolio of light aircraft for private-utility use, and has the GA8, GA10 and GA18 aircraft in addition to the CNM5.
The CNM5 is the first Indian plane jointly developed by CSIR-NAL, Bangalore-based and government-backed National Aerospace Laboratories, and Mahindra Aerospace. It is designed in India and built in Australia.
Mahindra also is involved in developing the GippsAero GA10 single turboprop, which is due to complete certification next year.
Mahindra Aerospace acquired Australias Gippsland Aeronautics in December 2009. The company is expanding in North America and Europe, where it recently appointed distributors for its GA8 Airvan.
On the heels of the GA8 Airvan's 2011 circumnavigation of the earth for charity, the company shot past another milestone: Australia's highest ever production volumes for a certified aircraft.
The GA8 Airvan is the mainstay of the companys utility aircraft portfolio.

The chief executive of Italian aerospace and defence firm Finmeccanica has been arrested on corruption charges.
Giuseppe Orsi has been under investigation for bribery and embezzlement for several months. He has always denied any wrongdoing.
Prosecutors allege he paid bribes to ensure the sale of 12 helicopters to the Indian government.
Finmeccanica shares slumped in Milan after initially being suspended.
They fell more than 9% to 4.236 euros.
In a statement, Finmeccanica expressed solidarity with Mr Orsi and said: "Finmeccanica confirms that management activity and the initiatives it has undertaken are continuing in an orderly fashion."
Italy's Prime Minister, Mario Monti, said in an interview with Italian television: "Magistrates will do their work. I'm sure they will do it thoroughly and in the best way possible."
He added: "There is a problem with the governance of Finmeccanica at the moment and we will face up to it."
Arrest warrants have been issued for two people living in Switzerland. The head of Finmeccanica's AgustaWestland business, Bruno Spagnolini, was also placed under house arrest.

BOULDER, Colo., Feb. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --The Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp., Operational Land Imager (OLI) successfully launched today aboard the Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM) from Vandenberg Air Force Base at10:02 a.m. PST, on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130108/LA39163LOGO)
The 2013 mission is the eighth in the Landsat program, providing the longest-running Earth-observing satellite data available with 40 years of observations. Managed by NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the first Landsat Earth-observing satellite lifted off on July 23, 1972, to provide a continuous picture of Earth from 400 miles above the ground.
The OLI instrument built by Ball will image the globe every 16 days to provide coverage each season of the year. Ball Aerospace has also provided the cryocooler for a second instrument aboard the satellite, the Thermal Infrared Sensor, built by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.
"By providing consistent and timely observations of Earth, NASA and the USGS maintain a critical history of our planet," said David L. Taylor, Ball Aerospace president & CEO. "Ball's sensor aboard the eighth Landsat mission will provide the key technology to continue those observations into a fifth decade."
OLI represents a significant advancement in Landsat sensor technology by employing a more reliable design to improve performance. OLI's 14-module detector array enables it to scan with an advanced pushbroom technique, rather than the previous sweeping method. The OLI instrument provides 15-meter (49ft) panchromatic and 30-meter (98 ft) multi-spectral spatial resolutions along a 185km (115 mi) wide swath allowing for the 16-day imaging operation. Radiometric performance from OLI and the TIRS instrument will be substantially better than any previous Landsat sensor flown.
A multitude of scientific, commercial and governmental users rely on Landsat for multispectral Earth observation data. OLI will capture images of nine spectral bands in the visible, near infrared and shortwave infrared, helping scientists understand the impact of land changes in our global landscape.
Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. supports critical missions for national agencies such as the Department of Defense, NASA, NOAA and other U.S. government and commercial entities. The company develops and manufactures spacecraft, advanced instruments and sensors, components, data exploitation systems and RF solutions for strategic, tactical and scientific applications.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Schiff Nutrition Group, Inc. and M&C Saatchi NY have launched a Valentines Day marketing campaign, Whose Heart Do You Love, for one of the leading and fastest-growing Krill Oil supplements in America, MegaRed. The innovative social media and sampling campaign, the first of its kind in the category, was timed to coincide with both Valentines Day and National Heart Health Month.
Jennifer Steeves-Kiss, Chief Marketing Officer of Schiff Nutrition said: Consumers really love the product once they try it, so sampling is an important part of getting the word out. Since Valentines Day is about celebrating who you love, we wanted to use that insight to turn the sampling model on its head and expand the reach of our effort.
Through a custom Facebook application, MegaRed allows consumers to request a free product sample for their loved ones. As a bonus, the person requesting a sample on behalf of a friend also receives a free sample for themselves.
As part of the effort, Schiff is making a $100,000 donation to the National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease (www.womenheart.org). This component, noted Steeves-Kiss, is meant to galvanize consumer participation around a worthy cause. It should be noted that according to a recent study by Latitude Research, 84% of people say they share online to support a cause.
Pierre Lipton, Chief Creative Officer of M&C Saatchi NY, said that given the sampling effort is social in nature, so is the promotion behind it. Theres virtually no paid media supporting the campaign. Instead, the brand is relying heavily on peer-to-peer distribution through Facebook and an influencer component on Twitter where several celebrities are tweeting their support for the effort. Among those are Jennie Garth, Toni Braxton and Joy Bauer, all of whom have a personal interest in supporting heart health. Blogger outreach is also being used to support the effort.
The campaign is further supported by a playful, one-minute animated video tied to the idea that no matter whose heart you love, keep that heart healthy this Valentines Day with MegaRed Omega-3 Krill Oil. Lipton added: We thought there was something kind and sweet about the notion that love, like people, comes in many forms. And that regardless of who you care for, doing something that could keep them healthy is actually pretty romantic. M&C Saatchi partnered with the Los Angeles based animation company Stardust on the video, which will primarily live on MegaReds YouTube and Facebook channels.
M&C Saatchi NY CEO Jeff Brooks said: Schiffs challenge to develop an idea that would drive trial through earned media was incredibly appealing. Doing more with less is the new reality for marketers, despite many brands remaining skeptical about how to use social media to drive commerce.
While social platforms are still primarily about community engagement, the explosion of commerce-supported experiences such as Pinterest, Svpply and Etsy suggests that social shopping is the new frontier. There is a growing trend around social commerce with Facebook driving over 25% of referral traffic to business websites, and Gartner Research suggesting that by 2015 we can expect 50% of web sales to occur through social media. Furthermore, Valentines Day is one of the most social times of year both offline and online. According to the National Retail Federation, last year 141 million cards were exchanged, making it the 2nd largest holiday for greeting cards; and 66% of women and 44% of men talked about Valentines Day on social networks.
