Police advised the man a report would be filed for theft of services and disorderly conduct. |
No arrests were made, according to the incident report. |
•First-degree criminal mischief, Dave Ward Drive. |
Conway police arrested a man for public intoxication after observing the man have trouble walking down the sidewalk. |
Officers made contact with the 28-year-old Conway man around 9:55 p.m. in the 2100 block of Meadowlake Road. |
Police said the man stumbled when he walked, and attempted to use his arms for balance. |
"He eventually stumbled off the curb and fell into the eastbound traffic lane of Meadowlake [Road]," an officer noted in the police report. |
Upon contact with the man, police noted a smell of intoxicants coming from the man. Officers said they were unable to communicate with the man due to a language barrier. |
"However, [the man] understood he was breaking the law because when I approached him he placed his hands behind his back and started saying ‘sorry,’" an officer wrote in the police report. |
The man was taken into custody and transported to the Faulkner County jail. |
Only one player since 2000 has won the U.S. Open driving the ball shorter than the tour average for the season. Kaymer is longer than most -- he was 47th on tour in driving distance heading into the U.S. Open -- which, combined with his 89 percent driving accuracy percentage, puts him in a position to make lots of bird... |
Making birdies is important, but not making bogeys is even more crucial. Luckily for Kaymer, he's leading the field in both; he's made 11 birdies and just one bogey through 36 holes. |
Kaymer may be T-5 in greens in regulation, but that's including just 11 greens on Thursday. He managed only one bogey despite that because he missed in exactly the spots he wanted to -- he didn't have to hit a bunker shot all day. On Friday, the three times he missed the green were all in spots he wanted to, and he got... |
Curtis Strange said that the U.S. Open winner would probably face "50" par putts between three and 10 feet all week. That might be a slight exaggeration, but Kaymer is nevertheless making the tough putts when he's expected to. And that's a slight change from what he normally does; while he's 19th on tour for putts made... |
UNITED NATIONS, January 28 -- Algeria's terrorism complaint against Rachid Mesli, the human rights advocate who spoke for the non-governmental organization Arab Commission for Human Rights at the UN in Geneva last June, resulted on Wednesday in the group's suspension from the UN for one year. Click here for previous co... |
By a vote of 18 in favor and one abstaining, the group will also be required to turn over a list of all of its "members and associates" before it can be considered for reinstatement. We hope this sets an example, Algeria's representative said after the debate and vote, in the ECOSOC Committee on NGOs. But what sort of ... |
Mesli has been granted refugee status in Switzerland. He was accused of terrorism in 1999, in a trial criticized by Amnesty International. Most countries on the UN's Committee on NGOs said that a conviction in any member state is enough to establish guilt. While neither Algeria nor the UN's head staffer for the Committ... |
Egypt ultimately made the proposal that a list of all members and associates be provided. The U.S. said it did not oppose such forced disclosure, but wanted more evidence of Mesli's guilt. The US agreed that the Arab Commission for Human Rights should be sanctioned for allowing Rachid Mesli of the separate, unaccredite... |
The United Kingdom, which had initially expressed reservations, ultimately voted in favor of the punishment. After the vote, the UK's representative said it "seems heavy-handed." |
Guinea, on the other hand, in the run-up to the vote said that the punishment should be more harsh. India said that "the UN must respect each member state" and the verdicts its courts reach. One wondered if Pakistan clearer those charged with involvement in the recent Mumbai bombings, if India would respect such a verd... |
While the U.S. belatedly spoke of due process, it has in the past bounced groups from the UN over the objections of other states. A game of chicken took place on Wednesday morning, with the US Mission, now under Barack Obama, Hilary Clinton and Susan Rice, seeming not to want to stand alone in voting no, or even to cal... |
Footnote: Debate moved on to a Brazilian gay and lesbian group, which a number of states including Qatar implied is involved in pedophilia. The contrasts was marked, with the same states who opposed any delay in suspending Arab Commission on Human Rights asking for more and more information about the gay advocacy group... |
A US military plane has crashed into a mountain in an isolated, snow-covered area of Albania, exploding on impact with nine military personnel aboard. |
Albanian officials said the C-130 transport plane struck a mountain after apparently flying too low in an uninhabited region near the town of Gramsh, 150km south of the Albanian capital Tirana. |
"Nine Americans were on board the aircraft and they probably haven't survived," said Albanian defence ministry spokesman Agim Doci. |
The US embassy and Nato officials in Tirana would not comment on the crash. |
Rescue operations were hampered by snow which made access difficult. |
A US plane and Albanian helicopters were sent to the crash site but had problems landing. It would take up to four days to reach the area by foot. |
The plane had taken off from Tirana's Rinas military base and was to monitor the mountainous region in the south of the country. |
The Albanian news channel News 24 said Brindisi airport in southern Italy, which operates a Nato radar, picked up a distress signal from the stricken aircraft. |
The MBT Advanced Technology Demonstrator showcases upgrades for current tanks. |
The MBT Advanced Technology Demonstrator, seen in this new video, takes a widely available older tank design and upgrades it with a host of new tech. |
The tank in the video is an upgraded Leopard 2A4. (Ignore the annoying quick cuts at first—they go away after a while.) The -A4 was the most manufactured of the Leopard 2 series of tanks, with 2,570 built for Germany and the Netherlands between 1985 and 1992. After the Cold War ended, many A4s were sold off to other NA... |
In other words, there are a lot of A4s out there that could use upgrades— and upgrades are on NATO's mind, with the recent introduction of Russia's brand-new T-14 Armata tank. The teaser video is short on details, but a few things stand out. |
The tank armor appears to be modular, so individual sections can be replaced after sustaining battle damage. Although there's no obvious "hard-kill" active protection system against anti-tank missiles and rocket-propelled grenades, this report by The National Interest says such a system will definitely make it onto upg... |
The tank is studded with cameras, giving the crew much greater situational awareness. The tall, coffee can-sized cylinder on top of the turret appears to be a commander's independent thermal viewer, allowing the commander to scan the battlefield at night and through smoke, and line up targets for the gunner who has his... |
The demonstrator's turret is enormous, much larger than the A4 turret, with the overhang on the opposite side of the gun having grown the most. This is likely to cope with carrying larger main gun rounds, and also to act as a counterweight on the other side of the turret to a long, heavy main gun barrel. |
Interestingly, that's exactly what the MBT Demonstrator doesn't have: a long barrel. It appears to have a standard 120-millimeter L44 caliber tank gun. (The 44 refers to the length of the barrel, which is the diameter times 44. That makes 5,280 millimeters, or 17 feet, 4 inches.) That the barrel is 17 feet long and sti... |
Russia's recent aggression in the Crimea and intimidation campaigns from Scandinavia to the Black Sea have NATO spooked, and looking to upgrade their tank arsenals. Whatever new tech makes it onto the MBT Demonstrator will almost certainly be retrofitted to existing European (and Canadian) tank fleets. |
While exercise is important, nutritionists often point out that restricting daily calories, and consuming the right kinds of calories, is more important in the effort to reduce obesity. |
Food and beverage companies have sometimes been suspected of promoting exercise-related research in an effort to de-emphasize calorie consumption. |
That said, Dr. Pepper Snapple has conducted a survey that it says shows kids aren't getting as much outdoor playtime as they once did. Findings from the 2017 State of Play Survey suggested that screens and schedules are key culprits in the current deficit of active play among children and adolescents. |
Instead of romping around outdoors, an increasing number of children across the nation are opting for ‘plugged in play’ during their downtime. |
Televisions, phones, computers, and other electronic devices appear to be a central focus during playtime; around 80% of kids consider gaming part of play time, according to the study. |
During the weekend, non-active play is the free time filler of choice for many children. While active play increases by only one hour from the weekday to the weekend, screen time sees a sharp increase in popularity when the weekend rolls around, jumping from 4.8 hours to 8.4 hours per day. |
So what’s keeping kids from engaging in active play? Many parents believe their children’s schedules may be holding them back. |
Nearly 7 out of 10 parents surveyed believed their child’s jam-packed schedule was a key factor in keeping them from being active. |
Kids also seem to be longing for a lighter workload. More than 50 percent of tween respondents said they wished they had more time to be active and play sports. |
Children should be physically active for at least one hour per day, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Parents can encourage their kids to put down the devices and get active by setting a positive example themselves. |
Prioritizing play can be as simple as making physical activity part of your family’s daily routine. Taking family walks or playing active games together are just a few ways parents can help eliminate the play deficit. |

Break out the confetti and find your biggest hat because, after quite a few Mr Wrongs, Geraldine Estelle Halliwell — the quintessential Spice Girl — is finally getting married. |
Geri, 42, who shot to global fame in the Nineties as Ginger Spice in the original girl power band, has been dating her Mr Right, millionaire Formula 1 team boss Christian Horner, for just over a year. |
They got engaged in November and are positively racing up the aisle, with the wedding being held on Thursday at Syon House in Brentford, Middlesex. It looks certain to be a heartwarming and very British event, with a rumoured special role for Geri’s two beloved Pomeranian dogs — there are whispers that the pooches may ... |
As well as a couple of Spice Girls, at least four of the high-society Delevingne clan are due to attend, with the bride being particularly close to the middle sister, model Poppy. |
Sadly, the groom’s parents are likely not coming — they disapprove of the romance, which blossomed after Christian left his partner of 14 years, just months after she had given birth to their daughter. |
And both Posh Spice and Mel C —Sporty Spice — are pleading previous engagements on the other side of the world. So what will the bride wear — and will we read all about it in a glossy magazine? ALISON BOSHOFF has the inside track. |
Would it be uncharitable to mention the bride’s false starts? As well as her liaisons with socialist comedian Russell Brand, pop star Robbie Williams and Radio 2 DJ Chris Evans, Geri has been engaged at least twice before. |
Her first ex-fiance was Demian Warner, a wealthy American whom she met in rehab in 2002. He was kicking a drug addiction and she was being treated for an eating disorder. |
They argued over her wanting a pre-nup and an HIV test, and split after only a few months. |
In 2009, she was engaged to Italian businessman Fabrizio Politi, who gave her a £150,000 diamond ring. She dumped him abruptly — with him claiming to be baffled. |
More recently she was said to be betrothed to socialite Henry Beckwith, but they split in 2011 amid reports that she was jealous of his friendships with other women. |
Her romance with British screenwriter Sacha Gervasi was over by the time she realised she was pregnant with their daughter Bluebell, who turns nine on the wedding day. |
She said in her autobiography that the death of her father, car dealer Laurence Halliwell, when she was 21 had left her desperately searching for a male figure in her life. |
Christian Horner, MBE, is a privately educated millionaire, as Geri’s lovers often turn out to be, and the boss of the Red Bull racing team. Geri met him thanks to her interest in Formula 1 — she is friends with F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone and racing entrepreneur Eddie Jordan, and travels around the world to watch races.... |
She had his baby, Olivia, in October 2013. Christian and Geri publicly became an item in March 2014. |
Geri’s account on photo-sharing site Instagram shows Horner blissfully content with her and Bluebell, sharing Easter with them in the garden and going rowing on the Serpentine in London’s Hyde Park on a sunny day last month. |
Last summer, they cruised around Italy’s Portofino in a yacht, enjoyed a Kate Bush concert and spent Christmas together on the Caribbean island of St Lucia. |
Apparently he is ‘good for her’ and ‘sensible’, and the idea of taking out a traditional engagement announcement in The Times — rather than selling the news to a magazine — was his. |
Baby Spice Emma Bunton, to whom Geri has always been close, will be coming, along with her long-term partner Jade Jones, a fellow former pop star. Scary Spice Mel B, with whom Geri has had a rocky relationship, is making the trip from LA, where she lives with her Hollywood producer husband Stephen Belafonte. |
Mel B didn’t make David Beckham’s 40th birthday bash last week in Marrakech organised by Victoria (left, with the other Spice Girls and Eva Longoria). |
Society couple Pandora and Charles Delevingne will be there — Geri is close to Pandora, a reformed drug addict who is best pals with the Duchess of York. Their model daughter Poppy, 29, is also a definite, along with her husband, James Cook. Poppy’s supermodel sister, Cara, has been invited, but is said to have a ‘ridi... |
Seeking a dignified and historic venue, the bride plumped for Syon House, home of the Duke of Northumberland — where Julian Fellowes’s Oscar-winning murder-mystery Gosford Park was partly filmed. She turned down the Orangery at Kensington Palace as it was too small. |
Often called one of the last great houses of London, the stunning property was designed by 18th-century architect Robert Adam and overlooks Kew Gardens. Wedding receptions are held in the adjoining and superbly decorative Great Conservatory, which was built in 1827 and can accommodate 160 guests. The ceremony itself wi... |
The cost of hiring the venue is £12,000 but catering, flowers and music will add greatly to that. Geri has apparently ordered an elaborate amount of flowers, all in pure white. |
There is nothing as naff as a theme, or a dress code. Instead it’s going to be a classic English wedding, with poached salmon, speeches and the works. |
No doubt crushingly for the groom, Christian’s parents Garry and Sara are understood to be staying away from the big day. They let it be known in December that they didn’t approve of their son’s romance. |
The parents reportedly believe that Christian treated his former partner Beverley badly. The couple (left) were together for 14 years. |
Mr and Mrs Horner — who are described as doting, devoted grandparents — are understood to be among several family members who disapprove of Christian’s decision to leave Beverley so soon after the birth of Olivia. |
Mel C, Geri’s favourite Spice Girl, is missing out, as she will be in Singapore for Thursday night’s grand final of Asia’s Got Talent, on which she is a judge. Coincidentally, Victoria Beckham will also be in Singapore, as she has a long-standing arrangement at Singapore Fashion Week. The date was put in the diary last... |
Britain’s Got Talent judge David Walliams, a close pal of Geri’s, will be in Australia, on a book tour — she had hoped he’d do a Bible reading. I’m also told Sir Elton John, who she wanted to come and even hoped might perform, won’t be there either. |
Not diamonds, but dogs. Geri is utterly devoted to her two Pomeranians, Daddy and William. |
They never took to her ex Russell Brand or his cat, and also used to express their feelings about former beau Henry Beckwith by soiling her rugs when he was there. |
A source says that she has ‘seriously considered’ giving them a role in her big day, perhaps as ring-bearers. |
Petite Geri — whose most famous outfit remains a Union Jack tea towel sewn onto a Topshop dress — has sought the skills of Sarah Burton, creative director at Alexander McQueen, who designed the Duchess of Cambridge’s wedding dress. |
The dress will apparently be white, fitted and covered in embroidery and lace embellishments. The price hasn’t been disclosed, but it’s expected to be around £25,000. |
And that’s before you include a veil and some diamonds. |
Charming old Etonian Nicky Gumbel has been asked to preside over the wedding. Gumbel, who developed the Alpha course — an evangelical introduction to Christianity — is the vicar at Holy Trinity, Brompton, in central London. He has been friends with Geri ever since she took an Alpha course with him 12 years ago. |
WHAT ABOUT A MAGAZINE DEAL? |
Surprisingly, there is no lucrative magazine deal in place — which does mark a change of heart as Geri sold the first pictures of Bluebell to Hello! in 2006. |
