Clifford Grevemberg doesn't want to go to jail. On Friday night, the lanky 18-year-old was arrested by Tybee police on a disorderly conduct charge in front of the Rock House on 16th Street. He says he was Tased twice and thrown to the ground, breaking one of his front teeth and leaving scrapes on his face and knee. But Grevemberg, who suffers from a form of autism, still wants to know what he did wrong. "I just wanted to go to sleep," the 6-foot-9-inch tall, 170-pound teenager said Saturday. "I sat down on the curb and put my head in...

JERUSALEM — The women tattooed his name and portrait on their bodies and gave their children his name — Savior. They spoon-fed the bearded, one-time healer as if he were royalty, brushed his shoulder-length white locks, sent him text messages when they were ovulating and slept with him at his bidding.

And the bill bars drilling within 50 miles of the coast -- putting off limits some...

I've heard him called many things....kindhearted, workaholic, good ole boy, behind-the-scenes man, and even angel-come-to-earth, but I'm quite certain the description he most appreciates is simply.... friend. Mike McCombs is everybody's friend, or to be more specific, Mike is a friend to everybody. Dear Hearts, you may not know it, but Mike McCombs is your friend, too. Without making it sound like an obituary, as one of his friend's laughed and accused me of doing, I decided it was high time to say a few nice things about a kind, good-hearted man, even though he'd rather run naked down Courthouse...
