… It was the worst experience of my life,” he said, learning that every local humane society was already overwhelmed with cats, so the help he thought he would get from them wasn’t offered, and all but one of the national animal rescue groups with deep pockets didn’t contribute. The ASPCA contributed $1,000.
“There were nights I sat home and cried,” he said.

The 13- and 16-year-old girls were walking along the 1700 block of Long Avenue around 6 p.m. when they noticed a green Kia Rio parked on the west side of the street. When they passed by the Kia, which was being driven by Kessler, it pulled out and began following them, police said. 
Kessler then allegedly pulled up next to the girls and rolled down his window. He whistled at the teens and told them to “get into the car (because) I’m looking for a little girl to take home,” police said. The 16-year-old told Kessler she was calling the police, and he turned south on Garden Avenue and left the area. A few minutes later, he was arrested, police said.
When officers questioned him about the incident, Kessler said he saw the girls, but never approached them. He also told officers he never spoke to the girls. When officers ran a background check on Kessler, they discovered he has been arrested before for kidnapping, solicitation, contributing to the delinquency of a minor and compelling to prostitution, the report states.

After Kessler parked, he waited until the girls, who are cousins, got closer to the car and then he “whistled loudly, stepped out of his car and yelled at the girls to ‘get into the car, I’m looking for a little girl,’” according to the report.
One of the girls said she was calling the police and Kessler left the area but the girls had his license plate number, police said, adding several other children related to the teenage girls also told police they’d seen Kessler’s green 2005 Kia in their neighborhood during the past several weeks.
Officers spotted Kessler parked at a red light on Broadway and pulled him over, police reported.
Kessler denied the allegations, police said, adding Kessler contends he was parked in the area intending to pick up a prostitute.

… Mitigating Factor: Any “bottoming out” needs to include the team dumping Troy Murphy, Mike Dunleavy and/or T.J. Ford (making $60.3 million combined through 2011). On the Untradeable Scale from 1 to Gilbert Arenas, Murphy is a 2, Dunleavy is a 6.5 (because of knee issues) and T.J. Ford is an 8.
• VP’s Verdict: Move those Dunleavy/Murphy contracts while they’re in uniforms and not street clothes or walking casts. For example …
Fake Trade 3a: Murphy and Dunleavy to Cleveland for Shaq’s EC. Love the Murphy fit for Cleveland because he can shoot threes and rebound; they could play him, Varejao, LeBron, West and Williams at crunch time. Anything Dunleavy gives them is a bonus. For Indiana, they can buy out Shaq (saving a couple of million dollars), then save another $23 million next season. And you thought professional basketball couldn’t be salvaged in Indiana! Let’s celebrate by hitting a local strip club and firing gunshots into the air. What, too soon?

Ranking the NBA from worst to first…
30. New Jersey Nets (2-26) Last week: Lost at Cleveland; lost to Utah; lost at Toronto; lost to L.A. Lakers. This is not good for Rafer Alston. He’s 33 years old, shooting 34 percent from the field, and becoming a forgotten man in a contract year. And playing with this team, Skip is liable to age another four years before July 1.
29. Golden State Warriors (7-19)
Last week: Lost at Philadelphia; lost to San Antonio; lost to Washington.
Steph Curry and Anthony Randolph are like the young stripper in a gold-digging marriage with the dirty geezer. Just keep your eyes on the prize, do what the old man says, and soon enough, the keys to the mansion will be yours.
28. Minnesota Timberwolves (5-22) Last week: Won at Utah; lost to L.A. Clippers; beat Sacramento; lost at Boston. Any other year, Jonny Flynn would be right in the middle of the Rookie of the Year discussion. But given what’s happening in Sacramento and Milwaukee, Flynn’s 14.2 ppg and 4.1 apg won’t be good enough.

Billed as “an elegy for Imperial Avenue,” the performance featured original poems by local writers including Mary Weems, Douglas Hoston Jr., R.A. Washington and Kisha Nicole Foster.
The poems didn’t mention the victims specifically but returned over and over to the theme of unfulfilled and broken lives. In her rapid-fire piece “Watch Your Back,” Foster implored the audience to love, pray and “be proactive, for an active change.”
Midway through the performance, the names of all 11 victims slowly appeared on screen, accompanied by a tenor sax solo by Odell Brown.
The show ended with a moment of silence led by emcee Lisa Zaid, a relative of victim LaShanda Long. She said she appreciated that the show “didn’t focus on blaming. I think it was more for healing.”
Female volunteers who call themselves “Because of the 11″ headed onto the streets of Cleveland and East Cleveland Friday evening to minister to prostitutes.

No wonder he finds the offer so appealing. It’s whatever he wants for as much as he wants.
You’d have to like the Browns’ chances of landing him. Who’s out there that could offer him such a blank slate?
But the better question is how many teams would if they could?
Montage by bestweekever.tvFor at least the New York Post, the Tiger Woods Affair is the story that just keeps on giving and giving and giving and …Dog bites man is not news but how about man bites Tiger.
The New York Post, most famous for the 1983 headline “Headless Body in Topless Bar,” put the Tiger Woods story on its front page for 20 consecutive days. That officially threatened to exhaust the English language’s supply of bad plays on words.
