| Ventura St. Bonaventure comes up big, 35-21
For more than a decade, Ventura St. Bonaventure has been one of the most dominant small-school programs in Southern California. On Saturday, the Seraphs proved they're one of the state's best.
Behind a final trademark performance by senior running back Darrell Scott, St. Bonaventure (14-1) scored three fourth-quarter touchdowns to pull away for a 35-21 victory over Modesto Central Catholic (11-2-1) in the CIF State Division III championship bowl game at the Home Depot Center.
Scott, rated the nation's top running back prospect by numerous recruiting services, capped off his prep career in dominant fashion, scoring a go-ahead touchdown on a spectacular 10-yard run before putting the Raiders away for good on a 16-yard flea-flicker pass to senior quarterback Casey Serna with less than two minutes left to play.
Joleon Lescott looking for England recall
If he were, it would represent a big blow to David Moyes' side, the one flying high in the Premier League and on the cusp of a place in the Carling Cup final. Standing in the way next Wednesday are Chelsea, 2-1 ahead following Lescott's late blooper in the first leg. After another impressive display at Stamford Bridge, the defender, under pressure from Shaun Wright-Phillips, headed a looping ball into his own goal. "I think I just waited a bit too long for it to come down and it hit me straight in the face," he reflects, still annoyed by the mistake. "Looking at it afterwards, I knew I should have got it away. It's a horrible feeling knowing you've let your team-mates down." He hadn't, of course. It was just an occupational hazard. Anyway, four days later Lescott showed enough character to skilfully flick home his sixth goal of the season to see off Manchester City at Goodison Park.

I should've turned and walked away when Carrie didn't answer the door. But I was on a mission, and my judgment at the time was less than sound. Carrie was a lithe, blond Arkansan with a sweet demeanor and prom-queen looks. Instead of her, I was greeted by a large man wearing a dirty white T-shirt and bluejeans. He had a wild, uncombed Afro. "What you want?" His eyes were bloodshot. His expression was suspicious. He was north of 6 feet tall and well over 200 pounds. I checked the number on the door. The building was on Ninth Street NW, in the Shaw neighborhood. Carrie had said she'd be in unit No. 32 -- the same number I was looking at. "Maybe I've got the wrong place," I recall replying. "I'm looking for Carrie." The man's expression softened.
Rising to the occasion in Nova Scotia
From the stained-glass transom over the door, to the antique wooden counters and display cases, to the pictures of Winston Churchill and of the original owners in the dining area, this place has been maintained, not re-created. First Watson, the proprietor, and her famous bread. It's made from locally grown grains, honey (2 tons a year), free-range eggs, sea salt, yeast and some sour starter (which extends the life of this preservative-free bread). Watson is a firm believer in a slow, cool rise, noting that high heat destroys yeast. On a busy day the bakery produces 700 loaves, which are sold across southwestern Nova Scotia. They also make bagels, herbed pita, scones, pastries and cookies. The place is open year-round and draws locals, tourists and the more gentrified second-home crowd.

David Cameron also shook the royal hand, as did Ken Livingstone, the Mayor of London, who never lets his socialist principles get in the way of a chance to meet his monarch. Timothy West – thespian, real ale gourmet and steam train buff – played Barlow the architect in a short tableau telling the history of a station that has virtually risen from the dead and that puts the Gare du Nord, at the other end of the line, to shame. Above the Queen and the guests, the roof of the station soared 100ft like a medieval cruck barn, except that its iron ribs had been repainted in their original baby blue – the idea, apparently, of St Pancras’s first station-master, who wanted his passengers to have a reminder of the open sky. London and Continental Railways (LCR), which restored the station and built the link to be known as High Speed One, may be sold, broken up or part-privatised after finishing the £5.8 billion project to shave 20 minutes off the time to Paris.
Hot New House Polls
Another polling triumph for Zogby. ... 8:18 P.M. Update: Does Pelosi = Semi-Amnesty? Michael Barone says yes (though as a "comprehensive" man, he doesn't seem upset by the prospect, and indeed may prone to Barnesian wishful thinking). MICHAEL BARONE: If John Conyers will be chairman of the Judiciary Committee which handles immigration . . . I expect that they would be pushing for something like the bill that passed the Senate this year with guest worker legalization provisions to come before the House. And it would have — it would tend to have a majority of votes in the Democratic House, I think. [On Special Report with Brit Hume] 8:11 P.M. Patterico 1, Keller 0: The New York Times has corrected the amazing Kate Zernike piece that managed--as Patterico's Pontifications pointed out--to give a false, heavily spun account of a two-sentence John Kerry utterance.
