"7 Canadians advance in U.S. spelling bee": in the semifinals are favourites Tia Thomas and Matthew Evans, a pair of home-schooled 13-year-olds who renewed a friendly but competitive rivalry that began in 2004. Matthew and Tia were finalists last year, but another returning finalist, Cody Wang, was eliminated in the quarterfinals.
