Shivashankar's older sister Kavya Shivashankar won the Bee in 2009. The 86th edition of the Scripps National Spelling Bee took on new meaning Tuesday _ or rather, lots of meanings _ with organizers having decreed that the precocious youngsters need to prove they know the definitions of some of those tough words. The 281 competitors took a 45-minute computer test that probed their knowledge of spelling and vocabulary, with the results to be combined with Wednesday's on-stage round to determine which spellers advance to the semifinals Thursday.
