Canadians Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford won the pairs short program at Skate Canada International on Friday night with 69.57 points. They skated to "Tribute," which Radford -- a pianist who studied at Torontos Royal Conservatory of Music -- wrote in 2006, the day after his coach Paul Wirtz died of cancer. Italians Stefania Berton and Ondrej Hotarek were right behind the Canadians with 69.38, while Sui Wenjing and Han Cong were third with 69.02 at Harbour Station arena. Radford said he had chills skating to his own song, which he recorded with a 16-piece string section in a Montreal studio last spring. "It is a different experience hearing my own music, it just creates a deep centred feeling inside of me. . . its difficult to put into words," Radford said. Duhamel, from Lively, Ont., and Radford, from Balmertown, Ont., bronze medallists at last springs world championships, won despite Duhamel stumbling out of her triple Lutz, and putting a hand down on the throw triple Lutz. Despite leaving considerable room for improvement, the Canadians -- Duhamel in a floaty pink dress, and Radford in an understated grey shirt and pants -- are way ahead of where they were at this point last season. "Last year we came to this event, skated a clean short, and got 64, so this shows everything that weve been working towards and improving," Duhamel said. "We started with 64 last season and ended with a 73 at worlds, so this is exactly where we want to be, we want to hit those high 70s as we go into nationals and as we go into the Olympics. I think that its a good step." Paige Lawrence of Kennedy, Sask., and Rudi Swiegers of Kipling, Sask., were sixth, while Margaret Purdy of Strathroy, Ont., and Michael Marinaro of Sarnia, Ont., were eighth.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- The civility between Florida State and Miami seemed like sportsmanship at its finest as the two rivals lined up for a pregame handshake at midfield of Doak Campbell Stadium on Saturday. Two and a half quarters later, officials scrambled to break up skirmishes and Miami defensive end Anthony Chickillo lay flat on his back with Florida State tackle Bobby Hart on top. So much for the friendly part of the rivalry. As for the competition, that last about a half, too. No. 3 Florida State rolled to a 41-14 victory against No. 7 Miami in another matchup of undefeated Atlantic Coast Conference rivals that turned into a Seminoles blowout. Jameis Winston threw for 325 yards, but added two interceptions in the first half after throwing four in the first seven games. The Florida State defence picked up the slack and shut out the Hurricanes (7-1, 3-1) in the second half after it was 21-14 at the break. The Seminoles (8-0, 6-0) went on a 20-0 run after the skirmish broke out midway through the third quarter. The two teams were called for offsetting personal fouls and James Wilder Jr. scored on a 5-yard run on the next play. The rout was on from that point, not much different from Florida States 51-14 win at Clemson last month. "Its a team that is understanding how to compete in big games and is learning to do it different ways," Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher said. "We were very excited early and had to keep our emotions in check. "The second half we came out and were very physical and were able to run the football and take control. The defence was dominant. Im just proud of the way our guys competed. The Seminoles have defeated three Top 25 teams by a combined score of 155-28. Their national championship hopes are alive and well with rival Florida being the last real challenge in the regular season. Devonta Freeman ran for 81 yards and two touchdowns for FSU against his hometown team while Miami running back Duke Johnson posted 97 yards on 23 carries, before leaving with a leg injury. There was no update on Johnsons injury. Florida State safety Terrence Brooks left the game in the second half with a concussion and did not return. Wilder Jr. had 42 yards rushing and two touchdowns in his first game back after being held out last week with a concussion. Winston threw one touchdown and Miamis Stephen Morris threw for 192 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Florida State outgained Miami 517-275.dddddddddddd "Just like baseball, sometimes you go out there and strike out," said Winston, who also stars for the Seminoles baseball team. "Then youve got to come back and bounce back and my team really helped me through it. "I told the guys, No more turnovers and were going to go out there and win this game." The Seminoles opened the game with a 13-play, 72 yard drive that ended with Freemans 5-yard touchdown run. The Miami offence responded with an impressive drive of its own that included 28 yards from Johnson on his first three carries. Coach Al Golden didnt open with a slow, ball-control plan as many expected to keep the Florida State offence on the sideline. Miami went hurry-up with a heavy dose of Johnson to move to the FSU 27-yard line, but Matt Goudis missed a 44-yard field goal wide left. The Miami defence forced two huge turnovers in the first half that kept Florida State from running away. Safety Deon Bush picked off a Winston overthrow intended for Greene. The Hurricanes scored five plays later on a 33-yard pass from Morris to Allen Hurns to tie the game at 7-7. "We played the No. 7 team in the country and we won by 27," Fisher said. "Thats a very good football team. "Were just going to keep playing well and let people judge. This is a heck of a football team here." The Seminoles got their groove back on the ensuing possession and put together another drive capped by a Wilder Jr. 1-yard touchdown run to go up 14-7. The game was on the verge of being a first-half blowout after Freeman took a screen pass 48 yards for a touchdown. Miami overloaded the right side of the Florida State line and came with a heavy blitz, but Fisher caught them with the perfect call -- the screen to the left where there were more blockers than defenders. The Seminoles went up 21-7 with 5:08 left in the second quarter and the Hurricanes promptly went three-and-out. Winston took the field ready to bury Miami under a 21-point lead, but Rayshawn Jenkins picked him off and gave the offence the ball near midfield. Morris found Hurns again with a 14-yard touchdown pass eight plays later to send the game into halftime with the Hurricanes up 21-14. "Give them credit. They made all the plays. We did not," Miami coach Al Golden said. "Its a high powered offence. They executed better than we did." cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
