Even without poutine and ketchup chips, 4 players from Toronto aim to get Miami back to NCAAs

CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — There are some serious complaints being aired by a handful of Miami women’s basketball players. For example, finding good poutine in South Florida isn’t easy. Ketchup-flavored potato chips aren’t in most stores. And the inability to start a day with coffee from Tim Hortons is a real problem.These are key issues when almost half of a team’s roster hails from Toronto.For these Hurricanes — Lemyah Hylton, Lashae Dwyer, Shayeann Day-Wilson and Latasha Lattimore — Thanksgiving is in October, the Raptors are the hometown NBA team and what Floridians call “freezing” is nothing more than a pleasant day outside to them.Dwyer, Day-Wilson and Lattimore all hail from Toronto; Hylton is from the suburb of Mississauga, about 15 miles (25 kilometers) west of Toronto. The Hurricanes have only 11 players on the roster this season — and having four from Toronto is basically a happy coincidence.“Honestly, I have no idea how this happened,” Hylton said. “And I think a lot of p...

(CNN) — Investigators searching for mass shooting suspect Robert Card have received more than 530 tips from the public, Maine Public Safety Commissioner Michael Sauschuck said Friday morning as he pledged to continue an around-the-clock manhunt for the Army Reserve member accused of killing 18 people.Investigators are expected to return to Card’s home on Friday, hours after law enforcement officers surrounded the home Thursday night and ordered any occupants to come out – though it’s not clear whether anyone was inside.Card, a longtime Army reservist and skilled marksman, should be considered armed and dangerous, authorities said.

That adds to the challenges for investigators, who routinely track cell phones to find...
