LAKE PLACID, N.Y.?-?

If you didn?t get an invitation, don?t despair.

That?s the message Hockey Canada wants to send to eligible players who weren?t asked to participate in the world junior evaluation camp and exhibition tournament this week.

?They should not be discouraged at all by not being here,? Hockey Canada head scout Ryan Jankowski said Saturday as Canada played the United States at Herb Brooks Arena.

?It?s wide open. There will be a lot of opportunities for any players. We?re blessed with a lot of depth in our country, and yet you still have to put the best team on the ice.?

No less than 10 players -- including Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, who would have been with the Edmonton Oilers if not for the NHL lockout -- who played for Canada at the world junior last winter didn?t take part in the team?s summer evaluation camp that included exhibition games against Russia.

Among those who did not play in USA Hockey?s tournament in the past four days but will be on Hockey Canada?s radar include defencemen Samuel Morin and Shea Theodore and forwards Jason Dickinson, Scott Kosmachuk and Morgan Klimchuk.

Plans have not been set in stone, but Canada will hold a camp in Calgary or Toronto prior to departure for the 2014 event in Sweden, which begins Dec. 26.

Depending on the number of players who make their respective NHL clubs, it?s possible that final cuts will come after the team travels to Europe.

POINT SHOTS

Canada couldn?t score on two power plays early in the first period against the U.S., and that helped turn the momentum in an eventual 5-1 loss. Bo Horvat had the best scoring chance, but he was stopped on the doorstep by goalie Jon Gillies ... Max Domi gets by with his creative talent, but he has some of his dad Tie?s jam. Domi drew the second U.S. penalty, on defenceman Patrick Sieloff, after the two badgered each other behind the Americans? net. Sieloff went one step too far and got his stick up in Domi?s mouth, an act that sent him to the box ... Tie Domi was among the parents who made the trip to the Adirondacks. ?It?s part of our culture,? Domi said of the idea that his son could wear Canada?s logo at the world junior. ?Winning the Stanley Cup, it goes hand-in-hand for Canadian kids growing up.?... Forward Tom Wilson, who didn?t play in Canada?s first two games, got in the Americans? psyche early when he rocked Stefan Matteau with a crushing open-ice hit in the neutral zone ... The U.S. didn?t have a good scoring chance until there were five minutes left in the first period, when Andrew Copp and Hudson Fasching banged away at a loose puck, to no avail, in front of netminder Jake Paterson. From there, Canada got into penalty trouble, as the Americans scored two 5-on-3 goals in the final minute of the first -- the only scoring they would need. ?We took a lot of penalties and it is something we have to be different at come Christmastime,? head coach Brent Sutter said. ?But some of those penalties we took was (about) focus, a mental thing. When you are like that, you don?t deal with adversity throughout a game very well.?

FROM THE HASH MARKS

Canadian defenceman Derrick Pouliot didn?t look great when he was out-muscled by American forward Quentin Shore for a loose puck. While the U.S. was shorthanded, Shore got away from Pouliot and fired the puck behind Paterson for the third U.S. goal ... Sam Reinhart scored for Canada, a goal that came at 14:03 of the third after a smart pass from Nic Petan. Otherwise, Gillies, a 2012 third-round pick by the Calgary Flames, was perfect, making 24 saves. Gillies made an eye-popping save in the second period when he grabbed the puck out of the air as he was falling to the ice. ?I saw out of the corner of my eye, I think it was (Hunter) Shinkaruk who was waiting to bat it in,? Gillies said. ?I looked up and reached for it. I have long arms.?... Sutter scratched goalie Zachary Fucale, defencemen Ryan Pulock, Matt Finn and Slater Koekkoek, and forwards Anthony Mantha, Charles Hudon, Brendan Gaunce, Kerby Rychel, Emile Poirier, Ryan Rupert and Mark Jankowski.

Car in Calif. missing teen case found in Idaho

CASCADE, Idaho (AP) ? A car belonging to a man suspected of killing a California woman and her young son and then fleeing with the 16-year-old daughter was found in the Idaho wilderness on Friday after a horseback rider reported seeing the man and girl hiking in the area two days earlier, authorities said.

The rider said he saw two people who matched the description of the pair near Morehead Lake, in an extremely rugged backcountry area 70 miles northeast of Boise sometime around noon Wednesday, Ada County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Andrea Dearden said.

The rider didn't report his encounter with the pair until later, after seeing news reports and realizing they were being sought.

Idaho authorities started searching Thursday and the car was found Friday morning and identified through serial numbers as belonging to James Lee DiMaggio, 40.

There have been no other reported sightings of the pair since Wednesday, but the discovery launched a massive search in the southwest corner of The Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness.

More than 100 people were searching on foot and on horseback or were on their way to join the search of an area that Ada County sheriff's spokesman Patrick Orr described Friday evening as covering 320 square miles.

The rider also told police it did not appear that the girl, believed to be 16-year-old Hannah Anderson, was being held against her will. Both people seemed healthy and were equipped with gear necessary to hike and camp in Idaho's remote wilderness.

"There was nothing that was so alarming at the time that he felt threatened or alarmed," Dearden said of the unidentified rider. "But after seeing the Amber Alerts, there was something that made him think, in hindsight, that it all seemed a little odd."

Brett Anderson, Hannah's father, said he was "very happy" that Hannah may have been spotted alive. He said he couldn't explain why his daughter didn't ask the horseback rider for help.

"We don't know what kind of frame of mind she was in or what he told her," Anderson said. "Maybe if she acted differently, there would be more dead people."

Hannah's grandfather, Christopher Saincome, also was relieved and refused to try to explain the girl's reaction.

"He could have strapped something to her and told her it was a bomb. He could have had her tethered to him," he said. "I'm sure she's totally in shock."

The car, a blue Nissan Versa, was covered in brush off a road about 5 or 6 miles from the spot where the man and girl had been seen. The license plates had been removed, but the vehicle identification number matched that of the car being sought, San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore said.

Police previously warned that the car might be rigged with explosives. A law enforcement team from San Diego was expected to search and secure the car at the trailhead, sheriff's spokesman Orr said.

Morehead Lake is in the southwest corner of a rugged 2.3 million-acre preserve in the heart of Idaho. Because of its wilderness designation, the preserve is not open to motorized vehicles and traffic is limited to hikers and horseback riders ? rules that will also apply to searchers.

The lake is about 2 miles west of the Middle Fork of the Snake River, a waterway that winds through the wilderness and is extremely popular for recreationists who float and camp for up to a week at a time.

The pine-blanketed area is at an altitude of about 7,800 feet and the lake itself is seven miles into the wilderness area. Temperatures at night can fall into the high 30s. Daytime highs can reach the 90s.

Police have set up check points in the area where the car was found and near other nearby trailheads, about 60 miles east of Cascade.

Gore noted that DiMaggio bought camping gear a few weeks ago.

Authorities throughout the West have been looking for the teen and DiMaggio since the bodies of the girl's mother, Christina Anderson, 44, and an unidentified child were found Sunday at DiMaggio's burned home near the Mexican border about 65 miles east of San Diego.

The unidentified body is believed to be that of Hannah's 8-year-old brother, Ethan. The body was badly burned and definitive identification hasn't been made.

DiMaggio was close to the family. Brett Anderson has described him as a best friend and said his children thought of him as an uncle.

Authorities have said DiMaggio had an "unusual infatuation" with the 16-year-old, although the father said he never saw any strange behavior. If he had, he said, "we would have quashed that relationship in an instant."

DiMaggio, a telecommunications technician at The Scripps Research Institute in San Diego, was planning to move to Texas and invited Christina Anderson and the children to his home last weekend to say goodbye, said Christopher Saincome, Anderson's father.

It's unclear how the two were killed, though police believe the crime was planned.

Brett Anderson said his friend is an outdoorsman.

"He was very interested in hiking and camping," Anderson said. "Whenever he had the chance and had the funds he would go on a hiking trip."

The Cascade area is an outdoorsman's paradise. Perched along the southeastern shoreline of the Cascade Reservoir and The West Mountains, the town is a popular summer getaway for hikers, campers and kayakers.

Long-term calcium-channel blocker use linked with breast cancer

Older women who have taken calcium-channel blockers for 10 years or longer have a higher risk of breast cancer than women prescribed other antihypertensives or who have never taken antihypertensives, research published this week suggests (JAMA Internal Medicine, online 5 August 2013).

The authors warn that more research is needed to confirm their results but say that: ?Quantification of the potential relationships between use of these medications and breast cancer risk has the potential to aid clinical decision making regarding selection of antihypertensive agents.?

Study participants were women aged 55 to 74 years with either invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) or invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) who lived within the greater Seattle metropolitan area in the US. These women were matched against randomly selected women without breast cancer. An increased risk of both IDC and ILC was observed for women who had taken calcium-channel blockers for at least 10 years compared with all other women in the study (odds ratio 2.4, 95 per cent confidence interval 1.2?4.9, OR 2.6, CI 1.3?5.3, respectively). Risk did not vary according to oestrogen receptor status.

Our pre-caffeine roundup is a collection of the hottest, strangest, and most amusing stories of the morning.

Twitter's new security measure ditches texts for in-app alerts. Here's how it works.?

The effort to stop "Apple picking" phone theft now extends to London.

Yahoo is counting down to a new logo with different designs every day.

Speaking of counting down, traffic is slowing at Yahoo's newly purchased blog platform, Tumblr. Coincidence??

Samsung told the world that it is making a smartwatch in March, and now a newly discovered trademark provides some clues as to how the company will compete with Apple?s rumored iWatch.?

Facebook's new "story bumping" will show you what you may have missed.

FYI:?Dolphins recognize the whistles of old friends (and foes) after decades.

And in fake science news, that Discovery Channel documentary "Megalodon: The Monster Shark That Lives" is fake,?and apparently that's causing "outrage."

You can now buy seriously expensive art on Amazon.?

In closing:?Hello 24-hour giant panda cam, goodbye productivity!
