* Camacho’s mother says life support will end: The mother of Hector ‘Macho’ Camacho plans to have the former championship boxer taken off life support today, after three more of his sons arrive in San Juan, Puerto Rico, to be with him. Maria Matias said Friday night she made the decision to have doctors remove him from life support. The boxer’s oldest son says he opposes the decision. Matias says three more of the boxer’s sons will arrive in Puerto Rico and will get to see him for the last time on Saturday. She says her son “died three days ago and he’s only alive now because of a machine." The former world champion was shot in the face Tuesday night in his hometown of Bayamon.

* NHL cancels games through Dec. 14, All-Star game: More than a third of the NHL regular season and two of its marquee events have now been called off. The league announced its latest round of cancellations on Friday — Day 69 of its labor lockout. All games through Dec. 14 were wiped out, and this time All-Star Weekend, scheduled for Jan. 26-27 in Columbus, Ohio, was lost, too. The New Year’s Day outdoor Winter Classic already was scratched. NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said losing the All-Star festivities is “extremely disappointing."

Warren (67), a 189th-ranked golfer who hasn’t had a win since 2007, had a chance take the outright lead. But his 12-foot putt on the 18th came up short.
