FIORINA-VOTING
SACRAMENTO — Weeks after Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman was criticized over her poor voting record, U.S. Senate candidate Carly Fiorina is trying to fend off a similar line of questioning by owning up to her spotty past. The former head of Hewlett-Packard, who is running for the seat now held by Democrat Barbara Boxer, says she has no excuse for not voting more often when people have died for that right. By Judy Lin.

ENTERTAINMENT:
MUSIC-LATIN GRAMMYS
LAS VEGAS — Puerto Rican duo Calle 13 won all five awards it was nominated for Thursday at the Latin Grammys in Las Vegas, including two of the top awards of the night and honors in both urban and alternative categories. The awards show ran late because Mexico's "Divo of Juarez," Juan Gabriel, sang for 40 minutes straight while mariachis stomped on stage and the audience clapped and sang along.

SPORTS:
PENGUINS-KINGS
LOS ANGELES — If the Los Angeles Kings' outstanding start is still escaping attention, maybe a come-from-behind win over the defending NHL champions will attract a little notice for Anze Kopitar and his young, hungry club. Jarrett Stoll scored the go-ahead goal with 7:51 to play, and the Kings rallied for a four-goal third period in a 5-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins. By Sports Writer Greg Beacham.

PREDATORS-DUCKS
ANAHEIM — For one night, everything came together for the Anaheim Ducks. Jonas Hiller stopped 40 shots — including 10 by Patric Hornqvist — to earn his fifth NHL shutout and Teemu Selanne scored two goals to overtake Hall of Famer Jean Beliveau on the career points list, in the Ducks' 4-0 victory over the short-handed Nashville Predators.

BERKELEY-ATHLETIC SPENDING
BERKELEY — Faculty at the University of California, Berkeley, are crying foul about the millions of dollars in subsidies directed to the school's athletic department. The campus Academic Senate has voted 91-68 in favor of a nonbinding resolution calling for an end to campus support of the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics and requiring a plan for paying back loans already made. By Michelle Locke.
WASHINGTON-LOCKER
SEATTLE — Washington quarterback Jake Locker will start Saturday when the Huskies try to break their 10-game road losing streak at UCLA, despite a deep thigh bruise that limited him the last two weeks. After having his activity held back in practice early this week, coach Steve Sarkisian took the reins off his quarterback to test and see how his right thigh injury would respond. Locker passed. By Sports Writer Tim Booth.
49ERS-SIMS
SANTA CLARA — Barry Sims still has something to give in his 11th NFL season, and the San Francisco 49ers need everything they can get from the veteran lineman as he takes over a prominent role on the team's struggling offense. Sims is being entrusted as the team's new starting left tackle in place of Joe Staley, who is expected to miss the next six weeks after injuring his right knee in last week's 18-14 loss to the Indianapolis Colts.
