| NFL Locks Results |

Congrats to Jim Hansen for winning the 2012-2013 edition of NFL Locks at 2033 points, the same winning total from last season. His record for the season was 70-15, three games worse than last season's victor. Charles Yelverton was second at 2019 points with David Cords in third at 2004 points to round out the podium and the list of members to top 2000 points. Joe Hiegel finished sixth overall, but managed to tie those three for best pick record.
Hansen also led the way with four week wins to earn two extra championship points. Doyle Ashe was second with three to earn 1.33 championship points while Charles Yelverton and Mark Yothers were tied for third with two week wins for 0.67 championship points.
Cords earned the most pick points with 845 to receive the extra five championship points for topping everyone. He also earned the most points from pick weights, but there's no bonus for that.
Cords and Anders Nilsson earned the final week wins of the season at 209 points. They won the tiebreaker with Matt Humpal by having a higher scoring weight five pick. Twenty-one members went a perfect 5-0 for the final week to earn an extra 0.5 championship points.
The 2012-2013 overall standings pages are now updated to reflect the game's results. Thanks to everyone that took part.

| Update Delays |
3:40 AM ET on 12/11/12 by Jay Soester |
In an effort to save time for someone who thoroughly needs to sleep, I'm cross-posting this from somewhere else. There are likely to be delays in the usual standings updates this week and with the results for College Football Pickem as well due to the below.
My aunt finally lost her battle with breast cancer (174.9) at 5:25 Monday morning. She was only 65. She won plenty of the battles over 12 years, but the end of the war was inevitable. The last few weeks (and/or month) were a struggle and I'm glad she's at peace and left peacefully.
I'm baffled to come to the realization that she only spent two and three-quarters less years (about 10% of my life) of my life living with cancer (12) than without it (14 and three-quarters). But I am glad, for perhaps selfish reasons, that I had ample time to prepare for today.
I've learned plenty from her over the years, but from this whole ordeal my advice to everyone else is fivefold. First and foremost, if you (or someone you know) are ever diagnosed with cancer, take care of it right away. She waited six months, who knows what that time could have prevented. Second, you never know when your last time seeing a loved one will be. I knew it was a possibility any time I left, but about 12 hours before she passed I still thought she had a week left. I always made sure I exited the same way regardless. Third, get the family affairs in order well before the end. Fourth, put all grudges on hold when someone's in need, there are more important things in life and then there are only a few things that matter nearing death. Lastly, and least importantly, be careful with hospice care. They can have a limited period of time where they're getting paid and if it's home care they can have limitations to their abilities. Do as much research as possible before entrusting them to care for someone.
On a somewhat related note, always take time out of your day for humor. It's the one universal positive that can supersede whatever else is going on. Sleep's fairly important too (as much as high school me didn't believe that).

In other news, with the NHL cancelling games through December 30th, Fantasy Hockey is one more cancelled game week away from being cancelled itself. Currently, week 12 would be the first week of the regular season with week 22 being the final week of the regular season. Week 12 is the latest a 12 team league could start and see every team play every other team in its league. I'll be monitoring the situation as best I can.
