ESPN NFL analyst and former Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka was hospitalized Friday after suffering a minor stroke.
Ditka, 73, told The Chicago Tribune that he "felt good right now and it's not a big deal." He also said that doctors described the incident as "very minor."
Ditka also told The Tribune that he was playing cards at a country club Friday night when he noticed his hands "weren't working quite right," and he subsequently had trouble speaking.
ESPN publicist Mike Humes tweeted that Ditka would not work in Bristol, Conn., over the weekend as he recovered.
After a Hall of Fame playing career with the Bears as a tight end, Ditka coached the team from 1982 to 1992. He also coached the New Orleans Saints from 1997 to 1999.
At age 49, Ditka experienced a heart attack during the 1988 season with the Bears.

Joseph Luke 'Joe' Wright
Memorial services for Joseph Luke "Joe" Wright will be held at 5 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 17, at the First Baptist Church.
Joe was born Feb. 2, 1928, to Salvatore and Gertrude Wright in Weirton, W.V. He passed away peacefully at Mercy Regional Medical Center in Durango surrounded by the love of his daughter, Emily Joan and his son-in-law, Robert on Thursday, Dec. 13, 2012. Joe was the father of five living children.
Joe married his first wife, Marcelene Lawrence in Dalton, Ga. on March 2, 1946. He apprenticed to be a brick/stonemason in the steel mills of Weirton for three years before they moved to the Four Corners area in 1952. For many years the couple managed trading posts on the Navajo and Ute Mountain Reservations.
After graduating from police training in Denver, Joe then worked as a police officer for the City of Cortez. Later, he became a probation officer in Towaoc and then Joe had the honor of being the first Anglo chief of police in Towaoc.
Over the years, Joe continued to utilize his great mason skills as they were needed in the Four Corners area and he will long be remembered for them as he was the only mason in Cortez for many years. He never met a stranger and loved talking to people over a cup of coffee, regardless of their status in life. Joe enjoyed getting to know new people as he worked, and most of these people became his friend for life. Joe took great pride in his skilled work and was always willing to help others. One of his early mason projects was the beautiful large stone fireplace that he built alone in the cold winter of 1954 at Stoner, Colo.
Joe and Marcelene were the parents of five children, four who are now living. They are Darlene Wright Nidever and husband Charlie, Luke Wright, Joe Paul Wright, all of Phoenix, Ariz., and Emily Joan Wright Sanchez and husband Robert of Westminster, Calif. Joe and Marcelene divorced in 1982 after 36 years of marriage and later he and Vangie Jumbo of Round Rock, Ariz. became the parents of his fifth child, a daughter, Josephine Wright of Cortez. Joe is survived by his wife of seven years, Ruth Husky of Teec Nos Pos, Ariz.; his five children; his former wife, Marcelene (Wright) Hagen of Phoenix; his beloved brother-in-law, Albert Kukulski of Gold Canyon, Ariz.; seven nieces and nephews; a daughter-in-law, Debbie Wright of Cortez; 13 grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren; his greatly loved dog, Fritz; as well as his world of dear friends.
Joe was preceded in death by his parents; three brothers, Sal, Ray and Phillip; one sister, Mary; infant daughter, Cheryl; and his dear sister-in-law, Patricia Kukulski.
Arrangements are being made through Ertel Funeral Home. For further information or to send condolences, log on to www.ertelfuneralhome.com and click on the obituary section.

I didn�t sign up for this! How Not Reading the Fine Print Cost my Family BIG written by Guest Author for BillCutterz Money Saving Blog.
Years ago, long before I had the big family that I have now, I needed a car.� And in my mind, my new car would be a far superior ride than my parent�s old station wagon, the old faux-wood grain paneled vehicle I had been driving myself to classes and my part-time job with.� After all, I recently graduated from college and was just hired for my first grown-up job, hence the need for a more polished set of wheels to suit my new station in life.� And with my more mature persona, off I went to the local auto dealership, with what I thought was a responsible list of criteria.� I must have had a light above my head blinking with bright letters that spelled, �Sucker!� because the salesman made a bee-line over to me and never left my side until I ended up signing my meager new �adult� paycheck over to a way over-priced car who�s value was dwindling as quickly as my fragile bank account.� I should have known better when I saw him hi-fiving his co-worker as I nervously pulled out of the parking lot, full of buyer�s remorse.
Fast forward fifteen years and four children later, and yes I drove that little sedan around until the wheels fell off and I mean one of the wheels literally unloosened itself and rolled down our street.� When I could no longer squeeze one more car seat in our already over-filled passenger area, I finally succumbed to the idea of a new car.
My husband, full of hubris and condescension, shooed off my piteous pleas to accompany him, after all I wanted to share the lessons I had the hard way (mainly, about disregarding the fine print).� But he brushed me aside and said this was �man�s business� now.� Needless to say, he returned home with a brand new minivan that came with every deluxe feature and then some; DVD screens for every occupant, leather iPod holder and a mini refrigerator.� Yes, a refrigerator! I predictably blew up at him and demanded to see our monthly payments, which in hindsight I probably should have reviewed not directly after eating dinner.� The multiple pages should have been the tipoff that he had probably not thought clearly about some long-term and unnecessary warranties.� Needless to say, even �men� can be finagled by someone who can charm and persuade.� But we both agreed afterwards we would never again fall prey to slick sales tactics and impulse purchases.
If this sounds like anything you and your significant other may have also experienced, then here are a few tips below to keep your budget safe and best of all, not taken advantage of.
Bring a Third�party: If you�ve got a pair of consumers who are eager to investigate a new purchase, then having someone along who is not financially and emotionally invested in the item is a good way to dampened those raging shopping fires.� Even though you love that sporty two-seater convertible, they can help remind you about those other passengers you need to think about; namely your four children.
Read the Fine Print: Yes, when you see something super tiny, you need to make the association about really scrutinizing it, word for word.�� Whether it�s a seemingly great sale, reread and make sure it�s not a gimmick to lock you into something longer term.� Yes, that new cable service sounds amazing, what�s not so amazing? Two months after they signed you up they raised your monthly bill by 150%.� Yikes!� You don�t want to be stuck paying for something that you never intended to purchase in the first place.
Budget: This means stick to that bottom line.� If you are not willing to pay a dime over what you budgeted for that new entertainment system, then you need to have the ability to walk away.� This will show that sales staff you mean business and if you stick with your guns and your means, you could end up getting your new purchase even below that bottom line.
Patience: You know that saying, �Marry in haste, repent in leisure� well, just substitute with �Buying in haste� as this would be equally truthful.� If it doesn�t feel right, wait.� If it is meant to be then, it will still be available when you and your conscience are ready to pay.� There is nothing as bad as seeing that newly purchased item and feeling horribly guilty, or worse yet, feeling so regretful you can even enjoy it.
Well, there you go.� Read the fine print, stick to your budget and be patient.� Who doesn�t love going shopping and returning home with your newly acquired treasures?� But there is even more to love when you leave with a few extra dollars in your pocket.
As a mother of four,Anna Gitellis knows how to make every penny of that family dollar stretch to make the most for her large brood. When she's not running around the soccer field, PTA meetings or the local ice rink, you can find her online looking for the best deals for her family. When she has a moment to breathe, she blogs with Direct Savings Club.

Is your dog's name on the most popular list?Many look upon their dogs as superheroes, and apparently that is why so many families have chosen to name their pets after Bella, the fictional heroine character in the vampire film "Twilight" and in the series of best-selling fantasy novels that the film is based upon.Bella is now the most popular name for the family dog for the fourth consecutive year while the second most popular name is Bailey, according to a survey by Veterinary Pet Insurance. It tallied the numbers from its 2012 database of more than 485,000 insured pets to determine the most common names.Story continues below----------------------------------------------------------------------A book about a rescue dogthat will touch your heartTHE HUNT OF HER LIFE, a full-color book by newspaper journalist and MySetterSam.com publisher Joseph A. Reppucci, is must reading for animal lovers of all ages. It has 60 color photos of dogs to illustrate the compelling story of Samantha, an unwanted rescue dog adopted at age 2 by Mr. Reppucci. Travel with them along a trail of life filled with surprising twists, sudden turns, mystery and even what some call a miracle. And when the journey is finished, you may never look at people and their pets, motherhood - and perhaps even God - in the same way. THE HUNT OF HER LIFE will take you on a captivating journey - a trip like no other - that will touch your heart.For more details and to order, go to theMySetterSam E-storeAlso find The Hunt of Her Life on:Facebook/thehuntofherlifeAmazon.comCLICK HERE TO LOOK INSIDE THE BOOK----------------------------------------------------------------------Story continues hereIn 2009, Bella dethroned Max, which was on top from 2003 to 2008. Max - and its many variations, such as Maximum Max, Max Power, Max Avalanche, Maximus Gladius Spartacus, Minimax, Sergeant Maxwell T. Steel, Max the Moose, Max Crime Fighter, Cherokee Max, Peanut Max, T.J. Maxx, Duramax, Fatmax, Maxmax, Maxator Midnight and Mad Max McNaughty - is now third most popular. It slipped to second place in 2009 and third place in 2010 as Bailey has now been number two for the past three years."Max had been the most popular dog name for so long. I didn't think anything would take him down," VPI spokesman Curtis Steinhoff states in a media release. "I can only wonder if Max's dethroning has something to do with Bella being the name of the heroine in a certain vampire book/film series that's pretty popular these days."In the film and novels, 18-year-old Bella Swan, a high school student moves to the sleepy town of Forks, Washington, to live with her father. She becomes drawn to a pale and mysterious classmate, only to discover he and his family are vampires. The pair then have an unorthodox romance and battle the forces of evil. And apparently the plot of film has captured the imagination of many families who view their dogs as special characters.VPI's database indicates traditional pet names, such as Fido and Spot, have taken a back seat to people names like Bailey, Max and Bella. Of the nearly half a million pets insured by VPI, only 11 were named Fido, reflecting the current trend of owners giving their pets human names. Every dog name on VPI�s Top Ten Pet Names list doubles as a popular human name.�The popularity of people names doubling as pet names is a testament to the bigger trend of pet owners viewing their pets as members of the family,� Steinhoff said. �It�s now just as common for a pet to be named �Oliver� or �Chloe� as it is for a child.�Rounding out the top 10 most popular names for 2012 are: Lucy, Molly, Buddy, Daisey, Maggie, Charlie and Sophie.More reports about dogs and surveys:Where does your breed rank in popularity?The secret to your dog's amazing sense of smellWho's treated better - your pet or significant other?Face it, you really do look like your dogThe trick to helping dogs and cats get alongSmokers willing to quit for sake of petsThe top 10 dog parks in America10 major cities that are 'purrfect' for catsThe canine is top dog in BritainPets are best medicine for sadness and stressPet parents come up with unusual dog namesMore reports about dogs and surveysThe top 10 most popular names for 2011 were identical to the 2012 list ofBella, Bailey, Max, Lucy, Molly, Buddy, Daisey, Maggie, Charlie and Sophie.The top 10 most popular names for 2010 were: Bella, Max, Bailey, Lucy, Molly, Buddy, Maggie, Daisey, Charlie and Sophie.

Summer 2012
My name is Ingrid Rivera, and I was born on August 13, 1979. I am 32 years old and was diagnosed with PPH in 2003. I live in Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras. As many of you know, PH doesn't have many visible symptoms. Since I can remember, I have always loved sports; in school I was on the women's football team, volleyball team and cheerleading squad.
In 2003, the year I was graduating from college, I would wake up every morning and run. One day when I started running, I immediately felt my legs go numb and I was out of breath. I figured I probably had not stretched right, so I tried again. This time, besides the numbness and breathlessness, I felt dizzy and almost passed out. I visited the doctor because every step I took to the second floor of my parents' house would trigger my symptoms.
At my first visit, the doctor said it was just stress since I was in the middle of presenting my college thesis. A week went by, and I went running again and experienced all the same symptoms. I went back to the doctor, and he sent me for an echocardiogram. He later said, "You have a very rare disease called primary pulmonary hypertension." After many lab exams he concluded my PH was primary because he could not find what caused it.
This was all so new to me, and my family could not believe it. We did research, and everything I read was very scary. I visited many doctors after that, who all said it was hopeless, until I went to Duke University Hospital.
From that day on, my life changed completely. We took everything step by step and I experienced several relapses. In 2004 I underwent surgery for an internal hemorrhage caused by the warfarin I was taking. One day after the surgery, a blood clot went into my lungs.
You might ask, how have I made it this far? First of all, God takes care of me. I take my medicine daily, and I changed my life habits one day at a time. I eat healthier now. I try to get eight hours of sleep, and I try to take everything easy. I don't let anger defeat me, I exercise every day and I never stop giving thanks for each day. I cherish life and everything that surrounds it. I love the family I have, and I have become more sensitive to people's health problems and issues. I always say if you suffer from any type of fatal disease, there is HOPE! Never surrender and never give up because we have the best doctors looking for a cure.
I've been married for four years now to the greatest and most supportive husband one can have. I love my life, my parents, my brother, my sister and the 13 dogs my family has. I also find comfort in religion. It is all a matter of attitude. I currently take calcium channel blockers (diltiazem), Viagra® (sildenafil) and Coumadin® (warfarin). I take the first two medications four times a day and Coumadin® just once a day. I have regular checkups and live an almost normal life. It's not 100 percent normal but at least I feel like it is, and that is what matters.
Take it from me, live your life to the fullest and remember that a cure is just around the corner. Good fortune to all of you out there! You have a friend in me.

When parents come to talk to me about a troubled teenager, I often find it helpful to explore whether or not their marriage is causing their teenager to be at risk.
For both parents and teenagers alike, adolescence can be a very hard time. Unfortunately, when family life gets rough, communication tends to break down. And when it does, parents need to restore their ability to relate to their teenagers by learning about the rules of communication.
When the parent-teen relationship is strained or just needs improvement parents can utilize outside help to bring about a change. When necessary, one of the most effective ways of wielding indirect control is by having the teenager meet with a mentor. As a third person, uninvolved in family conflicts, a mentor is able to interact with a teenager and provide an informal means of solving problems at school, help the teen do homework or simply be a friend.
In our rapidly changing world, the idea of control has begun to change quicker than anyone can imagine. A metamorphosis of unparalleled proportion is taking place and many parents feel that they are unequipped to deal with the challenges that it will demand.
The fifth pillar of the inner world is what the eminent psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor Victor Frankl called the "Will to Meaning." This desire for meaning implies wanting to know the whys of life and not just the hows.
As children move from infancy into middle and later childhood, they have a growing need for control over their environment. To meet this need, teenagers must be given reasonable power to make choices about what they eat, whom they play with, and what extracurricular activities they participate in.
We often use the expressions "good self-esteem" or "poor self-esteem" to describe people's evaluation of their own worth. When people have good self-esteem, they tend to view life from a positive perspective, seeing their potential value. Poor or low self-esteem causes people to feel that everything they do in life is a losing battle and that they always get the short end of the stick.

The picturesque one-story, four-room wood frame cottage has been "restored" and is interpreted as an example of a middle-class life in mid-nineteenth-century Illinois.
