Steve McNair is a hot topic today.

He was an American football quarterback who spent the majority of his NFL career with the Tennessee Titans.

McNair's death happened on July 4, 2009 where he was found dead of multiple gunshot wounds, along with a young woman named Sahel Kazemi, in a condominium rented by McNair, at 105 Lea Avenue in downtown Nashville. The report stated that McNair had been shot twice in the body and twice in the head. It was believed that he had been asleep on the couch when the shooting occurred. The Nashville police declared McNair's death a murder-suicide, with Kazemi as the perpetrator and McNair as the victim. The 9-mm gun used was found under Kazemi's body and later tests revealed "trace evidence of (gunpowder) residue on her left hand."

This 4th day of July will mark Steve McNair's first year death anniversary after the accident happened.

In some off-topic news, current Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young is said to be visiting Steve McNair's Mother in Mississippi on the anniversary of his death one year later. Young was one of the follower of McNair during his youngster age.

A grand jury agreed not to reopen the case earlier this month. McNair took the Titans to their only Superbowl appearance in the history of the team, which they lost to the Rams.

Though Steve McNair was dead, still the legacy and memories he remained to the people who loved him served as their inspiration and glory.

Dick Cheney's condition is a hot topic today.

Dick Cheney served as the 46th Vice President of the United States from 2001 to 2009 under George W. Bush. He briefly served as Acting President of the United States on two occasions during which Bush underwent medical procedures.

Cheney has a history of heart problems and has a pacemaker. He had four heart attacks [current as of Feb. 22, 2010] starting when he was 37. He has had quadruple bypass surgery and two artery-clearing angioplasties.

Here is a summary of Vice President Dick Cheney's heart problems according to foxnews.com:

- 1978: Cheney's first heart attack. A spokesperson for Vice President Cheney tells FOX the VP stopped smoking after his first heart attack, contrary to preliminary reports.

- 1984: His second heart attack.

- 1988: After suffering his third heart attack, he had quadruple bypass surgery in August to clear clogged arteries.

- Nov. 22, 2000: Cheney suffered what doctors called a "very slight" heart attack - his fourth. He underwent an angioplasty that day to open a clogged artery.

- March 5, 2001: Cheney went to George Washington University Hospital after feeling chest pains. Doctors performed another angioplasty to reopen the artery that had been opened in November. They implanted a stent, a little metal scaffolding, to prop open the almost completely blocked artery.

- June 29, 2001: Cheney disclosed he had been experiencing irregular heart rhythms and would check into a hospital on June 30 for tests that may lead to the implant of a pacemaker to restore normal rhythm. Since the heart attack in November 2000, Cheney said he regularly exercised for 30 minutes on a treadmill and watches his diet. He was taking medication to lower his cholesterol.

- November 13, 2004: Cheney underwent three hours of tests after experiencing shortness of breath. His wife said Cheney had nothing more than a bad cold and his heart was fine.

- Sept. 24, 2005: Cheney underwent successful, elective, minimally invasive, endovascular repair of arterial aneurysms behind his right and left knees. Small aneurysms were identified behind both knees during the Vice President's annual physical examination in July.

- Jan. 9, 2006: Cheney was hospitalized for four and a half hours due to shortness of breath. Doctors found his EKG unchanged, and determined Cheney was retaining fluid because of medication he was taking for a foot problem.

- March 5, 2007: An ultrasound revealed a deep venous thrombosis (DVT) or blood clot in Cheney's left lower leg. His doctors planned to treat him with blood thinning medication for several months.

- November 26, 2007: Cheney went to his doctors complaining of a lingering cough, but during the checkup they determined that he was experiencing atrial fibrillation, an abnormal rhythm involving the upper chambers of the heart. His medical team sent the vice president to George Washington University Hospital for further tests, where it was decided that the electrical impulse was needed to restore a regular heartbeat. "The procedure went smoothly and without complication," the vice president's office said in a statement issued by the White House.

- Oct. 15, 2008 -- Cheney was treated "without complication" for an abnormal heartbeat, his office said, making a short visit to a hospital to restore his normal rhythm with an electric shock. It was the second time in less than a year that Cheney, then 67, had experienced and been treated for an atrial fibrillation, an abnormal rhythm involving the upper chambers of the heart. He went to George Washington University Hospital in the afternoon for treatment. The process took nearly two hours.

- Nov.8, 2008 -- Doctors scanned Cheney's legs on to evaluate arthritis in his knees.

- Feb. 17, 2009 -- Cheney underwent elective back surgery. He underwent the operation at George Washington University Hospital to deal with lumbar spinal stenosis, a common cause of lower back pain in older adults. Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal -- the passage for the spinal cord -- which in turn puts pressure on nerves, causing pain. Surgery is done to widen the passage and ease that pressure, typically by removing a bit of the vertebra. Dr. Anthony Caputy, chairman of the hospital's neurosurgery department, performed the operation.

- September 17, 2009: Cheney went to The George Washington University Hospital for elective surgery to deal with lumbar spinal stenosis. Dr. Anthony Caputy, Chairman of the Department of Neurosurgery, was scheduled to perform the operation.

- Feb. 22, 2010 -- Cheney was hospitalized after experiencing chest pains. The next day his office disclosed that lab testing had revealed evidence of a mild heart attack. He underwent a stress test and a heart catheterization. He was said to be feeling good and was expecting to be discharged in one or two days.

Dick Cheney's condition isn't good. Is his condition curable? What do you think?

Lunar Eclipse is a hot topic today.

It has been said that the moon will appear reddened by a partial lunar eclipse around 3:16 a.m. Saturday. This would be visible over Washington state.

The secretary of the Eastside Astronomy Club, Judy Masons, says that there won't be a full lantern effect, but at 54 percent coverage, the color will be "pretty nice".

According to Joe Rao of space.com., the southern half of the moon shaded by the earth's shadow will be visible in much of the western and central North America.

The maximum eclipse will be at 4:40 a.m., and the moon will slip out of the umbra of the Earth's shadow at around 6 a.m., just before the Puget-Sound area moonset, said Greg Scheiderer of the Seattle Astronomy Examiner.

It has been predicted that the next full lunar eclipse will be on Dec. 20-21.

I'm pretty sure that many will enjoy watching this lunar eclipse. To see the red and orange hues clearly,use a 100-power telescope.

Doug Pitt is a hot topic today. And this person is now becoming famous in foreign countries.

Doug Pitt is known to be the brother of the famous actor Brad Pitt. He has officially been named the Goodwill Ambassador of The United Republic of Tanzania. He was presented with the humanitarian award in the presence of his wife, Lisa Pitt.

However, some of the families were not able to attend the said ceremony due to weather related issues.

Why does Doug Pitt deserves this kind of honor? Many people thought that it's simply because of his brother Brad Pitt. And they strongly believe that there's no other qualified reason other than that. Yet, still I'm sure that he really deserves the honor in some way, but it's amazing how people will overlook the disqualifications simply due to who he's related too.
