Wade Smith, one of John Edwards' attorneys, said today that he and his client will be making no statement today and have no plans to make a statement regarding Rielle Hunter's child.

Media reports quoting anonymous sources circulated Friday saying that Edwards was planning to acknowledge that he is the father of Hunter's baby, Francis Quinn. Edwards has previously said he and Hunter had an affair.

"No statement is planned," Smith said. "We have no sort of schedule or timetable."

Hunter appeared before a federal grand jury last week. Edwards, a former presidential hopeful, is under investigation by a grand jury regarding whether he inappropriately spent campaign money to hush rumors of his affair.

Under the Dome will be closed on Sunday for repairs.

No, not us. (We're usually closed on Sundays anyway.)

The state Capitol will be closed to visitors on Sunday for some maintenance. State officials say a new transformer will be installed, and power must be shut off while the work is underway.

The Capitol is expected to be open for business again on Monday.
