I'll let you in on my busy schedule lately. My oldest son is getting married on October 3rd and we are holding a Bridal Shower for he and his bride on Sunday. Needless to say it has been a busy and joyful time.

I have some short errands to run and I will return tonight to do some reading of the Current House Health Insurance Reform Bill.

I do want to express sympathy for the loss of Yale Student Annie Le. It is more than sad. According to her roommate, Annie was the kindest person she had ever come to know. The murder has shaken a Yale Campus whom now believe more than ever, a murderer walks among them.

It was a gruesome reality. She was working hard in her lab one minute and killed the next. The building where she was found is one of the most secure buildings on campus with 700 cameras in and around the building. The one place there were no cameras was the basement where her body was found. The murderer knew that building from every angle. We look forward to the good work of the police.

Be back shortly. Staying connected to the Reform and Recovery of my country is important to me. I also want to stay up to date on Afghanistan, Iraq and the Middle East in general. I believe Secretary Clinton has been addressing the issue of Iran's nuclear program. I want to look for any news about the IAEA, too.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Police investigating the slaying of a Yale graduate student zeroed in on a "person of interest" Tuesday after keeping tabs on an ever-tightening circle of people connected to the medical lab where her body was found stuffed behind a wall.
Authorities on the case have been tight-lipped almost since the minute 24-year-old Annie Le was reported missing Sept. 8, just a few days before her wedding day. Police say they have ruled out her fiancee, a Columbia University graduate student, but they have provided little additional information - other than to deny reports that a suspect was in custody.
On Tuesday, investigators descended in large numbers on the home of a Yale animal research technician who lives in an apartment in Middletown, about 20 miles from the New Haven campus. Le worked for a Yale laboratory that conducted experiments on mice, and investigators found her body stuffed in the basement wall of a facility that housed research animals.
It was unclear whether the technician was the "person of interest," and whether police were giving the same attention to any others who had access to the lab where Le worked. Detectives have questioned more than 150 people, many of them believed to be connected to the busy medical research building where Le was a rising star....
