Kristen Smith loves to work with children and her life-long dream of opening her own childcare center has finally come true. Everything couldn’t be more perfect until her high school sweetheart walks through front door with his son in tow. Randy Stroud was the "one" that she has never gotten over. She has never understood why he’d ended their relationship but it was obvious that he’d moved and she was more than willing to pretend that she has.

NPR's All Thing's Considered
Late-Night TV Gets A Double Shot Of Diversity

The next time your batteries need a recharge, try taking a walk. A tiny Cleveland startup is trying to capture the renewable energy of your footsteps — no outlet required. Its device is called the Personal Energy Generator, or PEG, and it's about the size of a flashlight.Tear Down That (Replica) Wall!
A Missouri college with special ties to the start of the Cold War are commemorating the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall today. Westminster College in Fulton, Mo., was the site of Winston Churchill's Iron Curtain Speech, which historians say marked the start of the Cold War. Westminster also has the largest complete piece of the Berlin Wall in the United States. Westminster students are creating a replica of the wall in the shadow of the actual wall. To commemorate the anniversary, they will tear down the replica wall.Prosecutors Weigh Death Penalty In Seattle Shooting

The Supreme Court has refused to block the execution of the mastermind behind the 2002 sniper killings. John Allen Muhammed is scheduled to die by lethal injection Tuesday evening in Virginia.Supreme Court Weighs Life Sentences For Juveniles
The high court on Monday reviewed two cases testing whether it is unconstitutionally cruel and unusual punishment to sentence a juvenile to life in prison without parole — for a crime that does not involve a death. The justices seemed divided and uncertain on the question of redemption versus retribution.Breaking Down Abortion Language In Health Bill
A look at the controversial Stupak amendment and how it would affect abortion services and funding.Voices Of A Revolution: Leipzig
The revolution that brought down the communist regime in East Germany began in the city of Leipzig, about 100 miles from Berlin.
