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.

U.S.-Allied Sunni Groups Struggle Under Iraqi Control
The Sunni militias known as the Sons of Iraq, or Sahwa movement, were credited with helping to defeat al-Qaida in Iraq during the U.S. surge that began in 2007. They have fallen on hard times since coming under Iraqi government control a year ago, facing arrest and other troubles.Iran Cleric's Funeral Becomes Opposition Protest
Further evidence that opposition to the Iranian government remains strong: Tens of thousands turned out for the funeral of a leading dissident cleric — Grand Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri — in the holy Shiite city of Qum.'Three-Hour Rule' To Address Tarmac Delays

Eurostar said it would resume its high-speed rail service linking Britain, France and Belgium on Tuesday after a three-day suspension that stranded tens of thousands of travelers.

Dave Koenig has health insurance through work, and is happy with the plan. But as the health care debate drags on, he says he's losing faith in the overhaul plan. Koenig, who calls himself a conservative, says that at first he was open to President Obama's call to regulate the insurance industry to protect patients. But as lawmakers negotiate behind closed doors, and it's still unclear how much it will cost, Koenig is growing wary of the plan. And he's hoping his health insurance won't change when all is said and done.Bing Vs. Google: A Weeklong Experiment
James Fallows, national correspondent for The Atlantic and news analyst for Weekend All Things Considered, talks to Michele Norris about his weeklong experiment using the search engine Bing instead of Google to help him track down facts for his latest Atlantic article.Brooke Astor Son Sentenced To At Least 1 Year
Meryl Gordon, author of Mrs. Astor Regrets: The Hidden Betrayals of a Family Beyond Reproach, talks to Michele Norris about the trial of socialite Brooke Astor's son, Anthony Marshall.
