No one should be upset because no one picked the correct numbers to win the large Powerball jackpot last night. It didn't stop people from walking up to the lottery outlets to buy a chance at a multi-million

The College Board last week issued a medal to its outgoing president.
Former West Virginia Gov. Gaston Caperton has headed the organization, which oversees the SAT, for the past 13 years. On Friday, the Board gave Caperton the College Board Medal for Distinguished Service to Education, according to a news release from the organization.
Past recipients of the award include Laura Bush and Hillary Clinton.
The medal is The College Board's highest honor, the news release states. It is awarded to people, "who have provided national leadership and service in the advancement of educational opportunity and who have demonstrated commitment to the principles reflected in the mission and purpose of the College Board."
Caperton was chosen for the honor because of his commitment to global education, the news release states.
"Gaston Caperton has had a profound effect on education in our country," College Board trustee Youlanda Copeland-Morgan said in the news release. "He knows that education is at the center of a healthy global economy, and his commitment to equity and excellence for all students has been unparalleled."
This spring, Caperton announced that he would step down as president of The College Board in October.
