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

A group called RAMPS is planning a "Take Back a Mountain" event this Saturday.
The group, which stands for Radical Action Mountain People's Survival, started organizing and preparing Wednesday in Nicholas County. According to their website, they are training participants for mass nonviolent direct action aimed at halting operations at a surface mine.
Debbie Terry, who lives in Boone County and has family in the mining industry, said she disagrees with the planned protest.
"I think they should let the coal miners work because it is the future," Terry said. "That is most of the jobs here in West Virginia."
For now the group is being quiet about which mine they will be targeting.
