Extreme weather, like the kind the D.C. region experienced over the weekend, highlights the stresses on the local power grid.While no one likes waiting for the power to come back on, in Maryland, officials who have dealt with the impacts of weather emergencies and power outages say there has been progress in the performance of utilities, specifically concerning Pepco, which provides power to customers in Montgomery and Prince George’s counties.Maryland State Del. C.T. Wilson, who chairs a House panel that has oversight of utilities and the Public Service Commission, told WTOP in an interview that “I do believe we’re definitely in a much better position as far as reliability issues” than in 2010, when a series of storms and so-called “blue sky” outages plagued the region.Earl Stoddard, the Montgomery County Assistant Chief Administrative Officer, recalls being involved on the county work group under then-County Executive Ike Leggett that examined Pepco’s performance and called for ha...Andy Murray wins his first match at the DC Open in straight sets

Fans yelled, “I love you Andy!” and chanted, “Let’s go, Andy, let’s go!” and Murray came back to win it and take control of the match.
