Seton girls basketball learns from a college coaching legend

Harry Perretta knows how to lighten a moment. During a break at Seton’s two-hour girls varsity basketball practice Tuesday in Manassas, he asks a player what she should do first if she ever played for him. She mentions a play they just ran. It’s a good answer, but not the one Perretta is looking for. Perretta tells her any player must first pay attention. Then, with a storyteller’s perfect cadence who knows his audience, he explains why, pointing to a banner of Saint John Paul II on the far wall of the gym. “When he talks about religion, he’s infallible,” Perretta said in reference to the former Catholic pope. “And when I’m inside these four lines and I’m talking basketball, I’m infallible.” The comment draws laughter from those nearby. Then, comes the topper. He walks off the court and quietly says to one observer with a smile, “How’d you like that one?” Of course, Perretta doesn’t really think he’s infallible, but when he’s on the basketball court and teaching, players and coaches would be wise to listen to him.

Maryland "is facing an energy crisis," utility Pepco says

"Maryland is facing an energy crisis," electric utility Pepco warned in a message to customers Thursday. "When demand for electricity is high and supply is limited, it puts pressure on the system and can increase costs," the message said, advising that customers "may see changes in your energy bill" as the region enters the winter months. The utility again has attempted to explain that many of the surging costs are not its responsibility, such as the taxes and fees imposed by Montgomery County and Maryland state governments. It specifically mentioned the EmPOWER Maryland fee that the Maryland legislature recently hiked again. Politicians hope that you will think Pepco is charging you these fees, which is part of the impetus for the utility to inform customers to the contrary.

UVA Orthopedics Marks 100 Years of Helping People Stay Active

A painful knee can change more than a workout routine. It can make a walk with family difficult, put a favorite sport on hold, or turn an ordinary flight of stairs into a daily obstacle. That connection between movement and everyday life is central to orthopedic care, says Dr. A....
