What Marilyn Knight remembers most about the 1996 Summer Olympics is how little sleep she got. Knight would go to bed early to get up for her job as a licensed practical nurse at a Baltimore nursing home, only to be awakened a couple of hours later by her son, James Carter.Carter, then a recent graduate of Mervo and on his way to Hampton (Va.) University later that summer, could not contain his enthusiasm in watching Michael Johnson and Allen Johnson on television during their gold-medal performances in Atlanta.

Happy, a 78-year-old retired railroad worker only his wife knows as Robert Knight, finds out this week if Anne Arundel County has awarded him its yearly contract to drive sick people to the doctor.He probably won't get it. He never does.It's not that his Pasadena medical transport company, Happy-Go-Lucky, asks for too much money. If anything, it asks for too little.

Anna graduated in June 1995; Szablya's son, Alex Meiners, would enter high school in September.

25 years ago: Representatives from three counties spoke out against dropping physical education as a required course in public high schools in Maryland at a hearing on a proposed revision of high school curriculum. Many of the suggested changes were revolutionary, such as doing away with grading and grade promotions; allowing students to attend classes on a split schedule or in the evening; and issuing credits toward a diploma for on-the-job training. But most of the people present were concerned only that Phys.

Manufacturers of the experimental mail-order plane that nose-dived into Beards Creek on Saturday defend the integrity of their product and speculate that pilot error, not mechanical problems, caused the accident that killed actor William Gardner Knight.Federal investigators, tipped off by a prescription bottle found among Knight's belongings, suspect that the pilot made a fatal mistake while impaired by the side effects of Viagra, though they have not ruled out other potential causes.They sent blood and tissue samples yesterday to Federal Aviation Administration laboratories in Oklahoma City, where a test is being developed to help determine whether Knight, 56, had the impotence drug in his system.

Putting out this week's sports media notes while wondering whether the president-elect has a spot in his administration called "Guy Who Sits on the Couch Watching TV While Eating Cheez-Its": * If you listen to much sports talk - not recommended unless you have ample caffeine - you probably have heard much of the same from callers offering only slight variation on the theme: The national media disrespect/ignore/downgrade the Ravens. I was glad to hear Bruce Cunningham tell a caller to his show on 105.7 The Fan this week that fans from around the country say much the same thing about their teams, too. However, along those lines, some people no doubt will see a slight by CBS' assignment of Greg Gumbel and Dan Dierdorf to Sunday's Ravens-New York Giants game, which, by the way, is going out to 48 percent of the country.

Microsoft for 360 $15 video games Every once in a while, a game comes completely out of left field, catching everyone off guard and knocking them right off their feet. Today, that game is Castle Crashers. It begins with selection of one of four knights, each with his own set of magic. The Blue Knight controls ice, the Orange Knight has fire, Red is the zap master and Green just seems gassy. A gray knight tumbles down stairs with an arrow in his back, and the knight (or knights as the matter may be)

Retirement Living TV, the Columbia-based seniors' network, has placed four shows on hiatus and laid off 47 workers, though some layoffs are expected to be temporary. Executives at the network, which launched in September 2006, say the move is not a sign of trouble there but rather a typical process for a start-up television channel experimenting with different programming. "We're trying to do something that's very difficult to do," Brad Knight, president of Retirement Living TV, a subsidiary of the Erickson Retirement Communities in Catonsville, said of creating a network without backing from a major media company.

After 18 years of singing "This Old Man," helping with math assignments and quietly soothing some of the most troubled children in Anne Arundel County schools, Bessie Knight just finished her last day of class. Knight, 84, retired Friday as a "foster grandparent" volunteer at the Phoenix Center in Annapolis, where she was known for her cheeriness and her ease and gentle demeanor with the students, all of whom have emotional problems. "She knows how to calm them," said Pamela Magee, the teacher with whom Knight has worked for the past 11 years.

Presenting this week's sports media notes while assuring you, dear reader, that at those rates, I was not Client 8: Your boss doesn't want you watching the NCAA basketball tournament at work.
