PresidentCEO Eileen Laughlin, who's working to revitalize our city, and Connie Vickery, who used to raise money for Republicans but now asks for other things as a lobbyist with BoseTreacy Associates. New York-based (but Hoosier at heart) television producer Mike Mathis is working on his second Biography episode for the Network, tracing the life of ice-skater Scott Hamilton. Roselyn recipes Kroger store officials are amazed at just how fast Roselyn bakery products are flying off the grocery store shelves. Soon, the Roselyn folks will sweeten the deal even more for hungry Hoosiers. Watch for a Roselyn Recipes cookbook this fall (In time for holiday giving) that will contain about two dozen favorite recipes, including items not available at the store.

No word yet on which recipes will be Included. Sgt. McDaniel Indiana Republican Party Chairman Mike McDaniel has been named an assistant sergeant-at-arms for the Republican National Convention that will be July 31 through Aug. 3 in Philadelphia. He was one of eight announced by convention organizers.

McDaniel hasn't been in town much this week for everyone to salute because he's been in Austin, Texas, conferring with other state chairs and hearing from presidential candidate George W. Bush. McDaniel will head to Philly with at least one thing in the back of his mind: He hasn't given up on seeing Indianapolis be host for a major political convention. Everyone remembers Indianapolis came very close to getting this year's GOP convention. Meeting the queen If Indianapolis Interior designer Ron Budny was going back to school this fall and had to write an essay on what he did on his summer vacation, the rest of the class would be green with jealousy.

During a 16-day trek to Europe, he rode In a hot-air balloon, visited clients In Milan and got to chat with Queen Elizabeth II at a party given at the American Museum of Britain in Bath. Budny reports the queen was gracious and very sincere in showing Interest in each person she met. Stateside, he's Just been elected to the 15-member board of directors of the Color Marketing Group, a Washington, D.C.-based outfit that rules the color roost. If you ever wonder why some colors are hot, you can thank (or blame) the s. a section of the city code that prohibited outdoor dining on Monument Circle.

It's good to know the city government can move fast when the need arises. Instead of grinding the code amendment through a time-consuming committee process, council members voted, and Mayor Bart Peterson plans to sign it soon. There's no doubt the committee process serves a worthwhile purpose to give legislators time to study issues and the public a chance to comment, but this was a no-bralner. No need for the public to fear, however. Outdoor cafe operators still have plenty of rules and regulations to follow to keep themselves out of trouble.

And thaf what scares me. To the person who said that kids should grow up, shut up, listen and learn and that we shouldn't get our rights until we pay our dues: First, if we grew up, we wouldn't be kids. We are meant to have fun, be loud and act our age. Second, how can we pay our dues if we are too young to get a job? You should be nice to us because we will be running everything when you gel old. If we are really serious about the separation of church and state, atheists should be the only people allowed to seek and hold public office.

To the person who said we don't need another casino because we already have enough addicted gamblers: A casino at Union Station would not increase the number of sick people, but would lower our taxes and keep those who are NOT sick from driving for hours. Do you really think that Go Karts will draw bigger crowds and revenue for the state than a casino? Wake up and smell the money. Patty Hearst to appear in 'Castle' tours Media heiress Patricia Hearst will appear in two specials giving a personal tour of the Hearst Castle and the rest of her grandfather's estate in San Simeon, Calif. She'll do the specials for the Travel Channel cable network to air in 2001. Hearst Castle was built between 1922 and 1947 by media mogul William Randolph Hearst and was made a California State Historical Monument in 1951.

The first episode will feature her discussing the background of the residence and guiding a tour of parts of the estate closed to the public. The second will focus on her now-deceased grandfather's relationship with celebrities such as Charlie Chaplin and Clark Gable and some of the parties at the residence. In 1974, she was kidnapped by the radical Symbionese Liberation Army, and collaborated with them in a bank robbery, for which she served time. Barrymore's 'prince' is comic Tom Green Drew Barrymore has found her Prince Charming In shock-comic Tom Green. The 25-year-old actress, who played Cinderella in the movie Ever After, has officially become engaged to Green, 28, in the last 10 days, her publicist, Eddie Michaels, says.

Michaels could not confirm exactly when Green proposed, but said no wedding date has been set. Green, 28, appeared In the movie Road Trip and is host of The Tom Green Show on MTV. They appear together in the movie adaptation of Charlie's Angels, due out in November. nicotine and alcohol. However, some believe craving feelings are part of the addiction complex that includes tolerance, withdrawal symptoms and loss of control.

Dr. David Heber, director of the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition and author of The Resolution Diet, and UCLA researchers are about to begin a nationwide study to determine whether a drug called Ecopipan can help individuals curb food cravings and thereby lose weight. The theory behind the study is that certain foods stimulate a transmitter in the brain called the dopamine receptor, which produces feelings of pleasure. Pleasure-stimulating foods often referred to as red light or trigger foods are often unhealthy. But we want them anyway, sometimes because we associate them with fond memories or because we use them as a way to reward ourselves.

Had a bad day? Hey, you got through it. Reward yourself with a piece of pie. The comfort zone When we eliminate foods we enjoy from our diet, some scientists say the craving Is the body's way of protesting that food's absence. Most successful weight-loss plans will have dieters cut back on unhealthy foods rather than cut them out completely. "I taught a class in gestational diabetes where, before the class, one of the women went out and ate half a watermelon because she knew in the class we would tell her she couldn't have it," said Patty Carbone, a registered dietitian in the health education division of Kaiser Permanente In Woodland Hills, Calif.

"Patients will go and have half a gallon of ice cream. It's like one last fling." But will a pre-diet binge eliminate the craving? Unlikely, says Karen Miller-Kovach, chief scientist for Weight Watchers International. "If you set yourself up in terms of creating an environment of deprivation, then you'll have feelings of deprivation and you'll want what you're being deprived of," says Miller-Kovach. "If you're trying to lose weight and you tell yourself you can't eat pizza, you're setting yourself up for failure." The majority of us go to the nearest vending machine, buy the Milky Way bar and satisfy urge commonly known as a food craving. Others are conditioned to find a way to satisfy the craving with a less-caloric substitute, such as a piece of fruit.

Others simply Ignore the "must have chocolate" feeling and not eat anything. Few of us have stopped to ponder from whence that food craving originates. And scientists aren't sure, but many suspect the impulse for a specific food is spurred by the brain. Unfortunately for research purposes, cravings are common yet unpredictable and fleeting enough that scientists can't easily study them. Crossing a fine line It's even difficult to come up with a definition since there's a fine line between a strong preference and an actual craving, says Dr.

Paul Rozin, professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. If you feel like eating an egg salad sandwich for lunch this afternoon, you may simply be experiencing a preference. Very common. If nothing but an egg salad sandwich will do day after day, lunch after lunch, that's a craving. "Most wouldn't consider it a craving if it isn't cyclical, recurrent and pressing," says Rozin, "like if you're willing to go out in the rain for something." Chocolate is the most commonly craved food, followed not so closely by pizza, salty foods (like potato chips and french fries), sweets, bread, protein and fatty foods.

Caffeine, grouped as a beverage, not a drug, is a heavily craved Item that unlike foods can produce withdrawal symptoms. While you might add "-oholic" to your favorite food In conversation, nutritionists say you cannot be addicted to food the way you may be to Darva Conger claims she learns from mistake Darva Conger says her February appearance on Fox's Who Wants to Marry a Multimillionaire was a huge mistake. She made the statement while making a Playboy promotional visit to San Diego, hometown of the "multimillionaire" to whom she briefly was married. "When you make a mistake of that magnitude, you can't do anything but say, 'I made a learn from it and move on," said Conger, 34. "I just wanted to be on TV for 10 minutes." Conger said she is comfortable with her Playboy pictorial, but that she wouldn't have done it had she not been fired as a nurse after the TV show.

How can you expect Market Square Arena to become a historical building like Union Station if you tear ft down? In the case of Maj. Gen. Larry Smith and Lt. Gen. Claudia Kennedy, I guess all a woman has to do is make the charge.

You don't need any kind of proof. The Army bought it because the woman had "no motive to make a false allegation." No wonder people are leaving the services in droves. Does anyone know what the 1995 reconstruction on 1-65 from 21st Street to 56th Street accomplished? Apparently, there is no long-term planning here. Let me get this straight. The government has no right to prohibit me from taking drugs, but it has the right to tell me not to smoke cigarettes.

HERMAN Continued from Page 1 was a butchering of the Seinfeld mantra "yadda yad-da yadda." This prompted several readers to claim it was Herman who was the butcher. Ann Alia of Indianapolis wrote: "You might want to let your readers know that "yatata yatata yatata' presaged by decades "yadda yadda I'm from the Northeast and people still use that phrase constantly. It's Seinfeld that made the mistake. You should let those people know they're not entirely off their rocker because you rubbed their noses in it a few times." Herman still prefers "yadda yadda yadda," but he is deeply remorseful for his teasing of the Brauns. PASSWORDS Continued from Page 1 most computer security experts: the one-key-fits-all approach.

"The only way I can manage the password problem is to Just flatly make them all the same," says Ryan. "Without standardization, I'd be lost." For her computer, Ryan settled on the name of a childhood pet. When most passwords grew longer than four letters, "I'd add something like NYT for my New York Times account," she says. "Since I kept forgetting those, now I just use the pet's name twice." If all this PIN-dropping makes you feel as if you're retaking a high school trigonometry final, take heart. Professional organizer Elaine Bloom of Maplewood, N.J., says even pros like her are singing the Password Overload Blues these days.

"I haven't figured out any good way of dealing with the problem either for myself or my clients," Bloom admits. "I tend to make them all similar types of things, but I know experts say that's not the smartest thing to do." Greg Arnold of Passlogix suggests a service like his company's free download system (www.passlo gix.comj. One password leads you to a customized Icon that opens all online accounts, says Arnold, who co-founded the company three years ago. "I stood in the parking lot of a CompUSA store for three days, asking people how many passwords they had," says Arnold. "The average person had seven or more, so clearly there was a problem there." There's more good news.

Several companies are working on fingerprint, face-, and voice-recognition technology that could soon make passwords obsolete. Also, the IRS has begun issuing five-digit PINs for online filing. Should you forget the number, agents will track down that ex-boyfriend for you, so you won't have to file late. As for the garage-door code, IRS officials say, you're on your own. "And whereas Piersen's theory is the only one tied to a historical figure instead of a verbal tic that sounds like something from a Jim Carrey movie.

"The Indiana General Assembly hereby adopts Harry Hoosier as the official Inspiration for, and embodiment of, the noblest and coolest stale nickname in the U.S." Will anyone second that emotion?
