Centerville Company Targeted in Home-Based Business Lawsuit
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Federal prosecutors have filed a civil lawsuit against a Centerville, Utah, company that promised a home-based business opportunity would bring investors immediate cash flow and incredible returns. But the Federal Trade Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice say the promise was bogus and lacked a basis for the claim. Both agencies are parties in the lawsuit filed Dec. 6 in U.S. District Court.
The action is among 100 included in "Project False Hopes," an 11-state federal crackdown on work-at-home scams. Other cases involves home-based business opportunities for vending machines, ATM and Internet terminals, envelope stuffing and medical billing.

Home Office has known of foreign crimes scandal for three years
Home Office ministers knew as long as three years ago that UK offenders who committed crimes overseas were not being recorded on police computers, David Davis has revealed. Referring to a National Audit Office report published early in 2004, the Shadow Home Secretary accused the Government of "utter incompetence" - just as Tony Blair defended Home Secretary John Reid's handling of the current shambles, in which hundreds of Britons guilty of foreign crimes - including rape and murder - have had the opportunity to seek jobs involving children and the elderly without any official checks. Mr Davis protested: "It now emerges that Ministers knew there was a problem with the records of overseas convictions three years ago. This report clearly shows that the system was not working and that the Government knew that organisations that worked with youngsters including sports organisations were having problems.
Talmage Clements: The Teacher
A quarter-century ago, developing nuclear power plants offered a historic opportunity for a young engineer, a professional thrill akin to launching the nation's space program.In his 32 years with Progess Energy, Talmage Clements worked on developing the control-room simulator at the Shearon Harris plant in Wake County, analyzed nuclear fuel safety, supervised nuclear engineers and oversaw the preparation of nuclear license applications.It was not uncommon for other companies to try to recruit Clements for his expertise and experience. But he never wavered from his goal: Stay at one company, live close to home, and don't lose your way in the management maze and get away from hands-on engineering."Why would you want to do something you don't enjoy for a whole lot of money?" Clements said. "Not many people get to work on their hobbies for a living."It took Clements just a few days to conclude that he was financially secure enough to retire at the end of 2005, at 58.
Artist Spotlight: Eve Strella of Pittsford
Evolution as an artist: My father, Robert M. Johnston, earned his living as a professional artist, and my brother, sister and I all have what I call the "art gene." I work at my art at every opportunity and usually take art supplies and always carry my digital camera with me when I travel, just in case something inspires me. Inspiration: Inspiration comes from nature, color, landscapes, topical settings and generally from things of beauty. I'm never sure what will inspire me until I see it. Then I can't paint, draw or photograph fast enough.
Featured work: The Road Home, colored pencil, inspired by a photograph I took of the lane leading to the farm where I grew up in western Pennsylvania. The beauty and color drew me in, and the level of detail sparked my interest and creativity.
Digital home seen boosting PCs; price an obstacle
From high-end PCs to gaming microchips and data storage equipment, scores of product categories stand to gain from the arrival of the long-awaited, long-hyped, digital home.
This year at CES, the biggest U.S. show of its type, PC makers Hewlett-Packard Co. and Dell Inc. displayed digital homes at the show using their computers, monitors, printers and TVs.
The companies have turned to calling the PC a "home server," the hub of a network of wirelessly connected devices sending Internet video, high-definition movies, TV programs, music, photos and documents from one room to another.
Even computer disk drive makers such as Seagate Technology and Japan’s Hitachi Ltd. see opportunity in consumer electronics as high-definition video, photos and music require ever-greater amounts of data storage.
