Enron Wants To Be Paid

Enron has a lot of nerve:

Former Enron employees say they've been getting letters from Enron, demanding they pay back some of the settlement money.

Enron says that of the 26,000 people in the settlement coordinated by a third party company, 87 percent were underpaid and 13 percent were paid too much.

Reinvigorating New Orleans' Art community

To help reinvigorate the artist community in New Orleans, global market research firm Synovate recently commissioned 40 local artists to create original artwork for an upcoming eBay charity auction, with proceeds going to the artists and the Arts Council of New Orleans (ACNO).

Synovate partnered with ACNO to develop and organize the initiative, including approaching local artists about participating. Forty artists were selected and given $1,000 each to create one piece of artwork with the theme 'My New Orleans' to be auctioned online.
