This sounds very cool: Xerox debuts purchasing service - 1/15/2009 AM - Purchasing

Further in the article was this:
"Xerox Corp. is launching a new service for those looking to source components from suppliers in other regions of the world but who may not have the resources to do so on their own.So if we price it just right, this could turn out to be a big thing. Can Igen manufacturers use the service to order toner and paper and other stuff from our team?
Xerox Procurement Solutions provides a range of services that assist purchasing professionals with sourcing direct or indirect goods and services. These services range from consulting to Xerox’s procurement operation actually sourcing parts and components for the client. Fees vary depending on services rendered."
Further in the article was this:
The company already had been doing some print procurement for some of its customers.So . . .given that Distribute and Print is clearly the emerging model, what's the real story behind this. Ya gotta believe that if Xerox became a standards based process defined portal for global deliver and print that would work. Maybe the value of Premier Partners could be leveraged to give your manufacturers what they really need. More work.

"Meanwhile, in Wilsonville, I hear employees are nervously awaiting details of how Xerox will implement big job cuts outlined last fall. Word could come as early as tomorrow, I gather.
Xerox has 1,600 employees at the former Tektronix campus just east of I-5.
In October, Xerox said it would cut 5 percent of its global work force. If applied evenly across the company, that would take the Wilsonville site down by 80 people or so.
Economic conditions have worsened since Xerox first outlined its cuts, but the Wilsonville site's color printing work is very important to the company's growth plans. So it's an open question how the cuts will play out in Oregon."

"Marina Hanacek’s art is an extension/reflection of her passion for the city and the city life. She draws on her extensive knowledge of materials and textures to imbue her work with the energy and experience of urban life.
Using Xerox transfers, acrylic glazing and collage surfaces over a texture of primer, Marina is able to achieve multilevel imagery. Her latest abstract discovery - the 'Element' - is a symbolic ingredient in her creative process. The Element is pivotal in portraying the architectural and organic as well as ornamental aspects of the painting's composition and capturing a vision that is uniquely hers."

"Heavy Chemistry helps Xerox Scientist reach Patent Milestone
TORONTO, Jan. 13 /CNW/ - Many scientists claim to have 'eureka' moments,
but rarely at the age of 12. However that's when Xerox Corporation (NYSE: XRX)
scientist Peter Kazmaier first felt the thrill of creating new molecular
structures - while using his first chemistry set. This fall, Kazmaier
experienced another thrill from the scientific community: the receipt of his
100th U.S. patent, a rare achievement that puts him among the ranks of Xerox's
most inventive scientists, and only the fifth Canadian scientist at Xerox to
accomplish this feat."
