Interesting article about a portal for health benefits being offered to Xerox Employees. Not sure if its ACS or Xerox employees, or just In Europe, or company wide. But its news to me. 🙂 http://www.employeebenefits.co.uk/benefits/total-reward/xerox-staff-access-online-benefits/100637.article

Xerox Speed Cameras in trouble
Both in Maryland and in Chicago they are questioning the reliability of the cameras. From the sounds of it, if you fight the ticket from a camera (if you can) you have a 50/50 chance of winning. http://www.equities.com/news/headline-story?dt=2012-11-28&val=760155&cat=tech http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2012-11-27/news/bs-md-sha-speed-camera-audit-20121127_1_camera-program-xerox-state-brekford-corp
