Catamaran Corporation (formerly SXC Health Solutions) is the former name of a company that now operates within UnitedHealth Group's OptumRX division (since July 2015). It sells pharmacy benefit management and medical record keeping services to businesses in the United States and to a broad client portfolio, including health plans and employers. Working independently of the government and insurance companies allowed it to operate as a third party verifier; the RxCLAIM online claim processing system allowed for prescription drug claims to be processed online if the customer lived in and filled his/her prescription in the United States. SXC had three separate but interrelated business segments which dealt with prescription drug programs. For 2013, 23% of company revenue came from Cigna Corporation.

Most of the company's growth came in 2008 when it doubled in size; between 2005 and 2010 revenue increased 3,400%. As a Canadian startup, the company received venture capital subsidies from the Canadian government in addition to private investments.  These subsidies allowed the business to grow initially and establish its business model in advance of its initial public offering, which was offered through the NASDAQ exchange in 2009.  The success of the mixed public and private approach in SXC's case has been called "perhaps the best example of the flexibility and the value added by the Canadian hybrid system."  In 2013 company revenue increased by 49% thanks to a full year of prescription claims at the Catalyst division, and additional volumes from newly acquired Restat. On March 30, 2015, it was announced that Catamaran will be acquired by OptumRx (A UnitedHealth Group company).

History
Systems Xellence (SXC), founded in 1993, was a Canadian company that first went public in 1995 when it joined the TSX. Six years later, in 2001, it acquired ComCoTec, an Illinois-based software business.  After going public on the NASDAQ stock market in 2006, the company shifted its headquarters from Milton, Ontario to Chicago, the city ComCoTec was based in.  SXC was one of the first companies to build technology used in pharmacy benefit management.

In February 2008, eight months after the company changed its name to SXC Health Solutions, it acquired National Medical Health Card Systems, Inc. (NMHC) for US$143 million in a move that doubled its size and workforce. It is now known as InformedRx, a division of SXC. On December 19, 2008, the company also acquired Zynchros, an eight-year-old Seattle-based formulary management business.

SXC purchased private company MedfusionRx, Inc on December 2, 2010 for $100 million.  Reasons for the acquisition include an interest in strengthening SXC's position in the speciality pharmacy market and improving cost cutting capabilities in the management of complex conditions and improving supportive care.  MedfusionRx provides voice messaging services to people in all 50 US states as well as other clinical services to over 9000 patients.  The messages have to do with medical treatment assistance including the delivery and refill reminders of medication and patient monitoring for people with chronic diseases.  It was founded in 2003 in Birmingham, Alabama.  Medfusion manages $270 million in drug spending.

In 2012, SXC agreed to buy rival Catalyst Health Solutions Inc. in a roughly $4.14 billion cash-and-stock deal. Shortly thereafter, SXC Health Solutions Corp. renamed the company, Catamaran Corp.

In 2015, health insurer UnitedHealth Group agreed to buy pharmacy benefit manager Catamaran Corp in a deal worth about $12.8 billion.

Business segments
SXC has three main business segments: InformedRx, Healthcare IT Group (HCIT), and Health Business Systems.

InformedRx is SXC Health Solution's pharmacy benefit management service. It deals with formulary administration, benefit plan design and management, pharmacy network management, drug utilization review, clinical services and consulting, reporting and information analysis, mail services and specialty pharmacy, and consumer web services.

Healthcare IT Group focuses on the technological aspects of the company. It includes the RxCLAIM, RxTRACK, and RxPORTAL customer interfaces, which support the electronic processing of prescriptions. It also includes pharmacy technology services (technology relied upon by application service providers), as well as Zynchros, a provider of formulary management tools.

Health Business Systems are management systems providers to retail, institutional or nursing home, and mail order pharmacy environments.

Customers
SXC Health Solutions has been used by various organizations, including Cigna, HealthSpring, PharMerica, TennCare, the Boston Medical Center HealthNet Plan, and Health Alliance of Michigan.

catamaran corporation is now part of what

Question: when did catamaran change its name to optumrx

Answer: 2015

SXC had three separate but interrelated business segments which dealt with prescription drug programs .

For 2013 , 23 % of company revenue came from Cigna Corporation .

OptumRx and Catamaran Corporation [NASDAQ: CTRX, TSX: CCT], a leading provider of pharmacy benefit management (“PBM”) services and technology solutions, announced today they have agreed to combine. OptumRx is UnitedHealth Group’s [NYSE: UNH] free-standing pharmacy care services business.
The agreement calls for the acquisition of Catamaran’s outstanding common stock for $61.50 per share in cash. The transaction is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2015, subject to Catamaran shareholders’ approval, regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. The combination diversifies OptumRx’s customer and business mix, while accelerating its technology leadership and flexible service offerings.
The acquisition is expected to be accretive to UnitedHealth Group’s net earnings in the area of $0.30 per share in 2016. UnitedHealth Group plans to finance the acquisition from existing cash resources and new debt. The company affirmed its $6.00 to $6.25 per share earnings outlook assuming the absorption of all merger costs, the ongoing commitment to advance its dividend policy as planned, and a continued but moderated level of share repurchase.
Upon closing, Mark Thierer, Catamaran’s chairman and chief executive officer, will serve as chief executive officer of OptumRx and Timothy Wicks, the current chief executive officer of OptumRx, will become president. Jeff Park, who currently serves Catamaran as executive vice president, Operations, will become the chief operating officer for OptumRx. Jeffrey Grosklags, currently the chief financial officer of OptumRx, will continue in that role.
OptumRx and Catamaran will create significant value for their combined customer base beyond the scale and enhanced service resulting from integration of their businesses. This combination is expected to create a dynamic competitor in the PBM market by combining the strengths of Catamaran’s industry-leading technology platform with the data and analytics capabilities of Optum. The combined company is expected to deliver an innovative and compelling consumer and payer services offering that will link demographic, lab, pharmaceutical, behavioral and medical treatment data to engage individuals to make better decisions as they seek the best, most effective care and improve compliance with pharmaceutical use and care protocols.
OptumRx’s advanced Clinical Synchronization approach connects pharmacy and care management systems, processes and teams to create deeper insights for higher quality, more consistent and compliant patient outcomes and savings for individuals and plan sponsors. Synchronization presents the entire patient health profile, rather than discrete pieces of an individual’s profile — a distinctive and critically important capability given the growth in U.S. spending on specialty pharmaceuticals.
Catamaran offers retail pharmacy network management, mail service pharmacy, pharmacy claims management and patient-centric specialty pharmacy services to a broad client portfolio, including health plans and employers, as well as health care information technology solutions to the industry. In 2015 Catamaran expects to fulfill more than 400 million prescriptions which, combined with OptumRx’s roughly 600 million annual scripts, will enable the combined entity to be a competitive force in the PBM industry. Enhanced purchasing and administrative improvements from the combination are expected to drive substantial value, with the majority of savings expected to directly benefit clients and individuals through reduced costs for prescriptions and enhanced pharmaceutical services.
Both companies have distinctive, rapidly growing specialty pharmacy services businesses. The combined organization will help customers manage the complex costs and outcomes as this portion of the pharmaceutical market expands from an estimated $100 billion in revenues in 2014 to potentially $400 billion annually by 2020.
Larry Renfro, chief executive officer of Optum said, “Catamaran’s capabilities are impressive and their leadership team has delivered the fastest growth in the industry. We believe the combination of the two companies will create a unique offering in the industry unparalleled by current participants. Optum’s longstanding business relationship with Catamaran as a technology partner means we operate on the same adjudication platform, simplifying integration and giving us confidence our combined organizations will quickly become an innovative force moving the pharmacy care services marketplace forward. We believe this combination will create significant value for health plan, government, third party administrator and employer customers and, most importantly, the individual consumers who depend on us for accurate, affordable and convenient pharmacy benefit products and services.”
Mark Thierer, chairman and chief executive officer of Catamaran, said, “Our Board of Directors carefully considered a variety of strategic options and unanimously concluded that this combination is clearly in the best interests of our shareholders. The creation of a differentiated, channel-agnostic delivery model will provide payers and individuals a broader portfolio of services and a deeper product offering while aggressively focusing on managing costs. Together, we believe we will have the talent, scale, technology resources and innovative spirit to build the most modern, effective and consumer-focused PBM in the history of the industry.”

In 2012 , SXC agreed to buy rival Catalyst Health Solutions Inc. in a roughly $ 4.14 billion cash - and - stock deal .

Shortly thereafter , SXC Health Solutions Corp. renamed the company , Catamaran Corp.

(Crain's) — SXC Health Solutions Corp. will rebrand itself as Catamaran Corp., now that it has completed a $4.4 billion deal to acquire Rockville, Md.-based competitor Catalyst Health Solutions Inc.
The Lisle-based company's new name was revealed in a research note published Tuesday by analyst Amanda Murphy of Chicago-based investment firm William Blair & Co.
SXC in the last six weeks has filed to trademark “Catamaran,” “C Catamaran” and “C Catamaran Stay Well Ahead,” according to records of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
An SXC spokeswoman would not confirm the name change Tuesday morning.
After the close of trading on Monday, SXC announced that the Catalyst deal had closed, creating the fourth-largest pharmacy benefits manager in the country by prescription volume, with combined annual revenue of $13 billion.
The company also said it was appointing two new directors to its board, including Harry Kraemer Jr., former CEO of Deerfield-based Baxter International Inc.
The combined company is expected to process more than 200 million prescriptions in 2012 and has said it hopes to reap $125 million in synergies from the merger, 80 percent of which will be realized by the end of 2014.
“We believe the Catalyst transaction represents a meaningful positive for the combined company's ability to compete going forward (both from a purchasing power/scale standpoint and ability to win future business in the 2014 selling season and beyond),” Ms. Murphy wrote in the research note.
Mr. Kraemer Jr. is an executive partner at Chicago-based private-equity firm Madison Dearborn Partners LLC and a board member of Evanston-based NorthShore University HealthSystem.
In addition to Mr. Kraemer, Steven Epstein, a Catalyst director since 2003, has joined the Catamaran board. A health care attorney, Mr. Epstein is a founder of Epstein Becker & Green P.C., a Washington law firm. He is on the board of several for-profit companies and serves as chairman of the Columbia University Law School Board of Visitors.
Curtis Thorne and Philip Reddon have resigned from the SXC board, the company said.
“The combination of SXC and Catalyst merges two highly successful, fast-growing enterprises to deliver the resources, skill and scale to solve the health care cost challenge,” CEO Mark Thierer said in a news release. “Together, we are able to chart a new course to deliver distinct advantages to all stakeholders.”
Mr. Thierer noted at an investor conference last month that the name change was afoot. He said at the time that the change was part of a shift in strategy in which the combined company would compete directly with the PBM industry's biggest players, Express Scripts Holding Co. and CVS Caremark Corp., for contracts with Fortune 500 employers.
Catalyst stockholders received $28 per share and 0.6606 of an SXC common share for each Catalyst share they own.

Answer: SXC Health Solutions Corp.

In 2015 , health insurer UnitedHealth Group agreed to buy pharmacy benefit manager Catamaran Corp in a deal worth about $ 12.8 billion .

(Reuters) - Health insurer UnitedHealth Group Inc UNH.N agreed to buy Catamaran Corp CTRX.OCCT.TO in a deal worth about $12.8 billion to boost its pharmacy benefit business as it competes with bigger rivals such as Express Scripts Holdings Co ESRX.O.
Pharmacy benefit managers (PBM) administer drug benefits for employers and health plans and run large mail order pharmacies, helping them get better prices from drugmakers.
As employers look to cut prescription costs on expensive drugs, the deal with Catamaran will give UnitedHealth’s pharmacy benefits unit, OptumRx, the scale to negotiate favorable prices from pharmacy companies.
U.S. drug prices rose 12 percent in 2014 due to a new treatment for hepatitis C that cost more than $80,000 but cured almost all recipients with few side effects. Another new class of drugs, to treat high cholesterol, is expected to hit the market in 2015 and has insurers worried about drug costs this year as well.
The purchase of Catamaran will increase UnitedHealth’s market share to 15 percent to 20 percent of the people who receive their drug benefits through pharmacy benefit managers, BMO Capital Markets analyst Jennifer Lynch said in a research note.
With a combined 1 billion scripts annually, UnitedHealth will be about the same size as current industry number two, CVS Health Corp CVS.N, she added.
Catamaran was formed after SXC Health Solutions and PBM Catalyst Health Solutions merged in 2012.
UnitedHealth’s offer of $61.50 per share represents a premium of 27 percent to Catamaran’s Friday close on the Nasdaq.
Catamaran’s stock was trading at $60.01 premarket on Monday, while UnitedHealth was up nearly 4 percent.
The deal “makes sense to us, but admittedly came much earlier than we expected,” Jefferies analyst Brian Tanquilut said in a research note.
“We had always viewed Catamaran as a compelling asset for companies looking for scale in the PBM sector such as Optum or Walgreens but expected Catamaran to grow the business much further before pursuing a sale.”
He added that the offer seemed adequate and he did not expect competing bids at this point.
The deal value is based on Illinois-based Catamaran’s total diluted shares outstanding as of Dec. 31.
The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2015 and add about 30 cents per share to UnitedHealth’s profit in 2016, the companies said.
Catamaran Chief Executive Officer Mark Thierer will be CEO of OptumRx and OptumRx CEO Timothy Wicks will become president.

Gary George Hallberg (born May 31, 1958) is an American professional golfer who has played on the PGA Tour, Nationwide Tour, and Champions Tour.

 Amateur career
Hallberg was born in Berwyn, Illinois. He attended Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and was a member of the golf team. He was a member of the 1977 Walker Cup team. In addition, Hallberg was the individual medalist at the 1979 NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championships. There were expectations that he would turn pro at this time. However, Hallberg asserted that he intended to return to Wake Forest for his senior year. Hallberg was the first four-time, first-team All-American in the history of intercollegiate golf. As of May 1979, Hallberg intended to try to qualify for the PGA Tour at Fall 1980 PGA Tour Qualifying School.

 Professional career
Hallberg was able to circumvent the PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament, however. He was the first player to obtain his PGA Tour card by winning a set level of money (in this case $8,000 in 1980) rather than by going to q-school.

Hallberg won three PGA Tour events during his career. He was PGA Tour Rookie of the Year in 1980. His best finish in major championships was a T-6 at both the 1984 PGA Championship and The Masters in 1985. At the 1991 Open Championship, Hallberg was tied for the lead after 36  holes before finishing T32. During his late forties, he played mostly on the Nationwide Tour, winning once.

Hallberg began playing on the Champions Tour in 2008 after turning 50. He won his first title in 2010 at the Ensure Classic at Rock Barn. He shot a final round of 11-under par 61 in the final round to come from behind and win by one over Fred Couples and by two over Bernhard Langer. The win made him the fourth player to win on all the PGA Tour sponsored tours (PGA Tour, Nationwide Tour, and Champions Tour).

Hallberg has also done some analyst work for CNBC and NBC Sports. He lives in Castle Rock, Colorado. Gary's son Eric is also a professional golfer who qualified for the PGA Tour's 2015 Frys.com Open, and has also qualified to play on the Korn Ferry Tour, PGA Tour Latinoamérica and PGA Tour Canada.

He won his first title in 2010 at the Ensure Classic at Rock Barn .

He shot a final round of 11 - under par 61 in the final round to come from behind and win by one over Fred Couples and by two over Bernhard Langer .

The Champions Tour heads to TPC Potomac at Avenel Farms in Potomac, M.D. for the fifth and final major championship of the season, the Constellation Energy Senior Players Championship. The tournament is the 23rd of 26 Charles Schwab Cup events and carries a purse of $2.7 million with $405,000 going to the winner. Double Charles Schwab Cup points are awarded this week, with the winner earning 810 points. Last year, Jay Haas came from five strokes back with a final-round 64 to claim a one-stroke victory over Tom Watson.
LAST WEEK
Gary Hallberg sank a 6-foot birdie putt on the final hole of the Ensure Classic at Rock Barn to tie the Champions Tour record for lowest final-round by a tournament winner. His 11-under-par 61 gave him a one-stroke victory over Fred Couples.
When Hallberg won the Ensure Classic he joined Ron Streck, Keith Fergus and Tom Lehman as the only four players to capture wins on the Nationwide Tour, PGA TOUR and Champions Tour.
Bernhard Langer remained in the leader in the Charles Schwab Cup race with 3,014 points and leads Couples by 644 points. Fred Funk is third with 1,555 points.
Bob Tway aced No. 9 at Rock Barn with a 6-iron from 186 yards. Tway had an ace earlier this year at the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf.
Langer, Kenny Perry and Nick Price will represent the Champions Tour at the 2010 Wendy's 3-Tour Challenge, to be contested November 9 at Rio Secco GC in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The 3M Championship donated a record contribution to charity this year -- in excess of $1.4 million to local charities. With that donation, the tournament eclipsed the $17.5 million dollar mark for total charity donations after 18 years. The 3M Championship now has a 20/20 vision -- to donate $20 million in 20 years.
At the Viking Classic on the PGA TOUR, Michael Allen finished second, three strokes behind winner Bill Haas, son of Champions Tour professional Jay Haas. Tom Pernice, Jr. missed the third-round cut. Allen (2009 Senior PGA Championship) and Pernice (2009 SAS Championship) both won in their Champions Tour debuts.
COMING UP
United States Ryder Cup team captain Corey Pavin, and assistant captains Lehman and Jeff Sluman are scheduled to compete at the Constellation Energy Senior Players Championship after a Monday finish at the Ryder Cup in Wales.
After three years at Baltimore Country Club's Five Farms East Course, the Constellation Energy Senior Players Championship moves to the TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm, which hosted a PGA TOUR event from 1987-2004 and again in 2006. Having reopened in the spring of 2009 after an extensive renovation of the golf course, practice facility and clubhouse, TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm was ranked No. 12 on GolfWeek's list of "Best New Courses for 2009."
The winner of this year's Constellation Energy Senior Players Championship receives an invitation to next May's PLAYERS Championship. Jack Nicklaus and Raymond Floyd are the only two players to have claimed a PLAYERS Championship and a Constellation Energy Senior Players title.
The Constellation Energy Senior Players Championship is the fourth-oldest event on the Champions Tour, and this year's championship marks the 28th playing of this tournament. Only the Senior PGA Championship (71 years), Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf (33 years) and the U.S. Senior Open (31 years) are older.
New Orleans rock band "Better Than Ezra" will help the tournament honor the military with a special musical appearance on Saturday of tournament week -- Military Appreciation Day.
The third annual TPC Potomac Birdies for the Brave event will be held on Monday following the Constellation Energy Senior Players Championship. Birdies for the Brave is the PGA TOUR's primary vehicle for supporting the brave men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families. The proceeds of this tournament go directly to numerous military foundations represented by several PGA TOUR and Champions Tour professionals.
The Caves Valley Golf Club will be the site of the sixth annual Bruce Edwards Celebrity Golf Classic on Monday, Oct. 4, 2010. Champions Tour professional Tom Watson and best-selling author John Feinstein will host the event. The Classic bene?ts the Bruce Edwards Foundation for ALS Research created in honor of Watson's long-time friend and caddie who passed away from the disease in 2004. To date, more than $3 million has been raised through this invitation-only event.
ON THIS DATE
10/5/97 -- Less than a month after playing bogey-free for 54 holes to win in Missouri, Hale Irwin does it again. Using a second-round 62, he edges Dave Eichelberger by one stroke at the Vantage Championship. His victory earns him a check for $225,000 and pushes his season earnings past the $2 million mark, the first Champions Tour player to do so.
10/6/02 -- Irwin birdies the first playoff hole to defeat Gary McCord and earn his fourth successive Turtle Bay Championship title. The win also allows him to tie Jack Nicklaus for most victories in the same event.
10/8/00 -- A closing-round 7-under-par 65 gives Jim Thorpe his first Champions Tour title, a three-stroke win over Bruce Fleisher at The Transamerica in Napa, CA. Win ends a victory drought of 14 years.
QUOTES TO NOTE
"I'm still stunned by it all" -- Hallberg, after capturing his first Champions Tour victory with a one-stroke win over Couples at the Ensure Classic at Rock Barn.
"It's hard to figure out. I guess it brings out the best in different people. I think the Ryder Cup intimidates some players and some guys thrive on it. I was always just kind of fired up. I loved everything about it" -- Lanny Wadkins, who played on eight Ryder Cup teams and was captain in 1995, shared his thoughts about the current crop of Ryder Cup players before last weeks event.
"Giving is something we generally don't do very easily, but jeez, it's incredible, the rewards. If I can play golf and it benefits someone else then it's easy to be there. That's a no-brainer" -- Mike Goodes, who recently hosted seven fellow Champions Tour professionals at his charity pro-am to raise funds and awareness for the Triad Youth Golf Foundation.

The Church of St Mark (also known as Holy Cross) in Mark, Somerset, England dates from the 13th century, but is mainly a 14th and 15th century building with further restoration in 1864. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building.

There may have been a chapel in the village from the 12th century however the current church was dedicated by William, Bishop of Bath and Wells in April 1268 as The Church of the Holy Cross. The title changed with a new dedication to St Mark in 1853 but reverted to the earlier dedication in 1939. The building was expanded over the subsequent centuries. The nave has a Barrel roof decorated with the heads of religious figures. In the Choir is a wooden sculpture of the Four Evangelists made by a Belgian sculptor named André in 1524 for St. Salvator's Cathedral in Bruges, which was moved in 1794.

The tower was built around 1407. It contains a peel of eight bells. The clock celebrates the jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1887.

The former market cross in the churchyard dates from the 15th century.

The parish is part of the benefice of Mark with Allerton within the Axbridge deanery.

Project Wyze was a Canadian rap metal band active from 1996 before breaking up in 2003 to pursue their side-project Dead Celebrity Status.

History
Emcees Yas Taalat and Bobby McIntosh started out as a hip hop duo under the name of Project Wyze in 1988 when they were teenagers in Sudbury, Ontario.Much Music Dead Celebrity Status While attending high school, Project Wyze established a reputable image in the underground hip-hop scene by opening for acts such as Dream Warriors, Maestro Fresh Wes and Michie Mee.Sweets Lyrics They were also one of the first Canadian groups to open for the American hip-hop group, Public Enemy.

The pair subsequently moved to London, Ontario after high school. In 1995, Yas and Bobby were invited to perform with a punk rock band.Much Music Project Wyze
The two groups decided to merge. The hip-hop group Project Wyze evolved into a rap rock band including members Adam Arsenault (guitar), and Tye Thomas (bass). The band started writing new music and they released their first EP, Trapz of Poetic Poison, on an indie label in 1996. Project Wyze toured the United States in 1998, performing with artists like Papa Roach and the Step Kings.

After the success of the first EP, the band enlisted the talents of Sasha Kosovic (guitar), Brad Dean (drums) and Elie Abdelnour (bass) to round out the line-up. In 2000, with the new band established, Project Wyze released a longer sophomore EP, Only If I Knew. Growing record sales and an expanding fan base grabbed the attention of major labels.  They subsequently signed to Sony Music and released their major label debut, Misfits.strangers.liars.friends, in 2001. That album spawned the Canadian hit singles "Nothing's What it Seems" and "Room to Breathe".  Their major label debut, misfits.strangers.liars.friends, was released in 2001."CD REVIEWS: Bjork, Slipknot, Grade and many more". Chart Attack, August 28, 2001.

After internal conflicts, members of the band started to disband. Yas and Bobby formed Dead Celebrity Status as a side project. It later became a main project in which both of the vocalists devote their time to.

If inspiration ends when an individual loses passion for what they are doing, then Yas, Bobby & D.J. Dopey will be making music until the day they die. The fiery forces behind Dead Celebrity Status have been making music since they were teenagers. What is so special about their sound is their refusal to become stagnant and their drive to continually grow as creators and people.
The seeds of Dead Celebrity Status were planted as far back as 1988. At the early ages of 12 and 13, Yas and Bobby discovered their true home on stage. Creating their first group Project Wyze, they quickly built a reputation as gifted lyricists and explosive performers.
Yas recalls those early days, "I remember being so young, and playing some of our first shows. It was like 1991, Fear of a Black Planet just dropped, and we were one of the first Canadian groups to play with the legendary Public Enemy. That was incredible."
It was experiences like these that impelled Yas and Bobby to become the innovative and imaginative artists that they have grown into.
"One of the things that I am most proud of," says Bobby, "is the diverse range of artists who we have been blessed to share the stage with. We went from Public Enemy to Warped Tour to an arena tour across the country with Ozzy Osbourne."
The years spent in Project Wyze were strewn with many hardships. These difficulties include touring across America in a dilapidated van with only enough money for one hamburger a day to being shot at in Cleveland.
It was during these trying times that Yas and Bobby began to conceive of a new vision for their music.
"Dead Celebrity Status grew out of boredom and unhappiness. For real, Yas and I were frustrated and tired of dealing with people who were not on the same page as us. DCS was an outlet, and a way of challenging ourselves again. It was a new beginning."
Despite their irrepressible inspiration, the bridge between Project Wyze and Dead Celebrity Status was not easily crossed. In fact, the band spent the past two years plagued with the politics and red tape of the music industry.
Notwithstanding their seemingly endless obstacles, Yas and Bobby began writing and recording what would later become DCS' debut album, "Blood Music" at the end of 2002.
However, one weapon shy, they called upon an old friend, a genius behind the turntables, DJ Dopey. Dopey had already acquired international acclaim as one of the world's premier DJ's, winning myriad battles. Most notably, in 2003, Dopey garnered the most coveted DJ title, winning the Technics World DMC Championship. Dopey muses, "When Yas and Bobby came to me to start this group I knew there was something special. We understand each others creative vision. It's a perfect fit."
With new life and a new vision, armed with World DMC DJ Champion, Dopey, Yas and Bobby stared their adversities in the eyes and focused their energy on their new project.
They quickly caught the attention of some high profile American producers, and while showcasing in LA, they garnered the interest of revered producer Danny Saber. Saber has worked with artists such as The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, U2, Busta Rhymes, Public Enemy, Black Sabbath and Jadakiss.
"From the moment we met him, we knew he was the obvious choice," Yas recalls. "There was mutual respect with Danny from day one. Having an understanding producer was an integral part of making an album we believed in."
During the summer of 2004, the band divided their time between Los Angeles, Toronto and Vancouver to record the album. It was during this period that they collaborated with some of the music industry's brightest and best.
Blood Music features guest appearances by Joss Stone, Dave Navarro and Steve Perkins of Jane's Addiction, Twiggy of Marilyn Manson and subsequently A Perfect Circle, DJ Lethal of House of Pain and Limp Bizkit and Bif Naked.
"All of the guests that appear on our album agreed to do it for the love of creating music, and not for money. We consider these people true artists and friends for life," Bobby reflects.
One can state with conviction that the most important story is the one that the music tells; the music should speak for itself, and DCS speaks volumes. Blood Music delivers an original dose of infectious melodies, seductive grooves and witty wordplay. It is an album born out of emotion and infused with honesty; an utterly candid cross section of the sentiments of its authors. Finally, it is an intimate look into the dark recesses of hip hop music.
Like the rising of the Phoenix, Yas and Bobby are reborn from the ashes of their past to bring Dead Celebrity Status to you and yours.
'Music is blood, blood is oxygen, breathe it in.'

Review By Keith Carman
It's been a long time since anything with the tag "punk" brought out this many vehement fans. A massive bill that provided plenty of bang for its buck, there were nary a sullen face at the pop-punker's installment of Edgefest. Of course, there was nary a face without braces or a pound of Clearasil, but every one of them was smiling like the cat that ate the rat.
The first of many bands that have been tearing the same page out of punk for a few years now, A Simple Plan worked hard to incite the smallish crowd that was filtering in. Quick songs with plenty of gusto echoed around the Amphitheatre to well-wishing (albeit far from ecstatic) fans. Still, theirs was a 100 per cent stronger response than that of local boys Project Wyze. The only rap-metal act on the bill, these dudes seemed rather out of place surrounded by Rancid and NOFX shirts, whereas their sound would generally be more comfortable amidst Slipknot and Limp... you know. Alas, the quintet plugged on and just might have swayed a person or two.
In rotation on MuchMusic and MTV, Washington, DC's Good Charlotte were certainly not strange faces to plenty of starry-eyed girls and boys in attendance. Donning coned mohawks, dirty t-shirts and dirtier pants, they portrayed the best street-punk image of the day. Unfortunately, they seemed to spend more time hooting and hollering at the crowd than actually playing their instruments. But after receiving a great response, no one really cared that songs were little more than alright.
A cult band by all means, Jimmy Eat World brought an element of the emo-esque to the pop-punk extravaganza. Intricate songs that work their dynamic angle about as heartily as the Pixies, their songs were tight, virtually flawless and jaw-dropping, even though the band stood motionless, while the fourth was busy thrashing about. Of course, the diehards were too busy air drumming to notice and the rest of the audience looked as though they were hit by a truck. I expect that sales of their latest album, Bleed American, are skyrocketing as you read this.
With antics that are growing a little long in the tooth, Sum 41 were everything anyone at a Blink-182 show could ask for. Only now it's getting sad. Merely a week prior, these four were tearing up Warped Tour, knocking down fans left and right, but at Edgefest, it was pretty much a "seen it, done it" affair. From the DeLonge-inspired potty mouths, to the borderline cliche jump-spinning, they really didn't do anything new. Running about and winking at girlies resulted in choppy playing. But although they've been riding the same wave for a few months now, the fans kept pushing it further. Kudos, boys.
As for New Found Glory, well, straight-up pop-punk was the order of the day. Polished songs that take a great deal from their SoCal ancestors. Good band, but not what these people were waiting for.
Hitting the stage with a bang, Blink-182 provided a set that was fun, asinine and juvenile, yet professional. Go figure ? they ARE more than just fart jokes. They play some kick-ass music as well, most notably drummer Travis Barker, whose fills and rolls would make Keith Moon drool. All in all, more than one person could be heard to state that Blink-182 played the same shtick from exactly one year ago, but this time, they didn't have the Cadillac drum riser. But it didn't stop them from falling in love with the band at the rock show.

Oil and Gold (1985) is the third full-length album by English musical group Shriekback, released on Arista Records in UK and Europe, Australia and New Zealand and on Island Records in the United States,Shriekback – Oil And Gold discogs.com, retrieved 20 May 2015

The album is widely considered the band's highest creative moment and saw them begin a metamorphosis from funk-influenced New Wave towards darker and challenging art rock. The addition of Martyn Barker on drums and Lu Edmonds on guitar gives many of the songs a harder edge, while the album also features synthesizers from Hans Zimmer, best known for his work in film music.Sound: Dialogue, Music, and Effects. Edited by Kathryn Kalinak, Rutgers University Press, 1 May 2015, Ch.5, p.120.

Oil & Gold served as a bridge between the founding trio of Barry Andrews, Carl Marsh, and Dave Allen, and a span of releases spearheaded by Andrews alone.  Marsh, whose voice featured prominently on earlier releases, left the band after the recording and Andrews took over as primary vocalist. Marsh would return with the release of Having A Moment, and remains involved with the band to the present day.  Still, the album's highlights, including the three opening songs, sung by Marsh, and the minor hit, "Nemesis", became the band's signature song. The album's success widened their audience significantly, and sold well in the U.S.About Shriekback, MTV, retrieved 05 June 2016 Both of the singles released from the album reached the Top 100 in the UK singles chart: "Nemesis" reached number 94 and "Fish Below The Ice" reached number 88.Shriekback full Official Chart History, Official Charts Company, retrieved 14 June 2016

Rustomji Homusji Mody, known to most as Russi Mody (17 January 1918 – 16 May 2014) was a chairman and managing director of Tata Steel and a leading member of the Tata Group.

Early years
Russi was born on 17 January 1918 in Bombay (now Mumbai) to a Parsi family. His father was Sir Homi Mody. His mother was Lady Jerbai Mody née Dubash. Russi had two brothers, Kali Homi Mody and Piloo Mody.
thumb|Russi Mody Centre Of Excellence
After a few years of schooling in India, he was sent to England for further studies. He studied at St Cyprian's School, Harrow School and later at Christ Church, Oxford. On his return to India he joined Tata Steel as an office assistant.

Russi was married to Siloo Mugaseth, the daughter of his mother's sister, and lived in Kolkata until his death.

Career
Mody joined Tata Steel in 1939 and he was promoted to the position of Director of Personnel in 1953. He took up the position of the Director of Raw Materials in 1965. In 1970, he was appointed Director of Operations and became Joint Managing Director in 1972.
He was the most generous Managing Director of Tata Steel Ltd. He started many rewards like giving of AC Maruti Suzuki 800 to all Divisional Managers of Tata Steel.
He never faced a strike at the Tata Steel Plant.

After retiring from Tata Steel in March 1993, the then Prime Minister of India, Shri P V Narasimha Rao appointed Mody as Joint Chairman of Indian Airlines and Air India.

Russi Mody Centre for Excellence, built by noted architect Hafeez Contractor that contains archives of the Tata Group, was named after him.

 Anecdotes
Hearsay has it that Russi Mody was pulled up by a policeman as he tried to park his car on the narrow road. Admonished with "Tumhara baap ka rasta hain kya?" ("Does this road belong to your father?") the young scion pointed in good humour to the road sign indeed printed with the distinguished paternal name.

He was also known to eat 16-egg omelette for breakfasts.

During his studies at Oxford, he happened to accompany Albert Einstein on the violin, while he played the piano.

Once, Sir Jehangir Ghandy was scheduled to come to Calcutta on a Wednesday afternoon when he would normally play tennis. In his diary lying on the table, he wrote, “TPT CSC meeting on Wednesday at 3 pm,” and told his secretaries to take Sir Jehangir to his room, show him the diary and say that Russi had gone to the meeting. True enough, Sir Jehangir came and was shown the diary. He nodded knowledgeably and walked away. Little did he know that TPT CSC was an abbreviation of “To Play Tennis at Calcutta South Club”.

Award
 Padma Bhushan (1989)

Death
Mody died during the night of 16 May 2014 at a private hospital in Kolkata.

Air India CMD post may be split
Ashwini Phadnis
New Delhi, Nov. 16 The post of the Chairman and Managing Director of Air India could be split into two. That is if the Ministry of Civil Aviation has its ways.
Official sources while confirming to Business Line that the Ministry was contemplating such a proposal refused to speculate on whether it would get the nod of the Government. “We have no comments to make just yet. The Government considers a number of proposals and we cannot comment on these,” a senior Government official said.
The move is being considered so as to provide continuity in decision making process after March next year when the current Chairman and Managing Director, Mr V. Thulasidas retires.
The implementation of the move would see executive powers being given to the Managing Director, while the Chairman would be the non-executive head of the Board.
The need for such a move is being felt as the new airline, which has been created by the merger of Air India and Indian, is currently poised at a crucial juncture as it is not only inducting 111 new aircraft, but is also undertaking a fleet review to decide on how many new aircraft it should acquire to meet growing traffic demand.
Besides, the airline is also facing problems as various sections of both airlines are unhappy with the decision to merge.
The practise of having a Chairman and Managing Director is not new to the airline. In 1994, the Narasimha Rao Government appointed Mr Russi Mody, the former Chairman of Tata Iron and Steel as joint Chairman of Air India and Indian Airlines with Mr P.C. Sen, a senior IAS official as Managing Director.

KOLKATA: Just above the tiny hallway, leading to large, plush rooms filled with paintings, sculptures and artefacts, hangs the replica of a tiger's head. Powerful and dominating â traits that best describe the man who lived at 5/1B, Belvedere Road. Russi Mody
, the man who wanted to be remembered as an "extraordinarily ordinary man", is fondly remembered by his friends and family as someone who was blessed with the quality to love others.
On Saturday morning, the stool in front of the grand piano at his drawing room overspread with blue pottery, was lying vacant. Frisko, the Dalmatian that stayed with him for many years, looked all around the house, perhaps for the man who was lying in peace at a morgue in a hospital here.
In another room, a large black & white photograph of Russi Mody was decorated with white lilies and roses. "He was fond of flowers, especially lilies and roses," said his nephew Jimmy Mody
, sitting at the corner of a room meticulously decorated with silver and crystal wares.
An avid reader of biographies of statesmen, Mody was most influenced by Napoleon Bonaparte. At his study room on the first floor is a large painting of the French emperor who loved to lead by examples. "Napoleon was his most favourite character and he would know everything about him. Napoleon's wars, his generals and his war strategies. And then leaders like Mcmillan, Roosevelt and Churchill...who were also his favourites," Jimmy said. There is a pattern in the characters he liked. During an interview, Russi Mody mentioned his fondness of Napoleon. "Napoleon was not a democrat, neither am I," he said on a lighter note.
"He has been my idol and once I asked him, what was the most important thing in life he felt and he said it is building a character. And of course from his life I also knew that he meant to face life with indomitable spirit, courage and conviction, regardless of the fact whether people liked him for it or not," Jimmy remembered.
Mody was blessed with "unbridled generosity", perhaps what he inherited from his parents especially his father "who would not even hurt a fly." Over the years Jimmy started idolizing him and the most important underlying quality was that of love. He could love people without any expectation...perhaps he discovered the true art of leading from the heart. "He was hurt with a lot of things (during his days with the Tata Group
)... he was hurt with Ratan (Tata) too, but he had forgiven him. In fact, I remember Ratan coming down for a lunch at the Belvedere Road residence," he recalled.
Jimmy said that Mody's body would be taken to Keoratolla crematorium around 11 on Sunday morning. His ashes will later be taken to Jamshedpur and buried in the place where his mother was cremated.
Mody, who called himself 'a barefoot manager', was always thorough about the way he managed his work. Well-versed and well researched, he would attend meetings and would do a homework about the issues that he would have to face before that. "But in front of those who used to attend the meets he would not show that and listen to them very carefully as if he was listening to that for the first time," Jimmy said. A quality to listen to others made him stand out among the officers of the Tata Group.
Fond of flashy and bright dresses, Mody wanted people to convey that he was not afraid of showing his love for life.
He rather enjoyed hanging out with young ones at discs or clubs. A connoisure of food, he was fond of cooking as well. Canned caviar used to be imported from the UK for him. "Whether it is a 16-egg omelette or prawn pathia, he was fond of any good food," Jimmy said.
The man, known for his frank gestures, never minced words when he spoke. "If he forgot your birthday he will come to you and apologize for that," Jimmy said.
"Jimmy, everyone thinks that I am an extraordinary man. When I go, I want to be remembered as an extraordinarily ordinary man," he told his nephew Jimmy Mody once. Russi Mody, who led Tata Steel for decades, was a man who "lived his life king size."

Death Mody died during the night of 16 May 2014 at a private hospital in Kolkata .

Kolkata: Russi Mody, former joint chairman of Air India and chief of erstwhile TISCO, died here following old age complications, sources said.
Modi, 96, died at a private nursing home near his South Kolkata residence Friday night.
Born in Mumbai Jan 17, 1918, Mody was a leading member of the Tata Group and served it in various capacities, later earning the sobriquet of India’s “Steel Man”.
Months after his retirement in 1993 as chairman of TISCO, now christened Tata Steel, Modi was appointed as joint chairman of Air India and the then Indian Airlines by erstwhile prime minister P.V. Narasimha Rao.
Recipient of the nation’s third highest civilian award Padma Bhushan in 1989 for his exemplary contribution to the Indian industry, the flamboyant Modi unsuccessfully contested the Lok Sabha election from Jamshedpur in 1998 as an Independent. He came second, getting about two lakh votes, but lost by a margin of over 97,000.
Son of an affluent Parsi couple Sir Homy Modi and Lady Jerby, Rustomji Hormusji Modi was educated at Harrow and Christ Church College, Oxford and joined TISCO as an office assistant upon his return to India.
He rose through the ranks to become the company’s director of personnel in 1953, and took up the position of director of raw materials in 1965. In 1970, he was appointed director of operations and became joint managing director in 1972. Two years later, Modi was made managing director, and in 1984 became chairman and managing director.
A keen sports enthusiast, Mody played a big role in setting up the Tata Football Academy in Jamshedpur in 1987.
Condoling his death, Tata Sons chairman emeritus Ratan Tata said Mody was an institution at TISCO.
“Under his leadership, the company grew significantly and he instituted many human resource initiatives,” he said.
Cyrus P. Mistry, Tata Sons group chairman, described Mody as a stalwart with an all-encompassing vision rooted in an enduring commitment to society. “He widened the company’s development initiatives for local communities and also to address larger national needs. Entities like the Tata Steel Rural Development Society and the Tata Football Academy bear testimony to this.”
