Mueller Water Products Inc., the maker of pipes and valves for water distribution and treatment centers, plans debt as corporate yields hover near record lows.
Mueller Water may sell $225 million of senior notes due in 2020, the Atlanta-based company said in an Aug. 16 statement.
Average yields on corporate bonds reached 4.84 percent yesterday, after touching 4.826 percent this week, the lowest since at least 1997, according to the Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. Corporate & High Yield Master Index, which goes back to that year.
Near-zero short-term government interest rates led to a misalignment of risk in sectors of the market like corporate bonds, which have a "huge tailwind," according to William Larkin of Cabot Money Management in Salem, Massachusetts.
"Yields have gotten so low that a lot of professionals are questioning the viability of the run-up in bond pricing," said Larkin, who helps manage $500 million in fixed-income assets. "I look at bonds and don't see how they could get more expensive."
The extra yield investors demand to own investment-grade debt instead of U.S. Treasuries fell 1 basis point to 188 basis points yesterday, according to the Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. Corporate Master Index. Yields fell to 3.83 percent from 3.84 percent, the index showed.
"It's very likely that we're going to start to see improving economic data towards the end of the year and into next, and you want to position yourself accordingly," Larkin said. "Buying in this market is a little dangerous."
Weekly Sales
Corporate sales fell 60.5 percent to $11.4 billion for the first three days of the week, from $28.7 billion in the similar period last week, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Choice Hotels International Inc., the franchiser of Comfort Inns and Econo Lodges, led yesterday's sales, issuing $250 million of 10-year notes. The debt yields 310 basis points more than similar-maturity Treasuries, Bloomberg data show.
Proceeds will be used to repay borrowings under a revolving credit line, the Silver Spring, Maryland-based company said in an Aug. 18 regulatory filing.
Spreads on high-yield, high-risk corporate debt decreased 4 basis points to 678 basis points yesterday, according to the Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Index. Absolute yields fell 4 basis points to 8.51 percent.
High-yield, or junk, bonds are rated below Baa3 by Moody's Investors Service and BBB- by Standard & Poor's. A basis point is 0.01 percentage point.
Mueller Water plans to use proceeds to help repay outstanding amounts under its existing credit facilities and related expenses, according to the statement.
S&P assigned the proposed notes a B+ rating, four levels below investment grade. Moody's ranked them an equivalent B1, saying the company's "credit metrics will remain weak in through 2011" in the report.
Following is a description of at least $3.98 billion of pending sales of dollar-denominated bonds in the U.S.

Not Rated

The company plans to begin meeting with investors in Asia, Europe and the U.S. on July 19, said the person who declined to be identified because terms aren't set. Moody's Investors Service assigned the proposed notes a Ba2, citing growing personal consumption in China, E-Land Fashion's moderate scale and significant business volatility. Proceeds will be used for mainly for capital expenditures and general corporate purposes, Moody's said in the report.

Twitter Rolls Out App Install & Engagement Ads Globally
Twitter, looking for a bigger piece of the lucrative mobile app install business, announced today the official global launch of its mobile app promotion suite.
The ad product, in beta testing with companies such as Lyft and EA for the last six months, enables the placement of promoted tweets that link directly to the iOS and Android app stores. Twitter users who click though can download the app immediately; those with iOS devices will get an install notification after the app is fully downloaded.
Such ads are becoming a staple of the digital marketing industry. They are a major contributor to Facebook's mobile advertising revenue, which kicks in 59% of the social network's total revenue. Twitter's mobile share of ad revenue was 80% in the first quarter. Google joined the app ad fray in April with new app install formats for search, YouTube and the Google Display Network.
Twitter's product uses its existing targeting capabilities, including interest, keyword, TV targeting and tailored audiences. "You can also layer on gender, geo, language and mobile platform targeting to pinpoint the users who are best suited for your app," Twitter wrote in a blog post.
Twitter also introduced a new pricing structure — cost-per-app-click — that charges advertisers only when a user clicks to visit one of the app stores or opens an app directly from Twitter.
More details are available at Twitter's official blog.
DON'T MISS OUT! The agenda for Marketing Land's SMX West search marketing show is now up. Search marketing is the biggest area of digital marketing. You can't afford to get it wrong!

Recently, I was working with Julie, a student of mine, coming from Rennes, on mortality tables. Actually, we work on genealogical datasets from a small region in Québec, and we can observe a lot of volatiliy. If I borrow one of her graphs, we get something like
Since we have some missing data, we wanted to use some Generalized Nonlinear Models. So let us see how to get a smooth estimator of the mortality surface. We will write some code that we can use on our data later on (the dataset we have has been obtained after signing a lot of official documents, and I guess I cannot upload it here, even partially).
DEATH <- read.table( "http://freakonometrics.free.fr/Deces-France.txt", header=TRUE) EXPO <- read.table( "http://freakonometrics.free.fr/Exposures-France.txt", header=TRUE,skip=2) library(gnm) D=DEATH$Male E=EXPO$Male A=as.numeric(as.character(DEATH$Age)) Y=DEATH$Year I=(A<100) base=data.frame(D=D,E=E,Y=Y,A=A) subbase=base[I,] subbase=subbase[!is.na(subbase$A),]
The first idea can be to use a Poisson model, where the mortality rate is a smooth function of the age and the year, something like
library(mgcv) regbsp=gam(D~s(A,Y,bs="cr")+offset(log(E)),data=subbase,family=quasipoisson) predmodel=function(a,y) predict(regbsp,newdata=data.frame(A=a,Y=y,E=1)) vX=trunc(seq(0,99,length=41)) vY=trunc(seq(1900,2005,length=41)) vZ=outer(vX,vY,predmodel) persp(vZ,theta=-30,col="green",shade=TRUE,xlab="Ages (0-100)", ylab="Years (1900-2005)",zlab="Mortality rate (log)")
The mortality surface is here
It is also possible to extract the average value of the years, which is the interpretation of the coefficient in the Lee-Carter model,
predAx=function(a) mean(predict(regbsp,newdata=data.frame(A=a, Y=seq(min(subbase$Y),max(subbase$Y)),E=1))) plot(seq(0,99),Vectorize(predAx)(seq(0,99)),col="red",lwd=3,type="l")
We have the following smoothed mortality rate
Recall that the Lee-Carter model is
where parameter estimates can be obtained using
regnp=gnm(D~factor(A)+Mult(factor(A),factor(Y))+offset(log(E)), data=subbase,family=quasipoisson)
predmodel=function(a,y) predict(regnp,newdata=data.frame(A=a,Y=y,E=1)) vZ=outer(vX,vY,predmodel) persp(vZ,theta=-30,col="green",shade=TRUE,xlab="Ages (0-100)", ylab="Years (1900-2005)",zlab="Mortality rate (log)")
The (crude) mortality surface is
with the following coefficients.
Here we have a lot of coefficients, and unfortunately, on a smaller dataset, we have much more variability. Can we smooth our Lee-Carter model? To get something which looks like
Actually, we can, and the code is rather simple:

Punisher: War Zone (2008)

Movie Info
Marvel Comics' vigilante character The Punisher gets another big-screen outing in this third film incarnation of the character, this time from Green Street Hooligans director Lexi Alexander. Fueled by revenge and aided by his trusted weapons expert, Microchip (Wayne Knight), vigilante Frank Castle (Rome's Ray Stevenson) turns the New York City streets red with blood as he takes down each and every member of the crime syndicate responsible for the death of his wife and two kids. As the law-appointed "Punisher Task Force" closes in on him, the antihero does battle with Billy Russoti (Dominic West), aka Jigsaw, a nickname given by him to reflect the disfigurement handed to him by Castle. With the help of his psychotic brother, Loony Bin Jim (Doug Hutchison), Jigsaw recruits the criminals of the city to band together to bring down The Punisher, using the wife (played by Dexter's Julie Benz) and daughter of a slayed FBI agent as bait. Art Marcum, Matt Holloway, and Nick Santora provide the screenplay for the Lionsgate release. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi … More

Critic Reviews for Punisher: War Zone
All Critics (102) | Top Critics (26) | Fresh (27) | Rotten (74) | DVD (3)
'Oh God, now I've got brains spattered all over me,' exclaims The Punisher's slippery inside man, Detective Soap. You may feel the same at the end of this messy, sadistic reboot of the Marvel comic-book series.
Hopefully it's three strikes and you're out for The Punisher, as this latest attempt at creating another comic book franchise will prove once and for all that maybe this character just doesn't deserve the big screen treatment.
At one point, the Punisher is asked who punishes him. The better question for those who made this inane bloodfest is: Why punish us?
The ultraviolent third stab at Marvel's homicidal vigilante is the best and closest to the source material.
Assuming you can appreciate the high level of gore and assorted sadistic weirdness, the action is satisfying and the dark story is close to the tone of its Marvel Comics source material.
A blithely depraved shoot-'em-up in which its glum protagonist cuts a retributive swath across a vast criminal underworld, Punisher: War Zone echoes back to the unthinking low-budget action movies of the 1980s.
The final damning verdict left by the American box office, whom far from raced out to see it, meaning takings of 8m leave Punisher: War Zone the lowest grossing Marvel adaptation to date.
...stands as the best offering out of Hollywood that Punisher fans could've hoped for.
One can assume another reboot will be in the offing after this monstrosity tanks at the box office.
Part '80s action movie, part gross-out horror, this guilty pleasure is Saw meets Rambo . . .
Unlike more high-powered Marvel heroes like Spider-Man and X-Men, The Punisher has never enjoyed much box office success and this excruciatingly terrible film certainly won't change that.
Earning an 18 certificate with its violence, the film is kids' stuff in all other respects: over-the-top shootouts, monstrous and barking-mad villains, a bumbling sidekick and so on. Highly enjoyable tosh.
The IQ is as low as the body count is high and the uncharismatic Ray Stevenson might as well have been wearing a mask for all the emotion he shows.
You couldn't call it shoddy, exactly, and the actors take it painfully seriously; it's just dispiriting to see all this endeavour in the service of something so humourless and disgusting.
The punishment doesn't end there, with anyone who hands over good money to watch this dreck also likely to feel the pain.
Another violently unsuccessful attempt to bring this comic book character to screen.
Pleasantly surprising - providing you're not put off by all the gore and dismemberment.
Castle/the Punisher is not the most charismatic comic book hero at the best of times but Stevenson's jowly pallor and oil slick of hair makes him look more like an Eastern European abattoir worker than a vigilante to be reckoned with.
The franchise simply can't compete with better written and directed comic book offerings out there. This includes Howard The Duck...
Marvel, stop punishing yourselves and put this unworkable franchise out of our misery.
As entertaining as Punisher: War Zone is, there's no real depth, the plot is obvious and it's a wee bit charmless.
This is as true to a Marvel comic tale as I've ever seen - gory, serious, intense, dark and utterly psychotic.
Audience Reviews for Punisher: War Zone
A mere four years after the 2004 Punisher film, we get the release of this little film, which, like the 2004 entry, is another reboot.
Well, I say reboot, but it also feels like a quasi sequel at times, even though it ultimately sets out on its own course. Why they felt the need to reboot things so soon is beyond me, though.
This time around, not only do we get the standard plot of Castle waging a war on crime vigilante/guerrilla style, we finally get the inclusion of Castle's tech support sidekick Microchip, as well as the source material villains Jigsaw and Loony Bin Jim.
To start, this film, simply put, looks great. The production values are outstanding. I think they sometimes went a bit too overboard with the neon, but it does at least give the film a distinctive look and style. There's a tight pace, and, when it comes to the violence, this film really delivers the goods, getting quite graphic and gory at times, Whereas the 2004 version focused more on the drama and tactical side, this one goes all in on the brutality aspect, no doubt pleasing those who weren't fond of the 2004 one. And while I do think the violence is a highlight of this one, I think that maybe they put too much focus on it, and as a result, the film feels like the violence is the main point of things, and only there for the sake of it.
I do have to give props to the fact that there's a woman at the helm for such a balls-to-the-wall actionfest, as too few women are present in the world of action films. Lexi Alexander proves she can hold her own with this type of stuff, but unfortunately, this film suffers from the lack of a great script, or any kind of meaningful depth and substance.
Given the material though, the film is well cast and features some passable acting. I enjoyed Tom Jane's work, but I think that Ray Stevenson, so far, has done the best as Frank Castle/The Punisher. It's also nice seeing Wayne Knight back on the big screen, though it seems he once again disappeared after making this one. Dominic West and Doug Hutchison are also fine as Jigsaw and Loony Bin Jim, respectively.
My only hope is that if another of these films is made, they make it a direct sequel, keep Stevenson in the lead, keep the level of violence/gore from this movie, add in the drama and intensity from the 2004 film, use the gritty aesthetics and tone from the 1989 film, either keep Alexander as director, or get someone like John McTiernan to helm it, and get someone like Garth McInnes or anyone else who wrote the comics to pen the script. If all of that is done, then there might finally be a Punisher film that is 100% in every way like the comics.

Second reboot for this troublesome franchise and this time they finally get the casting right. Ray Stevenson is brought in as the main man and in my opinion he looks spot on for the role, kudos to the casting team.
As for the film well its a bit weak in plot really, very straight forward, very basic, how can I put this...its like Tim Burton's Batman accept replace the 'Joker' with 'Jigsaw' and add extreme violence. Sooooo bottom line I fudging like it baby!. The origins are skipped for this entry which is good, we get flashbacks but that is acceptable, we don't need all the family massacre stuff again.
The film gets right into the action with easily the best sequence of the film. A mansion full of mob bosses and henchmen cannon fodder ripe for the Punisher to exterminate. This one sequence is a pure joy to watch for action aficionados, the lights go out and our antihero appears from nowhere, he then proceeds to gun down everyone in sight with a few neck snaps and knife kills thrown in.
From then on its into the traditional and dated yet still workable plot line of a particular mob boss getting horribly disfigured whilst at the same time thought to be dead, only to come back for revenge. So its pretty much the plot line for the Joker completely copied, well you could say the same thing for almost all the Batman villains really.
First impressions for the Punisher are good, his outfit has been changed and upgraded with some heavy military police style body armour including a thick collar section, a mass of highly top of the line weaponry and his skull logo remains intact emblazoned upon his chest piece. He pretty much looks like he's just stepped out of a SWAT armoury and its the perfect look in my view. Its up to date and would be a realistic take on what someone would wear if this were a real situation. The black leather biker look is gone, that's the more fantasy based look.
Twas amusing when Castle blasts a bad guys face off with a big shotgun whilst at the same time holding this little girl. If that doesn't mess her up later on in life nothing will.
The bad guy is also highly enjoyable played by Yorkshire born Sheffield lad Dominic West. I was very impressed with his Noo Yawk dialect (hard thing to achieve) and with the sadistic humour he gave to his character Jigsaw. I'm trying not to mention a certain Batman villain here but one does tend to think of him whilst watching this film. I mean lets be frank here (no pun intended), this could easily be a Batman flick if your replaced Castle with Wayne and Jigsaw with the Joker, I think we'd all like to see a really sadistic violent Joker.
The film can't quite keep up the pace for the full run time I gotta admit, the finale is a bit anti climatic. The whole idea is very cliched really, Jigsaw goes off to recruit lots of thugs from various quarters (Chinese, Irish and blinged up black gangsters), they all hole up in Jigsaw's hideout and await Castle. It all feels a bit 'Batman Forever-ish' with all these different gangs, half expected the interior of Jigsaw's lair to light up in neon when the battle started.
So yes the whole idea for this film is pretty dated, its very cliche, very 80's, but I don't think that's a bad thing I really don't. I still can't quite understand why this flopped as its a fast paced, nasty gunfest with Castle kicking ass, what more do people want?. For me this is the best version of the Punisher so far.
Anyone else think West's performance as Jigsaw kinda looked and sounded like Al Pacino? seriously is that just me??. The more I think about it the more I think Pacino would have been great in that role, Castle vs Scarface.

Wait a minute, the original Punisher was a cheesy 80's action film that had little to do with the comics, the remake had a big name cast but a terrible story and again, had little to do with the comic. Punisher:War Zone, the sequel to the remake should be worst of all right? Well, it's not. Not at all in fact. It's got the story right, it's got the feel right. Ray Stevenson is a believable Frank Castle. Wayne Knight looks just like Microchip! (It's also great to see him in film again). Dash Mihok is Martin Soap, Doug Hutchison is great as Loony Bin Jim but it is Dominic West who steals the show as Jigsaw. He relishes the the opportunity and the freedom that wearing a mask can give you. The film is action packed and quite violent and gory, just like the comics. It's a pretty good adaptation and I'm sure hard core fans must be happy. I thought it ticked all the boxes for what it is and then some. More please.More

As far as the Punisher films are concerned, this film has got to be the most accomplished, action packed and over the top film of three films. This is a pure pop corn flick, one that has a pretty decent story, but never anything great. However this film delivers a solid hour and a half of thrills that any Punisher fan will love. For my money, Warzone is a much better film that the version with Thomas Jane. I find that Ray Stevenson was a perfect Frank Castle, and he definitely brought a melancholic intensity to the role. That was something that lacked in the 2004 version. This is a flawed, but very entertaining film; Warzone delivers something that previous Punisher films didn't. This film has some very eccentric villains, which make the film that much an exciting action romp. In my book, this is the same category as The Expendables. Short on a great plot, and good acting, but delivers on great action. Of all the Punisher films that have been made, this is the best one that has yet to be made. As far as superhero films are concerned, this is hands down the most violent film that I've seen and it is just a nonstop thrill ride from start to finish. Don't watch Punisher: Warzone expecting brilliant acting and a top-notch story, you won't find it. However if you're looking for one killer action film that succeeds with delivery what you want in an action film, then this is one to check out. The film has its flaws, but the awesome action makes up for it, and for Punisher fans looking for the definitive Punisher film, then this may be that film. I certainly enjoyed this more than the previous two films, and Ray Stevenson is simply a more intense and brutal Punisher compared to Thomas Jane and Dolph Lundgren. Strap in for a wild ride that is lots of fun from beginning to end. My personal favorite of the three Punisher films. This one succeeds where the others missed the mark.More

Bro-mantic gift
Brother-in-law's home-built sidecar gives Bedford man a taste of freedom
The two brothers-in-law used to enjoy doing many things together, but when Brown was diagnosed with primary lateral sclerosis, things began to change.
"I started showing symptoms in 2000 and have slowly progressed from there. I started using a Rollator walker in the fall of 2004 and began using a wheelchair in 2009," said Brown. "PLS has also taken my speech. I lost it gradually over the last three years. I use a speech program on my iPad to speak. The speech is the toughest thing to deal with for me."Lavoie said he's a tinkerer and soon figured out a way to help his friend enjoy life as much as possible.
"I thought, 'Why does everyone else get to go for a ride and not him?'," said Lavoie. "I'm a closet inventor of sorts and instead of watching TV, this was my science project."
"Scott is a great engineer and fabricator. I love him like a brother. He's the brother I never had," said Brown. "He enjoys building different stuff and this was a big challenge. It took him a year to work all the bugs out of it. The whole family knew about it and kept it a secret."
"I took the stairs down and built an elevator so he can change floors," said Lavoie. "I can't cure what he's got but I can make it easier for him. He's a great guy and has a great laugh. He deserves everything because he deals with this every day. He keeps a positive attitude and I try to support that. He's my hero."

Comment posted RIP Helensburgh town centre: Waitrose out of town location approved by Robert Wakeham.
Too right that 'no one wants to see Helensburgh die on its feet', but could there be other factors involved in the decline of the town centre? Only last week the boss of Sainsburys (probably aiming at the planners) suggested that town centres abandoned by the retail sector should concentrate on residential uses, and – however brutal and self-serving that suggestion – he was probably right, for some places. Maybe this will be a wake-up call for Helensburgh – it's slightly off the beaten track, maybe not much more than a Glasgow commuter suburb disguised as a town? – and unfortunately has become cut off from fellow communities on the shores of the lower Clyde. That's the impression I get, as an outsider.
Robert Wakeham also commented
- It's surely unlikely that Waitrose – despite its 'value' range – will put the town centre Co-op out of business, isn't it?
- So what does the Co-op need to do to improve its service – and doesn't Helensburgh support a reasonable deli in the town?
- A 'Helensburger'? – now there's an idea.
- I wonder whether 'mitgation' acted as the proverbial carrot?
- It's easy to grump about the Co-op, but despite the muttering it does serve Argyll pretty well – and I don't think I'm imagining it to say that it's improved its 'offer' steadily over the years

Spring in November
While on a short trip to the southern hemisphere we had the opportunity to collaborate with some very talented photographers, stylists & models. Below are some pictures of the first of the collaborations. This particular shoot took place in Soho, Palermo, Buenos Aires where the renown photographer Facundo Bengoechea has his studio. The masterminds behind the styling were Loli Echevarria Cohen and Vir Greco. They used a mix of vintage and new pieces to create the looks. Please leave a comment if you like their style :) Finally, the beautiful Argentinian model is Agostina Zanlungo. Very cool and mysterious chic!!!
Hope you like this post and a couple more to follow from South America

Holiday Fun with BCBG
The BCBG MAX AZRIA Champagne Party in San Francisco was a smashing success. After-all there was free flowing champagne and colorful macarons. What more could a girl want? We were able to preview the new holiday line which was a treat for the eyes. The collection included bright colors (reds, yellows and pink) and a combination of textures like leather and lace. What ever look you are going for this coming season, lovely in lace or edgy in leather, BCBG has you covered on either side of the spectrum. A big thank you to hosts of the event, great job BCBG store ambassadors!

These posters were left in an office building in Dallas which was once a print shop; now home to a Cardiology group. The posters, found in a storage room, were given to a medical instruments field service engineer as thanks for services rendered to the group's cardiology equipment.
Printed by "FunKit" as an oversized fluorescent ink silk-screen, a three dimension window to the world rendered on paper is revealed under black light. The show was put on by a small local promoter named Middle Earth Productions.
