“VIR is committed to making our facility a leader in ‘green’ racing, and we rely on a number of Safety-Kleen products, now including EcoPower, to help us achieve that goal.”
EcoPower is re-refined engine oil from Safety-Kleen, the largest collector and re-refiner of used oil in North America. EcoPower is re-refined using a process that consumes up to 85 percent less energy than refining motor oil from crude oil. The result is engine oil that meets or exceeds all North American standards for engine protection, such as API and SAE, while reducing the country’s dependence on foreign oil.
The move to EcoPower oil is part of a larger effort to make the track, one of Car and Driver’s Top 6 tracks in the U.S., function in a way that is more environmentally responsible. Under the arrangement, VIR is using various grades of EcoPower in more than 65 vehicles, including emergency vehicles, on-track maintenance trucks and off-track all-terrain vehicles, heavy equipment, motorized carts and even motorized lawn equipment. The track switched to EcoPower beginning in August.
“Using a high-quality, environmentally responsible product like EcoPower in all of our vehicles at the track just makes sense,” said Kerrigan Smith, director of track operations at VIR. “VIR is committed to making our facility a leader in ‘green’ racing, and we rely on a number of Safety-Kleen products, now including EcoPower, to help us achieve that goal.”
“EcoPower helps race tracks across the country make their facilities more responsible,” said Curt Knapp, Safety-Kleen’s senior vice president and chief marketing officer. “We’re proud to be a part of VIR’s sustainability efforts. By choosing EcoPower for their vehicle and equipment fleet, they’ve chosen a product that requires no new crude oil to be produced, since it’s recycled and refined from reclaimed motor oil. That’s a major step in reducing the track’s carbon footprint.”
About EcoPower®
EcoPower is more than just engine oil. It is part of a much bigger effort by Safety-Kleen, the largest collector and re-refiner of used oil in North America. In 2011, Safety-Kleen collected approximately 200 million gallons of used oil. EcoPower doesn’t just conserve resources, it protects them by keeping used motor oil out of our land and groundwater, making it truly an oil change for the better. For more information about EcoPower, please visit www.ecopoweroil.com.

“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation”
A condition to the sale of its interests was the right to purchase certain collateral held by CDO X. This collateral includes eight securities with a face amount of $101 million. The Company purchased the securities for 49.4% of par, or approximately $50 million. Following this purchase, the net proceeds of the sale were approximately $80 million.
Kenneth Riis, the Company’s CEO said: “We were able to structure a very positive transaction for the Company, which highlights our ability to actively manage our CDOs and extract value for our shareholders. This transaction allowed us to monetize the CDO, while retaining collateral at attractive returns. The Company’s future equity cash flows and principal recoveries from its interests in CDO X were subordinate to $1.12 billion face amount of senior notes and highly sensitive to the ultimate performance of the $1.30 billion of underlying collateral. By eliminating the uncertainty of our recovery, this transaction has enhanced the Company’s risk profile. We intend to invest the remaining proceeds using little or no leverage, with the goal of generating higher cash on cash returns than holding CDO X to maturity.”
CDO X is the second CDO liquidated by the Company over the past two years. The Company currently manages five other CDOs, and the underlying collateral has an aggregate face amount of approximately $2.42 billion as of June 30, 2012.

Since 2000, K&T has pioneered the representation of High Net Worth (“HNW”) and Ultra-HNW clients who sustained investment losses as a result of holding large concentrated positions in a single security or sector, in a full-service brokerage account. The clients we represented and continue to represent include founders of public companies and key employees from virtually every industry who received large grants of stock, Rule 144 restricted stock or stock options. The claims, filed in the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) Arbitration Department f/k/a NASD and NYSE, focused on the mismanagement of the clients’ portfolios given the fact that there were risk management strategies that would have protected the value of the concentrated portfolio. Such risk management strategies include stop loss and limit orders, protective puts and collars. Stop loss orders, limit orders and protective puts provide an account with downside protection and an exit strategy should the stock decline in value. A hedge strategy, known as a “zero cost” collar, would have created a range of value that the portfolio would have maintained irrespective of the fluctuation and direction of the underlining stock price. The failure to use risk management strategies as well as the failure to “hedge” the value of a concentrated portfolio directly exposes an investor’s concentrated position to the fluctuations in the volatile securities markets.
The attorneys at K&T are dedicated to pursuing claims on behalf of investors who have suffered substantial investment losses. K&T, an experienced, qualified and nationally recognized securities litigation law firm, practices exclusively in the field of securities arbitration and litigation. If you wish to discuss this announcement or sustained losses of $750,000 or more as a result of holding a concentrated position in James River Coal Co. stock in a full-service brokerage account, please contact Steven D.

Specifically, the distribution system investment charge (DSIC), used by the water companies in the state since 1997, is under the new law expanded to electric and gas utilities. Fitch estimates that eight public electric and gas utilities in Pennsylvania with a consolidated distribution rate base of approximately $10 billion will qualify to apply for the DSIC in 2013. Additionally, the bill also allows for a fully projected future test year.
Fitch believes these mechanisms will meaningfully reduce regulatory lag thus alleviate pressure on capital structure and credit metrics, and enhance accessibility to capital markets.
The greater rate assurance brought about by the legislation could be offset partially by reduction of authorized returns. Fitch expects the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission to more closely scrutinize the rate of returns at the utilities as a way of enforcing investment prudency and cost control to protect consumer rights.

The affirmation of IPCC's ratings is based on Infinity's historically strong underwriting results, quality balance sheet characterized by strong capitalization, and adequate loss reserving levels. Offsetting these positives are negative trends in IPCC's profitability and its business concentration in the California auto market, which represents approximately 50% of net written premiums.
Infinity is one of the largest non-standard auto insurance companies in the country. The average non-standard automobile consumer is more likely to be affected by broader negative economic issues than the standard or preferred automobile consumer; this can impede customer retention or impact premium growth.
Fitch notes that the new $275 million debt issuance will be IPCC's only outstanding debt offering as the company will use these proceeds to pay off the existing $195 million in debt that matures in February 2014 early, with the balance used for general corporate purposes.
As of June 30, 2012, Infinity's financial leverage ratio was 23.4%; however, pro forma financial leverage increases to 29% as the company is increasing their debt obligation by approximately $80 million. Fitch notes that earnings-based interest coverage for the first half 2012 was 3.3x. Fitch anticipates that this new debt issuance will modestly increase interest expense as the incremental amount offsets the 50 basis point reduction in interest rates.
Fitch highlights that current ratings have a sustained financial leverage expectation of 30% or lower and a sustained earnings-based interest coverage of 3.5x or higher. Failure to maintain these metrics could lower current ratings.
Infinity reported a GAAP underwriting combined ratio of 99.5% for first half 2012, up slightly from first half 2011's 99.1%. On an accident year basis IPCC's first half 2012 result was 99.2% compared to first half 2011 results of 99.1%. Fitch notes that IPCC has grown premiums in recent years and that there is an inverse relationship between profitability and premium growth. IPCC's management is actively pursuing rate increases to offset this negative trend but Fitch does not anticipate a material reduction in the combined ratio in the near term.
While Fitch believes a ratings upgrade in the near term is unlikely, the following is a list of key rating triggers that could lead to an upgrade:
--A more diverse geographical premium distribution while simultaneously maintaining disciplined underwriting and profitability;
--A permanent increase in capitalization that is consistent with higher rated categories.
The following is a list of key rating triggers that could lead to a downgrade:
--A GAAP accident year combined ratio above 99% for a sustained period of time;
--A sustained increase in financial leverage above 30% or a decrease in earnings-based interest coverage of 3.0x or lower;
--An increase in the company's statutory net leverage of 4.5x or higher;
--A negative legal or political action associated with either the nonstandard auto market or IPCC's marketing strategy of targeting the Hispanic market that damages Infinity's brand image.
Fitch has assigned a 'BBB' rating to the following debt issuance:
Infinity Property Casualty Corp.
--$275 million 5.0% senior unsecured note due 2022 at 'BBB'.
Fitch has affirmed the following ratings:
Infinity Property Casualty Corp.
--IDR at 'BBB+'; Stable Outlook;
--$195 million 5.5% senior unsecured note due 2014 at 'BBB'.

“A Sound Mind in a Sound Body”
Dropping over a half ounce, it becomes the lightest GEL-Kayano ever, weighing in at 10.9 ounces for the men’s version and 8.9 ounces for the women’s. New lightweight upper materials and seamless overlay construction contribute to both the impressive weight savings and improved upper fit. The new support-specific Guidance Trusstic System® has also been introduced in the GEL-Kayano 19. Working with Guidance Line® technology to enhance gait repeatability, this feature comes with the added benefit of weight reduction.
The GEL-Kayano 19 has a redesigned upper with upgrades to create a more personalized fit and improved comfort. The Biomorphic Fit® Upper is constructed entirely of breathable four-way stretch mesh that wraps both sides of the foot, creating a softer and more accommodating fit. The Personal Heel Fit (P.H.F.™) has been reengineered with two layers of memory foam that hold the athlete’s heel more secure and reduces the potential for friction.
“GEL-Kayano is an established shoe for serious runners, and we are continually striving to deliver compelling enhancements,” says Brice Newton, Running Footwear Product Manager. “The newest GEL-Kayano 19 is no exception, displaying the latest innovations to enhance the fit and feel for runners.”
Better than ever, the new GEL-Kayano 19 will be available at specialty running retail stores on November 1, 2012 and nationwide in January 2013 with a suggested retail price of $150.
Anima Sana In Corpore Sano, meaning “A Sound Mind in a Sound Body,” is an old Latin phrase from which ASICS is derived and the fundamental platform on which the brand still stands. The company was founded more than 60 years ago by Kihachiro Onitsuka and is now a leading designer and manufacturer of running shoes, as well as, other athletic footwear, apparel and accessories. For more information, visit www.asics.com. |
The stripe design featured on the sides of ASICS® shoes is a trademark of ASICS Corporation and is a registered trademark in most countries of the world.

“But credit spreads are nowhere near their pre-crisis low and are, in fact, at pretty reasonable levels from an historic perspective given the low default rates the market has been experiencing.”
“The FOMC has kept the Central Bank winning streak alive with its announcements today,” said Rodilosso. “Bernanke’s announcement did not exceed the market expectations; in fact, the scope of additional purchases does not include Treasuries as some analysts had expected. However, we are confident that the prospect of low interest rates into mid-2015, which is way beyond the investment horizon of the vast majority of investment managers, may help to sustain demand for risky assets, including high yield debt.”
Rodilosso went on to add, “There are definitely sobering aspects to this story as the very need for this monetary stance is obviously a symptom of a very sick economy, especially in the area of job creation. And it is jobs, rather than the very remote prospects of another housing boom or the wealth effect of rising equity prices, that will get U.S. consumers driving the U.S. economy back to a more acceptable level of growth. But I still see corporate debt, on a global basis, as a relatively attractive alternative to Treasuries, European sovereign debt and even emerging markets hard currency sovereign debt.”
“Yields are indeed low on a historic basis,” he added. “But credit spreads are nowhere near their pre-crisis low and are, in fact, at pretty reasonable levels from an historic perspective given the low default rates the market has been experiencing.”
Mr. Rodilosso has more than 20 years of senior level experience in emerging markets, high-yield debt research and portfolio management. He currently manages seven Market Vectors fixed income ETFs, Fallen Angel High Yield Bond ETF (NYSE Arca: ANGL), International High Yield Bond ETF (NYSE Arca: IHY), Emerging Markets High Yield Bond ETF (NYSE Arca: HYEM), Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond ETF (NYSE Arca: EMLC), LatAm Aggregate Bond ETF (NYSE Arca: BONO), Renminbi Bond ETF (NYSE Arca: CHLC) and Investment Grade Floating Rate ETF (NYSE Arca: FLTR).

The Market Vectors family currently totals $23.6 billion in assets under management, making it the fifth largest ETP family in the U.S. and eighth largest worldwide as of June 30, 2012.
Market Vectors ETFs are sponsored by Van Eck Global. Founded in 1955, Van Eck Global was among the first U.S. money managers helping investors achieve greater diversification through global investing. Today, the firm continues this tradition by offering innovative, actively managed investment choices in hard assets, emerging markets, precious metals including gold, and other alternative asset classes.

There are risks involved with investing in ETFs, including possible loss of money. Shares are not actively managed and are subject to risks similar to those of stocks, including those regarding short selling and margin maintenance requirements. Ordinary brokerage commissions apply. Debt securities carry interest rate and credit risk. Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise and vice versa. Credit risk is the risk of loss on an investment due to the deterioration of an issuer's financial health. The Funds' underlying securities may be subject to call risk, which may result in the Funds having to reinvest the proceeds at lower interest rates, resulting in a decline in the Funds' income.
The Funds, as they invest in high yield securities, may also be subject to a greater risk of loss of income and principal than higher rated securities. Investments in emerging markets securities are subject to elevated risks which include, among others, expropriation, confiscatory taxation, issues with repatriation of investment income, limitations of foreign ownership, political instability, armed conflict and social instability. The prices of high yield securities are likely to be more sensitive to adverse economic changes or individual issuer developments than higher rated securities. The secondary market for high yield securities may be less liquid than the market for higher quality securities and, as such, may have an adverse effect of market prices of certain securities. As the Fund may invest in securities denominated in foreign currencies and some of the income received by the Fund will be in foreign currency, changes in currency exchange rates may negatively impact the Fund’s return. Investments in emerging markets securities are subject to elevated risks which include, among others, expropriation, confiscatory taxation, issues with repatriation of investment income, limitations of foreign ownership, political instability, armed conflict and social instability. Investors should be willing to accept a high degree of volatility and the potential of significant loss. For a more complete description of these and other risks, please refer to the Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus. The Fund may loan its securities, which may subject it to additional credit and counterparty risk.
The “net asset value” (NAV) of an ETF is determined at the close of each business day, and represents the dollar value of one share of the ETF; it is calculated by taking the total assets of an ETF subtracting total liabilities, and dividing by the total number of shares outstanding. The NAV is not necessarily the same as an ETF's intraday trading value. Investors should not expect to buy or sell shares at NAV. Total returns are based upon closing “market price” (price) of the ETF on the dates listed.
Fund shares are not individually redeemable and will be issued and redeemed at their NAV only through certain authorized broker-dealers in large, specified blocks of shares called “creation units” and otherwise can be bought and sold only through exchange trading. Creation units are issued and redeemed principally in kind. Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV in the secondary market.
Investing involves substantial risk and high volatility, including possible loss of principal. Bonds and bond funds will decrease in value as interest rates rise. An investor should consider the investment objective, risks, charges and expenses of the Fund carefully before investing.

“filed a voluntary petition for a chapter 11 business reorganization in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Texas.”
If you purchased shares of Valence during the Class Period, and wish to discuss this action or have any questions concerning this notice or your rights or interests, please contact Timothy J. MacFall, Esquire or Peter Allocco of Rigrodsky & Long, P.A., 825 East Gate Boulevard, Suite 300, Garden City, NY at (888) 969-4242, by e-mail to info@rigrodskylong.com, or at: http://www.rigrodskylong.com/investigations/valence-technology-inc-vlncq.
Valence, a Delaware corporation headquartered in Austin, Texas, develops, manufactures and sells advanced energy storage systems utilizing their proprietary phosphate-based lithium-ion technology. The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business operations, financial condition and prospects. Specifically, the Complaint alleges that the defendants knew, but concealed from the investing public: (1) that the Company’s Chairman of the Board, Carl E. Berg (“Berg”), would no longer pump money into the Company and save it from its debts; (2) that Valence was not going to raise capital by selling equity; (3) that Valence was not finding any favorable financing opportunities; and (4) that as a result of the foregoing, the Company was headed for bankruptcy and would not survive as a going concern. As a result of defendants’ false and misleading statements, the Company’s stock traded at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period.
According to the Complaint, since its inception in 1989, Valence has not achieved profitable operations and, thus, has financed its operating activities primarily through the sale of equity securities and the issuance of debt. Most importantly, the Company relied on Berg, who has pumped more than $100 million into Valence over the years and owns a substantial amount of its debt. By July 2012, the end of the Class Period, the Company owed Berg and his companies $69.1 million in loans.
Notwithstanding Berg’s tremendous financial backing for the Company, Valence still could not keep up with its debts and Berg grew tired of supporting a business that was not performing. Despite all this, the Defendants consistently misled investors about the Company’s business health and future prospects by evading inquiries concerning Valence’s liquidity and assuring the market of the Company’s available alternatives for raising capital. Adding to this all, the Company was facing a $3 million loan payment by July 3, 2012 and did not have enough cash to meet its outstanding obligations.
On July 12, 2012, nine days after the Company’s loan payment was due, Valence issued a press release disclosing to investors that the Company “filed a voluntary petition for a chapter 11 business reorganization in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Texas.” On this news, shares in Valence declined over 92%, from a close of $0.65 per share on July 12, 2012 to $0.05 per share on July 16, 2012, on volume of over 31 million shares.
If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than November 12, 2012. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. In order to be appointed lead plaintiff, the Court must determine that the class member’s claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that the class member will adequately represent the class. Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. Any member of the proposed class may move the court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.
While Rigrodsky & Long, P.A. did not file the Complaint in this matter, the firm, with offices in Wilmington, Delaware and Garden City, New York, regularly litigates securities class, derivative and direct actions, shareholder rights litigation and corporate governance litigation, including claims for breach of fiduciary duty and proxy violations in the Delaware Court of Chancery and in state and federal courts throughout the United States.

In November 2011, the Court’s ruling on Summary Judgment affirmed the validity of Promega’s STR patents, and found direct infringement by Life Technologies due to its sale of STR kits. After the trial in February 2012, a jury awarded $52 million in damages to Promega, and found the infringing sales were made willfully by Life Technologies. The Court today held that, in spite of the jury’s verdict, Promega had not sufficiently proven certain elements of its damages claim against Life Technologies. The Court, however, did not overrule the holding by the jury that Life Technologies’ actions were willfully undertaken and might thereby be subject to trebling, and did not overrule the Court’s prior findings that Life Technologies’ sales in clinical and research applications infringed Promega’s patents. The Court dismissed all of Life Technologies’ remaining defenses and claims against Promega.
“Nothing about today’s ruling affects Promega’s long and continuing commitment to provide high quality products and support to the life sciences market, including STR products for use in all applications. Nor does it impact our intent to continue to enforce our STR patents against those who illegally sell STR products to clinical and research customers,” says Bill Linton, Promega CEO. “While we are disappointed with the Court’s decision today, we are considering all available options to continue to pursue what we believe are valid claims against Life Technologies’ actions in the STR market. In spite of this ruling, we remain encouraged that a jury of citizens found in our favor earlier this year.”
This ruling leaves significant issues unresolved, including, but not limited to, enjoining further infringing sales of STR products by Life Technologies in the United States and remedying damages suffered by Promega for past and potentially continuing infringing sales in the United States.
Additional product information on Promega STR analysis products is located at: http://www.promega.com/products/str-analysis/.
Promega’s pioneering STR technology is used worldwide in a number of applications for genetic analysis beyond forensics and paternity testing, including genetic research, cell line authentication, bone marrow transplantation monitoring, forensic training, and various types of cancer analysis.

“We are excited about this opportunity for Denise and our team of competing challenged athletes”
“We are excited about this opportunity for Denise and our team of competing challenged athletes,” said Virginia Tinley, Executive Director of the Challenged Athletes Foundation. “A major part of CAF’s mission is to change perceptions of what challenged athletes can do. Through our continued partnership with the Nautica Malibu Triathlon, we are thrilled to play a critical role in getting these athletes to the starting line so the world can marvel at their athleticism and skill.”
The Challenged Athletes Foundation team will consist of nationally ranked challenged athletes like Danielle McLaughlin, the 2011 ITU Paratriathlon World Championship gold medalist; Sarah Reinertsen, the first female leg amputee to finish the Ironman World Championship; and Scout Bassett, bronze medalist at the 2011 ITU Paratriathlon World Championships. CAF’s challenged athletes will be joined by eight fundraisers who will race in support of the Challenged Athletes Foundation. Competing in “The Classic Distance Race,” Team CAF will hit Zuma beach with celebrities and pros to prove their skills on the half-mile swim, 18 mile bike and 4 mile run course.
Since 1994, the Challenged Athletes Foundation has raised in excess of $40 million and satisfied almost 7,000 funding requests from physically challenged athletes across the United States and around the world. CAF provides grants to athletes at all levels to fund the purchase of expensive adaptive equipment (such as running feet, racing chairs and handcycles) and to help pay for coaching and travel expenses. In 2012, CAF provided 1,106 such grants to athletes around the world, worth more than $1.7 million. CAF also offers free adaptive sports clinics and mentoring programs such as the CAF Dodge Paratriathlon Camp, a clinic that builds the skills and confidence that challenged athletes need to succeed in paratriathlon.
Challenged Athletes Foundation
The Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF) is a world leader in helping individuals with physical challenges get involved – and stay involved – in sports. CAF believes that participation in sports at any level increases self-esteem, encourages independence and enhances quality of life. Since 1994, more than $40 million has been raised and almost 7,000 funding requests from challenged athletes in all 50 states and dozens of countries have been satisfied. Additionally, CAF’s outreach efforts reach another 60,000 individuals each year. Whether it’s a $2,500 grant for a handcycle, helping underwrite a carbon fiber running foot not covered by insurance, or arranging enthusiastic encouragement from a mentor who has triumphed over a similar challenge, CAF’s mission is clear: give those with the desire to live active, athletic lifestyles every opportunity to compete in the sports they love.

“We’re delighted to offer this important new white paper from Dr. Mathew Greenwald”
According to Dr. Greenwald, to maintain a comfortable lifestyle, today’s retirees need a strategy that generates larger amounts of income over longer periods of time. To do this, Dr. Greenwald suggests focusing on two core concepts: 1) introducing immediate annuities into the portfolio, and 2) increasing the portfolio’s equity allocation. This enables clients to achieve key income goals efficiently, using less of their investable assets, and enhances the client’s opportunity to benefit from the growth potential of equities, which can be an important factor in dealing with inflation.
Dr. Greenwald’s report includes real-world illustrations that show the advantages of this strategy, including how its benefits increase the longer a client spends in retirement. He also debunks some of the myths about immediate annuities.
“We’re delighted to offer this important new white paper from Dr. Mathew Greenwald,” says Christine Tucker, Pacific Life's vice president of marketing, Retirement Solutions Division. “Offering financial professionals strategic insights is an important part of The Pacific Life Experience, our consultative approach to helping financial professionals build their practices, and we believe they will find his report invaluable in serving clients’ retirement income needs.”

The record was set at 9:45 a.m. today, as six guests sat at a massive blackjack table measuring just over 2,226 square feet and played a hand of blackjack with chips and cards that were ten times the size of the actual Viejas blackjack chips and cards. Philip Robertson, an official “Adjudicator” for Guinness was on hand to confirm the measurements and witness the hand of blackjack…and the new record was officially certified amid a rousing round of cheers and applause from Viejas Team Members and guests in the DreamCatcher at Viejas Casino.

How do you know if the mosquitoes buzzing around you are dangerous? This particular offending mosquito is very distinctive; spots and stripes, black and white. It came here from Asia and as a result, the first cases of West Nile virus (WNV) appeared in New York City, in 1999. While this mosquito has now spread to other regions in the U.S. (including Ohio), other local mosquitoes have now become carriers by either biting infected humans and/or birds, and then transferring the virus to others by biting them.
In the vast majority of cases, the illness is so mild it may not be noticeable at all. For some however, it can cause a mild flu-like illness, but for others it can invade the brain and cause a more severe illness or even death. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there are a total of 2,636 reported cases of WNV in the United States, resulting in 118 reported deaths. Currently there are 70 confirmed cases of the WNV in our state – two of these cases have been fatal.
There is no vaccine to prevent against the WNV; however, persons who are bitten and contract the illness will develop immunity to the virus. The illness does not spread from human to human directly, but requires a bite from a mosquito that carries the virus.
So, we know that the virus is here, what can you do?
First, stay indoors when mosquitoes are biting (usually at dusk or dawn), or if you need to be out, wear clothes that cover your arms and legs. Also avoid marshy wet areas as those are areas where mosquitoes breed and develop. Keep doors and windows open only when necessary as local mosquitoes, that also now carry the virus, can enter your home. Place screens over your windows and doors if they need to be open. Place mosquito netting over infant strollers or baby carriages when outside.
Secondly, check outside your home to make sure you don’t have environments that are known breeding grounds for mosquitoes. For example, standing water in a bucket or baby pool or even in a small can or tire can attract mosquitoes, and that is where they will lay their eggs, breeding more mosquitoes. Make sure to remove those items and/or empty the water.
Apply insect repellant if you need to be outdoors for any length of time. Be especially careful when applying repellant on children. Avoid applying it to their hands as it can get in their eyes and mouth. And, as a reminder, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that repellents should contain no more than 30 percent DEET when used on children. Insect repellents also are not recommended for children younger than two months.
With the WNV, an ounce of prevention can save your life and the lives of your family members.
