genetic mutation may be faced with sudden, fast, erratic, and chaotic heartbeat. These rapid heartbeats may trigger a sudden fainting spell. These fainting spells are typically precipitous and without any warning. In some cases, your heart may beat erratically for so long that it can cause sudden death. Rarely, LQT-2 may occur during sleep or arousal from sleep. Over 300 variations of LQT-2 have been documented and those affected by this disease do not know they have the disease until some type of disaster has occurred. “You are a star,” states the sign. Covered in gold, green, and


red stick-on stars, the silent sign welcomes all those who visit and volunteer their time to create a “field of dreams” for Zach. Many community organizations, professionals, town officials,


and volunteers have come together, driving the project of building a football field in Zach’s honor and memory without tax dollars. “We must remember how Zachary was a very unselfish young


man who would want the best for his community and those that he also interacted with. In his case, whether it was his teammates or other students at his school, or just a community adventure, his unselfishness has been the passion and the drive force of everyone involved in the field development,” stated project organizer Len Lathrop. “While the Hudson-Litchfield Bears will play there from July to November, and the Hudson Baseball teams will also be playing in the spring, this field, when completed, will offer many opportunities for the residents of Hudson.” The final approval to approve the lease the land to HLYFC will require the approval from the voters of Hudson during the spring elections of 2011.

NH U.S. Attorney’s Office Recovers over $100 Million in Fiscal Year 2010


submitted by United States Attorney’s Office, District of New Hampshire The U.S. Attorney’s office for the District of New Hampshire recovered over $100 million in Fiscal Year 2010, announced United States Attorney John P. Kacavas.


In addition to the Criminal Division’s prosecution of criminal offenses, the Civil Division in the U.S. Attorney’s Office also works to recover funds on behalf of the United States and victims of crime. This work primarily involves efforts to obtain financial recoveries from individuals or organizations that commit frauds against the United States and collect money from those who are required by courts to pay restitution, fines, or civil judgments to the United States. The recoveries in Fiscal Year 2010 were highlighted by the payment of a total of $118 million by two pharmaceutical companies (Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. and UDL Laboratories Inc.) to resolve allegations that they underpaid their Medicaid rebate obligations for several drugs. Under the Medicaid Rebate Program, participating drug distributors agree to pay rebates to Medicaid based on the amount of money the Medicaid program paid for each company’s drugs. The precise amount of a rebate is determined in part by whether a drug is considered an “innovator” or a “non-innovator” drug. Rebates for innovator drugs are higher than for non-innovator drugs. The companies allegedly sold innovator drugs produced by other manufacturers, but classified the drugs as non-innovator drugs to reduce their obligation to refund Medicaid under the rebate program. Because the Medicaid program is funded by the federal and state governments, both the federal government and the various states received a portion of this recovery, with over $60 million going to the federal government. This settlement was recently highlighted by the United States Department of Justice as one of the government’s most significant settlements in FY 2010. This $118 million recovery is an example of how the U.S. Attorney’s Office uses the False Claims Act to obtain civil recoveries against those who submit false or fraudulent claims to the United States. Under that law, the government can recover treble damages and $5,500 to $11,000 for each false or


fraudulent claim filed. Other False Claims Act settlements in FY 2010 included recoveries of $170,000 from a licensed clinical psychologist for submitting fraudulent claims to Medicare and Medicaid; over $120,000 from a staffing agency and hospital for improperly using the services of an individual who had been excluded from participating in federal health care programs; and over $56,000 from a grocery store operator who defrauded the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (formerly called the food stamp program). All of the financial recoveries, including the Mylan settlement, were obtained via settlement agreements that did not include an admission of liability. In announcing this year’s recoveries, U.S. Attorney John Kacavas said, “The United States Attorney’s Office for the District of New Hampshire is dedicated to identifying frauds committed against the government and ensuring that perpetrators do not profit at the expense of taxpayer-funded programs like Medicare and Medicaid. I personally want to recognize Assistant United States Attorney John Farley for his hard work and perseverance in securing the largest, single civil settlement in New Hampshire history. Recovery of stolen taxpayer funds is a priority of this office and we will aggressively pursue and prosecute those who commit fraud against the government.” U.S. Attorney Kacavas also encourages those


who are aware of healthcare fraud or other frauds against the United States to report those fraudulent schemes to federal law enforcement agencies.
