In the 1990s, Massachusetts lawmakers, reacting to the slayings of several women by male partners out on bail in domestic abuse cases, passed a tough law allowing judges to keep such dangerous defendants behind bars. But today, 20 years later, the pioneering statute is seldom employed in such cases.
Use of the so-called dangerousness law is largely determined by whether the victim is willing to help police make a case against the abuser. If he or she is unwilling or too afraid, prosecutors rarely go forward.
"I've never seen a single one," said Colby Bruno, senior legal counsel at the Victim Rights Law Center in Boston.
Without the cooperation of victims, prosecutors often assume they do not have enough evidence to convince a judge to order an alleged abuser to be held without bail for up to 90 days.
Prosecutors, fearful of making a volatile situation worse, also give broad deference to victims' wishes, relying on research that indicates they can best assess their own safety.
The law was not invoked last week, when Middlesex prosecutors chose not to seek a dangerousness hearing for Jared Remy after he allegedly assaulted his girlfriend, Jennifer Martel, 27. Remy was released without bail the night of the assault and again at an arraignment on Wednesday morning. He is charged with stabbing Martel to death the following day at their Waltham home.
Martel had not argued for Remy to be held. On Wednesday, she did not appear in court to extend an emergency restraining order issued Tuesday, the day of the first alleged assault. Prosecutors say their conversations with Martel were a prominent factor in deciding not to seek to detain Remy, even though he has an extensive criminal record and two previous allegations of assaulting women.
Without the victim's willingness to share her fear and the reasons for it, prosecutors worry that they cannot meet the requirement of the dangerousness law, which requires "clear and convincing" evidence that the defendant poses a threat to the victim.
"It's a very high threshold to meet," said Ann McGonigle Santos, a Suffolk University Law School professor and a former prosecutor who specialized in domestic violence. "It's a terrible thing: We have to put some of the responsibility on the victim to articulate their fear."
Advocates say prosecutors' reluctance to use the dangerousness law without a victim's cooperation allows defendants to be freed with minimal restrictions, often creating an even more dangerous situation.
"We know once a violent offender has been arraigned, if they are released into the community with no restrictions, a terrible tragedy like the Martel murder can happen and will happen," said Suzanne Dubus, chief executive officer of the Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center in Newburyport.
Dangerousness hearings are held to determine whether a defendant poses a threat to an individual or to society at large. Under the law, a judge can detain a suspect for up to 90 days if there is evidence that no conditions of release "will reasonably assure the safety of any other person or the community."
Statewide, there were at least 1,830 dangerousness hearings held last fiscal year, a small fraction of the more than 235,000 criminal cases handled annually by state courts. There are no statistics reflecting how often dangerousness hearings are used in domestic violence cases, but lawyers and advocates agree that it happens rarely.
One of those instances involved Remy, who was held for 81 days in 2005 after he was charged with kicking, punching, and dragging his former girlfriend, according to court records.
But last week, prosecutors asked only that Remy be ordered not to abuse Martel, his longtime girlfriend and the mother of his 4-year-old daughter.
Dubus strongly supports the dangerousness law and said prosecutors need to recognize that many victims are too frightened and traumatized to cooperate against their abuser.
"I can think of no other crime where evidence is gathered and then prosecutors wait for the victim to say yes or no," Dubus said. "They are often afraid to talk, afraid of the retribution they may suffer. They are asked to make life-altering decisions on the spot."
Martel told police Remy grabbed her by the neck and head and slammed her into a bathroom mirror, but officers at the scene noted no marks on her head. Even with Remy's criminal record, the lack of visible injuries would have made a judge unlikely to hold Remy under the dangerousness law, Santos said. On the evening of the assault, Remy was released without bail and ordered to appear in court Wednesday morning.
Martel's mother said her daughter did not seek to renew an emergency restraining order at the request of Remy's family. Remy's mother had begged her not to file any kind of complaint, saying it would ruin her son's life, said Patricia Martel, Jennifer's mother. The Remy family has not commented on the assertions.
Given such pressures, an abuse victim cannot be expected to speak out against her abuser, when doing so could make the situation more volatile. Some advocates say it falls to prosecutors to intervene on the victim's behalf.
"Prosecutors have to fight for victims,'' said Mary Lauby, executive director of Jane Doe Inc., a statewide advocacy group. "That's their job. In the absence of that, victims are left alone."
A cruel aspect of the system, specialists say, is that the more abusers terrorize their victims, the less likely the victims are to speak out against them, in some cases making the worst offenders the hardest to prosecute.
But while prosecutors and domestic violence counselors sometimes have a better vantage point to assess abusive situations, advocates say that most victims are keenly aware of the danger they are in and that prosecutors should give their views strong credence.
"Only the victim knows how volatile things can get," said Bruno, of the Victim Rights Law Center.
Prosecutors who seek to pursue cases against victims' wishes risk alienating them from the legal process, specialists say, and intensifying feelings of powerlessness.
"They resent the process almost more than they resent the perpetrator," Bruno said.
In defending her office's decision to not seek bail or a dangerousness hearing for Remy, Marian T. Ryan, the Middlesex district attorney, said that research has shown that victims are generally the best judge of their own safety and that their wishes deserve careful consideration.
David Adams, codirector of Emerge, a treatment program for abusers in Cambridge, said abuse victims are pretty reliable judges of the risk they face and are well aware that cooperating with authorities could spur further abuse.
"The first person [abusers] are going to blame is their victim," Adams said. "Overall, the best thing seems to be relying on the victim's judgment."
Advocates say that prosecutors are aware that victims' decisions are often influenced by fear and regularly factor the risk of reprisal into decisions about whether to seek to have defendants detained. Even when prosecutors know a victim may be in danger, they may decide a dangerousness hearing is too risky.
"They know that without the victim, they are going to have a hard time with the judge," said Laura Van Zandt, who directs REACH Beyond Domestic Violence in Waltham. "It's a very delicate balance."

John Glaser likes to describe the NEHEN network as "the Napster of health care" data exchange.
As vice president and CIO of Boston-based Partners Health care, a non-profit health care company, Glaser was instrumental in creating the New England Healthcare EDI Network (NEHEN) to allow health care professionals to swap data securely and in compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accounting Act.
Partners, which was one of NEHEN's four founding members, includes Brigham and Women's/Faulkner Hospitals, Massachusetts General Hospital, The North Shore Medical Center, Newton-Wellesley Hospital, McLean Hospital, Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, Dana-Farber/Partners CancerCare, community health centers, and the community-based doctors and hospitals of Partners Community Health Care Inc.
Baseline senior contributing writer Stephen Pizzo spoke with Glaser about the business imperatives that drove NEHEN's creation and the challenges it posed.
Baseline: Can you briefly explain why Partners decided to join forces with competitors such as CareGroup to form NEHEN?
Glaser: About four years ago, we were actually looking to develop our own proprietary EDI (electronic document interchange) payments system. But it became clear to us that health care better lent itself to a regional rather than a standalone situation or even a value-added network arrangement. So we got together with CareGroup, Tufts and Harvard Pilgrim and began to lay out some governing principles of what later became NEHEN.
Baseline: What about those founding principles do you think most contributed to NEHEN's success?
Glaser: The logic was straightforward. There were three main areas of mutual interest. First, everyone sitting around the table could see there were potential gains for themand I am talking non-trivial gains. Second, for me to realize my gains I needed Tufts, I needed Harvard Pilgrim, I need CareGroup and so on.
I couldn't get those gains working unilaterally. So we all understood that we had to work together to see our individual gains. Finally, everyone agreed that we could not view EDI as a competitive weapon. While Partners competes with CareGroup on quality of care and we wrestle with Tufts over insurance matters, it became clear that competing on EDI made no sense. Because of that, NEHEN became a place where it was safe for competitors to sit down around a table and have open discussions on a subject of mutual benefit without getting into collusion territory.
Baseline: If this was not a competitive tool and it was not a value-added network, then how did you visualize NEHEN?
Glaser: We went out and did a review of other competitive enterprise networks that ended up becoming industry utilities; ATM machines that facilitate financial services, swipe-card networks and devices that serve credit card companies or computerized reservation systems for all the airlines. What we saw were systems that, at first appeared to have competitive capabilities, but actually emerged as commodity infrastructures for those industries and did so in a relatively short period. We believed that could be the fate of health care EDI networks as well.
Baseline: So, once the decision was made how did you proceed?
Glaser: We designed the network as a commodity right from the get-go rather than a feature-city where you just link the other guy. We shot for all the attributes that could scale and grow the network into a commodity-class item. Those were low cost of entry, high reliability and reasonable levels of agility.
Baseline: In the past there was reluctance of individual players to join such networks once they saw what it meant to their established ways of doing business. How did NEHEN address these problems?
Glaser: We avoided that problem by making the process minimally intrusive to the other players' systems. We did not require the participants to throw out their legacy systems, did not require the participants to divert major capital to fund the thing, and we did not require members to comply with an arbitrary feature adoption timeline. Instead, they could move as fast or slow as they wanted and we would simply wrap ourselves around the member's own technology choices and directions.
Baseline: Partners was one of the founding members of NEHEN. Now with four years of operation under your belt, what kind of ROI have you realized?
Glaser: Between our two biggest operations, Brigham and Women's and Massachusetts General, we have seen cost savings; we saw $9 million a year in savings. We also saw a one-time savings of about $6 million. It's particularly impressive when you compare it to the low cost of implementing the system. It has been a superb ROI. One good example of how those savings occur [is that] our average cost of doing an eligibility transaction before NEHEN was $2.62 per transaction. The last time we took a snapshot of those costs was last January, and we had that down to 10 cents.
Baseline: Privacy advocates worry that, while companies like providers and insurance companies harvest larger profits thanks to these savings, those savings may come at the cost of patient privacy. Are their concerns warranted?
Glaser: Those concerns are real and serious. There are massive privacy problems in this industry. The activist's anxiety is appropriate and correct. I am anxious about it, and you should be, too, because it is scary in many ways. So I'm glad there is anxiety and that people are raising these issue because it will lead to needed changes.
Having said that, electronic insurance EDI transactions are not a great concern on the privacy side. First, the payers already get all that information anyway. Just because we move it electronically does not make it less secure. Nor does it mean that security practices on the receiving end are not any good. In fact, they may be more secure because the nice thing about an EDI network like NEHEN is that there is no central database sitting there in the middle. The information is just passing from one member to another.
Baseline: But once this information is aggregated by different members on the network, what's to stop them from using it for inappropriate purposes such as direct marketing or selling it to marketing companies?
Glaser: Re-use of medical data for marketing purposes is a real privacy issue. But it's a separate issue from whether a transaction is paper or electronic. It's true that you can tell a lot about a patient's disease just by their insurance bill. But EDI networks neither compounds that problem nor does it make it go away because it is already in place. Most of these companies already maintain large client databases of their own and Medicare of course has one, too.
So, there will be persistent attempts by all kinds of interests to get hold of clinical data. Those attempts will range from legitimate uses such as in research and quality-of-care audits, to all kinds of more gray areas. But, realize that it's not an easy thing to do. If you [are] outside the clinical care environment I cannot see, how you go about aggregating useful data and [wind up] doing this in very effective way. Still, people will try and it is useful as part of the privacy debate to just keep raising the issue.
Baseline: Privacy advocates worry that, even when individual members of the network do not misuse their own EMRs that a hacker might compromise their systems and gain access to private patient files.
Glaser: It happens. Off the top of my head, I can recall that over the past few years it happened at the University of Washington, the University of Michigan, University of Alaska and the University of Pittsburgh hospitals. It seems we read about one of these a year. But, we all know that whatever the industry involved, when a break-in becomes public it is usually just the tip of an iceberg.
Baseline: Let me ask you now to look a decade down the road. Where is all this taking the health care industry and what will it mean to patients?
Glaser: Today between 16% and 20% of doctors employ [electronic medical records]. In ten years, it will be 50-60%. And, by then a reasonably large percentage of patients will routinely use the Internet to interact with their physicians. It will be common for people with chronic diseases that render them particularly fragile, like congestive heart failure, to be monitored remotely at home with smart-sensors married to Internet technology. We will also have made strides in expert systems that will underpin [electronic medical record] networks assuring that doctors do not prescribe drugs that interact or order radiology or other treatments that might be inappropriate for a particular patient.
Baseline: You have talked about the benefits electronic networks provide the private sector. Does public health care have a stake in this as well?
Glaser: Absolutely. Despite the horror of it all, the events of Sept. 11 had a silver lining for the public health sector. It will bring an investment in public health care infrastructure that has been sorely needed for a very long time The ability of these networks to detect at a very early stages any kind of outbreak, not just anthrax, but salmonella poisoning, or unusually high cancer rates in a certain area, will provide enormous public health benefits in the years ahead.

A tantalizing bit of 2012 gossip dropped way, way down in an otherwise fun piece about amnesty shills boo-hooing over having (temporarily) lost McCain. Note to Politico: This is what's called "burying the lede."
Their hope now is that Republican presidential candidates and former operatives under Bush, a reform proponent, can convince GOP congressional leaders that the issue needs to be dealt with before 2012 — or that they could risk alienating the burgeoning Hispanic vote in the crucial swing states of New Mexico, Colorado, Nevada, Arizona and Florida.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, a front-runner for the nomination, has signaled quietly to Graham that Republicans must address immigration before the campaign heats up, according to several sources familiar with the conversation.
Graham's push against birthright citizenship prompted this response on POLITICO's Arena from Cesar Conda, a former domestic policy adviser to Vice President Dick Cheney: "If the Republican Party embraces ending birthright citizenship, then it will be assured losing Latino and ethnic voters — and presidential elections for the foreseeable future."
Now I'm more confused than ever about why Graham's pushing the birthright citizenship amendment. If he really is thinking about trying to settle the immigration issue before 2012 — which may be do-able, given the electoral pressure from Latinos that the GOP leadership will be feeling — what does he gain by staking out a position further to the right than he's ever gone before? I have to assume that it's precisely because he thinks a deal is likely that he wants to stockpile conservative demands now so that he can give up on them early in the interests of "compromise." If he sacrifices birthright citizenship in the interests of "being reasonable" but stands firm on securing the border first, it'll give the Dems some cover on agreeing to the latter. In fact, Politico notes that his comprehensive bill co-written with Schumer already would have made amnesty contingent on first reaching certain benchmarks vis-a-vis border security; Graham's now insisting that that's no longer enough, that he wants a separate "borders only" bill before amnesty comes back on the table, but I've got a crazy hunch that he's just staking out a bargaining position there, too.
As for Mitt's role in this, it's not like he's nudging Graham to strike a deal on his behalf. Getting immigration off the table would, in theory, benefit whoever the eventual nominee is. But suspicions about him among the righty base plus the fact that it's Grahamnesty, of all people, that he's coordinating with here instead of, say, Jim DeMint isn't going to win him any new fans. Exit question: Any fallout over this for him, or no biggie?

Chicago based Groupon, which was formerly known as ThePoint, has raised a hefty Series B financing – $30 million – from new investor Accel Partners and existing investor New Enterprise Associates. Accel's Kevin Efrusy joins Groupon's board of directors.
The company is going gangbusters. They offer users deep discounts on local deals – spas, sky diving lessons, hotels, restaurants, golf, whtaever. Discounts range from 40%-90% of the normal price. If enough people buy into the offer, everyone gets the deal. If there aren't enough people, no one gets the deal. Groupon collects payment and passes it on, minus their fee, to the business.
Example – 1,600 people in one day bought skydiving lessons in Chicago, says the company, getting a 44% discount on the $229 price. And the company making the offer normally sells just 6,000 lessons per year. They sacrificed some profit, but gos lots of new customers.
What makes the service so compelling is that people have an incentive to get their friends involved to make sure the minimum is hit. And Groupon makes it easy to spread the word about offers via Facebook and Twitter. Their user acquisition costs? zero.
Groupon generally takes 30% – 50% of the total price paid for the service, and they are on track, they say, to do $100 million in gross merchandise sales in 2010. They reached profitability in June 2009, just six months after launching the service.
Chicago launched first but the site now covers 26 cities and is adding a new one every week. They have 126 employees, more than half of which are sales staff finding new deals for users. The company has now raised about $35 million in aggregate, including an early angel round.
Think they deserve a Crunchie for best application or best new product in 2009? Vote for them here.

Door open for Jimmy Wilson to help Dolphins at safety
DAVIE, Fla. (AP) -- Reshad Jones' four-game suspension has put backup safety Jimmy Wilson in the spotlight for the Miami Dolphins.
Jones is allowed to practice with the team and participate in preseason games after he was penalized Friday for violating the NFL policy on performance-enhancing substances. But Wilson took most of the snaps with the first team during Sunday's practice.
This is Wilson's third year in defensive coordinator Kevin Coyle's system, but he has spent the majority of his time lined up at other spots in the defensive backfield, including nickel corner.
''I've practiced (safety) the last couple of years now,'' said Wilson, who had two interceptions and 39 tackles last season. ''So I'm finally going to have a chance to get out there and play safety and show everybody what I can do and hopefully help my team. There are still some things I've got to get used to at safety but that's what the rest of these preseason games are for and the rest of this camp is for.''
Veteran safety Louis Delmas, who was signed as a free agent back in March, is coming off a stellar season in Detroit and will be asked to help Wilson in his transition. Delmas and the rest of the defensive starters also are trying to bounce back from a shaky outing in Atlanta on Friday night in the preseason opener against the Falcons.
Atlanta put together a 15-play scoring drive in the first quarter that ate up more than nine minutes and resulted in the tying touchdown. There were two costly penalties on the defense, one on Delmas for illegal contact that negated a sack by linebacker Koa Misi and one on linebacker Philip Wheeler for roughing the passer that set up the touchdown run.
''I definitely didn't like to see that and again we were very generous to them,'' coach Joe Philbin said. ''We had a couple of penalties on the drive and we had some opportunities where we had a great chance to get off the field but we didn't execute well enough and we weren't disciplined enough not to get called on a couple of flags and that hurt us. They put together a good drive so obviously it was not an impressive performance, that opening drive defensively.''
Philbin, in keeping with his practice, would not commit to Wilson taking Jones' spot at starting strong safety, but he did point out some of the things he likes about the fourth-year defensive back out of Montana.
''He's had a lot of training there and he's gotten a lot of reps at that position over a long period of time,'' he said. ''I think he knows the defense very well and not unlike any other position we're looking for him to execute the techniques, the responsibilities, the coverage, the adjustments and the checks that need to be made on a consistent basis.''
NOTES: The team announced before practice that defensive tackle A.J. Francis (knee) will miss extended practice time. ... Cornerback Cortland Finnegan was the only player not present. ... Second-year running back Mike Gillislee had an ice pack on his left knee and missed most of practice. ... Backup offensive tackle Jason Fox left the field accompanied by a trainer. ... Quarterbacks Matt Moore and Pat Devlin returned after missing about a week, as did defensive end Olivier Vernon, tight end Michael Egnew, cornerback Jalil Brown and kicker Caleb Sturgis. ... Tight ends Charles Clay (knee) and Gator Hoskins (hamstring), running back Daniel Thomas (hamstring) and running back Damien Williams also did not practice.

Tai Chi by the Reflecting Pool
May 4, 2017 5:00 pm
Tai Chi is a traditional Chinese martial art whose physical practice offers general health benefits, stress management, increased energy, and improved physical mobility. The physical and meditative aspects of Tai Chi, which uses slow, repetitive movements, are recognized as relieving the physical effects of stress on the body and mind.
Led by instructor Henderson Smith, Tai Chi classes are held from 5pm to 6pm on the Chapel grounds near the reflecting pool and Barnett Newman's sculpture Broken Obelisk. The classes are suitable for beginners as well as the experienced Tai Chi practitioner. Loose fitting, comfortable clothes are appropriate attire. In case of inclement weather, classes will be held inside the Rothko Chapel. Henderson Smith is the founder of Living Well Therapies and is a certified instructor in Tai Chi.
