2011 Fiscal Year in Review 2011 Fiscal Year In Review Friends, From our inland lakes to our ocean waves, from our energy future to our families’ health, the time is right for CLF’s work. New England is in transition: a few antiquated, dirty power plants continue to operate while others, like Dominion Energy’s plant in Salem Harbor, are being forced to shut down. Meanwhile, as Cape Wind finally has the financing it needs to move forward to become the nation’s first offshore wind farm, New England leads the country’s transition to a clean energy future. CLF is helping make all of these changes happen. Thanks to a continued focus on a relevant and focused set of initiatives, we are in a strong position to advance our goals. In the fiscal year that ended July 31, 2011, we maintained the 14 percent increase in our operating budget that our Board approved last year. With those funds, we invested in membership growth, enforcement actions on clean water and clean air cases, and internal efficiencies to increase our effectiveness. We are seeing progress on these important new initiatives – progress that bodes well for our health as an organization and as a region. In response to the mounting threats to New England’s fresh and salt waters, we launched two new initiatives across the region. The first, New England Ocean Odyssey, is a project with renowned National Geographic photojournalist Brian Skerry, who will document and raise awareness about New England’s ocean – one of the most extraordinary and biologically productive ecosystems in the world. Similarly, we launched The Great Bay Piscataqua-Waterkeeper, a new initiative devoted to protecting the Great Bay estuary. The project is led by Peter Wellenberger, a 20 year veteran of the Great Bay Estuarine Research Reserve and the state’s first Waterkeeper. CLF continues to deliver on its mission because we are not only deploying the right tools, but also empowering the people of New England to engage in environmental issues across the region. A bill recently signed into law by Governor Peter Shumlin of Vermont – and long advocated for by CLF – does just that. As I said in a letter to The New York Times in December, organizations at the local, state and regional levels “have known for years what the nationals are only now realizing: we’ve got to engage people closer to where they live.” Our goal is simple: to empower the people of New England to help protect New England. With more of New England supporting us, and with momentum carrying us in the right direction, we enter this spring confident of the year ahead. Just as the time is right for our work, so too are we energized by the opportunity. On behalf of our trustees, board members and staff, we hope you will join us. Sincerely, John Kassel Michael B. Moskow President Chairman Conservation Law Foundation | 62 Summer Street, Boston, MA 02110 | P: 617.350.0990 | E: [email protected] FINANCIAL STATEMENT During the 2011 fiscal year, CLF allocated approximately 79% of revenue for program services. CLF spent 12% percent of the total for management and administration, while another 9% was directed toward the fundraising needed to generate current income. At the end of the 2011 fiscal year, the investments stood at $8.5 million based on fair market value. For more information, please contact Roberta A. Gilbert, Controller, at 617-350-0990.

  • How a Harvard Doctor's Sordid Murder Launched Modern Forensic Anthropology
    How A Harvard Doctor's Sordid Murder Launched Modern Forensic Anthropology Aug 26, 2016 https://www.forbes.com/sites/kristinakillgrove/2016/08/26/how‐a‐harvard‐doctors‐sordid‐murder‐launched‐modern‐forensic‐anthropology/#6e1dd3e9be9f The history of modern forensic anthropology is a bit murky. As an applied science rather than a "pure" one, forensics was shunned for decades, its findings inadmissible in court. But the 19th century murder of a Harvard Medical School doctor launched the field, revolutionized law in the process, and began our longstanding fascination with TV shows like CSI and Bones. The story starts just before Thanksgiving in 1849, when Dr. George Parkman went missing. Parkman was from a wealthy Boston family, an old‐timey Doogie Howser who entered Harvard at age 15. He went to medical school in Scotland, returning after the War of 1812. Parkman donated some land in Boston to Harvard Medical College so that the school could relocate from Cambridge. He was also well‐known for lending money from his considerable fortune and for walking around town to collect on those debts. Left: Dr. George Parkman. Right: Dr. John Webster. Images from: Trial of Professor John W. Webster, for the murder of Doctor George Parkman. Reported exclusively for the N.Y. Daily Globe (1850). Images in the public domain, via NIH National Library of Medicine. A professor of chemistry and geology at Harvard, John White Webster, was one of those debtors. He had been having financial problems, requiring him to give up his family's Cambridge mansion. Webster's salary as a lecturer at Harvard simply didn't cover his grandiose lifestyle.

None but a man of grand proportions could have emerged into prominence to stand with them. Webster, Choate, Story, Benjamin R. Curtis, Jeremiah Mason, the Hoars, Dana, Otis, and Caleb Cushing were among them. Of the lives and careers of all of these, full and adequate records have been written. But of him who was first their associate, and later their judge, the greatest legal figure of them all, only meagre accounts survive. It is in the hope of sup plying this deficiency, to some extent, that the following pages are presented. It may be thought that too great space has been given to a description of Shaw's forbears and early surroundings; but it is suggested that much in his character and later life is thus explained.

  • George Parkman Dr
    MORDRE WOL OUT July 7, Monday [1851]: ... With a certain wariness, but not without a slight shudder at the danger oftentimes, I perceive how near I had come to admitting into my mind the details of some trivial affair, as a case at court– And I am astonished to observe how willing men are to lumber their minds with such rubbish –to permit idle rumors tales incidents even of an insignificant kind –to intrude upon what should be the sacred ground of the thoughts Shall the temple of our thought be a public arena where the most trivial affair of the market & the gossip of the teatable is discussed –a dusty noisy trivial place –or shall it be a quarter of heaven itself –a place consecrated to the service of the gods –a hypaethral temple. I find it so difficult to dispose of the few facts which to me are significant that I hesitate to burden my mind with the most insignificant which only a divine mind could illustrate. Such is for the most part the news –in newspapers & conversation. It is important to preserve the mind’s chastity in this respect Think of admitting the details of a single case at the criminal court into the mind –to stalk profanely through its very sanctum sanctorum for an hour –aye for many hours– –to make a very bar-room of your mind’s inmost apartment –as if for a moment the dust of the street had occupied you –aye the very street itself with all its travel passed through your very mind of minds –your thoughts shrine –with all its filth & bustle [possibly “hustle”]– Would it not be an intellectual suicide? By all manner of boards & traps threatening the extreme penalty of the divine law excluding trespassers from these grounds it behoves us to preserve the purity & sanctity of the mind.

  • ETHER in VOGUE: Nathan Cooley Keep and William Morton by Walter C
    M ASSACHUSETTS GENERAL HOSPITAL BICENTENNIAL 1811-2011 “KEEP-ing” ETHER in VOGUE: Nathan Cooley Keep and William Morton By Walter C. Guralnick, DMD, and Leonard B. Kaban, DMD, MD This paper was presented originally at the 150th celebration of the first demonstration of ether anesthesia, Massachusetts General Hospital . For anyone connected with dentistry, celebrating the demonstration in 1846 by Boston dentist William Morton, is a memorable event. It is especially meaningful for those of us gathered here this evening in the historical Ether Dome. Particularly interesting in the Ether story is the role of Nathan Cooley Keep, an anesthesiologist and the first Dean of the Harvard Dental School. Furthermore, it will be enlightening to trace the estimable record of dentists and oral and maxillofacial surgeons in the administration of ambulatory anesthesia, a continuum of Morton’s watershed demonstration. Nathan Cooley Keep, who received an M.D. degree from the Harvard Medical School in 1827, was the leading dental practitioner of his era in Boston. He was born in Longmeadow, Massachusetts, a suburb of Springfield, in 1800. As a child, he was noted to have extraordinary mechanical skill. This ability was explained by The Historical and Genealogical Register (April 1878), in its memorial minute upon Dr. Keep’s death, as being inherited from his father who had “great ingenuity and mechanical skill.” Keep’s admirable humane qualities and his biological curiosity were also noted and ascribed to his mother, in the same document which stated: “… his own knowledge of disease; his fertility in suggesting relief in the sick room and his willingness and ability to lend personal help in relieving suffering in all forms, were a kind of natural inheritance from his mother.” Because of his skill with tools, young Keep was apprenticed at the age of 15 to a New Jersey jeweler.

MARGARET began her own journal prior to her father’s death and her decision to continue his Memorial. So there is some overlap between their portions. And her first entries in her journal are sparse, interrupted by a period of four years’ invalidism, and somewhat uncertain in their purpose or direction. There is also in these opening pages a great deal of material already treated by her father. But after her father’s death, and presumably after she had not only completed the twenty-four blank leaves that were left in it at his death, she also wrote an additional twenty pages before moving over to the present bound volumes, which I shall refer to as volumes four and five.* She does not paginate her own pages. I have supplied page numbers on the manuscript itself and entered these in outlined text boxes at the tops of the transcribed pages.
