...outboard motor. But about one-quarter of last year's fatalities have been traced to a pair of protozoan parasites, Toxoplasma gondii and Sarcocystis neurona, that are known to breed in cats and opossums. Could sea otters be dying because California cat owners are flushing used litter down the toilet...
This fall, all students in Eliot, Kirkland and Dunster houses have more on their plates then just the regular class-picking and room-decorating decisions. Thanks to the new toilets installed in every bathroom, they must choose not only when to flush, but which way. The name? The dual-flush flushometer. The verdict?

And once those biorhythms are on track, students can begin to acquire basic living and academic skills. Within four months of being at Higashi, Luke went home for vacation mostly toilet trained. He has since conquered such complex tasks as riding a unicycle and walking on stilts--activities that have given him confidence to try other new things. "I do think he can have a life that's happy and maybe even productive," Jeff says. "If we had left...
