The irresponsibility of Deputy Chief Ken Keeler's statements regarding the exaggeration of symptoms to improve ambulance response times for minor problems was highlighted by the fatal Feb. 3 collision in York Region involving a fire vehicle responding to a medical call as well as a fatal collision involving an ambulance, near...

Why he loves the Eagles: I grew up rooting for the Eagles since the 1960s.

On Sunday, [Ken Keeler] and two other mathematical writers from the popular shows will share the inside scoop on many of those references at a free public forum at the University of California, Berkeley, sponsored by the Mathematical Sciences Research Institutes Archimedes Society. MSRI is a nonprofit organization dedicated to math research. Institute director David Eisenbud said the organization has sponsored several public forums exploring the interaction between math and popular culture, such as math and music or math in literature. Joining Keeler will be David X. Cohen, former Futurama executive producer and head writer, and Jeff Westbrook, Futurama and Simpsons writer. Cohen has a physics degree from Harvard and a masters degree in theoretical computer science from UC Berkeley. Westbrook has a computer science doctorate from Princeton University and has taught at Yale University and worked at AT&T Labs.

[Scott Baker] said that most bike owners don't keep track of serial numbers, which makes identifying them difficult. Bike thieves often spray paint stolen bikes to change their appearance, but police would still be able to identify registered bikes. \"We grabbed a couple of surplus bikes and put them in areas where we've had problems,\" Baker said. Four people were arrested as a result. \"To a large extent, it's really the bike owners' responsibility,\" said Ken Keeler, president of the Annapolis Bicycle Club. \"It's a lot about common sense.\"

\"It's my favorite route,\" said Lance Lacy, of Edgewater, one of the racers for Team Latitude. He added that a number of teams come down to the Davidsonville Park and Ride to cycle the 42-, 60- or 100-mile loop. \"Teams from Silver Spring and D.C. come here because of the long stretches without traffic lights and a minimum of traffic.\" \"The roads down here were created hundreds of years ago and they're curvy, so it doesn't allow a lot of traffic,\" [Rick Paukstitus] said. He continued, \"If you go west of the city, the roads are straight, four lanes, and fast.\" \"The roads down here are almost endless,\" [Ken Keeler] said. He continued, \"You can do 30 miles, 60 miles, 100 miles. You can go 20 miles without having to stop at an intersection.\"

\"We don't see a lot of fatalities, but it's easy for a person to be injured on a bike,\" he said. \"It's important that riders, especially new ones, take time to review the rules - it will greatly decrease injury.\" \"We don't see a lot of fatalities, but it's easy for a person to be injured on a bike,\" he said. \"It's important that riders, especially new ones, take time to review the rules - it will greatly decrease injury.\" Members of the Annapolis Bicycle Club ride single file Saturday morning in south county.

\"He was just a ball of feathers, hissing at you,\" says Nancy Brink, recalling Zeus's erratic, neurotic behaviour when he first arrived at her 'foster home' early last May. She'd found out about him from Feathered Friends Avian Rescue and Resource Association (FFARRA), an Edmonton group devoted to rescuing unwanted pet parrots and to finding loving homes for them. He sees up to three birds a day as part of his practice and is noticing parrots becoming more popular, although not as common as dogs, cats and 'pocket pets' such as hamsters and rabbits. The birds will often come in for routine grooming - nail trimming or wing clipping and nutritional management. But [Ken Keeler] cautions that if owners only feed their parrots seed, if they don't clean up the cage often enough, if they use sandpaper perches or don't cover the cage at night so the parrot can get enough sleep, \"all these things can cause stress and the bird can start to act ill.\" Back at FFARRA, [Isabelle Kamal] is thrilled that Zeus is relaxed, preening and a different, more joyful bird. It's one of her happy endings. She turns to another happy ending, a double yellow head amazon named Echo, who had come to the Edmonton Humane Society as a \"defensively aggressive\" bird that needed more and better care. Placed with a foster 'dad' named Roy, he has blossomed into an affectionate and chatty bird.

She'd found out about him from Feathered Friends Avian Rescue and Resource Association (FFARRA), an Edmonton group devoted to rescuing unwanted pet parrots and to finding loving homes for them. Another important consideration is the long lifespan of parrots. [Isabelle Kamal] has received a parrot because the owner died. \"With the various things that happen in our lives, the relationships, where we live and the rest of it, it takes a big commitment to bring a large bird along through the ups and downs,\" [Ken Keeler] points out.
