- 24/7: time and temporality in the network society
- Author(s)
- Hassan, Robert; Purser, Ronald E.
- Abstract
- For better or worse, the information and communication revolution has transformed our economic, cultural, and political world. On an individual scale, many of the traditional social, political, and cultural habits of mind and ways of being that evolved under the regime of the clock are changing rapidly, including the way individuals save, spend, and optimize time. At the organizational level, the pacing of innovation, levels of production, and new product development, are no longer temporally fixed due to the effects of living in a networked society and in the networked economy. 24/7 brings together leading thinkers from a variety of disciplines to analyze the differing relationships to time in an accelerated society. Offering much-needed insight and perspective into new issues and problems, this unique volume is the first to offer a wide range of cutting-edge thought on the new economic, cultural, and political world of the networked society. The book includes contributions from the leading scholars in this area, such as Barbara Adam, Mike Crang, Thomas Hylland Erikson, and Geert Lovink.

Election Preview
Elkins residents gathered Tuesday at the Elkins High School Auditorium to meet and greet candidates in contested races in the Elkins City Election set for March 5.
Candidates were introduced by The Inter-Mountain Publisher/General Manager Heather Goodwin Henline, followed by a five-minute introduction by each candidate. Questions submitted by members of the community and The Inter-Mountain staff allowed each candidate to share their stance on issues important to Elkins residents.
Charles Kinnison, incumbent for City Council in 1st Ward, thanked those attending the forum.
"It is important for you to be involved in your local government," Kinnison said. "I have worked with a strong council and want to see work continue. I am looking forward to the future. It is a privilege and an honor to hold a council seat."
Lonnie Randall is challenging Kinnison for the 1st Ward council seat.
"I am just an ordinary, average citizen – I am not a politician," Randall said. "But I want to work for this city. There has been lots done, but there is still lots that need to be done.
"I am not blowing my own horn, but blowing the horn for the 1st Ward citizens. I do not see a lot happening with our downtown area, and I want to get ideas together to help move Elkins forward."
Kinnison and Randall were asked to outline the three greatest issues facing 1st Ward. Kinnison said the first issue would be drugs.
"We need to focus on drug use in Elkins and all of West Virginia, and the focus needs to be the symptoms, not the disease," Kinnison said. "Our jails are overrun and we need to focus on the cause rather than the effect. If we cut off the supply, it won't cut off the demand. If we cut off the demand, they won't need a supply."
"Second, we need to make a long term plan to make Elkins a great place to live. Third is recycling – an item I have not done a lot of research on. I believe we need to look into electronics recycling."
Randall said his top issue is the city's proposed water treatment plant.
"I think we need to get the water treatment plant going," Randall said. "The money is there, but the ground has not been (broken). Let's get it going because our current water treatment plant is old and needs replaced. We need water.
"The drug problem is too large for such a small town. Every day you read about pills and meth. We are trying to add to our police force. (Elkins Police Chief) Rob (White) is doing a good job, and now we have a drug dog."
Randall said local resident Kathy Vance is trying to organize a drug task force and he would like to see the city and county get behind her.
"I also think we need to work hard and talk to department heads," Randall said. "When we ask them a question, we need to get an answer and go back to them if you don't get an answer. We need to have more follow-through to assure things get done."
Candidates for 4th Ward City Council are incumbent Nanci Bross-Fregonara and Hollis Vance.
Bross-Fregonara said city council members work hard and they have the best intentions for the city.
"I enjoy working with the Randolph County Development Authority and the Randolph County Commission," Bross-Fregonara said. "We can do great work when we work together in parallel directions. We need to make sure there is enough here to keep families from moving away. We want to have a vibrant downtown. We are a unique community and we need to attract more businesses."
Bross-Fregonara said she has tenacity and doesn't take no for an answer.
"Just because something did not work before does not mean that it cannot work now," she said. "If someone says we cannot have an ice skating rink, I want to know why. I will go down all roads to see why."
Vance thanked everyone for coming out and showing their support.
"My goal is to help the city improve," Vance said. "With the economy like it is we must work in a budget. I have a background in business, having owned my own companies."
Bross-Fregonara and Vance were asked to outline the three greatest issues facing 4th Ward.
Bross-Fregonara said she thinks the business climate in Elkins needs to be improved.
"We need to work to bring together the Chamber of Commerce, the county commission and the Randolph County Development Authority and find ways to work together," she said. "I think we need to utilize the property behind the City Building and the 11th Street Sanitation garage. Websites have bits of information on one or two sites, and we need a small business administration that would expand and make the environment attractive for new businesses."
Bross-Fregonara said new businesses are not necessarily competition for existing businesses.
"When there are more businesses they help one another," she said.
Vance said the city needs to continue to improve and maintain.
"I think we need to have free parking downtown to attract shoppers," he said. "We have hotels and motels and a couple of theaters. I think we need to promote our railyard."
Van Broughton, Mark Scott and incumbent Duke Talbott are competing for the mayor's seat.
Broughton said he brings the experience of serving under four different mayors to the table.
"In this campaign I have knocked on more than 1,100 doors and I have talked with and listened to the residents' concerns," Broughton said. "I want to bring more activities for the young folks. The water plant should begin construction by the end of summer. We have purchased Glendale Park and have added a skate park and are building new bathrooms. I have seen lots of positives."
Broughton said it is not about "I" but about "we" working together.
Talbott said the city has made some significant changes over the years.
"Mayor (Judy) Guye worked on the sewer and water and we are waiting for an approval from Charleston before we break ground and move ahead," Talbott said. "We found a funding package with a lower interest rate which will have a net savings of $14.5 million. We are making early payments and getting discounts for those payments, and have no late fees. Our budget is balanced and we are in the black."
Talbott said there have also been major changes in the Elkins City Police Force.
"It costs $40,000 to train an officer, and we had a problem with officers leaving for other agencies once they were trained," he said. "Since the changes were put into place, we have not had an officer leave for another department in four years.
"Substance abuse is a great challenge," Talbott said. "We now have a drug dog and a drug enforcement officer. We need to work together with those suffering any addictions to get them back into a productive lifestyle."
Scott said he considers it a privilege to live in Elkins and raise his family.
"We need to have a plan," Scott said. "We have problems with homes and rental properties in the area and new businesses are not coming here. I know we cannot tear down the 25 to 30 homes that need to be demolished, but we can do it one at a time."
Scott said since the town's landfill closed, the city of Elkins has in effect become the landfill.
"Since we removed free trash days, residents are dumping trash all over the city," he said. "I want Elkins to be the envy of West Virginia and to do that we need to look to other cities to change the way we do things."
All candidates agreed the old National Guard Armory building could be converted to include usable space for activities in the community.
"I would like to consider using the facility as an indoor soccer or indoor athletic space with conference rooms," Bross-Fregonara said.
Randall said he thought it would be a good space for elimination dinners or a roller skating rink.
Broughton said it may work if all civic organizations came together and it was used for seminars, youth and conventions.
"We also have to consider the green space, parking and classroom possibilities," Broughton said.
Kinnison agreed, saying it would only be feasible if many organizations came together.
"And these would have to be revenue-generating uses," Kinnison said. "It might also serve as an emergency shelter in time of need."
Scott said that if there were partnerships to use the facility, they would have to be agreed upon ahead of time.
"We would have to assure the city would not be dumped on and all entities would have to be responsible," Scott said. "I would love to see it used."
Talbott cautioned the need for much additional information before making decisions about using the building.
"Right now it is very much up in the air," Talbott said. "It has lots of potential for good, but we need more information."
Vance agreed that the use of the armory would have to be a money-making entity to get back the money put into the building.
The candidates discussed 911 mapping and took questions from audience members.
Henline thanked the candidates and audience members for their participation.
"We covered lots of interesting and informative topics," Henline said. "Come out and vote. Your voice does count."
The municipal forum will be televised at 7 p.m. Tuesday on WETV Channel 3.

Lapel Pins
Sort By:
Custom lapel pins are small, ornamental pins that are customarily worn on both men's and women's suit jackets. Similar to buttons and badges, they are worn frequently to show off a membership or affiliation. Typically shaped to reflect unique logos and representations of a particular group or organization, these items can be created using your distinct specifications to best display your image. So step up your marketing game and get your logo and company in front of potential and current customers to increase your brand recognition where it matters most, eye-level. Because when your customers know and remember your company, you are more likely to generate repeat sales and secure lifetime customers. Distributing custom lapel pins to top fundraisers is also a great way to thank individuals and organizations for their support while recognizing their hard work and achievements.

What Goes Around, Comes Around
As a born and bred Michigander, I know better than most that what goes around, comes around. The Pistons win it all a couple times in a row and then Michael Jordan comes along. Tigers go to the World Series one year and find themselves finishing behind the Royals two years later. And the Lions? Well, let's not even start with that.
But sometimes going around and coming around can be a good thing. Griffey starts off with the Mariners and now he comes back to the Mariners. Cecil Fielder belts some home runs and now Prince Fielder (occasionally) does the same. However, I think I found something that epitomizes the upside of what goes around, comes around.
Happy Friday! Hope I didn't just blow your mind.

I always told that Clown College dean that taking in the ex-meth addicts as students/clients in a intervention/ rehabilitation program might lead to a disaster.
Guess we better be glad they did not have access to the giant feet or the company clown Car. They all could have gotten away in that model.
I loved it.
That will start out my weekend on a good note after the squirrell suicidal moments I have had the past three days.
Just what the doctor ordered………100 CC of Clown Crime.

Okay – now that was just plain weird! And I don't think it's the wine talking! lol!
My head hurts after watching that and I don't feel any smarter, Allen, which is a complete turn for you. Have you been juicing?
It may not fall into your "karma" category but just make sure you don't forget that red colored hockey team from around here
As I was reading, I saw the tell-tale sign of the YouTube video, and I got happy. There are always great videos in this blog. Then I saw the clown. Those are my biggest fear, so I'm not watching the video. I'm sad now. 😦
Boys, will we have a post on Manny soon? He has entered into regular people's bs radar, I know because I am sad enough to read perezhilton regularly.
/Bailey Bing
I love that Griffey Jr. is back on the Mariners. Kind of how a few years ago, the Marlins signed Conine to a one day contract or something so that he could retire with them. That's a creepy clown, by the way.
MANNY MANNY MANNY MANNY MANNY MANNY. Yes, Bailey Bing, we got it covered… from the RSBS angle though, of course. RSBS staffers are busy investigating the uninvestigated and Allen will report Sunday.
Glad I didn't watch that until this morning…I'd have had nightmares of killer clowns! Creepy…
Oh wow.. that video was weird but siickk.. I don't even know what to say about it, lol..
I'm hoping the "what goes around, comes around" mantra is true, b/c Yanks need some Red Sox beating payback.

text: I don't really agree. I mean, we aren't the best 3 point shooting team in the league. But we have enough perimeter scorers to last us. Smith, Kidd, Felton, Melo, Novak all can shoot the 3 pretty consistently. I know Smith is streaky, but I would still have faith in the open 3. Plus we have one more roster spot. I'm hoping for another great shooter. Maybe a Michael Redd, unless they go K-Mart. I'll be okay with that too

Least I can say .."I got to see Giambi play"
The Rockpile Rant Salutes "Jason Giambi"
There is no athelete I have enjoyed photographing more the last two seasons than Jason Giambi. When I heard he was picked up by the Rockies I was one happy blogger.
I think the timing of Giambi becoming a Rockie was perfect. He was the right fix/fit at the moment and proved his worth right from the beginning.
Below is my favorite picture of Giambi that I have taken. It is one of only two things I'd love to get the slugger to autograph. I took this picture on 4/24/2010
The other thing I'd love to have him sign is the homerun ball he hit into the batters eye inside Isotopes park in Albquerque on 4/4/10.
Here's the actual video of me doing the deed…I just had to.
If you've never seen it, during that game Brad Eldred and Jason Giambi both hit home runs into the batters eye. Long story short, I couldn't leave a Giambi homerun ball just sitting there…
Here's the video of me sucessfully acquiring both baseballs.
I was able to get Brad Eldred to sign his homerun ball early on in the season.
I still have not had an opportunity to get Jason to sign either his homerun ball or my picture of him in the air.
Most of the folks I know who were able to get Jason to sign for them managed to get it done while Jason was playing in Colorado Springs for the AAA Sky Sox. They all said he was totally cool and stopped and chatted with them and would sign almost anything.
When I tell you I like a player there is actually a lot that goes into my thought process. Statistics don't mean a whole lot to me. I spend a lot of time at Coors Field and I get to see most all the players in different stages of the season or the day.
You know, goofing off having fun, taking hits during BP, warm-ups, the interactions with the fans just before the game starts.
So I watch how the players act around the other players and how they interact with the fans who so desperately just want them to come over and say hi, or sign a memento for them.
I feel so fortunate to have been able to see Giambi play here at Coors. There are only a few Rockies who can pump up Coors Field in seconds like seeing Giambi grab that bat.
Giambi could, he did it every time he walked up to the plate.
I'm not sure but for some reason Jim Tracy liked to put Giambi in the game right about the time I was in line for the facilities. Two of the all-time finest first basemen in baseball and we were lucky enough to watch these dudes live.
You just know Jason Giambi has something to say to every player. I'd love to have an hour to pick his brain.
I bet just being his presence for an hour would be highly entertaining and extremely educational.
Alanna Rizzo interviewing Jason after his walk-off win Giambi's walk off Homer
Giambi was just a natural fit around here.
Although I can't personally brag Giambi up for signing my stuff and I always watched to see if he would come out and warm-up pre-game. What really happened was I devoted many hours to a nobel cause (so I thought) and I just never happened.
BUT SURPRISE…At least for me there is a lesson in all this is. I'm realizing that in reality what I cherish more is the memory of seeing him hit that ball and me climbing down after it at game's end.
I could possibly lose the Giambi baseball but I'll never forget the memory. Especially not if there's video proof🙂.
Jason.. "Thanks for the good times, giving me the chance to see you play and making a brotha see something in a new light. Believe me that ain't easy because I wear some dark sunglasses. Good Luck "G" wherever you may be.
I'm "D" The Rockpile Ranter… GO ROCKIES!!

Haha . . . I love that vid of you. Thanks for posting it again. 😀
Also love that I got to see Jason play for the Rox, and especially love that I was there to see that walkoff against the BoSox. Awesome!
Hey D,
I think the pix of Giambi catching that ball is one of the most amazing I have ever seen. You ability to catch shots like that is unbelievable and I too have luved having Jason on our team.
Can't wait for Thursday and hope luvmyrox is going to make it. Looking forward to seeing you and the rest of the gang.
can't watch the video D, gives me an error when I try to play it on here & it takes a while for it to load on your YouTube pages then when it's done it doesn't play. ='( need a new comp for xmas I guess LOL.Missyhttp://rocktober-2007.mlblogs.comhttp://purpleluv.mlblogs.com
Thought Giambi gave your team a nice threat off the bench last year.
The guy always seems to have those serial killer eyes when they do a face-front photo on the JUmbotron. Not sure if he does that that wide-eyed, no blinking stare on purpose to get into an opponent's head, or that is just his focus during a game.
Great photos, and hopefully some day you will get those items signed…maybe in 2011.
Met him at Ferg's right next to Tropicana Field when he was with the A's. Very personable and a great guy with the fans.
My friend actually was giving them a ride back to the Vinoy Hotel and somehow they ended up in Tampa with Giambi, his brother and Jason Isringhausen all looking for an all night pizza joint…..They had to settle for an IHop…But think of the food put away at that grub fest. (lol)

Really great debut. Definitely better than some of their later albums. xD
Written by RavenKing on 15.08.2010 at 19:27I'm really not a Death Metal fan but I would say it's the only Nile album I can moderately enjoy. They went too much plain Brutal Death after this album.
Written by Angelic Storm on 15.08.2010 at 20:20
Although I like quite a lot of Nile's later stuff as well, the reason why I have a particular fondness for the debut, is the sound is more textured, and the egyptian influences are allowed to shine through a lot more. This is also why "Black Seeds Of Vengeance" is the album of theirs I like the least. The brutality is a tad too overwhelming, which for a band like Nile, who's uniqueness all comes from their egyptian influenced sound, wasnt a good thing. The debut is brutal, but not overtly so. So the songs, and their unique sounds have much more room to breath. Really, it is IMO one of the classic death metal debuts, and one of the very few that is also compellingly original.

I dont know why but i cannot fucking get into this album. i listened to it many many times with no good result. i was expecting for something great...


text: An unstable guy went nuts and killed a bunch of people. The comments below are extremely interesting. It's interesting that there have been countless Christian and Jewish serial killers and rampage killers in the US, but in this instance the vast majority of sentiment is about painting this guy as a 'typical' crazy Muslim, whose allegiance is automatically questioned because of his faith. I wonder if similar broad accusations about allegiance would be allowed anytime an Israeli American was caught spying on America, or being allowed to craft national Middle Eastern foreign policy.

His photos for public consumption might say one thing, but this A list actor has both feet out the door from his husband
. Our actor is enjoying his time away from home and has different hookups almost every night.
Sheldon coops as a back up. Nice triciaReplyCancel
Leave Hedwig alone! E always says NPH is a cheater. Even the Cheyenne Jackson blind was worded so it could be NPH.ReplyCancel
Neil Patrick was just making a statement of how happy he is with his family.ReplyCancel
What I find interesting is that NPH reportedly cheats with women as well as men. Like the idea of a more flexible definition of sexuality. I think in 20 years the idea of 'gay' or 'straight' will be as old-fashioned as the idea that the racial makeup of America is exclusively 'white' or 'black.'ReplyCancel
I think Shakespeare said something about this type of protest.?ReplyCancel
Maybe they have a open marriage. To each his own.ReplyCancel
Going by Auntie Enty's previous blinds & subsequent reveal(s), methinks it's Matt Bomer, who's a big flirt. Okay, ho. Sad. He used to be pretty well-behaved or perhaps discreet before he became a big star.ReplyCancel
Matt Bomer. Then again he's tv actor.ReplyCancel
random hook-up blinds are getting boring.ReplyCancel
Nph has been tired of supporting David burtka for a Long time.. He arranged for him to get that hosting job on E! A few years ago because he's sick of David just laying around spending his money. The selling of the CA property might have been his 1st step in dumping David. No communal property to sell just pay him off to go especially if the kids are Neill biologically.ReplyCancel
Wait for it!!!!!ReplyCancel

Public consumption? Got to be a reference to NPH's Heineken ads.ReplyCancel
Those kids look like Burtka, their 'random sperm bathing' of the donor eggs came up in his favor both times. He gave up his last two to his ex (they are now teenagers), I suppose he would fight tooth and nail for this pair.
Rumors that NPH sleeps with women? LOL. Glad to know gossip is still wrong at least 50% of the time.ReplyCancel

Representing: ECU
Gender: Female
Athlete Year of Birth: 1987

Athlete Biography
Since I was a girl I liked being physically active, and for that reason I participated in ballet and sports. Before triathlon, I was a swimmer, and ran 5 and 10 km races (even winning a medal in a South American championship). I began triathlon thanks to my current president, Cornelio Serrano; he saw promise in me, and lent me cycling equipment: helmet, shoes, and their daughter's bicycle.
My family has had the most influence on my sporting career, and my biggest obstacle to overcome has been living away from my parents, since they are a fundamental pillar of my life. Both my mother and father are artisans, and in their youth were 5 and 10 km runners. They competed in school races and within the city, because there was not country-wide support for sport as there is today. It's a bit funny: my grandparents didn't like it that their children were involved in sports because it was considered a waste of time. My sister was a gold medal-swimmer in Ecuador in the 400 and 800 meter swim.
My favorite ITU race is the La Paz ITU Pan American Cup, because there is a party atmosphere to the town, and a feeling that the whole town is excited for us to arrive and to compete. There is a feeling that participation is more important than finish time, and the onlookers cheer us on regardless of who wins.
My personal best swim time (1500m) is 19:16, bike (40km) 1 hour 6 minutes, and run (10 km) 35 minutes. During a typical training week, I swim six hours, bike eight hours, and run four hours. My triathlon goal is to participate in the Olympic Games.
I live in Costa Rica for three months out of the year, and my life revolves around the daily training required for triathlon. I also work when I can as a physiotherapist for a cycling team, and study English online during my free time.
Athlete Sponsors: BANSOL
Athlete Language: Spanish
Athlete Education: University degree
Athlete Proudest Moment: Outside of triathlon, my graduation from college as a physical therapist, as well as my participation in ballet until I was 16. Within triathlon, I am proud of my progress in the sport and how it has helped me to grow as a person.
Athlete Coach: M.A. Roberto Solano

The right stepsMarch 18,2014
Crossover day officially marks the midway point of the legislative session. Now the real politicking begins. Fortunately, some action aimed at helping Vermonters has already gained the proper traction.
At the beginning of the session, the governor announced new poverty reduction initiatives as part of his budget address. In part, he announced about $2.5 million in state money, which, when matched, would yield more than $4 million in combined state and federal funds. The bulk of the money went to housing doubling the Vermont rental subsidy and holding emergency shelters harmless from sequester cuts Reach Up and support for early education.
In addition, lawmakers have been considering three bills to address housing, hunger and to reward hard work, as some advocates have characterized the trio. All three bills were passed out by the House Human Services Committee last week on strong votes. That is encouraging news.
H.620 is legislation that would hold harmless families who received overpayments in food stamps as a result of agency errors. The state is under sanction for errors in its 3Squares VT program. Some families who received small overpayments that may have gone on unbeknownst to them for years suddenly received notices declaring they have to pay the money back.
While the state does allow repayments to be done in small increments, the prevailing feeling is that the families did nothing wrong and trusted the state to get their benefits correct. Low-income families cannot afford bills incurred as a result of the states failure to accurately calculate benefits. While it is a federal requirement that the money be repaid, the legislation would require the state to cover the cost for the three years the state has been under sanction for high error rates.
In addition, H.699 reduces the amount of income demanded from homeless families who access temporary shelter through the general assistance program from 50 percent to no more than 30 percent. Current rules dictate that families are asked to pay half of any income they receive to cover their shelter costs.
Vermont already faces a serious gap between wages and housing costs. A common rule of thumb is that families should not pay more than a third of their income in housing costs in order to maintain a stable housing budget. That the states rules require homeless Vermonters to pay half their income is contrary to sound public housing policy. Certain advocates are pushing to make zero the amount to access temporary shelter.
Lastly, H.790 would help families on Reach Up earn and save more. For years, various advocates and policy wonks have talked about the so-called benefits cliff, or the disincentive that occurs when people receiving public benefits go to work and suddenly find themselves working longer and harder for less because every dime made means a dime taken away in benefits. This legislation addresses the benefit cliff by making work more attractive.
Currently, someone on the Reach Up program may save up to only $2,000 in assets before losing eligibility. This sends a message to low-income families that saving is bad. Thats the wrong message. State policy should encourage low-income families to save and create their own personal safety nets to help stabilize precarious financial situations while helping to keep them in the workforce. The bill more than doubles what families are allowed to save up to $5,000 before they lose eligibility for the program.
Taken together with the governors poverty reduction budget priorities, these bills represent real progress in combating poverty in Vermont. The House Human Services Committee deserves credit for advancing all three bills before crossover. And the Legislature should act decisively to endorse the work that complements the administrations other poverty reduction priorities.MORE IN EditorialsProtesters converged on a bank in Montpelier early this week to show their solidarity with the...

Androids vs. I phone 10/5/12
"The headphone jack is going to be on the bottom!" In this TV commercial, Samsung makes fun of Apple fans - claiming that Android phones have had better features and capabilities than the iPhone 5 for ages. "This year we're finally getting everything that we didn't get last year." Back in the labs, Consumer Reports puts all the phones through their paces, assessing each one's features and options. First - display. Everyone wants a big screen to watch movies, play games, and use apps. While the iPhone 5's four-inch screen is Apple's biggest yet, it can't compare with the screens on many Android phones. Mike Gikas "Voice-control is another area of competition. Here Android capabilities are quite good, though they're no match for Siri, who can understand and execute more complex commands." Mike Gikas "Find me a theater that's playing a Bruce Willis movie." Siri "OK, I found some theaters not far from Yonkers." Next up -navigation. Mike Gikas "Android has more detailed maps, better traffic info, and more customization. Apple has a few glitches, and until those are worked out, Android carries the day." With everyone using their phone to take pictures, how do the cameras affect your Apple-or-Android choice? While both the iPhone and some Android phones have the ability to take panoramic stills, Consumer Reports finds when it comes to photo and video quality, the iPhone 5 outperforms the Android competition. Dawn Yancy "Let me check some restaurants online." What if you want to talk on the phone and connect to the Internet over the cellular network at the same time? All 4G phones can do that, but not the iPhone 5 on Verizon or Sprint. So while the iPhone 5 gets many things right, so do a lot of the top-rated Android phones - making them worth consideration. ."

A chilly day and nosebleed seats did not stop me from enjoying a fantastic day at PNC Park, the first time in '09. The Pirates were not fazed by the elements either as they shalacked the Astros 7-0. Zach Duke's complete game, 4 hit shutout in fron of 38,000 plus fans was truly a sight to behold.
These bulleted points will outline my day in Pittsburgh and at the most beautiful park in the MLB.
Woke up at 8 and was on the road by 9, hour trip up 1-79 and right into the heart of downtown Pittsburgh
The first stop was in the strip district for a good taste of the 'Burgh Primanti Brothers. As always nothing tastes better than slaw, tomatoes, cheese, fries and the meat of your choice in between two slices of delectable italian bread. My friends in my group were virgins to the delicacy and enjoyed every morsal of their breakfast.
It's not every day I get to take in the ambiance of the markets and shops of the Strip so we took in some time along Smallman Street. We stopped in many nooks of the authentic Pittsburgh stores. I enjoyed the custom t-shirts that were for sale but I'm not the biggest Penguins fan and there was enough Pens shirts to clothe the country of Thailand.
After getting back to the car we drove a few feet to the David L. Lawrence convention center where we parked.
We found a spot and made the trek across the river to the field of green. It was the first time I had ever walked across the Clemente Bridge. It really wasn't a long walk and the weather was very nice.
Upon entrance to the stadium I was prepared to recieve a magnetic schedule and and a brief hello from the ticket takers. I was pleasantly surprised when I recieved not only a magnetic schedule, not only a friendly hello, but also a commemorative opening day cap. While I will never wear that hat, or any free give away hat, it is definately a nice momento on an occasion I will not soon forget.
As we were already in left field we headed to the left field bleachers for batting practice. We met up with my father and little brother along the left field fence and tried our best to snag some BP balls. As a high fly ball headed right over my head, I boxed out those around me and reached to the sky with my bare hands. BAD IDEA not only did my concrete hands deflect the ball, my hands stung for at least two hours. (Note to self: BRING A STINKING GLOVE)
After the Astro's had the equipment packed up we checked out the team store for new merchandise. Going against my plan of buying a Doumit t-shirt ($27 dollars…come on) I purchased a Nate McClouth All Star T-shirt ($12 dollars…much more reasonable dontcha think)
We headed to our seats up in section 302…very last row. Right along the river, it gets cold. The westerdly winds were blowing all game long and never ceased. We were icicles by the ninth inning. My brother and dad who were on the other side of the field said they were actually hot. Unfathomable for me and my friends to believe.
While the weather was less than ideal the game surely did not dissapoint. 3 triples by Freddy Sanchez, a homerun by Adam LaRoche in April, another dinger compliments of Ryan Doumit and unhittable pitches by Zach Duke. Everything seemed to come together for the Bucs on the fireld.
Every Pirate in the starting lineup notched a hit and the Pirates even batted around in the 4th inning.
After raising the Jolly Roger and exiting the park I high fived the saxophone guy and requested country roads. Which he played, but also dissed my Ian Snell jersey.
- I surely underestimated the downtown Pittsburgh traffic after the game and after work for downtown business. While sitting in the stand still traffic i called into 104.7 and proposed to Rocco Demiro an 85 win season for the Pirates. He was very taken aback by the overly optomistic proposition, but after my explanation of our outstanding pitching staff and potent hitting we can definately pull it off.
Me and my bro, Zach before the game

Wow dude my day was really similar to yours, only we went to Dennys and I was not cold in my seat haha. I also got on roccos show and I made a stupid question about a foot race with nyjer duffy mccutchen and Randall simon LOL I probably sounded like a major jag off. I think I heard u on the show, I remember someone saying 85 wins. Did u mention the rays in it call?? Anyways, it was a great game and I can't wait to go back wednesday! Haha
I am so jealous that you got to go to an Opening Day. Must be one hell of an atmosphere anywhere you go. I hope your hands are okay! I would definitely find a way to break my hands doing something like that.
I was really concerned when I read this title. I thought there was another Duke University fan I had to deal with. Luckily I was wrong. Glad you had a good time at Opening Day even if it was cold.

Coming up....
But this is just a general program, you can add this to stuff you're already doing. It's really the most I can do since Im not able to take your measurements and give you a fitness test.
I'm thinking something like fruit juice, or maybe I'll even just have to get a carb replacement drink...
Don't know whether fruit juice is suitable since most of those carbs are sugars.
I got a car loan so I'm getting one very soon, so it's gonna be tough going to the gym and getting the diet for me. I'm still getting a new camera and laptop too since I want to be a photographer. Hopefully I can figure out a way to add in the gym and diet into this.

Metro, you're the man
Ima start Monday.. whens the best time of day to start and how long of a break should I have before doing core?
Also does anyone have any tricks or tips for working out when it's really hot/humid?
It's like 27c+ in NZ right now super humid, every time I work out I start to feel sick from the heat halfway through and it's really tough to finish a workout.
I usually eat a sandwich, fruit, protein shake, plenty of water before I do my workout so I don't think it's a nutrition issue.
You won't find that information online, it's like a hidden technique amongst exercise scientist...what it does is keeps your cardiovascular endurance at a maintain level instead of hitting a wall and falling from a plateu. High body temperature affected brain function and the drive to exercise, as animals (humans especially) we stop exercising at a certain temperature so it's natural.
If you can't drink a sip of water every 5 minutes, try 10. Just a little bit, not too much it may lead to a stomach cramp.
My dude, I never knew you lived in NZ I thought you were from the USA.
Now sugar in soda is a different story.
it would be very difficult to eat absolutely no sugar, since it exists naturally in many healthy foods, including dairy products, fruits and quite a few vegetables. The amount of sugar naturally present in unprocessed, natural foods is relatively low, and when these foods are eaten as part of a well-balanced diet, the total calorie contribution from sugar is very small.
So you're good.
^ Haha I revealed where I lived in that gameday video last year! "Coming to you live from Auckland New Zealand"
Ok sweet yeah that's no worries I can do a gulp every 5 minutes. Ice cold?
Damn I just weighed myself today for the first time in over a year. I've gone from 65kg to 77kg... Some of that is fat for sure but no way I've put on 12kg of fat (my waist has grown maybe 1-2 inches). I'm pretty shocked to be honest, I don't notice myself gaining much at all but I guess I have.
In a way that news sucks because I'm fatter than I thought but then again it's promising to know I can add 12kg of weight in like a year. If I balance my diet correctly I can hopefully add some more as muscle or at least maintain 77kg~ and convert some of that weight into muscle.
If theres a place outside where you can run, use it.
For example
Monday Weds and Friday
4 sprints x15m
3mins jogging
4sprints x10m
3 mins easy jogging
4sprints x 5m
repeat this twice.
Tuesday Thursday Saturday
15 40 yard sprints
40 seconds rest in between each.
Try to begin your workouts as early as possible so your body can have enough time to rest and recover throughout the day and the sleep will help even more for recovery.
MetroCard I am trying to drop 30 lbs by May whats good with helping me out on this in terms of cardio program
I squat down to a low sitting position and back up, so it's not as intensive as a regular squat as there is a very brief (1 second) rest between the decline and incline. I just do it because I'm sure it's better than nothing.
My workout is like this, mon/wed/fri:
3 sets push ups x 12
3 sets bench press x 12
3 sets squats x 12
3 sets bicep curl x 12
3 sets overhead press x 12
3 sets dumbbell lunge x 12
Try High Intensity Interval training, it worked with all my clients. I had a 57 year old jewish lady from 42nd street with arthritis and breast cancer lose 17 pounds in a month. I only trained her twice a week!
HIIT ProtocolHigh-intensity interval training (HIIT) describes any workout that alternates between intense bursts of activity and fixed periods of less-intense activity or even complete rest. For example, a good starter workout is running as fast as you can for 1 minute and then walking for 2 minutes. Repeat that 3-minute interval five times for a 15-minute,
High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)After a 5 week conditioning period on a recumbent cycle, The High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) group perform sprints while the Endurance Training (ET) group performed a more traditional aerobic protocol, throughout the remaining 15 weeks. Both groups progressed in intensity. At the conclusion of the study, the HIIT group lost over 3 times as much subcutaneous fat as the ET group despite expending less than half as many calories. For every calorie expended during HIIT, there was a nine fold loss of subcutaneous body fat, as compared to the ET group.
5 minute warm-up at 50% HRR
Short-interval work
Initially 10 and later 15 bouts
15 seconds increasing to 30 seconds
4 to 5 bouts
60 seconds increasing to 90 seconds
Bouts separated by recovery periods allowing heart rate to return to 120 to 130 bpm
Heres my routine for you.
If you have access to a treadmill, this will be one of your tools.
HIIT on Treadmill
2 minute walk (at 3.0 speed) (warmup)
Cycle 1
1 minute run (at 6.0 speed)
30 second sprint (at 8.0-9.0 speed, not sure what you're comfortable at)
30 second walk (at 3.0 speed)
Repeat Cycle 7 times
That's only 14 minutes of cardio, which burns and equivalent of an hour of cardio.
Tuesday Thursday you rest, you can do long distance cardio (jog for 30-40 minutes)
On Saturday, I will punish you.
15 minute total nonstop workout
1. Mount climbers - 1 minute
2. Plank - 1 minute
3. Squat jumps - 1 minute
4. Jack Knives - 1 minute
5. Burpees - 1 minute
6. Side plank - 30 seconds on each side
7. Plank Press up - 1 minute
8. Plank 1 minute
9. Stand up and throw punches for a minute (boxing)
10. Bicycle crunches 1 minute
11. Tuck Jumps 1 minute
12. Plank 1 minute minute
13. Sumo Squat on the toes 1 minute
14. Jack knives 1 minute
15. Split Lunges 1 minute
Jackknife sit up
Plank Press up Exercise
Tuck Jumps
YouTube the rest of the exercises for further instructions.
Try stick to cleaner carbs is possible, fruit juice in high amount contains a lot of sugar. White rice is a great post workout option as it is absorbed into the body quicker than a lot of other carb sources, refueling your body quicker.
Try to get your carbs from a wide variety of healthy sources, like white rice, brown rice, oats, wholemeal pasta, sweet potato, fruit (2-3 servings max as high in sugar) and vegetables. People often look to less healthy sources of carbs as they are highly calorie dense but these often have bad fats and high amounts of sugar in them. As opposed to the healthy carb sources which are packed full of vitamins & minerals.
Can do either but eating clean food while bulking up will result in you gaining less bodyfat along the way. So as shown in the table below, clean eating and diet may be the difference between being the guy in the middle and being the guy in the right, obviously having been working out optimally for a year or even more based on where you started.

They've been transitioning since May 3, when head coach Mike McCarthy and offensive line coach James Campen broke the news to them.
But while the Green Bay Packers offensive linemen have been adjusting to their new roles through an alphabet soup of offseason work – from their individual position work (IPWs) to their organized team activity (OTA) practice to the mandatory minicamp to one more week of OTAs – they were unanimous about this much: Now, everything changes, now that they're in pads.
"Pads tell you a lot," said left tackle-turned-right tackle Marshall Newhouse. "All this stuff before and OTAs, you can only do so much, especially as an offensive lineman. Pads are a big deal for us."
That's not to say that all the offseason work wasn't important. With Newhouse and guard T.J. Lang moving from the left side to the right side, and tackle Bryan Bulaga and guard Josh Sitton moving from the right side to the left, all their techniques had been flipped, as if in a mirror. That left-footed kick-step is now a right-footed one, that right-arm punch is now a left jab. Working on those techniques in individual settings, small groups and non-padded 11-on-11 sessions was valuable, without a doubt. But not until you've got Clay Matthews trying to beat you to the edge or B.J. Raji and Datone Jones trying to knock you on your keister do you truly get to gauge your progress.
"Definitely. It was great having the offseason, working through our footwork and the right stances and all that stuff, but you put the pads on and you simulate what you're going to do in a game. That's the most important training that we get," Lang explained. "You've got to take advantage of that fundamental period, those team periods, every rep you get, just to make sure you're focusing on all that work that we put in the last couple months. These are the days you want to make all those practice reps count."
Although the players enjoyed a collective bargaining agreement-mandated day off on Monday, they did have their first padded practice on Sunday and will be in pads the next five days, including Saturday's Family Night Scrimmage. There will be three more padded practices on Aug. 6, 7 and 8 in advance of the preseason opener against Arizona on Aug. 9.
Among the periods that are most valuable in practice for the offensive linemen are the fundamental periods, where they work on the finer aspects of their techniques; the 1-on-1 pass-blocking drills against the defensive linemen and outside linebackers, when their pass protection is put to the test; what's called a "combo period," where the line is essentially split in half and running backs run behind their combination blocks against a defensive front; and 11-on-11 competitive periods.
For McCarthy, the tape of Sunday's practice was the most valuable to date in evaluating the progress of his displaced linemen, whether it was watching how Sitton and Lang work in concert with center Evan Dietrich-Smith from opposite sides, or whether Newhouse has improved the finer points of his techniques, or if Bulaga, who was lost for the season to a hip injury last November, looks like his old self.
"The fundamental tape, the half-line drill really for the first day was pretty good," McCarthy said. "We were able to get a lot of reps and that's really an extension of the run-blocking period, the team run period. So you actually have two team run periods. Just getting the fits and the footwork, the proper leverage points, hands and target – you can't do it enough.
"The film is very valuable. We'll watch it all (after practice), we'll correct it all afternoon and I'll make some corrections in the team meeting (at night) and we'll move on to the next install."
According to Lang, the combo period was especially important. Even though he and Newhouse – and Sitton and Bulaga – are still basically paired up, there's still an adjustment in doing it from the opposite side.
"It's against live action, it's what we see in games, working in small groups like that, working on our combo blocks and going against the defense like that -- live, with pads on – you're going to feel like a game situation," Lang explained. "For us, every rep we do in pads is definitely important."
While the best summer evaluation will come from the preseason games – particularly the third one against Seattle on Aug. 23, which should be the starting five's dress rehearsal for the Sept. 8 regular-season opener at San Francisco – the next 10 days are critical. By the time they play host to the Cardinals at Lambeau Field, the Packers will have had more padded practices completed (nine) than they'll have scheduled for the rest of training camp (six).
"I don't know, but I would think a couple weeks of being in pads and stuff, and then we'll probably be where we need to be," Sitton replied when asked how long he thinks it'll take to get comfortable. "There's still adjustments. I don't feel 100 percent over there yet. It's going to take time. There's a lot of different things that you have to work on. It's not just, 'Oh, just being over there for a month and getting a feel for it.' There's a lot of different things that we do with footwork, handwork, hand placement, different plays, and you're just not trying to think of one thing for the day and try to work on that until I can get comfortable with that one thing and keep on moving down the list.
"We get a lot of work in the offseason, the OTAs and in practice, but it's really about the pads and the live bullets flying at you is when you see how you're going to really do. That's what we do, we play games in pads. I think that'll really be the start of it. And I think it'll take maybe a week or two into training camp to be feeling close to 100 percent over there."

Yujean Kang's 20th anniversary specials educate the discriminating diner
By Dan O'Heron 08/25/2011
Chef Yujean Kang, now in his 20th year in Pasadena, admits that he has cared as much about cultivating sophisticated tastes as indulging them.
Kang strongly indicated to me that he would like more Pasadenans to learn what it's like to eat in the finer restaurants of Hong Kong, Shanghai and Taipai — not the hotel restaurants for tourists, but private places that cater to traders and shoguns. And, if the fleet's in, sailors with gold stripes, not watch caps.
"Many people come to my restaurant only because they've heard that it's the thing to do. And many," confided Kang, "do not have subtle enough tastes to appreciate what fine dining is all about."
Not speaking in a haughty or disdainful way, but more in the tone of a teacher imbuing a class with the love of learning, Kang has set up lesson plans for his 20th anniversary that should court a wider audience for distinctive eating.
With many new, moderately priced lunch and dinner specials, Kang's endeavors seem like he's trying not so much to show off in directing his audience, but assisting people in those disciplines of eating on which meaningful judgments are made. And he likes to admit that the tougher the audience, the better: A good eater makes for a good cook.
Pure hunger is not fussy about the food that feeds it. Kang reminds us that the best appetites develop as one digs in to carefully prepared dishes served in the right sequence, like his new $20-per-person dinner tasting special.
In this, you begin with savory, thin-walled shrimp and garlic and chive dumplings, followed by a hot and sour fish chowder. With the welcome taste of a fisherman's stew made fresh from the sea, the chowder should heighten your expectations for the entreés.
Guests can choose from six, including a crispy filet of beef tenderloin with baby bok choy (a white mustard cabbage) or a sauteéd filet of beef tenderloin with snow peas — those tiny delectable seeds in an almost translucent green pod. Another choice is a sautéed fish filet in Chinese rice and wine sauce with wood ear mushrooms that are cut to delightfully absorb the taste of the ingredients.
On Fridays and Saturdays only, another choice is a pork belly with peppery mustard greens and tofu knots. Chef Kang has an alchemic knack for turning high-protein bean curds into healthy gourmet treats. Like the wood ear mushroom, tofu has a little nutty flavor of its own but maintains the chameleon-like capability of sponging up and changing flavors to match the foods with which it is prepared.
Recently at a tofu dinner with matching wines, Kang prepared five special tofu dishes, including ones with chicken and Chinese ham and beef and sour cabbage. Compared to other Chinese restaurants, Kang's wine list is what Dom Perignon is to Diet Pepsi. In fact, it's better than that: Moet Chandon, Dom Perignon, 2002, Epernay at $250 a bottle reflects only a median price on his tête de cuvée menu.
Back on Earth, geared to court a wider audience, more than 20 lunch specials at $7 and $8 each will stand up to the toughest cost/benefit analysis. Served with chicken salad and steamed jasmine rice, dishes include shrimp with minced chicken, Chinese eggplant with ground pork, miso, soy sauce and shaved bonito — the strongest flavored of all tunas — plus spicy tofu with ground pork.
Oddly, those of Kang's teachings that extend the horizons of Chinese cookery beyond chop suey seem to be more appreciated by exchange students than locals: In 1999, he cooked a full course dinner for the James Beard Foundation in New York. Rave reviews have appeared in outstanding eastern media outlets like Gourmet and Esquire magazines. Usually, it doesn't matter how California restaurants boil, bake or sauté, eastern writers leave no burn unstoned.
Appearing in Los Angeles Times Magazine, Irene Virbila wrote of one Kang creation: "Rolled with a smear of plum sauce into crepes, the succulent bird is as good a Peking duck as I've had in this country and I feel lucky to be eating it."
It's time for more lucky Pasadenans to go to class.

Panel rejects new prescribing authority for naturopathic physiciansBy Neal P. Goswami
VERMONT PRESS BUREAU | September 23,2013MONTPELIER A set of rules proposed by the Secretary of States Office of Professional Regulation to revise the prescribing authority of naturopathic physicians has been rejected, at least temporarily, by a legislative panel.
The Administrative Rules Committee, following a hearing Thursday, rejected the proposal by OPR after finding that procedural mistakes were made during the rule-making process.
The proposed new rules are the result of recent changes to a law governing naturopathic physicians, who typically use natural, holistic remedies to treat patients. They are currently granted limited prescribing authority in Vermont.
The Vermont Legislature passed Act 116 last year revising the prescribing authority of naturopathic physicians, who are not considered medical doctors. The law created a special license endorsement authorizing them to prescribe, dispense, and administer prescription medicines. It eliminates the formulary in place that currently allows naturopaths to prescribe some medications.
A formulary is a list of drugs the practitioner is allowed to prescribe based on his or her education and training.
Vermont Medical Society Executive Vice President Paul Harrington said the proposed rules would allow naturopathic physicians to prescribe all drugs, including narcotics, without limitation. The society does not believe they have the education or clinical experience to be granted that authority, he said.
Mike Jawer, director of government and public affairs for the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians, said the scope of practice for naturopaths varies from state to state. Vermont, however, is among a handful of states that grant broad powers.
Vermont is not unique. Its in a class with several other states as far as having a pretty wide scope (of practice), he said.
Naturopaths do receive education and training on prescribing medications, Jawer said, but they tend to focus on natural healing agents instead.
They do train in naturopathic medical school to be able to dispense medications, and in effect do practice as primary care physicians. They dont always get that opportunity in every state, he said.
According to the AANP website, naturopaths treat all medical conditions, including cancer.
Vermont Health Commissioner Dr. Harry Chen said Friday the proposed rules would not expand the scope of practice for naturopaths in Vermont. Although the formulary that limits their prescribing authority is being removed, naturopaths will still only be able to prescribe medications within their current scope of practice.
This is not expanding the scope of practice for naturopaths. Naturopaths have their own scope of practice and theyre professionals, he said. They are trained and educated to do certain things. What we expect, just like we expect with dentists or podiatrists, is that they are going to practice within their scope.
So, Chen said, a naturopath could prescribe pain medications if they were properly trained but would be more likely to turn to other modalities.
According to Act 116, once rules are approved a license endorsement to prescribe medication will be available in Vermont to naturopaths who pass a naturopathic pharmacology exam. The law required the director of OPR to consult with and receive recommendations from Chen on rules regulating the endorsement.
Act 116 also required a report by OPR to include specific findings on whether naturopathic physicians receive sufficient academic training in pharmacology and clinical training to safely prescribe a full range of drugs. The report was to be done in consultation with clinical pharmacists and pharmacologists, as well as the University of Vermont College of Medicine.
Curtis Benjamin, counsel for OPR, told the Administrative Rules Committee Thursday that the offices report found that naturopathic physicians should be allowed to prescribe medication within their scope of practice.
However, he also told the committee that clinical pharmacists were not consulted as the law required because he was unaware there was a difference between pharmacists and clinical pharmacists. Still, Benjamin said the report created by OPR included requisite information from medical professionals.
That group was consulted with, other than that clinical pharmacist piece, he said. I believe we have received comments from these professionals and taken them into consideration.
Lawmakers were skeptical. Committee Chairman Sen. Mark MacDonald, D-Orange, commended Benjamin on his skillful arguments, but said administrations often try to convince the panel that oversights in the rule-making process are not a problem.
Thats what they do. Thats why were here, MacDonald said.
Benjamin told the committee that the Vermont Medical Society was willing to withdraw its objection to the new rules if a committee was created to review and meet the requirements of Act 116. The committee was to include two naturopathic physicians, two medical doctors, a clinical pharmacist and a patient.
The Vermont Medical Society and (Health Commissioner Harry Chen) believe this is the best way to move forward, he told the committee.
Madeline Mongan, vice president of policy for VMS, told the committee that VMS was willing to move forward with the proposed committee, but still had significant concerns with the rules, including the examination in place for naturopaths to obtain a prescribing license endorsement.
There is an exam in effect right now and we have, just, incredible concerns about that exam, Mongan said.
Chen, despite the committees rejection of the rules based on procedure, said he believes OPRs report addressed the Legislatures request.
Their report certainly outlined the process and I certainly think its consistent with the intent of the Legislature, Chen said.
Sen. Peg Flory, R-Rutland, the most outspoken member of the committee on Thursday, made the motion Thursday to reject the proposed rules and require OPR to complete its report as called for in Act 116.
Im trying to figure out where the harm would be in waiting until thats done. I can see where the harm would be in allowing this, inappropriately, perhaps, Flory said. I have high hopes that this group will be able to come forward next year or whenever with a mechanism that we can approve and not worry whether we made a mistake.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep.

text: I like the first option of sending our slackers off to Memphis but I don't think it's going to happen. In that trade Memphis would get nothing but bad contracts. Myles is consitterd to be the (franchise player)for the Blazers so no way are they trading him for Francis or Richardson. To answer your question, who could we get for Francis that wont hurt the cap? I believe the answer is not an easy one. It may be too premature to make that trade. Let' showcase Francis a little. I actually think he and Steph can play together. That's NOT to say they should! But they can if Steph becomes a true PG or vise versa. We are stuck with these contracts until they expire or the players start to play better ball.

Take today for instance. I went to visit one of my fave blogs written by Penny and called The Hen House. It was her wedding anniversary and she had been trying to take an arty picture of the lilies she had received from her husband.
Things would have gone swimmingly if her cat, Frankie, hadn't sneaked into the shot and started yawning. I took one look at it and thought 'bloody hell. If that ever cat died I would want to get it stuffed in that exact same position. And then bolt it onto trolley and wheel it around town. How much street cred would I have?'
And, as well as deterring muggers, I bet I would get really good service from shop assistants.
So, do you have a particular pose that you favour when it comes to stuffing your pets and bolting them onto a trolley?

Frederick Humphries, 47, has confirmed that he is the FBI agent who initiated the investigation that brought down ex-CIA boss David Petraeus and also confirmed sending topless photograph years ago.
The New York Times reports Humphries believed that the case was purposefully being stalled for political reasons. In October, he contacted Rep. Dave Recihert (R-WA), where he had worked before to ask for his help deliberately going over his bosses heads. Reichert directed him to House majority leader, Eric Cantor who eventually passed the message onto the FBI director, Robert S. Mueller, the Daily Mail reports.
Here's more on Frederick Humphries from Daily Mail:
- Frederick Humphries, 47, was the agent who initially saw the emails the FBI said Petraeus' biographer and mistress, Paula Broadwell, sent to Tampa socialite Jill Kelley, a woman she apparently saw as a rival for Petraeus' affections.
- Humphries joined the FBI in 1996 and first came to prominence in 1999 after an Algerian man was arrested by U.S. Customs agents as he tried to enter Washington state from Canada by ferry. Ahmed Ressam had white powder, chemicals and homemade timing devices in the trunk of his car.
- Ressam claimed to be a French-speaker from Quebec. According to a 2002 Seattle Times story, Humphries, then the only French-speaker assigned to the FBI's Seattle office, was asked to question him. As soon as Humphries heard Ressam's accent and phrasing, he knew he wasn't from Quebec and told his colleagues to arrest him, the story said. It was later learned Ressam was part of an al-Qaida plot to blow up the Los Angeles airport on New Year's Eve 1999.
- By 2010, Humphries had been assigned to the FBI's Tampa office and was its liaison to MacDill, home to the military's Central Command.
- On May 19, 2010, 61-year-old Army veteran Ronald J. Bullock, who was camping at the base, got into an altercation with base security.
- Officials said Bullock sped off on a motorcycle, but was stopped by other security officers and Humphries as he tried to exit a gate. They said he got off the motorcycle and came at Humphries and the officers while brandishing a knife. Humphries fired, killing Bullock. The shooting was later ruled justified.
