37-year-old Jill Kelley alerted authorities when she began receiving threatening emails. The FBI traced the emails back to Paula Broadwell, uncovering the Petraeus-Broadwell affair along the way. The AP has identified 37-year-old Jill Kelley as the woman who complained about receiving emails from Paula Broadwell, leading to an FBI investigation into Broadwell's relationship with former CIA Director David Petraeus. There's no evidence Kelley was having an affair with Petraeus as well — just that she had received emails from Broadwell that warranted a complaint against the 40-year-old married biographer. Kelley is reportedly a "social liaison" to the MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, where she lives. The AP initially identified her as a State Department liaison. However, Kelley has no official status in the military. From October 2008 to June 2010, Petraeus was commander of the United States Central Command, which is based in Tampa. A 2010 society item from the Tampa Bay Times reveals Jill and her husband Scott were friendly with David and Holly Petraeus, inviting the couple to their home for Tampa Bay's annual Gasparilla Pirate Fest. Another story from 2007 indicates Jill and Scott Kelley, a surgeon, live in a "regal brick mansion" with their three children — at the time, aged 4, 2 and 1. Their home is estimated to be worth $1.37 million. Kelley has a twin sister named Natalie Khawam, a lawyer dedicated to "successfully representing whistleblowers." In 2003, they appeared on a Food Network competition show together. They grew up in Philadelphia, where their Lebanese parents owned a restaurant. [BuzzFeed]
Flu During Pregnancy Linked To Autism
Mothers who reported having the flu during pregnancy were at least twice as likely to have a child with autism as those who did not report having the flu, according to new survey results from a Danish study. While the study does not suggest that high fever -- or flu -- causes autism, many experts said the correlation reinforces recommendations that all pregnant women should get the flu shot. Although the study was not designed to ask about cases of the flu, mothers who reported having the flu during their pregnancy were two times more likely to have a child with autism, according to the study published Monday in the journal Pediatrics. Those whose fever persisted for a week or more before their third trimester were three times more likely to have a child on the autism spectrum, the study found. [13WHAM]
How Much Would You Pay To Never See An Online Ad Again?
AdTrap wants to help “make the Internet yours again.” Imagine a $120 box that sits between your cable modem (the box that brings the internet into your house) and your wireless router (the thing that fills your house with Wi-Fi) and blocks every kind of ad that can be delivered over the Internet. No more ads on your laptop, tablet or smartphone. No more ads on webpages, in music streams, in front of videos, or on mobile apps. That’s the goal of AdTrap, a device that is already in the working prototype stage. [Mashable]
