Rich snippets (particularly in the context of authorship) don't apply to static pages - they apply to posts

I have responded to this on other posts. Note:
1. The "updated" field is there - you can verify the markup. This is probably an error on Google's part which fails to recognize the field.
2. This is a non-critical field. You can run any of the links that Google itself provides through the test and you will see that all of them fail.
3. Your site's rich snippets will still work without it.
