Huffington Post: Marvel Shopping 'AKA Jessica Jones' Around For New Home

Posted: 15 Jan 2013 10:21 AM PST

Marvel's "AKA Jessica Jones" TV series is looking for a cable home.

Originally in development at ABC, the network passed on the project in May 2012. At the 2013 TCA, Melissa Rosenberg, the veteran "Dexter" writer who adapted "AKA Jessica Jones," told IGN that Marvel hasn't given up on the series.

Rosenberg is currently writing for ABC's midseason entry "Red Widow," but she doesn't think "Jessica Jones" would fit on the network. "It might be a cable show, really. The graphic novel is the first one that Marvel did that was meant to serve an adult audience," she said. "I toned it down a little bit for network, but it's very, very easy to translate that into cable. Very easy. God I love that project, other than this one ['Red Widow'], it's one of my favorite things that I've ever written."

Huffington Post: China To Offer Up To $48,000 Reward For Food Safety Informers

Posted: 15 Jan 2013 10:22 AM PST


BEIJING, Jan 15 (Reuters) - China will offer up to 300,000 yuan ($48,200) as a cash reward to people who report on others who violate food safety laws, state media said on Tuesday, as the government tries again to crack down on a persistent problem.
"Actions taken to report violations of food and drug safety laws will be rewarded," state news agency Xinhua said. "The reward for each case, in principle, will not exceed 300,000 yuan."
Rewards will be paid out after the authorities confirm the veracity of the tip-offs, the report said.
Repeated campaigns to crack down on the problem and the meting out of tough punishments have failed to bring an end to China's food safety woes.
Frequent media reports refer to cooking oil being recycled from drains, carcinogens in milk, and fake eggs. In 2008, milk laced with the industrial chemical melamine killed at least six children and sickened nearly 300,000.
Last week, fast-food chain KFC's parent Yum Brands Inc apologised to customers in China over its handling of a recent food scare that has hit the company's sales in its biggest market.
The scandal erupted when the official China Central Television reported in late December that some of the chicken supplied to KFC and McDonald's Corp contained excess amounts of antiviral drugs and hormones used to accelerate growth.
Subsequent findings by the Shanghai Food and Drug Administration found the levels of antibiotics and steroids in Yum's current batch of KFC chicken supply were safe, though the watchdog found a suspicious level of an antiviral drug in one of the eight samples tested.
Beijing said last December it would introduce tough new laws to punish firms that flout food safety laws, a significant move in China's struggle to get its abysmal food safety record under control.

Huffington Post: Facebook Introduces 'Graph Search,' New Search Engine From Social Giant

Posted: 15 Jan 2013 10:24 AM PST

Your friends have shared their life with Facebook. Now, Facebook is making sure you can actually find what they've shared.

The social network unveiled a new search tool, Graph Search, that Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg described as the "third pillar" of Facebook, alongside News Feed and Timeline.

Graph Search, which is initially launching in beta as a limited preview for U.S. audiences only, will allow users to uncover social connections between other members of the site and quickly identify which friends have been to certain places, "liked" specific topics or appeared in certain photos.
