PARIS (AP) ? David Beckham has joined Paris Saint-Germain, and will be donating his salary to a children's charity.

The 37-year-old former England captain was presented at a news conference Thursday at the French club's Parc des Princes stadium. The club said he signed a five-month deal.

PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaifi says "we're very happy to welcome David Beckham to Paris Saint-Germain. He will be joining for five months until 30 June."

During that time, Beckham says his salary will go to a Paris children's charity.

PSG is the latest stop in Beckham's glamorous career, which has seen him win titles with Manchester United, Real Madrid and the Los Angeles Galaxy. Beckham ended his six-year stint in the U.S. last month.

Prezi Hits 18M Users For Its Presentation Platform, Asia An Area For Future Growth [TCTV]

Prezi has come a long way since the days it was a struggling startup in Budapest building a new away for people to create presentations to blow the mind of an audience. Today they have over 100 employees and a San Francisco HQ. It's become a popular alternative to Microsoft PowerPoint and Keynote, and the company is even now advised by Jack Dorsey. At DLD in Munich last week I ran into Peter Arvai, Prezi CEO and Co-founder, where he revealed - on the video here - that after announcing 15 million users last October, they are now on 18 million users. He said they are also course to book 2 million more users per month over the next year. Clearly they are hitting an exponential growth curve.

Leading by the nose: Star-nosed mole reveals how mammals perceive touch, pain

Thursday, January 31, 2013

The most sensitive patch of mammalian skin known to us isn't human but on the star-shaped tip of the star-nosed mole's snout. Researchers studying this organ have found that the star has a higher proportion of touch-sensitive nerve endings than pain receptors, according to a study published January 30 in the open access journal PLOS ONE by Diana Bautista and colleagues from the University of California, Berkeley and Vanderbilt University.

Touch and pain are closely intertwined sensations, but very little is known about how these sensations are detected in our cells. In this study, the authors turned to a unique species for answers: the star-nosed mole. In addition to its distinction as the fastest-eating mammal known, the star-nosed mole also possesses one of the most sensitive tactile organs known in the animal kingdom. The star on its nose has the highest density of nerve endings known in any mammalian skin, with over 100,000 fibers in a patch of skin about 1 cm. in diameter. The authors found these nerve endings significantly enriched in neurons sensitive to light touch, with a lower proportion of neurons that detect and respond to pain.

The novel touch and pain receptors they identified in the star-nosed mole were also detected in sensory receptors in mice and humans, suggesting that these receptors are likely to be more common across other mammals as well. According to the authors, their results highlight how examining diverse and highly specialized species can reveal fundamental aspects of biology common across different animals. Lead author on the study Bautista says, "By studying the star-nosed mole we identified candidate genes that may mediate touch and pain. These genes represent new potential targets for the development of much needed drugs and therapies to treat chronic pain."

At least 3 dead in mass pileup on Detroit freeway

DETROIT (AP) ? Snow squalls, high winds and slippery roads led to a chain-reaction of crashes on a mile-long stretch of an interstate in Detroit Thursday, leaving at least three people dead and 20 injured.

Michigan State Police Lt. Michael Shaw said visibility was poor when the mass of crashes happened on Interstate 75 on the southwest side of the city. The injured, including children, have been taken to hospitals, Shaw said.

SUVs with smashed front ends and cars with doors hanging open sat scattered across the debris-littered highway, some crunched against jackknifed tractor-trailers and tankers.

Motorists and passengers who were able to a get out of their vehicles huddled together on the side of the road, some visibly distraught, others looking dazed. A man and woman hugged under the gray, cloud-filled skies, a pair of suitcases next to them and a bumper on the ground behind.

"We're not sure of the cause," Shaw told The Associated Press. "Some witnesses said there were white-out conditions."

More than two dozen vehicles were involved in the pileups and scores of cars and trucks not involved in crashes were stuck on the freeway behind. Shaw said it could be hours before the freeway reopened.

Greg Galuszka was driving a fuel truck along I-75 when white-out conditions quickly materialized.

"I looked on my driver's side mirror, and I could see the trucks piling up back there," Galuszka said, pointing to a mass of twisted metal where vehicles had smashed into each other a short time earlier.

"Then, when I looked in my passenger side (mirror), is when I saw the steel hauler coming up," he said. "I just said my prayers from there and said, 'Please don't hit me.'"

Shaw said many people had to be pulled from their vehicles. Numerous fire engines and ambulances were at the scene.

The crash happened as a wave of snow and strong blustery winds reduced visibility across southeastern Michigan, said Bryan Tilley, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Oakland County's White Lake Township.

"There was a pattern of snow showers moving through the area in the midmorning hours," Tilley said. Nearby Detroit Metropolitan Airport had west winds at 20 miles per hour, with gusts to 33 mph around the time of the crash. The temperature of 24 degrees was about 30 degrees colder than a day before.

The crash happened near an elevated stretch of expressway where the road surface can cool quickly and make driving hazardous, Tilley said.

What to Do after You've Been Injured on the Job ? Cummings ...

January 31st, 2013 at 4:54 pm

If you have been subject to a workplace injury, the first thing you need to do is consult an attorney. In order to receive workers? compensation benefits, a claim will need to be filed.

What should you do if you have been subject to a work-related injury?

Workplace injuries are very common, and can be just as stressful on employees. Investigating workers? compensation laws and filing the appropriate ?paperwork for work-injury claims can be a real burden, and often puts people in awkward situations. If you have been injured on the job, do not think for one second that nothing can be done. Companies are required by law to maintain workers? compensation insurance to cover the expenses associated with work-related injuries. To avoid getting into legal issues and to secure your benefits, be sure to call a workers? compensation attorney as soon as possible.

Many people tend to think of accidents on construction sites when the term is mentioned, but this is misleading. For instance, did you know that you can receive workers? compensation benefits for the development of carpal tunnel syndrome if you are employed in a clerical position? The most important thing to remember is that not seeking legal advice in a timely manner could be the worst thing you do.

Who is entitled to workers? compensation benefits

Workers? compensation covers everyone who works for a business with three or more employees, not just employees who receive a payroll check. Even if you receive a 1099 from your employer, you could still be entitled to benefits.? Many businesses try to cut their insurance premium costs by classifying workers as subcontractors. The difference between an employee and a subcontractor is often a grey area, but Courts have established guidelines that help determine a worker?s employment status. Ultimately, the goal is determine whether an employer-employee relationship exists. If you have been injured on the job, call a workers? compensation attorney immediately to investigate and analyze your rights.

What steps should you take?

The first thing you need to do after being injured is to notify your supervisor. You have 30 days, by law, to give notice of your work accident, but it is in a person?s best interest to do so as soon as possible. Failure to provide adequate notice could result in the denial of workers? compensation benefits.? Your employer should then provide you with a list of physicians that are covered under the company?s workers? compensation plan. Be sure to track in detail the amount of time you are missing from work, as well as travel to and from your medical appointments. This information will be useful once your claim is filed. Contact an experienced workers? compensation attorney to protect your rights and insure you receive all benefits to which you are entitled.
