VideoLas Vegas Hit by Rare Snowstorm, Grounding Flights
A rare snowfall blanketed Las Vegas on Wednesday, canceling flights, snarling traffic and dusting palm trees and marquees along the Las Vegas Strip with
accumulations that were expected to reach 3 inches overnight.
Other locations were forecast to receive as much as 8 inches of snow in the second winter storm this week to drop snow on the desert city.
.Tumor Removed From Newborn's Brain Contained FootDr. Paul Grabb says he operated on Sam Esquibel at Memorial Hospital for Children after an MRI showed a microscopic tumor on the newborn's brain. Sam was 3 days old and otherwise healthy.
Grabb says that while removing the growth, he discovered it contained a nearly perfect foot and the formation of another foot, a hand and a thigh.
"It looked like the breach delivery of a baby, coming out of the brain," Grabb said. "To find a perfectly formed structure (like this) is extremely unique, unusual, borderline unheard of."
The growth may also have been a case of
"fetus in fetu" — in which a fetal twin begins to form within another — but such cases very rarely occur in the brain, Grabb said.
.1,500 parakeets rescued from Berlin apartmentBerlin officials say they have rescued 1,500 parakeets from a two-room apartment.
City veterinarian Margit Platzer says the birds were flying freely around the apartment, which was
"littered with feces, feathers and leftover food."
Platzer says it took her team more than seven hours on Tuesday to catch all the birds with nets.
The birds were taken Wednesday to animal shelters in Berlin and elsewhere because there was not enough room for them at facilities in the capital.
Local media reported, without citing sources, that the owner gradually bought and bred the birds until his apartment was full, and that neighbors had complained about the noise and smell.
The retired man, who was not identified, could face charges for endangering the animals' safety and health.

Shooting Victim Goes to Work with Bullet in HeadA Riviera Beach, Florida man who was hit by a stray bullet in the back of the head is back at work -- with the slug still stuck in his skull.
E.T. Strickland says the bullet hurts, but not enough to keep him from his job.
The 74-year-old sells commercial real estate. He was told by his doctors not to have the bullet removed unless it was pressing on any arteries or causing health problems. He does plan to see a neurosurgeon though because he wants it taken out if possible.
Police said Strickland was hit by a bullet Tuesday night from an attempted robbery outside a Walgreens store. A second person was also shot, several times, as he was leaving the store. Police said that person was listed in stable condition Wednesday.

The Port St. Lucie Police are seeking an arrest warrant for a man accused of hitting his wife after she asked to smell his penis to determine whether he was cheating with another woman, according to a police report released Wednesday.
The 37-year-old victim told investigators her husband of three years punched her face and kicked her arms and legs Monday night after she accused him of having an affair.
The victim said she told her 25-year-old husband as he used the restroom
"to display his penis to her so that she can smell it," the report states.
