And the worst isn't yet over for Americans, especially in the Midwest. Today the blizzard has passed - but as skies clear temperatures are expected to plunge to 30 below this morning.

In a region where hundreds of thousands of people have been left without power or transportation, it could prove deadly.

The sprawling system unloaded as much as two feet of snow, crippled airports and stranded drivers in downtown Chicago as if in a prairie blizzard.

Much of Texas was under a hard freeze warning Wednesday; light snowfall stubbornly lingered into the night in Maine.

Officials in the Northeast had warned homeowners and businesses for days of the dangers of leaving snow piled up on rooftops.

As the 2,000-mile-long storm cloaked the region in ice and added inches to the piles of snow already settled across the landscape, the predictions came true.

Thousands inconvenienced: Cars sit abandoned on Chicago's iconic Lake Shore Drive after drivers were forced to walk to safety during the storm. The drive is hoped to be cleared by this morning

LOS ANGELES (AP) - News Corp. is now set to unveil the world's first iPad-only newspaper, The Daily, in New York next Wednesday.

CEO Rupert Murdoch will take the wraps off the tablet publication at the Guggenheim Museum. He will appear with Apple Inc.'s vice president of Internet services, Eddy Cue.

The company sent out invitations to journalists on Thursday.

The original announcement was to take place on Jan. 19 in San Francisco, but the event was postponed to work out technical kinks in the subscription plan.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs was originally set to share the stage, but he has gone on a medical leave of absence.

Journalists have been working on the publication at multiple U.S. bureaus including Los Angeles and New York. The Daily will cover general news, culture and entertainment and will include video.

News Corp. has revealed few details about The Daily. It has not said, for instance, what it will charge readers, if anything. But the company has been at the forefront of efforts to get subscription fees for digital content. The website of the The Wall Street Journal, which News Corp. bought in 2007, has required a paid subscription for 14 years, and the newspaper charges for its iPad app.

When it comes to truth in labeling, House Republicans are getting off to a poor start with their constantly repeated references to the new health care law as "job-killing."

We find:

• Independent, nonpartisan experts project only a "small" or "minimal" impact on jobs, even before taking likely job gains in the health care and insurance industries into account.
• The House Republican leadership, in a report issued Jan. 6, badly misrepresents what the Congressional Budget Office has said about the law. In fact, CBO is among those saying the effect "will probably be small."
• The GOP also cites a study projecting a 1.6 million job loss — but fails to mention that the study refers to a hypothetical employer mandate that is not part of the new law.
• The same study cited by the GOP also predicts an offsetting gain of 890,000 jobs in hospitals, doctors’ offices and insurance companies — a factor not mentioned by the House leadership.

There’s little doubt that the new law will likely lead to somewhat fewer low-wage jobs. That’s mainly because of the law’s requirement that, generally, firms with more than 50 workers pay a penalty if they fail to provide health coverage for their workers. One leading health care expert, John Sheils of The Lewin Group, puts the loss at between 150,000 and 300,000 jobs, at or near the minimum wage. And Sheils says that relatively small loss would be partly offset by gains in the health care industry.

Sports fishermen try their luck despite freezing temperatures at Slovakia's dam Liptovska Mara on December 5. Counter-intuitive but true, say scientists: a string of freezing European winters scattered over the last decade has been driven in large part by global warming.

(CBS)  Doctors injected stem cells into a woman's brain, hoping they'll fight her cancer. Close to 23,000 Americans are diagnosed with brain cancer each year and more than half that number die. Some pioneering research may be changing that.

In California Wednesday that woman made medical history, the first human being to have stem cells injected into her brain to try to cure cancer. CBS News correspondent Ben Tracy met this pioneer patient and has an exclusive look at this ground-breaking procedure.

Jenn Vonckx has been leaning on her family a lot lately. Just three weeks ago doctors in her hometown of Seattle, Wash., told her there was nothing more they could do to treat the tumor in her brain. They gave her two months to live.

"It's a short time when they tell you that - wow - you wouldn't even believe how short it feels," says Vonckx.

She didn't know that near Los Angeles, Dr. Karen Aboody has been working on a revolutionary new cancer treatment for the very worst brain tumors called glioblastomas, the same kind Vonckx has.

These types of tumors are so invasive that until now there's been no way to get large enough amounts of chemotherapy through the blood-brain barrier. With stem cells researchers now think they've found a way.

Ten million neural stem cells with a special enzyme are injected into the brain. The stem cells seek out and attach themselves to the tumors. The patient then takes a pill containing a non-toxic drug that enters the brain. When the drug interacts with the enzyme in the stem cells, it instantaneously creates an active chemotherapy drug. The hope is that chemo will kill the tumors and leave healthy brain tissue alone.

"The chemotherapy is never going toxic all over the body. It's just being made where the tumor cells are, so in that case we should have a lot less side effect," says Aboody.

It's worked in mice but never been tried on a human until this week. Vonckx is patient no. 1.

"First in the world?" she says. "I would prefer that there have been a few people going through it before me."

But Wednesday on the morning of her surgery she is ready. Her family says goodbye and over the course of the four-hour procedure those 10 million stem cells are sent into her brain to try to fix it. It will be months before doctors know if it works.

"It's like the first step on the moon and it would just be the beginning," says Aboody.

Vonckx has some smaller steps in mind, completing a 75-mile walk around Seattle.

"I will crawl it if I have to," she says.

And she may also be giving thousands of people with brain tumors a reason to move forward and to hope.
