hello. welcome to assignment 7. i'm janelle wang. today on our program.... >> schools are very different when they were running. >> the trains that once chugged along san francisco waterfront. what is being done to revise the old beltlin death threats in your e-ml in-box. and big honors for the n.f.l. for an east bay teacher. >> we begin with a new mental health facility in palo alto. david louie reports on the services it will provide for a new generation of vet rants. >> seismi safety is one of the major reasons why $51 million is being spent to build a new mental health facility. it's going to be addressing a growing need, helping military personnel cope after serving in iraq and afghanistan.

senator barbara boxer was on hand for the opening ceremonies. it has been difficult for many of the military to recogniz or to acowledge the need for help. >> that seems to be -- we still have more to do. but it's gointo be so reassuring for pple that come home and look like fine but are strugglinglogy with posttraumac injuries. >> it's all on one floor that will ve them privacy. v.a. hospital facilities in the bay area provide a comprehensive mental health program. the patients are younger with vets from iraq and afghanistan now joining vets from vietnam. >> and with moreomen, we found they actually work together and help each oth. we have found there are problems with that.

>> with the suicide rate running higherhan civilians, they are working on prevention measures as well looking for signs of stress. >> whatever you can prevent. i think that is feasible. i would agree with that but we do what we can. >> the need for returning vets is great. this facility won't be ready for another couple o years but will be welcome when comes on line. bay area researchers ar announcing a breakthrough that takes stem cell therapy to another level. carolyn johns explains. >> those e the ones that turned into muscle cells. >> images magnified by the microscope are living heart cells, they were not created by the body but by researchers using a groundbreaing technique >> it's certainly one ofhe things that our labs and many labs in our area have been trying to figur out for two decades. so we are very excited about it.

>> the doctor and his team isolated key geneti factors. they u those factors to make tissue cells to become heart cells. >> loaded on a a stent that goes into a vessel into the heart that feeds the heart and is able to re-program the cells that are sitting in the heart and turn them into new muscle that could help the heartbeat better. >> it works on theork 6 a scientist who first discovered how to turn stem cells into these. these lds cells grows into any type of cell in the body but this new technique skips that stage. >> we jumped over the stem cell state and gone directly from a cell into a beating heartell witut turning that cell into a

stem cell. >> that breakthrough voids run of the risks to treat humans, they can grow unpredictably and can lead to cancerous tumors. >> that hurdle of cellular therapy would not have to been done due to direct programming. >> she cautious that other potential cancer risks need to be researched. but still, the docr believes that labs around t world will use the same strategy on a variety of cell types. >> we think this can occur for brain cells, it may be possible for pancreatic cells to make insulin but one by one over the next year you'll see this sort of paradigm shift for most cell types in the body. san francisco's embarcadero was once the gate wy to the west for shipping and getting

the cargo around was the responsibility of a little known railroad. >> theaterfront was the busiest port on the west coast. was hub for a working class that unloaded cargo by hand for generations. trains carried those goods from around the globe to destinations throughout the west gone is the piers and the trains but not the memories of the workhorse, the state beltline railroad. >> san francisco a very different place when they were runng. >> bill kaufman is the railway history buff. >> there was a lot of trade coming through here. the belt ran in and out around corners, it was out in the stres. >> the beltline started running in the 18 90s to move freight docked at the wharf.

in brisbane. the building was severely damaged b a fire in 2001 and it's now an histic landmark. the last remaining beltline diesel locomotives are still working the waterfront. >> these guys can pull two or three times as much as steamer >> purched in the 1940s they are leasedy the san frcisco bay ra railroad to move cargo between pierce. >> ey are six years old and they are doing really well -- 60 years old. preserve the last engines in existence. >> and these old girls are running on modern fuel, diesel. train buffs keeping these trains running is preserving their historical imptance. >> it's part of our heritage and

part of america and industrial history of man. there are also a few traces of the beltline tracks along the embarcadero but the ones that carry the f-line trolley to fisherman's wharf camefter the tracks were torn up. >> new technology out of u.c. davis gives researchers a new perspective that satellites can't and.... >> used to steal money and what you shouldo if you get one.
