at first, the student tells me it was tough to get back to class. but a year later, he says he's glad to continue the legacy of a great professor. along assembly street outside usc's public health research center... ...this tree might look out of place, but it's actually a monument with a fitting story -- a weeping cedar of lebanon for the lebanese teacher who died here one year ago. on that day, officers and agents swarmed to this building. it's a day still burned into alexander sougiannis' memory. "i think you don't realize, you know, how great something or someone is until you don't have them anymore." a year ago, sougiannis was a research assistant under beloved exercise science professor dr. raja fayad. he was doing labwork when this woman, sunghee kwon, joined fayad in a nearby office. about fifteen minutes later -- a loud noise from inside that office. "immediately, i thought, when i heard a bang, it was some equipment breaking as it always does somewhere in a lab, but then, i

of the gunpowder, and i realized that this wasn't something breaking. this was a gunshot, and it was what i had feared." he called 911. "dispatcher: 911. sougiannis: yes, hello. i'm in the public health research center here on campus, and we just heard gunshots, and there's blood dripping out of my professor's door." fayad was shot and killed by kwon, his ex-wife, who then killed herself. documents show that kwon was "very stressed" after trying unsuccessfully to become a student in fayad's department both before and after the divorce. those records say she finalized her "last will" about two weeks before the shooting and pawned jewelry to buy a gun just days before it. "we remember dr. fayad as, you know, who he was -- a great scientist and a great person above all." a year later, sougiannis is focused on remembering

to find a cure for colon cancer. "that was really his mission was to get nutrition, early diagnosis, pharmaceutical treatment, exercise to all come together to be a treatment to colon cancer." a year later, sougiannis is keeping fayad's legacy and research alive. "i'm glad to be a part of his legacy. with the way academia works is, once you graduate from someone's lab, you become part of their family tree, so they graduate students that go on to teach other students, so i was glad to at least get the two years that i had with him, so i can be part of his legacy. anyone that i train, from now on, will have part of his training in him." with that said, the cedar tree and message below it affections are divided like the branches of the cedar tree; if the tree loses one strong branch, it will suffer but it does not die. it will pour out all its

that it will grow and fill the empty place." sougiannis says fayad was actually one of the first people he met when he enrolled at u-s-c. he says fayad gave him a tour of the research center, and at that point, he was sold on the university of south carolina. turning now to your overnight

wis's joe gorchow takes a look at what the all those thousands of fans are up to ahead of sunday's game. before football fans invade the stadium sunday... many flocked to super bowl city in the heart of san francisco friday. people had chances to dance the night away... get autographs... and even enjoy some tunes from what i can only assume is a die hard 49ers fan. only two fans bases hope to have something to sing about sunday. on friday... the panthers fans from the carolinas weren't singing though... they were dabbing to support their team. making the trip all the way from the east coast to the bay area... was a must for these big time panthers fans. "absolutely, we wanted to watch them win so we're very excited." "look, everybody doesn't get to go to the super bowl every year, right? so when you get the opportunity, take advantage of that opportunity." "well, we have been fans since

team in north carolina and we knew that we had to be here." "panthers and broncos fans were not the only ones enjoying super bowl city on friday. fans from across the globe cheering for different teams had fun participating in the festivities here as well, including two gentlemen i ran into that have been n a combined 50 super bowls. pretty cool, considering this marks the golden anniversary for the super bowl."
