baby's cord blood. it's more likely another family could. unrelated donors have often better cord transplant matches. >> typically a baby's own cord blood would still be at risk o that cancer or carry that disease so it couldn't be used for that baby. >> reporter: can be used for any patient found to be a match. >> that's the best part about the whole deal is that it's helping. somebody, somewhere,

[ male announcer ] with jerry brown, it's just one dishonest smear after another. and another. just a dishonest politician, trying to hide his record of failure. the real brown plan? more spending on out-of-control state pensions. more favors for the big teachers union, blocking education reform. more job-killing taxes and regulations. more of the same old failure from sacramento. job killer jerry brown. always more taxes, more spending, and more lost jobs. it's tuesday. that means we're a week away from the election. both parties are making their final push. hispanic voters are a big bloc for democrats. telemundo reports on concerns why latinos may not come out to vote. >> reporter: this virginia resident said he will continue voting for democrats. >> translator: with the democrats we seem to be fine. we will go nowhere with the republicans. >> reporter: according to the pew hispanic center, 65% will vote for the democratic candidate in their congressional district. 22% say they will vote for the republican. but more and more hispanics are identifying themselves as independents. >> translator: nobody is going to hold me back. republican or democrat. i am free and i will do what i want. >> reporter: many democrats worry that most of their latino constituency won't be motivated to participate come election day. in these upcoming midterms, republicans have a real chance at taking back control of congress. only 51% of latinos registered to vote said they would participate on november 2nd, compared to 70% of the general population. bad news for democratic candidates like loretta sanchez who is in a tight race in district 47 in california against the republican. >> translator: in this coming election if latinos don't come out and vote, i lose. >> reporter: in fact, only 28% of hispanic democrats say they are paying attention to the election. compared to 44% of hispanic republicans. >> in states where there are no contested elections, generally speaking voter participation and voter turnout tends to be lower because there isn't as much interest in the election. latinos are in some states where that may be the case. >> reporter: 1,400 hispanics polled, many of those who said they would vote cited immigration as a key issue, especially since the senate failed to approve the dream act which would legalize thousands of undocumented students. washington. let's talk about this issue with our political analyst larry gurstin. latinos a voting bloc the democrats have to have. polls suggest that's happening particularly in the governor's race. >> looks like it's going to be about 31-and it's a good question to ask. will they come out in enough numbers? the proportion seem to be going where most thought it would. look at the polls here, the last couple and see what's happening with brown and whitman, shows where the latino vote is going, disproportionately to brown. it shows the undecided vote seems to be going away toward brown. >> all right. well, brown, whitman and arnold schwarzenegger sat down together in an unusual forum moderated by matt lauer at the woman's conference in long beach. lauer threatened to arm wrestle the governor for an answer as to which candidate which best lead the state. watch. >> it's not about me endorsing someone. what's relevant is california moves forward and we have an environmental policy that stays alive that does not get destroyed and taken up by oil companies that are spendi ining millions of dollar against our environmental policies. this is democrats and republicans and business leaders, everyone working together. i'm not going to disrupt that relationship. i'm going to continue on and run through the finish line and after i vote on november 2nd i will tell you. and then we can do the arm wrestling. >> well, read between the lines. clearly schwarzenegger finds more of an ally in brown when it comes to prop 23. interestingly the crowd jeered when brown offered to end and pull his negative ads if whitman would do the same. and she agreed but only to a point, larry. >> we talk about the october surprise. we're always wondering when and if it will happen. we see two of them this time around. they're both unfortunately for republicans the way it looks now. whitman got booed rather loudly. this is going to play on the front pages tomorrow morning. of course, fiorina's in the hospital. who would have expected it? that is a bit of a surprise. >> quickly on to that senate race. how could that impact this race with fiorina sitting there and for how long we don't know? >> we don't know how long. it could cut one of two ways. people may be sympathetic, vote for her more. people may say, she's not there, we're going to go with someone who's not sick. you don't want to be out of the game a week away from the end of it. that's for sure. >> new numbers, another poll out shows this race, too, is starting to shift toward the democrats. >> it looks, again, the latinos will fall into the same place they're falling with brown. remember, we talked all along about how latinos were so critical, familiarparticularly democrats. look at the l.a. times poll. the most recent poll, suffolk university poll. in both cases what we do see widening? a margin of error, tom, but a widening. >> if the republicans have the senate by the end of november 2nd, they need this race, they're still spending. >> they put $8 million -- national republican party put $8 million into this race including $3 million just yesterday. >> one week left. larry gurstin, thank you. we'll be seeing you frequently. count on nbc bay area news for coverage on election night. we'll start coverage when the polls close on 11-2 and comcast. brian williams and the nbc news political team begin special coverage of the national races followed by a special 11:00 p.m. one-hour newscast with your complete bay area and california election coverage. >> thank you, gentlemen. pg&e repaired 38 gas leaks since last month's san bruno pipeline explosion. regulators forced the power company to examine its 6,000 mile network after the pipeline rupture that killed eight people. four of the leaks were found on transmission lines, which are large lines similar to the ones that exploded september 9th. the others were on smaller distribution lines or other types of quick. pg&e said it did not find serious issues with the 16 miles of pipeline in the san bruno area. the pentagon changing the way it handles secrets because of the wikileak scandal. the website posted half a million secret pentagon documents about the wars in iraq and afghanistan. the pentagon said wikileaks has more classified documents and videos. security experts have been examining the pentagon's information system for the last 60 days and are expected to make recommendations on how to plug those leaks any day now. schools around the country are getting some guidance from washington on how to fight back against bullies. after a rash of suicides by students who had been hurt or intimidated, the department of education is now making it clear what schools should do. a letter sent to schools across the country includes guidance on when bullying becomes a civil rights violation. in a survey, 55% of boys and 33% of girls admit they, themselves, bullied, teased or taunted someone in the last year. 44% of boys and half of girls say they've been victims, too. the school district that canceled their prom rather than let a girl bring her girlfriend will have to pay for it. constance mcmillan sued the school after she was told she could not bring her date, so the school canceled the prom last spring and parents sponsored a different dance but students went to another party instead. a judge has ordered the school district to pay $81,000 in legal fees. san jose police hunt for two men connected to a string of robberies. also, new video of their violent takeovers. do you know who they are?
