Cristina Cooks Sweet Onion Dip & Baked Beet Chips
From the pages of Cristina's friends' cookbook "Bountiful," she makes a sweet onion dip great for hosting a big football get-together. She suggests leaving it in oven long enough to get crusty on top. Cristina likes to serve this with crostini, crackers, and vegetables, particularly her baked beet chips.

How a Kidney Transplant Chain Pays It Forward

How a Kidney Transplant Chain "Pays It Forward"
Dr. Jeffrey Veale, Director of the UCLA Kidney Transplantation Exchange Program, is here today to raise awareness for paying it forward through the selfless act of kidney donation. Altruistic kidney donor Harry Damon joins us via Skype to explain his motivation for donating his spare kidney to a mother in need. The ripple-effect of Harry's generous donation has triggered an entire chain of life. Here's how it works:
Harry Damon, kidney donor >> Sheila Whitney, recipient of Harry's kidney >> Sheila's son Reginald Griffin, kidney donor >> Keenan Cheung, recipient of Reginald's kidney >> Keenan's wife Jeanne Cheung, kidney donor >> Sonia Castro, recipient of Jeanne's kidney Facts & Figures:
1. The first living donor kidney transplant occurred in 1954.
2. Almost half of kidney transplants come from live donors. 3. Humans are born with two kidneys, but can live a normal life with only one. 4. Live donor kidneys last twice as long as a kidney from a deceased donor. 5. 35% of donors are incompatible to a loved one needing a kidney. Visit http://Transplants.UCLA.edu/ to learn more.
