Paul Doty
Director Emeritus, Center for Science and International Affairs; Mallinckrodt Professor of Biochemistry, Emeritus
Member of the Board, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs
Paul Doty died on December 5, 2011 at the age of 91.
Paul Doty was the Founder and Director Emeritus of the Center for Science and International Affairs (later called the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs) and Mallinckrodt Professor of Biochemistry at Harvard University, and he was an emeritus member of the Belfer Center Board of Directors.
During his forty-two years on the Harvard University faculty, Doty embraced two careers: one in biochemistry, where he founded the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, and the other in science policy and international security studies, where he founded the Center for Science and International Affairs in 1973. He was named emeritus professor in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences in 1988 and in the Kennedy School of Government in 1990.
Doty's research focus was on the structure and functioning of large molecules progressively moving from polymeric molecules which constitute plastics and fibers, to polypeptides and polynucleotides which consist of single repeating units of the kind involved in proteins and nucleic acids and then on to proteins and nucleic acids. Early studies developed means of determining the size and weight of polymeric molecules in solution. This was followed by showing that the folding of the single polymeric peptide chain that make up a protein was of three types and that the amounts of each could be determined by optical means.
DNA, the carrier of the code that directs living forms, which had been shown to consist of two chains in the form of a double helix, was shown to maintain this structure in solution. However, when subjected to abnormal conditions (higher temperatures) the double helical molecules would "melt" (denature) at a specific temperature abruptly releasing two strands from each other. Perhaps the best known work of Doty's laboratory was the further demonstration that the two separated strands could be reunited (hybridized) in register thereby reforming the original double-stranded, biologically active molecule. This technique of hybridization became the basis of forming new, not previously occurring, forms of DNA (recombinant DNA) and of determining the sequence of the four units that make up nucleic acid strands culminating in the Human Genome Project.
The structure of RNA, the single-stranded polynucleotide chain that transfers the code from DNA to the site of protein synthesis, was shown to have connections among different parts of the same chain and hence to be reduced in size in solution over that expected for an unrestricted single chain. These restrictions were found to be short regions of double helical configuration and the extent of this internal hybridization could be determined by the optical methods worked out for DNA melting.
Substantial advances were made on the structure of collagen (the major building unit of skin and cartilage) and its gene. The molecule was shown to consist of a triple stranded helix that also displayed a critical denaturation temperature and existed as a rod-shaped molecule of a certain length, hence the building block in skin and other tissues. The structure of the gene encoding collagen was determined in the early 1980s. It displayed numerous interruptions (introns), a record for genes examined at that time. This work was collaboration with his wife, Helga Boedtker, who joined in the management of the laboratory for nearly four decades.
From data collected on the occassion of Doty's eightieth birthday, the influence of his laboratory became apparent. He supervised the research theses of 66 undergraduates and graduates of whom 44 became professors and 10 have been elected to the National Academy of Sciences. Of the 85 post-doctoral fellows that worked in his laboratory, 36 became professors.
During this time he was a leader in his chosen profession founding together with Herman Mark the Journal of Polymer Science (1945) and with four others the Journal of Molecular Biology (1959). From 1950 to 1968 Doty was a tenured professor in the Department of Chemistry during which time he helped recruit several leading biochemists, in particular James Watson. In 1968 he founded the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and served as its first chairman. Doty played an increasing role both at Harvard in the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts. and Sciences. For example, he served as chairman of a faculty committee to review General Education, as a Senior Fellow in the Society of Fellows (1963-80) and on various committees of the two academies.
Doty's second career had its origins in his graduate student days at Columbia. During this time he worked on isotope separation at the beginning of the Manhattan Project and attended courses by its leaders: Fermi, Rabi, Teller, and Urey. In 1957 he served as chairman of the Federation of American Scientists and attended the first unofficial meeting of nuclear scientists in Pugwash, Nova Scotia. Here he made contact with Soviet counterparts and decided that there was a niche to be filled by promoting informed examination of the technical aspects related to avoiding nuclear war outside official channels.
In 1958 he made his first of what would come to be 42 trips to the Soviet Union mostly in pursuit of this goal. A year later he became consultant to the President's Science Advisory Committee (PSAC) helping on the formulation of nuclear arms controls proposals and in 1960 became a full member. In the same year he undertook two initiatives. One was to form in the National Academy of Sciences a Committee to promote and oversee the exchange of Soviet and American scientists for research purposes and to organize two large scale Pugwash Conferences, one in Moscow (1960), the other in the U.S. (1961). These conferences established, for the first time that unofficial international discussions among scientists on nuclear problems and scientific collaboration could play a useful role despite the polarization of the Cold War. A by-product of these meetings was the development of a friendship with several leading Soviet scientists, especially Peter Kapitza.
By 1964 Doty redirected most of his efforts from the multilateral Pugwash conferences to form a bilateral Soviet- American Group co-chaired by Millionshchikov, first vice-president of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, and himself. This group was widely thought to have contributed critically to inducing the Soviet Union to negotiate the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty concluded in 1972. Having involved Kissinger in meetings of Pugwash and the Soviet-American group, Doty chaired an informal advisory group to Kissinger when he became Special Assistant to the President for National Security. He continued as a consultant to the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency and later became a member of the President's Arms Control Advisory Group.
In 1971 Doty began a series of annual summer workshops on arms control at the Aspen Institute in Colorado. He served as chairman until 1984 when its leadership was transferred to William Perry, Brent Scowcroft and Joseph Nye and renamed the Aspen Strategy Group. It continues to thrive. Meanwhile in 1976, Doty became a Board member of the newly formed Aspen Institute Berlin where he initiated summer workshops on European Security.
At this time discussions began with McGeorge Bundy, then president of the Ford Foundation, which resulted in setting up several university centers to focus on international security. As a result the Center for Science and International Affairs was established at Harvard in 1973 with an endowment that had grown by 1979 to $6 million: Doty served as its Director on a half-time basis. In 1979 it became part of the new Kennedy School of Government. Among its most important contributions have been its policy-related research, and its training of more than a dozen scholars each year in international security studies. Its first assistant directors have gone on to distinguished careers, Albert Carnesale, Michael Mandlebaum, Michael Nacht and John Steinbruner. Doty established a course on the Nuclear Age at Harvard College and with Jack Ruina a summer school course at MIT for teachers of such courses. Doty founded and became editor of what has become the leading journal in the field, International Security.
The Center has grown under the directorships of Ashton Carter, Joseph Nye and Graham Allison: by expansion into other science policy fields it now consists of 100 members. The informal US-USSR dialogue on security issues expanded sharply in the 1970s: Doty was deeply involved in two of these - The Dartmouth Conferences and the National Academy of Sciences Committee on International Security and Arms Control (CISAC). The Dartmouth Conferences aimed to bring leading citizens of the two countries together to discuss matters of potential conflict and economic cooperation. It began in 1960 at the suggestion of President Eisenhower and continued to meet annually in the alternate countries throughout the Cold War. Doty served on the Executive Committee and as chair of the Arms Control Task Force. The latter held separate meetings involving congressional, political and military leaders as well as nongovernmental specialists the results of which were reported to the annual Conferences. These efforts were thought to have contributed to lowering Cold War tensions and allowed important contacts to develop among those who would later become important officials, such as Scowcroft, Vance, Primakov (prime minister) and Kozyrev (foreign minister). The annual meetings between CISAC and the corresponding committee of the Soviet Academy of Science began in 1981 and followed a similar pattern but concentrated on technical aspects of nuclear arms control. Several Russian participants became principal advisers to Gorbachev. CISAC also worked on its own studies that often influenced government policy. After retirement Doty continued his work on international security issues and on Russian-American scientific relations, for example serving as board member of Soros' International Science Foundation that provided critical research support to Russian scientists in the 1990s.

"The Minimum Deterrent & Beyond"
Journal Article, Daedalus, issue 4, volume 138
By Paul Doty, Director Emeritus, Center for Science and International Affairs; Mallinckrodt Professor of Biochemistry, Emeritus
"...[A] primary goal in the next decades must be to remove this risk of near global self-destruction by drastically reducing nuclear forces to a level where this outcome is not possible, but where a deterrent value is preserved in other words, to a level of minimum deterrence. This conception was widely discussed in the early years of the nuclear era, but it drowned in the Cold War flood of weaponry. No matter how remote the risk of civilization collapse may seem now despite its being so vivid only a few decades ago the elimination of this risk, for this century and centuries to come, must be a primary driver for radical reductions in nuclear weapons."

"The Forgotten Menace"
Op-Ed, Nature, volume 402
By Paul Doty, Director Emeritus, Center for Science and International Affairs; Mallinckrodt Professor of Biochemistry, Emeritus
The passage from one millennium to the next is a powerful stimulus to reflect on our most vital problems. Top of the list must be the legacy that this century bequeaths to the next and to the millennium beyond the risk that the tens of thousands of nuclear weapons left over from the Cold War will bring an end to civilization, warns Belfer Center founder Paul Doty writing in Nature magazine. While many informed people felt this threat during the Cold War, a sense of relief from imminent danger has been the hallmark of the first post-Cold War decade. As the concern over a global apocalypse has subsided it has been replaced by the threat of the use of one or a few weapons by accident, by terrorists or by rogue nations.

"Looking back over the three decades since arms control was codified in the nuclear age, it is clear that, both in concept and in practice, it has become a central feature of the military and political landscape. Nevertheless, it remains a conception in the service of policy, not an end in itself," writes Paul Doty in his analysis of the history and future of contemporary arms control.

"Nuclear detonations are constant reminders of mankind's capacity for violence," Paul Doty, founder of the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, writes in a Foreign Affairs article arguing for a comprehensive test-ban (ctb) treaty, "it is not surprising that people and governments conclude that if this symptom of supreme violence were exorcised, the risk of nuclear war itself would diminish."

"Why The Senate Should Rafity SALT II"
Op-Ed, The New York Times
By Paul Doty, Director Emeritus, Center for Science and International Affairs; Mallinckrodt Professor of Biochemistry, Emeritus
Writing in response to an op-ed published in the New York Times by Jeremy T. Stone, director of the Federation of American Scientists, Paul Doty, speaking on behalf of his F.A.S. colleagues, writes that "we do not believe that the goal of SALT, as purported by Stone, is the SALT process itself. We Believe that the objective of any SALT agreement must be the enhancement of security through progress in limiting strategic weapons. We are less concerned that the failure to ratify the SALT II treaty might have damaging effects of the SALT process than we are concerned that a failure to ratify will be an irreparable setback to the goal of getting the dangerous strategic arms race under control."

"A Defense of the SALT II Treaty"
Op-Ed, The Boston Globe
By Paul Doty, Director Emeritus, Center for Science and International Affairs; Mallinckrodt Professor of Biochemistry, Emeritus
Defending SALT II against the increasingly familiar catalog of half-truths and flawed analyses by which many hardliners are seeking to frighten Americans, defeat SALT and inaugurate a military buildup far beyond our needs, Paul Doty, founder of the Belfer Center, argues that perhaps the most underappreciated feature of SALT II is the agreement...to limit the number of warheads per missile to the maximum number thus far tested on that type of missile. This reduces by more than half the number of weapons the Soviets could eventually have mounted on the ICBMs and by doing so makes protective measures, such as multiple aim point systems for our own ICBMs, possible.

"Perhaps the most underappreciated feature of SALT II is the agreement recently reported to limit the number of war-heads per missile to the maximum number thus far tested on that type of missile," Belfer Center founder Paul Doty writes in a Washington Post op-ed. "This reduces by more than half the number of weapons the Soviets could eventually have mounted on their ICBMs, and by doing so makes protective measures such as multiple aim point systems (MAPS) for our own ICBMs possible."

"Arms Control Enters the Gray Area"
Journal Article, International Security, issue 3, volume 3
By Paul Doty, Director Emeritus, Center for Science and International Affairs; Mallinckrodt Professor of Biochemistry, Emeritus and Robert Metzger, Former Research Fellow, International Security Program, 1977-1978
"If a Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty is reached and ratified, ceilings and subceilings will have been placed on the number of launchers from which the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. could attack each other over intercontinental distances," the Belfer Center's Paul Doty and Robert Metzger write in an International Security article, "Yet, progress in reductions could be an illusion if at least a start is not made in bringing weapons of lesser range under control. These are the gray area weapons that can reach targets 400 to 2,000 miles or more distant from the point of launch....These gray area weapons unconstrained by either SALT or MBFR consist of a wide array of medium bombers, fighter- bombers, carrier aircraft, intermediate and medium range ballistic missiles and cruise missiles."

Iowa City police say a man reported a fight while driving drunk.
Police received a call Wednesday night from 49-year-old Ruston Spencer, who told a dispatcher he had been in a fight with two men in the parking lot of a pharmacy store.
Police tracked Spencer's location while he was on the phone and determined he was driving. He eventually arrived home and said he would be sitting on a lawn chair.
The Iowa City Press-Citizen says police received reports before Spencer's call about an intoxicated driver who had been inside the pharmacy, as well as calls about the fight.
A preliminary breath test showed Spencer's blood-alcohol level was more than three times the legal limit.
Spencer faces one count of drunken driving. Records do not list an attorney.

So my little guy is one month old. He is very gassy and fussy a lot, acts like he's in pain from the gass. He also spits up quite a bit at times... less if I make sure to burp him plenty and often. I've tried the moby but in reality he really doesn't like it unless I can get him asleep in it. Natural tummy soother seems to help him out a little bit but not much. The only thing that seems to work is a technique I learned where you cross his legs back and forth so they go indian style.. and you just keep repeating that slowly and rythmically. He hadn't pooped since yesterday and was very gassy. Doing this leg move got lots of gass out of him and he finally pooped again a bunch!
So, could it be something I"m eating? I took him to get him weighed at the hospital breastfeeding support group. He was 9 lbs 8 oz at birth, 9 lbs at 4 days old, and now at 1 month he is just over 12 lbs. He only got a little over 1 ounce when I nursed him. The lactation consultant said that I could have very rich milk.
I spoke to her about his gass problems. She suggested burping him halfway between a feeding. That helps a tiny bit with spit up. But she did mention that if nothing else is doing the trick she would suggest cutting dairy. Do you think that's it? I am a big dairy eater. If I do cut dairy what all do I need to cut? ALL dairy (cooked in foods, too) or just major dairy products? How soon will I see results if this is the problem?
**Edited to say that I try to nurse him at only one breast per feeding, but he feeds so often they all kind of mesh into one.

My son has celiac and loves the certified gluten free cheese pizza. We go there often and staff seems very knowledgable. Their website also provides their carb count which makes it a lot easier since we deal with type 1 diabetes as well. Took us a while to go there because of their reviews. Hopefully, my review will encourage others to give it a try.
I got the gf BBQ chicken pizza. I thought it was good. The crust was soft, which for me was a good change from all other gf crust being like cardboard. I will be back.
Worst gluten free pizza I've have so far. Paid $14.23 for the gluten free pepperoni. The crust tasted like powder in my mouth and they were skimpy on toppings. Had to ask for more pepperonis. And to top it off my stomach was not okay. I'm gluten intolerant so I definitely would say no for those with celiac.
Got a gluten-free menu and ordered off of it and even pointed to the gluten-free menu as We ordered and the waiter punched in a regular pizza. After eating a slice we asked to confirm that it was gluten-free and he said no. He then argued with us that we had not ordered gluten-free until we reminded him we were pointing at the gluten-free menu. He did not seem to understand how devastating it was to Have eaten the pizza and said at least it was only one slice and he would try to get it taken off our bill. We were in complete shock I had not eaten gluten in almost 10 years other than unavoidable cross-contamination He did get it taken off the bill and offered to give us a new pizza which we declined. The waiter was apologetic in the end however the manager didn't even come over and apologize or check in with us and I heard him tell her what happened, terrible customer service. We will not be going here again. Beware!!!
Gf pizza has returned!
GF crust was discontinued "temporarily" and has never returned (2012).

excellent gf pizzas and all the staff is savvy on the items marked gf on menu have no gluten ingredients but for fully certified gluten free order off the gf menu. I always worry when there is flour in the air from pizza doughs or bakery items but gf pizzas are wrapped and are fully gf!

So the poke I had last night seemed more authentic, but this is CPK, so I wasn't expecting authenticity. Just an easy meal where my kid would be happy and I could relax, knowing I wouldn't get glutened. And that's what I got. Mahalo! Also, I like their fruit ice tea.

The GF BBQ chicken Pizza was great but crust could be crispier. The grilled vegetable salad was phenomenal, added the grilled chicken but be sure to specify Gluten allergy as the chicken is normally grilled on same grille as wheat tortillas. They will line grille with aluminum foil if requesting GF.

McCarran International Airport, 5757 Wayne Newton Boulevard, Las Vegas, NV 89111
saddly no gf options in the airport stores.
53 Third Street, San Francisco, CA 94103
Good pizza at the 3rd Street location in San Francisco. No reaction after. Order with manager to be sure.
7101 Democracy Blvd., Bethesda, MD
Enjoyed the salad w chicken on it - from the GF menu. Nice dressing too!
618 Smith Haven Mall, Lake Grove, NY 11755
Tasty GF pizza, they have added more gf items to the menu than they used to have.
1 Garden State Plaza, #1160, Paramus, NJ 07652
Although it sometimes takes a little longer to get your GF order, it is definitely worth it. We go pretty often and my daughter is always happy with her pizza. The managers there are wonderful and always check on you and bring the food when you order GF. Definitely worth a trip to the mall just for this restaurant.
3400 Las Vegas Blvd. South, Las Vegas, NV
Salad menu options for GF, about it. Don't even have a GF crust. Definitely NOT a celiac friendly restaurant.
11655 Ash Street, Leawood, KS 66211
found out last week I have celiac. this is the first restaurant I've eaten at since. staff was very friendly and explained they have selections on the main menu, but are not celiac friendly; for that they have a separate menu with only a few selections of pizza. Manager came by twice to check on me and asked my honest opinion. when I explained I have nothing to compare, he suggested spin pizza which also is suppose to have GF pizza. the pizza was a little burned around he edges, and the manager offered to remake it. honestly, I didn't think it was terrible just different. I would definitely go back. so far I'm not having any issues to think of cross contamination.
400 Commons Way, Bridgewater, NJ 08807
Hate to rate it 3 stars but CPK knows they need to expand the gluten free menu. I have had the gluten free pizza which was good, nothing will ever beat a regular pie though. As always friendly and polite staff. Hoping this drives CPK to expand the menu.
470 Mall Boulevard, King of Prussia, PA 19406
CD friendly! Awesome pizza. Friendly crew!
1202 Commons Drive, Geneva, IL 60134
I have celiac & this is one of three go-to restaurants where I always feel safe. Many pizzas, never been sick. Trained staff & pizzas made in separate area.
1120 Broadway Plaza, Walnut Creek, CA 94596
I have really severe celiac and any cross contamination will make me really sick. I talked to the manager and he made sure everything was done right. The pizza was great and glad I know I can come back!
210 Wilshire Blvd., Santa Monica, CA 90401
Pizzas are certified GF. All other item menus not necessarily safe for celiacs. But the pizzas are delicious. Wish they had GF beer.
551 Oak Brook Center, Oak Brook, IL 60523
We used to go here for their gluten free pizza. My 4 year old is celiac. We went today and they have pulled the GF pizza from the menu pending a review with GIG to make it better. Disappointing. We had to leave since the remaining GF options aren't really friendly for kids - basically salads. It will be good when the pizza is back, but not until then.
6301 North Point Pkwy, Alpharetta, GA 30022
We eat here a lot! I have celiac and I have NEVER gotten sick. The service is typically fantastic, the first couple of times we went in the manager came to the table and explained their gluten free procedures for the kitchen and everything. When we order to-go they always have my pizza box sealed with a gluten free sticker. Best gluten-free crust I have ever had.
4200 Fairfax Corner West Avenue, Fairfax, VA 22030
good pizza shop. gluten free crusts available. they normally skimp on toppings so it's worth 2$ extra to get a normally topped pizza. recommend the bbq chicken pizza. second visit with still no problems
118 Shawan Road, Hunt Valley, MD 21030
Great GF pizza!
24155 Laguna Hills Mall, Laguna Hills, CA 92653
the pizza crust is awful....try selmas in ladera ranch
6227 South State Street, Murray, UT 84107
This was a pretty decent place to eat out, but be aware that if you are celiac or gluten intolerant, you will be limited to a pizza menu with only four choices on it. Make sure and all four the special gluten free pizza menu as these are not shown on the regular menu. If you opt to order something other than a pizza, it will be an entree salad and they had four to choose from that sounded pretty good. I ended up with one of the gluten free pizzas and a wedge salad that was enjoyable. Update 12 hours later - here I am in agony from being glutened by eating here. Changing from four to two stars - no clue what caused it, but I can only guess the caution in meal preparation was not there. Wish people realized how sensitive one can be to gluten, but I suppose eating out is always a risk. Maybe better training for staff would drive this home.
4031 Hillsboro Pike, Nashville, TN 37215
Gf menu. Tasty pizza. I always tell them how sensitive I am and I have never had a problem.
2800 N Main Street #872, Santa Ana, CA 92705
has GF pizza, some salads and salmon on menu.
1120 Broadway Plaza, Walnut Creek, CA 94596
The GF pizza was not the greatest. Tasted just like any other GF pizza I could get in the freezer aisle at the grocery store. They burnt it as well and said that's how they normally cook it. My daughter got the non GF cheese pizza and rated it a 4 out of 10. Can't say we would go back.
2284 Kalakaua Avenue, Honolulu, HI 96815
Only 3 options of pizza that are guaranteed GF, prepared separately with full GF items. Had the barbecue chicken pizza, tasty. I do not show symptoms, cannot guarantee.
1400 Willowbrook Mall, Wayne, NJ 07470
Their GF bbq chicken is awesome!!!!! Just like the original
1100 Del Monte Center, Monterey, CA 93940
Certified GF menu. Pizza was great. Manager brought it out. Cooked in its own kitchen. Our go to place. Have not got sick here yet.
3400 Las Vegas Blvd. South, Las Vegas, NV
Terrible California Pizza Kitchen location. No gluten free pizza offered at this location because the kitchen is "too small." There was a tiny note on the menu that I almost didn't notice that stated this, but it was after we had already sat down & we were starving so we stayed anyway. Had to have yet another salad. Slow service too.
2284 Kalakaua Avenue, Honolulu, HI 96815
Wonderful location. Great service. Pizza (as quoted by my son the GF pizza connoisseur) was absolutely fabulous. Both of us are celiac and sensitive and we are both just fine. I had the Cobb salad and pizza with him. Items are marked GF.
10001 Perkins Rowe, Baton Rouge, LA 70810
First visit ever to a California Pizza Kitchen. I called ahead and spoke to someone just to see if they acted as though they had a clue. The person who answered was very knowledgable. We asked for a gluten free menu when we were being seated. The regular menu did have some salads and such marked as gluten free. I asked our waiter if I needed to speak to the manager and he assured me he understood and could handle it. We had 2 gluten free pizzas. They were delicious and delivered by the manager. They both had gluten free toothpicks things in them to show they were gluten free. They were delicious! My celiac daughter had no issues. We will be back!
3101 PGA Blvd., L-21, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33410
My go-to when I am craving pizza! Even my non-celiac daughter prefers the gf pizza over the regular. Let them know you are celiac and they are very careful and manger brings your pizza out separately.
53 Third Street, San Francisco, CA 94103
Celiac friendly and very accommodating to allergies (my daughter is nightshade and they prepared the GF food without).
1256 Old Country Road, Westbury, NY 11590
They don't have a separate gf oven and take no precautions to avoid cc...like enclosing the pizza in a gf oven safe bag...not celiac safe.
1450 Ala Moana Blvd., Honolulu, HI 96814
Crust tasted like cardboard. We had to send it back because it wasn't cooked in the middle. Three stars because we didn't get sick, but I've definitely had better pizza.
27500 Novi Road, Novi, MI 48377
Live their pizza! Awesome food and careful preparation!
4200 Fairfax Corner West Avenue, Fairfax, VA 22030
Very good service. Ask for the GF menu and they bring you a menu of the pizzas that are made in their dedicated kitchen. I ordered the Original BBQ Chicken Pizza. The server came out to let us know that the pizza got a little too crispy so they were making us a brand new pizza. When the pizza came out it was personally delivered by the manager on duty. It had the right amount of crispyness and tasted food. My mom and I ate the whole pizza and she's not GF!
4999 Old Orchard Center, Skokie, IL 60077
Ate here several times, most recently 8/3/16. Separate Gluten Free pizza menu with 4 different kinds. Also several gluten free salad options clearly marked on the main menu. Courteous staff.
6000 Glades Rd. #1230, Boca Raton, FL 33431
The food was delicious! Our server, Omar, was amazing! His wife has to eat gluten free so it was a great comfort knowing he really understands.
300 Monticello Avenue, #149, Norfolk, VA 23510
GF margarita pizza was delicious! Very happy girl!
10150 Stockdale Hwy., Bakersfield, CA 93311
I would give it five stars but you don't have a lot of options! The California Cobb salad is my favorite it's the only reason I go here
136 Boardwalk Place, Gaithersburg, MD 20878
I tried the gluten-free pizza, and their crust was the worst gluten-free crust I've ever eaten! It had the consistency of a soggy cracker. I ended up just eating the toppings off of the top. I was very disappointed because I enjoyed California Pizza Kitchen before I was diagnosed with Celiacs.
6000 Glades Rd. #1230, Boca Raton, FL 33431
They have a special gluten free menu. Care is taken to avoid cross contamination and our waitress, Cristin, was very knowledgeable about gluten and the menu items that my daughter could have. The gluten free pizza was delicious.
55 Fortune Drive, Ste. 600, Irvine, CA
Gluten Free pizza is good but expensive!!! Individual size pizza (and we had to get 3) starting at $16.00 for plain and up from there. Most places have gluten free pizza for between $10.00-$12.00 for same size. Would go if only option around due to cost.
2223 N. Westshore Blvd., #189, Tampa, FL 33607
Great pizza!
11602 Carmel Mt. Rd., San Diego, CA 92128
The gluten free crust is the worst I have had. My husband tasted it and agreed. It was not edible. Do not order!
303 Memorial City Way, Houston, TX 77024
Very nice place and excellent gluten free pizza, big size, thin crust, and great price. It has several ones to choose from, but the best one is the bbq chicken pizza. My husband and my sons didn't have any problems.
1201 S. Hayes St., Suite F, Arlington, VA

Sesame oil was first referred to in the 6th century as "Moa" in China and "Koba" in Japan. The tiny seed was also considered a highly prized food source in Babylon, Assyria and many other Eastern countries for at least 4000 years. Flora Hydro-Therm Sesame Oil is rich in vitamin E and plant sterols. Its exquisite, full-flavored taste is perfectly suited for marinades, stir-frying, and Asian cuisines.
Flora Hydro-Therm Oils attribute their extraordinary taste and exceptional quality to a proprietary technique derived from old-world, European pressing methods. This gentle, low-temperature process employs light toasting, sea salt, and cool filtered water to protect and ensure the natural spectrum of omega fatty acids. To maintain peak nutritional value and prevent oxidation, the oils are nitrogen-flushed and packaged in light-resistant dark glass bottles. Flora Hydro-Therm Oils are pure, unfiltered, unrefined and made with certified organic ingredients.
Suggested Use
Flora Hydro-Therm Sesame Oil has an exquisite, full-flavored taste perfectly suited for marinades, stir-frying and Asian cuisines.

Organic sesame oil. Nitrogen-flushed to maintain freshness.

10 Classic Video Games Still Raking In Cash
Sales of new video game hardware, software and accessories fell 24%, to $848 million, in September from $1.1 billion the same time a year earlier, according to NPD Group. That's 10 straight months of declines despite releases including Electronic Arts' (EA) Madden NFL '13 and Battlefield 3 and 2K Games' (TTWO) Borderlands 2 .
Sales of games alone, including computer games, fell 14%, to $547.3 million. Nobody's buying hardware such as Microsoft's(MSFT) Xbox 360 or Sony's(SNE) PlayStation 3, which saw sales fall a whopping 39% last month. The gaming world is eagerly awaiting the release of Nintendo's Wii U console in November, but even that may not be enough to bring video games back to their pre-recession, pre-iPhone heights.
Even online gaming has taken a hit. Facebook(FB) blamed its slow revenue growth on users not playing as many games from FarmVille maker Zynga(ZNGA) as they used to. That downturn led Zynga to do away with 13 of its games and lay off 5% of its staff earlier this week.
Not that a small but well-funded niche of gamers cares. On full display at the Retro Gaming Expo in Portland, Ore., last month, the retro gaming community pores through bins of old Atari, Colecovision, Nintendo and Sega games searching for hidden gems and old childhood favorites. It pays more now for hard-to-find games such as War of the Gems or X-Men: Children of the Atom than it did when they were released.
It also still plugs away at vintage arcade machines such as Bally Midway's half video game/half pinball machine Baby Pac-Man or Atari's aging movie tie-in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom . This mish-mash of late baby boomers, Gen Xers and Gen Y still loves these games and, thanks to their newfound adult income, still shells out to get their own copies.
With help from the folks at Denver-based vintage game dealership J.J. Games and its Price Charting blog, we've come up with 10 games still raking in the cash years after their initial release. Time will tell if old copies of Guitar Hero or Just Dance will do the same:
10. Atlantis II
Format: Atari 2600
Highest price ever paid: $5,000
It's not that hard to get a functioning Atari 2600 or any of the consoles or adapters that played its games. It's far more difficult to get your hands on this game, which was never sold commercially -- it was offered only as a prize to players who maxed out the high score on the original Atlantis shortly after its release in 1982.

Moratorium is simply hot airJanuary 23,2013
State Sen. Joe Benning, in his Jan. 12 commentary, Big wind, take two, is spouting the usual fear-mongering of demagogues (who sometimes seem to think of themselves as demi-gods) in attacking wind power in Vermont. Up go the palisades.
Benning is pandering to the very small but extremely loud minority fanatically opposing any of the small steps being taken to deal with the threat to life on planet Earth due to climate change, produced and exacerbated by the carbon dioxide poured into our fragile atmosphere.
Sadly, he is resorting to gross hyperbole in attacking supporters of wind energy. He states that wind proponents claim these projects are the magical silver bullet that will solve our electric needs and cure mans contribution to global pollution. I have never heard an alternative energy proponent make any such fantasmagorical claim. Wind power utilization is a small start toward weaning ourselves away from the self-destructive burning of fossil fuels that produce the carbon. We must use every tool, and we had better start now. As Im sure the senator knows, it is always expensive to put new technologies on the line. Look what televisions, computers, digital cameras, even ballpoint pens cost when first introduced (when the first ballpoint pen came out it cost $17 in the mid 1940s and it was terrible).
Wind projects are not causing environmental destruction of our mountains as Benning rants. There is always some local disruption of the landscape in any construction project, but it can and is cleaned up and things are put back to normal. Where is his voice shouting against ski areas and mountainside high-rise condominiums?
Make no mistake, this is not about destruction or cost; its NIMBYism taken to a high degree. Maybe he would rather see a large coal-fired power plant within his home view, or a nuclear power plant.
Or better, simply go without electricity altogether.
Tell your senator to vote no on the wind-power moratorium.
