Well-known climate analyst, author of 'The Honest Broker' urges people "Please Read Climate Progress"
UPDATE: Roger Pielke, Jr. is a Senior Fellow for an organization that is dedicating all of its resources to killing any chance of either a national or international effort to avert catastrophic global warming and to spreading disinformation about Obama, Gore, Congressional Democrats, and the environmental movement. My bad. I keep forgetting how many people who come to CP on any given day aren't regular readers and so don't have the full context for some of my posts. Back to the humor.
Now that they* have shut down his original popular blog Prometheus, I don't read his new obscure blog, cleverly named "Roger Pielke Jr.'s Blog." As an aside, I'm guessing Pielke's gonna follow up his book, The Honest Broker, with one titled Roger Pielke's book. But I digress.
So it wasn't until googlealerts pinged me this morning that I learned about Pielke's July 31 plea to his readers to "Please Read Climate Progress."
Yes, I know what you're thinking, "he's got a dwindling number of readers, Joe, so what does it really matter if he asks them to Please Read Climate Progress?" But I say it does matter when any blogger uses his or her precious real estate to reach out and selflessly urge people — plea with them, really — to read someone else's blog.
Yes, I still know what you're thinking, "RPJ, has a tiny little problem with falsehoods — he simply can't stop uttering them over and over and over again."
Now you're just trying to hurt my feelings. I mean, he even ends his post:
I'm pleased for people to read what I write here and also to read Climate Progress (which I strongly encourage) and come to their own conclusions about the arguments that they encounter.
That's as sincere RPJ gets!
Yes, I still know what you're thinking, "RPJ is just trying to pretend that he's more reasonable than you are, so the media will continue to be suckered into believing his contrarian bullsh!t, believing he is an honest broker."
To which I reply, I don't think anybody's going to be fooled into thinking Roger is reasonable when he still seems to be his old vicious self, writing:
To give Joe a bit of a break, he has a role to play for CAP as a bulldog cheerleader for the Waxman-Markey bill. His salary depends upon playing this role….
Now anyone would say that accusing somebody of not blogging what they believe but merely what they are paid to say or suggesting that what they write is policed by their bosses under threat of firing is the most outrageous form of attack on one's professional integrity. And of course, an utter falsehood, as anyone who knows me or CAP. And if I were like RPJ, I'd demand he offer any proof of that libelous statement.
But I'm just going to take that apparent smear to be good ole' Roger's obscurely wry sense of humor. After all, if Pielke really believed half the crap he writes, if he really believed that sentence, for instance, he couldn't possibly "strongly encourage" people to read my blog. It would be intellectually dishonest to recommend the blog of someone you really thought was blogging a certain way because "his salary depends" on it. No honest broker could do that. And of course my regular readers know that I'm no bulldog cheerleader for the B- Waxman-Markey bill as I've noted many times.
No, this is just Pielke having fun with everyone. He's a real kidder.
Even funnier, Pielke claims that since I began writing about him, "Sales of The Honest Broker jump as well." Who else but Roger would brag that my critiques have sent his book soaring all the way to #279,894 on Amazon. He cracks me up!
Yeah, Pielke humorously asserts "he has falsely accused my university of violating my academic freedom by shutting down our blog, Prometheus." But anyone who reads the posts knows that I never did any such thing. I wrote
Now that they've shut down his original blog…
True, I carelessly didn't explain who I meant by "they" — although I clearly did say in the comments section that I was trying to be snarky, to needle someone who had so viciously humorously misrepresented what I wrote, which I thought would be obvious to anyone with a sense of humor like Roger. After all, nobody voluntarily shuts down a blog to start a new one with maybe one tenth the readers just for the fun of it. Since Roger asserts he did so voluntarily, but has never offered a rational explanation for why he did that, let me offer my explanation for what I meant, why I put an asterisk next to "they" in the second paragraph above.
By "they" I meant "all of Rogers different personalities." You know, the personality that allows him to say on the one hand that he believes the IPCC science and that we must stabilize around 500 ppm and the other personality who only offers policies that would lead to 1000 ppm and who trashes anybody who suggests policies that would get close to 500 ppm or better. Or the personality that told Nature "Clearly since 1970 climate change (i.e., defined as by the IPCC to include all sources of change) has shaped the disaster loss record" and later praised a study that finds there is a better than 50% chance that human-emissions are contributing to increased losses from hurricanes since 1971. That personality is clearly a whole 'nother person than the one who harshly smears the professional reputation of any scientist who says anything remotely similar and even more harshly attacks the professional reputation of hundreds of scientists who merely sat quietly in an audience listening to someone say something similar.
So whenever I write, "now that they have shut down his original blog," you'll all get the joke that I mean "now that Roger's various personalities have agreed to shut down his original blog" — but of course it won't be funny anymore now that I've explained it. Darn.
The bottom line is that other than his plea to his readers to read Climate Progress, you should just make it your working assumption that every single thing Roger Pielke Jr. writes is a joke. That's why I have filed this under "Humor."

Related- He's just one-upped his previous accusation against a RC of blogger of "stealing" with a new accusation of "plagiarism".
Since with both RP's it's all about them, why give him more of the attention he so clearly craves?
[JR: I set the record straight from time to time, that's all.]
Joe, would you be interested in a live discussion with Pielkes Jr and/or Sr? If so I can work toward arranging it.
[JR: Why? Senior has jumped the shark — or perhaps just come out of the denier closet — by partnering with his new BFF Anthony Watts and pushing the weather is climate meme.
Junior "concedes" the science — having written here (!) "We define 'acceptable levels' in our Nature paper as 500 ppm (the level focused on by IPCC WG III) and 450 ppm (the level focused on by the EU and implicitly in the FCCC)." So nothing to discuss there. And this is CO2eq, and as Junior notes, "450 ppm CO2eq (or about 400 CO2)."
The only interesting question left to discuss is how to we get to 400 – 450 ppm CO2. That is HARD, but I have spelled out here how to do it. So has IEA and a few others. Roger is not an expert on energy solutions and has refused to spell out his answer. Until he does, there's nothing to discuss. He just attacks anyone who does spell out an answer and proposes doing stuff that would take us to 1000 ppm (see here).
Until he proposes his own solution, he has the luxury of saying he believes the science while trashing people who actually propose doing the hard job of actually making serious proposal based on the science. Tiresome.
Also, Junior owes an apology to 3,000 AAAS scientists, Al Gore, me, and the scientists who wrote the U.S. assessment, for having attacked our professional reputations with no basis in fact whatsoever. Until then, he's just another de facto naysayer with no real solutions for anyone.]
Hey Richard why bother with all that just have the many Pielkes, since there seems to be enough of them do a round table discussion, just live discuss with themselves, it would have the same outcome and let Joe go on Vacation in peace
Oh dear I am laughing so hard and I just CANNOT decide which is the more risible, your post or this:
Have a wonderful vacation in Maine!
something everyone in the persuasion business has to keep double-checking.

Yes, I noticed that too. Obviously it's a crock. How tiresome it is to have to keep whacking all those moles – it's a good thing folks can take turns.
The "accusation" is a Moranoism. Direct from Markie's lips to Roger's blog, direct.
As to Watts and Pielke Sr. it should have been obvious to anyone paying attention that they were pulling on the same thread, starting with Sr's manuscript on weather stations in Colorado. Among the amusement is that the Colorado State (Fort Collins) station the old guy was in charge of was right next to a parking lot, as well as close to a bunch of trees.
"Related- He's just one-upped his previous accusation against a RC of blogger of "stealing" with a new accusation of "plagiarism"."
"Yes, I noticed that too. Obviously it's a crock."
How is it "obviously…a crock"?
Joe –
Thanks for your typically eloquent reply about my suggesting a debate between you and Roger Pielke, Jr, who is a obviously a big fan of ClimateProgress because he immediately e-mailed me saying he'd gladly accept an invitation to have a public discussion that I would moderate.
While I might disagree with Roger in certain key areas, I know him personally and have always found him to be reasonable and civil in discussions. I can't see him trying to shout you down, interrupting or using other inappropriate and unintelligent tactics.
We could host the event in Boulder and I know many NOAA, NCAR, CIRES, INSTAAR, NSIDC and NREL directors and senior scientists who would attend and support your positions. In fact my hope is that you and the process could recruit more of them to become uncharacteristically blunt scientists, something I've been working on helping them become for many years.
Although my career has completely shifted to helping communicate climate change and related issues, I've been a working, produced and award-winning screenwriter and I know what audiences like, and one of those things is (appropriate) conflict, not the agreement which unfortunately often puts audiences to sleep. I'm sure you've noticed how your postings involving conflicts with Roger can get hundreds of comments.
We could webcast on your website, create links for your audience, and help you get your word out however you'd like.
Of course I'd need to give Roger the same opportunities to make his points. While I'm still trying to understand your areas of conflict, in many other areas of discussion I've seen Roger think more creatively, completely and with more full-cost accounting than I usually see.
And as the physical science becomes better established, I think we need to hear increasingly from social scientists (Pielke, Jr. is a social scientist, his father is a physical climate scientist) also.
I think the results would be high-energy, insightful, illuminating, entertaining, and yes, funny. I'd insist the conversation be as engaging as possible without any of us resorting to name-calling, figure-pointing, personal insults or profanity.
Any number of world-class discussants could be involved in break-out sessions and we could have a truly world-class event that moves the conversation forward, as you've done so eloquently in your response and postings.
In addition to a Boulder event, we'd be happy to also consider D.C., New York, L.A. (where I'm planning events at Cal Tech and UCLA), etc.
I think if you did this once you'd like it – and grow your already considerable audience, which is something I'd like to see happen also.
Thanks Joe,
Richard Brenne
[JR: I appreciate the offer, but I don't accept many long-distance speaking engagements these days because I work at home with my 2 1/2 year old daughter; it's not an efficient use of my time (I communicate to a great many more people through CP — with some 7000 subscribers now and an equal additional number who visit every day), air travel is increasingly unpleasant, and I am trying to minimize my carbon footprint.
As for Pielke, I don't view him as a terribly relevant to the debate anymore and I'm not looking for new readers among people who think his perspective is terribly relevant — assuming of course anybody actually knows what his perspective is, other than how he defines it on any given day to attack anyone who proposes something reasonable to do to stabilize near 450 ppm or below. Pielke is probably the most debunked person in the climate science blogosphere who claims to believe in a 450 ppm CO2 target. If you follow any of the exchanges he has had, you'll know that like "debating" Pielke is like a debating Humpty Dumpty: "When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less." So Pielke thinks he has won all of these exchanges where in fact he has been trounced again and again.
Pielke had a small amount of relevance when Bush was president because Pielke's proposed do-little climate policies were somewhat closer to the center than Bush's do-nothing policies. And of course he had a pretty popular blog. Now that both the scientific and political reality have moved sharply toward an understanding of the dire need for action, Pielke I think has been left far behind, like Lomborg. And of course as everyone now knows Pielke "voluntarily" gave up that popular blog to start an obscure one. If he is voluntarily choosing obscurity, perhaps that's the best place for him.
So I don't see any upside for me, CP, or future generations in debating Pielke.]
Mark B asked:
How is it "obviously…a crock"?
I agree with andrewt's assessment of the accusation of plagiarism made by RPjr:
"In venues where acknowledgements of people who point out errors are normally included, omission of such an acknowledgement would be impolite and unprofessional but not plagiarism."
And of course we don't know whether Hu McCullough's correction was received, or if it was, whether it was the first one received. There is even some dispute about whether corrigienda in Nature usually include acknowledgments or not.
But even if the facts are as alleged, it still doesn't rise to plagiarism. Not even close.
Here's a real example of plagiarism, in case you missed it:
Now for some reason, RPjr had problems figuring out whether or not the Alan Carlin/Patrick Michaels "suppressed" report was plagiarism. But he seemed to hold that even if it was an unsolicited, plagiarized pastiche of pseudo-scientific nonsense, it should still have been allowed to circulate as an official EPA internal review. Okaaaay …
Joe, I hope you`re enjoying your vacation.
While you did say later in your comment thread that you were just trying to be snarky, your earlier comments to Roger on the same thread make it pretty clear that you had thought that "some wise people" were responsible for an essentially non-voluntary closure of Roger`s blog.
[JR: You can't be serious. You really can't tell that the "some very wise people" line was further snarky needling of Roger? my father always said that unless you explicitly label every single snarky or humorous thing you write as humor, you can be sure people will write in angrily.]
I don`t know why you don`t simply acknowledge that you don`t really have information that his blog closure was anything but voluntary, even while you (and we) ponder why he would close the Prometheus platform and start his own blog. That path would seem to offer greater credibility.
[JR: I have already done that. How else would you interpret the sentence "Yes, I'm happy to if acknowledge that it seems to have been "semi voluntary" — but like I said, who really voluntarily shuts down a very popular blog to launch an obscure one?" People do lots of things "voluntarily" that they would never do if they had not been motivated by external forces — walking the plank I believe it is called. You are willfully misinterpreting that which I said with humor and willfully ignoring what I have clearly written as a serious. In short, you are beating a dead horse, which makes me wonder about your motivations. It is one of those semantic debates that Pielke enjoys pulling people into as to whether the word "voluntarily" really applies to somebody who shuts down a very popular blog in order to open a more obscure one and offers no logical explanation for that odd behavior? I will leave that to linguists. This horse is dead and I think we can bury it along with Prometheus.]
Joe, I can vouch for your independence from CAP. Also, I'd love to see you debate Pielke.
[JR: Thanks. All CAP bloggers are independent from editorial oversight. Of course, one of the main reasons I came to CAP is that they had already publicly endorsed the 2°C warming target. Once you have accepted the urgent need to come as close as possible to that target, then I think you have to take the kind of hard-edged approach I do — unless you're RPJ, in which case your public pronouncements on the science all are merely a head fake. As for the debate, I'm about to post a comment on that.]
Joe –
You're very kind to respond so completely. Your thoroughness on your blog is just amazing.
I've been looking to see (and support) who the Carl Sagan of climate change can be. Al Gore does a phenomenal job but through no fault of his own his political background polarizes an unfortunately high percentage of the population.
I just spoke with Neil deGrasse Tyson about speaking more about climate change and he's smart, funny and can fill any-sized auditorium with his personality and voice, but he doesn't appear interested.
You are – and will continue to be – one of my greatest hopes in this area, and I'd like to support your efforts all I can.
The greatest carbon offset is to be helping all of us kick our carbon habit, so traveling to do that is actually admirable (while there's much traveling that is not).
And as a primary caregiver myself, I applaud your decision and devotion. Interestingly, Pielke, Jr also strikes me as a devoted father. And he rides a scooter around Boulder, so I don't think he's personally going to get us to 1000 ppm by himself.:) Someday I hope you'll reconsider this offer – I'm known for moderating discussions where vehement disagreements have ended in hugs and the combatants singing "Kumbaya" with their arms around each other – I'm not kidding.
Thanks Joe.
If "Pielke is probably the most debunked person in the climate science blogosphere who claims to believe in a 450 ppm CO2 target", then you wouldn't have any problem debunking him in a public debate…right?
[JR: Wrong question. The question is why waste any time on him at all? He isn't a scientist and doesn't dispute the science and asserted on this blog we must stabilize at 400 to 450 ppm CO2. So not much to debate there. And he certainly isn't an expert on climate solutions. Like I said, he simply isn't relevant to the debate anymore, and his "voluntary" decision to abandon his more widely read website for a much more obscure one suggests a diminishing audience.
The fact that he is so widely debunked should tell you that he puts out a lot of misinformation and disinformation. It is a waste of my time to give him a platform to spread mis- and dis-information and then have to use all my time debunking it. Look, I mostly try to ignore him, but he is prolific and popular with a small slice of the media — as is The Breakthrough Insitute — so I devote maybe 1% of my posts to him. But now that he is voluntarily gone into obscurity, I hope to devote far less time to him.]

Canada approves two energy takeovers worth $20 bn
Ottawa (AFP) Dec 7, 2012
Canada on Friday approved two major takeovers of energy firms by the Chinese state-owned giant CNOOC and Malaysia's national oil company Petronas - deals worth an estimated more than US$20 billion in total. Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced regulatory approval for CNOOC's $15.1 billion takeover of oil and gas company Nexen, and Petronas' offer for Canadian gas producer Progress Energy Resources, estimated at $5.5 billion. However, he cautioned that Ottawa would henceforth block attempts b ... read more

Viking Legend Cruise Review by FredMagellan: Budapest to Passau on the Danube
Overall Member Rating
Budapest to Passau on the Danube
Destination: Europe - River Cruise
Embarkation: Budapest
We were expecting a great time based on the comments we had heard from friends. Our only fear was being locked into eating most of our meals on board.
We actually had a stupendous time, far exceeding our wildest expectations and the food was five star quality and we had more choices each night than we had expected during the entire trip.
Entertainment was great. Our only disappointment - and it was a small one - was that the trip to the Summer Palace of the Austrian Royal Family, which was an extra, was not as spectacular as we had hoped. This was partly due to rain which caused us to miss the gardens, but we would have had little time for them even without the rain.
The entire crew was outstanding - almost unbelievably so - and our room was kept extraordinarily well. We met a lot of nice people and made a few friends that will hopefully remain so for years to come! Less

Business In China Explained: Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprises
This form of set-up is becoming increasingly more popular with investors, due its nature of maximum control: there is no prerequisite involvement from Chinese investors.
Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprises (WFOE) are, in essence, limited liability companies set-up in China through foreign investment exclusively. This form of set-up is becoming increasingly more popular with investors, due its nature of maximum control: there is no prerequisite involvement from Chinese investors.
However, the permission to establish a WFOE is seldom granted in comparison to Joint Ventures.
They are generally only allowed if the nature of business mean either half the yearly output is exported, or if operations depend heavily on contemporary technology that is beneficial to China.
As with Joint Ventures, WFOEs generally need to balance their foreign exchange and are permitted to operate in facilities aside from those regulated by the Foreign Management Bureau. As a licit entity in China, a WFOE is allowed to sign separate contracts with the Chinese government, which enables the right to rent buildings, use land and benefit from utility services.
The independence from external Chinese control may seem good, but is also perhaps why so many fail: there is no Chinese partner to help you through the process, such as government approval, regulatory issues, logistics, etc. Likewise, when it comes to forging the necessary relationships which help accelerate profits, you'll be out there on your own, starting from scratch.
Other factors that must be weighed against your company's sovereignty include Chinese labour. Different locations will have different rulings, but all are similar in intention: your company may be required to employ nationals.
The registration capital required also varies for a WFOE. It depends on the type of venture you intend to set up and the location you choose to do so. The minimum amount, however, is RMB 1,000,000 (approx 」85,000).
Another facet to consider is your business scope: if you deicide to follow other pursuits, contrary to those outlined when applying for your business license, you first have to obtain permission from the Chinese authorities.
It's a paradox: being constrained by freedom. And it's a hefty choice to make. Will you relinquish some control for the benefits of a local partner, or retain complete control with a WFOE and run the risk falling at the first hurdles?
Investigate Joint Ventures and Representative Offices before making any rash decision.

Contributions of pauli repulsions to the energetics and physical properties computed in QM/MM methods

Conventional combined quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) methods lack explicit treatment of Pauli repulsions between the quantum-mechanical and molecular-mechanical subsystems. Instead, classical Lennard-Jones (LJ) potentials between QM and MM nuclei are used to model electronic Pauli repulsion and long-range London dispersion, despite the fact that the latter two are inherently of quantum nature. Use of the simple LJ potential in QM/MM methods can reproduce minimal geometries and energies of many molecular clusters reasonably well, as compared to full QM calculations. However, we show here that the LJ potential cannot correctly describe subtle details of the electron density of the QM subsystem because of the neglect of Pauli repulsions between the QM and MM subsystems. The inaccurate electron density subsequently affects the calculation of electronic and magnetic properties of the QM subsystem. To explicitly consider Pauli interactions with QM/MM methods, we propose a method to use empirical effective potentials on the MM atoms. The test case of the binding energy and magnetic properties of a water dimer shows promising results for the general application of effective potentials to mimic Pauli repulsions in QM/MM calculations. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

We present algorithms for a motion planning for multiple agents whose goals are to visit multiple locations with probabilistic guarantees for achieving the goal. Though much research has been done in stochastic shortest path algorithms, the existing algorithms focus on the single-origin single-destination problem for one agent. This paper formulates a general framework for the stochastic shortest path problem with visit node constraints designed to achieve a specific goal with multiple agents, multiple resources, and multiple destinations. The constraints are defined by a set of sequences of nodes to be visited. Given predetermined constraints, our motion planning problem consists of finding the best agents, resources, and destinations, and the path through a sequence of nodes representing them. The technique in this paper solves the problem at the same level of complexity as solving the single-origin single-destination problem by parallelization. We demonstrate the algorithm by a Web-based traffic navigation guide system and evaluate the algorithm's performance.

Feminist Social Work Theory and Practice (Paperback)Lena Dominelli, Jo Campling
Paperback Published: 28/01/2002
- Can be ordered from our supplier
Feminist theories of social work have been criticized for treating women as a uniform category and displaying insufficient sensitivity to the complex ways in which other social divisions (those of race, age, disability, etc.) impact on gender relations. This text seeks to develop a new framework for feminist social work that takes on board postmodernist arguments to do with difference and power yet retains a commitment to collective solidarity and social change. As such, it should be useful reading for students, educators and practitioners alike in social work.

Adding public cloud resources to an existing application can be a daunting process. The tools that you currently use to manage the software and hardware outside the cloud aren't always the best tools to efficiently grow into the cloud. All of the major configuration management tools have cloud orchestration plugins that can be leveraged, but there are also cloud-native tools that can dramatically improve the efficiency of managing your application lifecycle.

Deploying applications in hybrid cloud environments is hard work. Your team spends most of the time maintaining your infrastructure, configuring dev/test and production environments, and deploying applications across environments – which can be both time consuming and error prone. But what if you could automate provisioning and deployment to deliver error free environments faster? What could you do with your free time?

Up until last year, enterprises that were looking into cloud services usually undertook a long-term pilot with one of the large cloud providers, running test and dev workloads in the cloud. With cloud's transition to mainstream adoption in 2015, and with enterprises migrating more and more workloads into the cloud and in between public and private environments, the single-provider approach must be revisited.

4.0 stars 13 totalReview Adam Frank
Posted by Sergiy
Hi, If you are here, you are most likely looking for a good lawyer who will bring you to your destination – your permanent residence status. Several years ago, I was one of you, sitting in front of the computer, spending days and nights looking for answers on an important question: How do I get a green card? Time flies, and this year, I became a U.S. citizen, got my U.S. passport, celebrated this event with my family, and recalled how it was back in 2008. I also sent a Thank You letter to my lawyer, Adam Frank, who did a fantastic job helping me get my green card and finally to become an American.
Here is my story.
In 2008, I arrived in the United States from one of post-Soviet countries as a postdoc with a J-1 visa. I immediately realized that I couldn't make big plans for my future in this country with a J-1 visa, so I started looking for a good lawyer.
Initially, I was recommended to a paralegal whom I met with, but he really scared me and made me believe that it was almost impossible to get a green card in my case. He also wanted to talk with my employer, which seemed very strange, so I declined further cooperation.... I was not surprised when I discovered that he knew my employer very well, and my employer wanted to keep me on the visa as long as he could. Both of them were playing games with me.
I then found a Russian-speaking lawyer who requested... 25 letters of recommendation, including some from Nobel Prize winners or their co-workers! He also requested I pay the entire fee in advance at the time of signing the contract. I wasn't encouraged to work with this guy either.
Finally, one of my friends recommended Adam Frank, a Maryland lawyer who helped her and her friend receive green cards without any problems. She also explained to me that in her case, everything worked out perfectly through the Internet (we lived in the Southwest at that time), and there was no need to meet him in person. I sent him my CV, and he answered with a clear roadmap for what to do next. It was a very professional plan with reasonable financial conditions. Several months later, I sent the documents that he had requested, and we submitted my application. Four weeks after that, I received an approval. It was like magic. After helping me, Adam and his colleagues helped get green cards for several of my friends, including a man whose application was initially declined by USCIS.
There are 3 unique things about Adam Frank that I have learned from my experience and from the experiences of my friends and colleagues whom I referred to him:
1. Upon reviewing your CV, he can clearly say if a green card is approvable or not. If he says "yes" then there is a 99% chance you will get approved; or if not, he will tell you what needs to be fixed. This is golden.
2. He can represent your accomplishments in the most efficient way. In my case, he used all my achievements from my home country to get both EB1 and EB2 approved! My friend received a green card having published a few PubMed publications. It is an art!
3. The third is financial immaculacy. AF doesn't try to scam you out of money – he just does his job, which requires reasonable payment. This is unique for a lawyer.
My visa status has changed my life, and my professional career is advancing. I would like to use this opportunity to express my deep gratitude to Adam Frank and his team for the excellent work they did for me.
Good luck everyone! I hope in 8-10 years, when you receive your blue passport, you will recall this review and send a Thank You letter to Adam Frank.

I am a researcher at a US university. Attorney Adam Frank represented us to file immigration forms and we now have our green cards in hands, for my familly members and myself. Given the fact that there has been a huge backlog at the goverment immigration offices, Attorney Frank had guided us effectively through several steps to achieve our goal in a reasonable time. He responded to my emails quickly and provided us information regarding our cases timely. He is a professional, knowledgeable and experienced lawyer.

Adam helped me with getting my wife a Green Card. Adam and his team were very supportive and helpful throughout the process. Our case had a few complications, and Adam was always available to chat with me, and email me about the various paths that we could take. He also assisted with all the paperwork and filing requirements. I would recommend him without hesitation.

I have recently received my Permanent Residency, a moment that will have wonderful effects on my professional and personal life. Adam and his office staff played a central role in this process. I would like to sum-up my highly positive engagement with them via 3 main points:
1) Honesty -- unlike other attorneys who charge hundreds of dollars for a preliminary meeting, Adam does not. He first wanted to learn as much as he could about my story to see if he could help. To me, it was a sign of an attorney that is first and foremost customer-focused as opposed to money-focused. Down the road, as the process progressed, Adam has always had answers to all my concerns.
2) Professionalism -- the process went smoothly, with no delays. Everything was explained to me in a percise manner. Whoever took care of my case, whether Adam or one of his paralegals, was always on the top of things. After 14 months I had my Permanat Residency in hand.
3) Personal Care -- my emails were always replied on time. Whenever I asked to speak or meet with Adam to clarify things that I didn't understand he was available for me. In such a long and meticilious process you want to know that your attorney is there for you. Adam and his paralegals were there for me 100%!
Warm recommendation.

Attorney Frank and his team team did a remarkable job throughout the whole process in getting me through to getting my approved for a National Interest waiver Immigrant Visa. Starting from the initial consultation and putting together the documents package and ending with filing for the 1-140. Over a period of 5 years from first contact with your team you remained resolute in your support and professionalism. The only times I was a little disappointed was when you had the paralegals working on my package especially with the frequency with which they changed hands. Otherwise your handling of our case was astute and thorough. I wish you had provided me information about the eligibility of the children under 21 years to be granted the visa if successful because that would have pushed my pursuit of this waiver in a timely manner. Your level of expertise is admirable. We also appreciate your extreme patience in communication with us, answering our numerous questions and responding to our multiple concerns. Mr. Frank was truly happy for me upon receipt of the approval and has continued to respond to other queries posed in regards to the transition. I would highly recommend anyone who needs legal help with permanent residence and naturalization application, among all other immigration needs.

Attorney Frank is prompt, professional, knowledgeable, experienced, and personable - My case is rather complicated. I have been in contact with Attorney Frank for five years with all my questions and doubts before I finally decided to retain him to represent me for my immigration case. Without knowing me personally, Attorney Frank has diligently answered all my questions for five years without any charge. He always answers all the questions in a timely manner. He is very patient and thorough, and took the time to research certain topics so that he could provide the most accurate answers. He explained all the possible outcomes and what to do the next if each of them were to occur. When everything is clear to me, he left the final decision to me, including whether to retain him or not. I feel very lucky to find Attorney Frank to represent my immigration case. Throughout the process, he always made the situation clear to me. He gave valuable advice but was never pushy, left the decision to me. His fee is straightforward and very reasonable. My case was a complete success. He was truly happy for me. I would highly recommend anyone who needs legal help with permanent residence and naturalization application, among all other immigration needs.

1. Similar to another reviewer, your application is at the hand of a paralegal. Paralegal or the lawyer, if the quality of the work is satisfying, it doesn't matter. However, when I had the memo for I-140 written by a paralegal, I couldn't believe that was written by somebody who got law school education. It lacked any logical sequence and exactly same paragraph was copied and pasted from one place to the other. I had to edit most part of it, which is not what you expect, paying high legal fee.
2. Realizing their quality, I wanted to change to another lawyer. Their payment system prevents it, however. They set up the second legal fee shortly before I-140 application then the third legal fee upon the approval of I-140. In this way, one should go on with them until the end. Be aware of this system before signing and compare with other lawyers.
3. The worst is their reliability and timeliness, on which the immigration issue is highly dependent. They answered an e-mail but no action later and didn't even reply back to the repeated request for months. Then, I heard their unapologetic comment, "you should have asked to us again,,,,,".

I hired Mr. Frank about 4 years ago for an extraordinary ability case since I am involved in research. He was recommended by many friends of mine that had positive results with him. Although at the end we went a different route, he has always been supportive, realistic and in constant communication throughout my case. I will definitely recommend Mr. Frank (as I had done before) for your immigration matter.
Posted by a Immigration client
I worked with Mr. Frank and was very happy. Immigrants like me, are always in a need for fast response and many times I had to remind Mr. Frank and his team regarding my time line. However, they have never missed a due date in any of my cases. To be more relaxed, I would recommend to keep asking every few weeks if the office have all your papers ready (ask them to spend couple minutes to verify it, I had few cases that we found out, a day or two before due-date, that we are missing a document).
Posted by a Immigration client
1) Be prepared that the only time you'll be able to interact with Mr. Frank is before you sign a contract. After that you'll only be able to talk to "paralegals" who are no more than just receptionists who have no clue about immigration law;
2) .About "keeping me informed". Do not expect them to keep you informed of anything or remind you of any deadlines. It's totally your responsibility to know all the peculiarities of immigration law, when and what to file. But what the bleep are immigration lawyers are for in this case?
3) Do not expect them to do anything. They promise to review your personal statement, support letters etc. I have not seen any of that. It's like a black hole: it sucks everything you throw at it with no feedback whatsoever.
To summarize: it's probably useful only if the only thing you need is attorney's signature on the case that you've prepared on your own, Otherwise, if you need some real help, try to find someone else.

Coal Harbour is the name for a section of Burrard Inlet lying between Vancouver, Canada's downtown peninsula and the Brockton Peninsula of Stanley Park. It has also now become the name of the neighbourhood adjacent to its southern shoreline, which was redeveloped as an upscale high-rise condominium district in the 1990s.
The harbour is bounded by the Financial District to the south and Stanley Park to the north. To the east is Deadman's Island, the site of the naval station and museum HMCS Discovery, where the harbour opens up to the Burrard Inlet. The discovery of coal in the harbour in 1862 inspired the name. Within the harbour is a floating gas station for marine vessels.
Coal Harbour is home to Vancouver Harbour Water Aerodrome, located a few blocks from Canada Place. The name Coal Harbour is also used to designate a relatively new official neighbourhood of the City of Vancouver. The neighbourhood is bounded to the southeast by Burrard Street, to the southwest by West Georgia and Pender Streets, and to the northwest by Stanley Park. The northwestern section features parkland, private marinas, several rowing and boating clubs and a community centre designed by architect Gregory Henriquez. Towards the Financial District in the southeast, and across Georgia Street, the neighbourhood is dominated by high-rise office and apartment buildings. Much of the area between Hastings Street and Georgia Street is part of the city's business district and in the days when it was an upper-class residential district West Pender Street was known as Blueblood Alley because of the many large mansions along it. The six floating homes in Coal Harbour, along with the twelve in False Creek are the only legal floating homes in the city of Vancouver. Wikipedia-
