Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Stock trading highs more primal than managed
IN the aftermath of the 2008 stock-market collapse, it's no surprise that the bipolar behaviour of the financial markets should come under clinical observation.
The latest offering of Cambridge University mathematician John Coates puts Wall Street traders and the marketplace on a figurative analyst's couch -- to discover the cause of the highs and lows that so affect pension portfolios and stock prices.
Though it has the potential to be dry as dust, The Hour Between Dog and Wolf is actually an entertaining read. Coates dumbs down the science of his study so that it is easily accessible to the average reader.
Coates has the pedigree to watch over the wolves of Wall Street. His Cambridge work includes cognitive and behavioural neuroscience in the Judge Business School. He's written on traders and bankers of financial institutions before, in books that linked naturally occurring steroid levels to risk-taking and finger length to success levels.
He borrows his title from French author Jean Genet's final work, Prisoner of Love. The phrase puts to words the fear many have as night takes over, when dog and wolf appear no different, so both are to be feared.
Coates and his fellow scientists essentially open a trading desk on Wall Street and also monitor endocrine and the nervous systems of traders in London. Coates's hypothesis is that the extreme highs and lows of the markets may be driven by actual physiological changes impacting the trader, changes that cause the trader's risk preference to swing.
Of absolutely no comfort to the small investor is the fact that these changes and swings appear to be automatic rather than managed.
He aptly describes the nature of a typical trading floor, which is usually marked by long periods of relative inactivity followed by brief surges -- not unlike a war, he says. That swing between boredom and fear instantly activates the safety circuitry that has brought us to the top of the food chain -- flight or fight.
Coates explains how the beginning of a shift in the marketplace is felt by traders in the ceruleus, a region deep within the brain. The ceruleus "feels" a change or threat long before it emerges, whether in a car park, a football field or on the trading floor.
That realization of risk places the brain on high alert, so that our senses become hyper aware. Coates refers to athletes on a playing field who say they become so aware, so alert, that it seems as if they can pick out every voice in the stadium or every blade of grass.
Coates provides a play-by-play of the response to threat or opportunity on the trading floor, where the trader seems more like a hunter with spear in hand than a young man dressed in a suit sitting at a computer.
He gives a gripping account of all the switches that turn adrenaline flow from drip to torrent as the trader senses a market shift.
The downside of this book is the feeling of poor control it leaves the hapless small-time investor. You're not just fighting big institutional investors, you're up against a sharply dressed trader who's flashing back to his ancestor's days in a cave.
Jackie Shymanski is director of communications and public affairs at CancerCare Manitoba.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- There has been some recent tension between some members of the South Bend Common Council.
The situation was compared to the turbulence that occasionally comes with air travel.
Council President Oliver Davis pledged Tuesday that the body would still arrive at its intended destination on time, in terms of producing a balanced budget for 2015, along with new collective bargaining agreements for police and firefighters.
"We come from six different districts with three at large people who have different views, from all different sides of the issue," Davis said.
Last week the rules committee considered doling out discipline to Councilman Henry Davis Jr. for a controversial Facebook post.
After the heated meeting, another councilman filed a police report, alleging intimidation on the part of councilman Davis' father.

Executive Summary
The paper proposed new methods for ordering the Web pages returned from search engines. Given a few search keywords, nowadays most search engines could retrieve more than a few thousand Web pages. The problem is how to order the retrieved Web pages and then to present the most relevant Web pages first. The authors propose new factors to allow relevant Web pages to be ranked higher. The factors include keyword popularity, keyword to Web page popularity, and Web page popularity. The keyword to Web page popularity records which Web pages have been selected corresponding to the search keywords.

Home sales in Virginia fell 24.4% in September from the same month a year ago.
According to numbers from the Virginia Association of Realtors, that was the biggest percentage drop all year. But the median price for a home in Virginia, with half selling for more and half for less rose 5.5% to $229,000.
All but one of 24 areas in Virginia showed a decline in sales. Southwest Virginia was the only area showing a gain in the number of sales, up 2.5%, although not many houses are sold there.
Northern Virginia, the highest priced area, saw sales slide 30.7% in September from the same month a year ago. In the Hampton Roads area, sales fell 21.6% in September from a year ago.
Melanie Thompson of Fredericksburg, the president of the Virginia Realtors group, said it's misleading to compare this year's more normal market with the historic highs of the past three years.

The B & B Wildwood 10 with Marquee Suites in Wildwood, Missouri opened on October 1, 2010, according to an article in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:
In the midst of a recession and in the age of streaming media, a Missouri family is betting on the next generation of movie theatres at the unveiling of the Wildwood 10 cinemas tonight in west St. Louis County. Operated by B & B Theatres of Salisbury, Mo., the art-deco multiplex features a 56-foot wide screen in its largest theater and two resticted-entry suites for patrons over 21.
Along with the locally owned Granite City Cinemas, it is the second multiplex to open in metro St. Louis in less than two months.
Bobbie Bagby, director of marketing for B&B, describes the Wildwood location as the flagship theater for the company, which was started by her grandfather in 1924 and operates 204 screens in four states: Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Florida. Most of B&B's theaters are traditional operations in small towns, such as Dodge City, Kan., Miami, Okla., and Hannibal, Mo. But Bagby says that the Wildwood venue reflects fundamental changes in movie-theater operations.

'Lucky' punter who scooped £650,000 betting online sues British-based gaming site which refused to pay out because of bug in its software
- Bruno Venturi, 41, won £650,000 off £18 stake in just three hours
- Surrey-based site insists a software bug meant chance had nothing to do with the Italian's winnings
- High Court judge said case reminded him of the 1935 film, 'The Man who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo'
Lost fight: Bruno Venturi was told today he cannot claim his £650,000 online gambling winnings because he had not paid for all his bets
A gambler dubbed 'The Man Who Couldn't Lose' after winning £650,000 in just three hours of online gaming is facing a High Court bid to strip him of his jackpot.
Bruno Venturi, 41, was left 'euphoric' after turning the €20 in his account into a whopping €707,000 - then worth roughly £650,000 - whilst playing Eurobet.com's 'Sixty Seconds' game in 2009.
But Surrey-based Eurobet UK Ltd, which operated the website, insists a software bug meant chance had nothing to do with it.
As he was mistakenly charged for only one in six of his bets, his winnings are null and void, the company claims.
Eurobet refused to pay up, sparking a legal battle - which Judge Simon Brown QC said reminded him of the 1935 film, 'The Man who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo'.
The film, inspired by a British music hall song based on the story of Charles Deville Wells, is a romantic comedy which tells the story of a former Russian aristocrat who wins 10million francs playing baccarat at a casino.
The casino sends a beautiful woman to lure him back to the gambing tables and he is eventually left penniless.
Pet shop worker, Mr Venturi - who had won only meager sums in his previous two years using the website - says he logged on from his home in Naples, Italy, on January 28, 2009, completely unaware of what was about to unfold.
The company claims an error caused by a software upgrade meant Mr Venturi was charged for only one in six of the 6,670 wagers he placed, dramatically increasing his chances of winning the lottery-style game, which has since been removed from the internet.
Patrick Lawrence QC, for Eurobet, said the bug meant it was 'mathematically inevitable' that Mr Venturi would keep hitting the jackpot.
The court heard the Italian started playing at 8.18pm, placing his usual 20 cent bet, but began increasing the stakes as his apparent luck continued.
He had won 5,000 Euros by 9pm, and racked up winnings of 200,000 Euros by 10.10pm, as he frantically placed as many multiple wagers as the website would allow.
Speaking through an interpreter, Mr Venturi told the court: 'I had always lost previously...but when I started to win I had a very good feeling. I'm a player and my instincts told me to keep betting.'
Mr Venturi played the 60 Seconds game for three-and-a-half hours and was amazed that he kept winning - but the court heard his 'wins' were inevitable
Comparison: High Court judge Simon Brown QC said case reminded him of the 1935 film The Man who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo, starring Ronald Colman
The 'original' man who broke the bank at Monte Carlo was Charles Deville Wells (1841–1922).
His exploits were celebrated in the popular British music hall song of the same name, written in 1892 by Fred Gilbert.
French, if a gambler wins more chips than are available at a table,
they are said to have 'faire sauter la banque', which literally means to
'blow up the bank' but is usually translated as 'breaking the bank'.
On the event all the chips were won a black shroud was placed over the table until replacement chips were brought in.
July 1891 Wells went to Monte Carlo with £4,000 that he had defrauded
from investors with his bogus invention of a 'musical jump rope'.
In an eleven-hour session Wells won a million francs as he 'broke the bank' twelve times.
At one stage he won 23 times out of 30 successive spins of the roulette wheel. Wells returned to Monte Carlo in November of that year and won again.
During this session
he made another million francs in three days, including successful bets
on the roulette coming up on the number five for five consecutive turns.
Wells used a risky 'martingale system', where the gambler doubles his bet after every loss, so a win recovers all previous losses plus win a profit equal to the original stake, and he admitted his success was just a lucky streak.
The song helped Wells to become a celebrity. But he died penniless after losing all his money on failed inventions, having also defrauded his investors.
Mr Lawrence challenged him, saying he must have realised that something was wrong, but Mr Venturi insisted: 'How could I realise there was an error?
'There was no message, I was just drawing, I didn't have a clue....I thought I was very lucky.'
Italian, who disputes that any error took place, stopped playing
shortly before midnight, having amassed a colossal 707,665 euros in 217
heady minutes.
When asked why he called it a day, Mr Venturi replied: 'I realised the amount that I was winning and I realised that I had to stop. I had been lucky enough...I am only human. I was taken by the emotions and there was a lot of euphoria.'
He added: 'I've never had so much money...It's a very big win; it's not something that happens every day.'
Mr Venturi, who offered to come to England to pick up his winnings in cash, said an operator told him 'this is incredible, but it does happen' as he transferred some of his winnings to a different online account.
The company, based in Woking, is refusing to pay Mr Venturi, saying the bets breached the website's terms and conditions, and his winnings amounted to 'unjust enrichment'.
Refuting those claims, Mr Venturi's barrister, John McLinden QC, said: 'Mr Venturi denies any software error as alleged by the defendant.
'The defendant has failed to establish that Mr Venturi broke any rules of the game whilst playing and obtaining the winnings.'
He added: 'Mr Venturi performed his part of the game by completing various steps and screens presented to him by the defendant on the website, and paid for his bets on the game from the funds in his account.
'He did everything that was required of him to pay for the bets.
'If his account was not charged at any time for the repeat bets, which is not admitted, that omission was due to the defendant's failure to completely perform its obligations to him, and to comply with its regulatory requirements.'
The hearing, taking place at the Royal Courts of Justice, continues.
Surrey-based Eurobet UK Ltd, which operated the Italian website, have been told today they don't have to pay out because the software bug helped Mr Venturi win

Just how bad are "best practices" when it comes to the streets and sidewalks of our cities?
When it comes to city streets it is truly weird what we seem to be placidly willing to accept as "normal".
When it comes to city streets it is truly weird what we seem to be placidly willing to accept as "normal".
What were the main barriers that had to be overcome in initially adopting Sweden's Vision Zero strategy?
Matts-Åke Belin, Swedish traffic safety strategist: I would say that the main problems that we had in the beginning were not really political, they were more on the expert side. The largest resistance we got to the idea about Vision Zero was from those political economists that have built their whole career on cost-benefit analysis. For them it is very difficult to buy into "zero." Because in their economic models, you have costs and benefits, and although they might not say it explicitly, the idea is that there is an optimum number of fatalities. A price that you have to pay for transport.
The problem is the whole transport sector is quite influenced by the whole utilitarianist mindset. Now we're bringing in the idea that it's not acceptable to be killed or seriously injured when you're transporting. It's more a civil-rights thing that you bring into the policy.
The other group that had trouble with Vision Zero was our friends, our expert friends. Because most of the people in the safety community had invested in the idea that safety work is about changing human behavior. Vision Zero says instead that people make mistakes, they have a certain tolerance for external violence, let's create a system for the humans instead of trying to adjust the humans to the system.
Why is it that virtually every major transport project built in the last decades in just about any part of the world has cost a great deal more than the original engagement, and served far fewer people than originally forecast? And since this pattern repeats itself time and again, and since in the process the one who ends up holding the bag every time is the hard-working and apparently infinitely gullible taxpayer, it is possible to come to a conclusion. And that has to be that, up to now at least, we are terminally stupid, we fall for the same old trick every time. Why is that, and what are its implications for the quality of mobility services in your city and metro area? We invited Dr. Colin Black who is currently working to get a handle on these issues from an overall European perspective to share his thoughts with us.
Question: How fast will car drivers speed on any given stretch of road or street, in or out of the city?
Answer: As fast as they can.
Qualification: And if that is not true for every driver on the road (for example you or maybe me), it is true for enough of them such that if road safety is the goal, then this brutal, uncompromising reality must be taken into serious consideration.
Question 2: Now if this is indeed the case (and it most definitely is!) what if anything can we do about it?
Continue reading
When one considers how things have gone in the last decades or thereabouts, it is not easy to believe in the survival of civilization.
I do not argue from this that the only thing to do is to adjure practical politics, retire to some remote place and concentrate either on individual salvation or on building up self-supporting communities against the day when the atom bombs have done their work. I think one must continue the political struggle, just as a doctor must try to save the life of a patient who is probably going to die.
But I do suggest that we shall get nowhere unless we start by recognizing that political behaviour is largely non-rational, that the world is suffering from some kind of mental disease which must be diagnosed before it can be cured.
Exernomics is a concatenation of two words, economics and exergy. Economics is a discipline, with scientific aspirations, concerned with the production, distribution and consumption of goods and services in human society. It is also concerned with markets, trade and prices. It has been called "the dismal science" (by Thomas Carlyle), because of the Malthusian argument (c. 1799) that human population will always grow faster than food supply, whence the future of mankind was destined to be constrained by poverty and starvation. That didn't happen during the following two centuries. So, in recent years Malthus has become an object of derision by mainstream economists, who have adopted a contrary doctrine of perpetual growth driven by unending innovation and substitution.
But the mainstream has ignored the fact that one resource has no substitute. It is "useful energy" or – in techno-speak – exergy.
World Streets reports: "Cyclists received around €12, while pedestrians gained €11. Calculations carried out by the Norwegian Directorate of Health shows that active transport provides the state with a saving of 52 NOK (€6) per kilometer for pedestrians and 26 NOK (€3) per kilometer for cyclists. An average bike trip in Norway is 4 kilometers, providing a health benefit of 100 NOK (€12), while an average walking trip is 1.7 km, worth almost 90 NOK (€11)." Continue reading

Also on PS Vita, Need for Speed: Most Wanted is the 19th release in the long-running Need for Speed franchise, and the first for the PlayStation Vita. It hearkens back to the earliest games in the series as players compete in races with police unified against them. Enjoy this week's The Drop.

But it never had a permanent location until now.

GUELPH — Bring on the Erie Otters.
The Guelph Storm is heading to the Western Conference final for the first time since 2006 after eliminating the London Knights with a thrilling 5-4 win Friday at a sold-out Sleeman Centre Friday night.
Guelph takes the best-of-seven series 4-1.
"Wow. What a game and what a series," said Storm coach Scott Walker.
"I don't think 4-1 is indicative of how close that series was and what a hard-fought battle that was for the guys. It was real fun and real exciting. This is a lot of fun right now."
Did he think the series would only go five games?
"I don't know. I'm just happy it did and happy it's over," Walker said.
The Knights will now have five weeks off before playing host to the 2014 Memorial Cup.
The Storm and Otters will meet for the first time in a playoff series in 15 years. They last met in the post season at the 2002 Memorial Cup.
Game 1 is Thursday in Guelph with Game 2 the following night.
"This has been five years of work and it feels even better beating the London Knights because they're the league champions the last couple of years," said Storm overager Zack Mitchell, who had never won a round of the playoffs in five years with the Storm until this season.
Scott Kosmachuk's goal at 16:24 of the second period stood up as the game winner as the puck somehow slipped through the skates of London netminder Jake Patterson from a very sharp angle.
The Storm then threw a wet blanket on the Knights in a scoreless third period, even surviving the emotional letdown of having an apparent goal waived off after review.
Guelph played a brilliant defensive third period.
"We played really well defensively in that third period," said Ryan Horvat. "We were all together and talking to one another and collapsing in the middle. We came together as a team.
"We did what we had to do. You don't want to tense up too much or overthink it. You want to make sure you're not sitting back, because that's when goals happen."
Mitchell said if the team wants to go even further in the playoffs, it has to be able to do what it did Friday night in protecting the one-goal lead for the final 20 minutes.
"It's all part of building as a team and you just have to keep getting better at it," Mitchell said.
It looked like it was going to be a shootout at the Sleeman Centre in the early going.
The score was 2-2 after one period then London took its only lead of the game early in the second when Matt Rupert scored on a penalty shot.
But the Storm got a break to tie the game halfway through the third period when Tyler Bertuzzi's centring pass went in off the stick of London's Brett Welychka to tie the game, then Robby Fabbri put Guelph ahead one minute, 17 seconds later on the power play.
Josh Anderson tied it with a London power play goal at 16:17, setting the stage for Kosmachuk's sharp-angled winner.
Game 3 and Game 4 of the Western Conference final will be in Erie on April 21 and 22.

I found the service helpful and informative. Since I am in the information gathering stage, knowing what is available and the various options helps me.
I have had 3 solar companies come out and educate me as to systems and their components. I was reasonably informed before their contacts but now feel quite prepared to make a very informed choice as to which company and equipment to use. I will be making that choice soon which will begin our solar ownership.

She's a well known "mommy hater". A simple google search on her will dredge up all the proof you need! (Oh, I have my proof, already), mainly an evaluation report that was twisted, and full of inconsistencies. You can actually see the inconsistencies SHE WROTE if you could read it!
Judge Patrick McCabe (Louisiana, Div. F, Jefferson Parish) did not read this report. He only read the last page.. "recommendation".
I had shown MS. Van Beyer proof of child abuse by my ex... two reports from Child Services that said I had a loving, and fit home for my children, plus requests by BOTH of my children that they live with me! McCabe assigned us to this peice of work! I wonder if these two have something going on the side?
MS. Van Beyer prefers to be called "doctor". I'm still laughing about that one! Yet, as a final spit in her face, I will list this under "doctors". Hopefully, someone will see it before they actually agree to her "evaluation", and the fact that she is NOT a doctor! She's a social worker!
My son told her that he did not want to live with his father, because he was in fear of his life!
Her response was "he seems too timid and shy"!!
The *&*& ignored *everything* my kids said, and, because she worked on 'sliding scale fees', went with my ex, who paid more $$$ to her, AND also, too late, I found out she was active in "Louisiana Dads" which basically would give custody to a friggin criminal, if he wanted it.
Her main bag is being an advocate for Latinos. Gee, I suppose if I was a latino, I would have had a better chance with her?
She's a racist, sexist pig!
Karen Van Beyer.. it's too late for you and me to dance, but you will burn in hell. I've posted this info to every blog I can find, and, not so amazingly, found MORE of your victims! It seems you get around!
Google her if you don't believe me... You'll find positive things of course, but if you dig a bit deeper....
Why is it that PROFESSIONALS will put their need of money above people's lives? Has "business as usual" really become this cold?
"just let me get through this, so I can get my money, and make my car payment". OMG!!!!!
If this makes no sense to you, I am extremely emotional. I hope she dies a slow, painful death!
I will answer any questions that may help you understand. But, If you find the proper links on Google, you'll know!
Can I post links here? If so, I will, and save interested parties the trouble of Googling. The most effective way of finding out the truth is through "cached" links, since most of the forums have been revamped. Oh yes, they contain IP numbers. They are most definitely written by different people.

I have a doctorate degree. Although, I suppose that entitles may name to be prefaced with that title, I am not an asshole, and so do not insist on being called Doctor. Neither where I work nor my educational level makes me credible. I am who I am, my heart and honesty make me credible. I do not need to put people in their place because I am comfortable in the place I am in. Using power and control to lord over other people's lives is not a credible thing to do.

I feel your pain. I had the same thing happen to me. This woman was completely aware that my ex- husband's fiance beat my son in the face and that my daughter was almost killed in a motor scooter accident. She excused all of this and said that I was mentally ill because of a conspiracy in New Orleans and needed psychiatric treatment for it. The woman is nuts. If in fact, there was a conspiracy, pills was not going to fix the problem. Moving was going to fix the problem. Therefore, that should have been her recommendation. She handed custody over to my ex- husband, knowing this and did not recommend a move. She knew that my attorney, Robert C. Lowe, ignored everything that was going on that my ex- husband was doing that he was not supposed to be doing with my children. She excused his do-nothing behavior because she's a jerk. She also said that my ex- husband was successful in his career endeavor but made it sound like I never accomplished anything. I resigned from gainful employment, and had been home raising the children for 8 years, and this woman allowed my ex- husband to piss on me. She also stated in her report, or indicated in her report, that I married my ex- husband because my parents didn't believe in a college education, but his family did. What a lie. She was going to give my ex-husband whatever he wanted, and on a silver platter, and she did. Also, I didn't want her. Judge Conn Regan threatened to throw me in jail if I didn't complete the custody evaluation with this con artist, knowing what the outcome would be. I honestly think that the judges are behind this, Gina. I'm so sorry and I feel your anger and the injustice that you've been through. I've since moved to another state and have left this awful situation.

SUBMITTED: Thursday, January 06, 2011POSTED: Thursday, January 06, 2011
Apparently this woman hasn't changed and how she manages to keep her license is beyond me. I am also a victim of her incomplete, error filled, and man biased reports.Do not let her fool you in the interview process. I thought she had "changed" as she made several derogatory comments about my husband to me and our child being in a dysfunctional and immoral environment while with him and she brought up several of his character flaws. She also stated this to the other parties she interviewed for my case.She stated to me and the other parties that she did not feel our child should be with him and we should be able to live a life "free of him for our safety".
Guess what? none of it made it into her report. What DID make it into her report was how great my husband is and how much our child loves him and she also said that our child (who is under 5 years old) is daddy's son. She spent an hour with our child so how could she possibly have determined this in an hour with a child whose speech and communications aren't even fully developed. She recommended and obscene amount of visitation for a child this age, to the point that there would be no way I could keep my current job because all I would be doing was facilitating visitations.
For the sake of your children DO NOT use this persons services. She does child custody work and practices in a very unprofessional fashion. She is inattentive does not fully follow the American Psychological Association guidelines for child custody examinations. She submitted a report to the court with multiple mispelled words, incorrect dates, and gramatical errors. She did not complete her interviews with all parties before making her initial determination, the report she submitted for use in court contained extremely inaccurate information and dates.
Bottom line is this woman hasn't changed. If you agree to her do everything in your power as a mother to get another evaluator assigned. It will cost you, but your children's futures cannot be trusted at the hands of this woman. She will show total disregard to your rights as a woman and a mother to your children. Also, if you get her and this happens to you
So if you are a mom, reading this you may ask "what do I do?" This is mysuggestionof some ways that may help to "fix" this before it's done
Before you could request another evaluator (for cost reasons) through Family Services. Her fees apparently used to be extremely high even though she is still not cheap $1,600. In the past you could pray to the courts that you couldn't afford her high fees and apparently she wised up because she lost a lot of evals on this. She is now about the same if not less than Family Services. If you find an evaluator that is less expensive, you can still go this route.
I was fortunate to find a loophole on her, but only after giving her my money, to get another evaluator and had to pay twice but to be honest, it is your child's future and there is no price you can put on this in my opinion. Beg borrow and steal if you have to, to afford another evaluation with someone other than her.
While writing on here and the other sites helps other moms, the people who have been effected by her malpractice needs to take swift and firm action, otherwise she will continue to harm innocent children.
File a complaint with the Louisiana Board of Social Examiners!!!
You heard me right, she's a SOCIAL WORKER! Her PhD is in Social Work, NOT PSYCHOLOGY and not CHILD PSYCHOLOGY!! She does asked to be called "doctor" and no offense but it doesn't take much to get an LSCW or a PhD in sociology. Some judges think she's a nut but some judges regards her. Talk to your attorney but your attorney has already done you an injustice if they suggest you agree to this woman and you are a woman. Every woman's organization in the city will tell you freely she's the worst of the worst!

I *never* said I didn't pay rent. EVER. I do pay to live here. I use their electricity! I use their phone line! Although I use a calling card, and don't run up their phone bill, they are kind enough to let me use it after hours, for my $9.95 internet that you seem obsessed with.
CapOne had to have frozen the account. It's the only CC I had.
Van Beyer is NOT a doctor! She's a social worker! There is a HUGE difference, Norris. I'm sure you're not that ignorant.
My ex and I were given a list of six evaluators, and we could not agree on one. Judge McCabe then assigned us to Van Beyer, who wasn't even on the original list! She worked on a sliding scale, and had an associate perform the evaluation. Three weeks later, I called the associate to find out what happened to the evaluation. My kids were sweating bullets. So was I!!! The associate said "Van Beyer is reworking it". Reworking? What the heck does that mean? She spoke to us on the first visit, and that was it!
She's a fraud, plain and simple.
Norris, please go away. If your only goal in life is to make me angry, it's got to stop. Write to Van Beyer! You want both sides of the story? Do that, and stop following me around.

When I read a change in the story from one response to the next I tend to discard the information as being less than truthful, much less factual.
If you write rip off reports, at least be factual, present them objectively, and don't cloak it in I need sympathy. By doing this you won't have to respond to errors in your report,i.e., you don't actually know who froze your checking account, you aren't, then you are, paying rent on a parking space,and last but not least, in this posting you give the strong impression Doctor Van Beyer has recently submitted paperwork unfavorable to you, see "OMG let me get thru this, so I can get my money and make a car payment". Now you say your beef with her was years ago,and the list of inconsistencies goes on.

Just because
SUBMITTED: Friday, December 15, 2006POSTED: Friday, December 15, 2006
I posted about Van Beyer because I will never forgive her for the emotional trauma she caused me and my children. Yes, her academic peers think highly of her, however, you probably did not go to page two or three of that Google search, to see what's been posted on other sites. It also took me this long because I didn't know about this website!
Lots of families are dysfunctional, in a way. Ask anyone about *any* family member, and they will come up with a story. We can't all live in "Father Knows Best" land. We all have a skeleton or two in our closet. Certainly you might. Especially the way you're following me around this site.
Norris, please go pick on someone else. I don't want to discuss my family life with you. And I'm not really complaining "years later". I have complained to the director of her department at Tulane, to no avail. And lest you think this woman, who *calls* herself an expert is automatically above all fault, I worked with a woman through Louisiana Spirit with the exact same credentials, who helped me after the hurricane. I showed her all my paperwork on this woman, and she said "You know, we're not ALL bad". And this woman was a Godsend to me.
I won't complain about her. Her name is Kye Jackson, (and you can google her, too). She's an angel, and certainly no ripoff. I believe she works for the D.A. now, While Van Beyer is still taking kids away from their mothers.

Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

You don't want to go there.

You, and others may have a problem with my posts regarding CapOne, but there is no doubt about my issues with this social worker, or my attorney.
I do pay rent where I live. Oh yes, I do! Nobody gets a free ride, myself included.
Everything that happened with this woman is a matter of public record. She's a psycho! She was a member of Louisiana Dads for G-d's sake! Did you google her, as I suggested?
OMG! You may have tried to rip my CapOne situation apart, but I joined this site just to post about VAN BEYER and my former attorney! You won't be able to rip me apart for these!
This *&*& *&*& me over, big time. And having an attorney with no backbone, sealed my fate, and the fate of my son. (My daughter was upset for awhile, and I'm expecting her visit this weekend). Yes, they relocated. BOTH of them.
*&* are you on about now? CapOne is one thing, but don't even try to take me to task on my kids!
