SF BART police launch probe of response to naked man's attack
The nude acrobat assaulted several commuters before police arrived on the scene
The SF Examiner
SAN FRANCISCO — BART Police Chief Kenton Rainey said Wednesday that he has ordered an internal review of how his department responded to an incident at a San Francisco station last month in which a man stripped naked and harassed people.
"If there were any procedural failings we will correct them, and if there were performance issues with our officers we will address them," Rainey said.
Yeiner Perez Garizabalo, 24, a trained acrobat, is charged with two felony counts of false imprisonment, four misdemeanor counts of battery on public transportation and one misdemeanor count of sexual battery for the May 10 incident. Rainey didn't specify what about the BART police response to the incident troubled him. He declined to say if his agency had filed an arrest report but said that will be one of the issues the internal probe will explore.

While you may think a divorce insurance policy is ridiculous, you might find that many of the 44% of families that go below the poverty line as a result of divorce (Julia A. Heath and B. F. Kiker, "Determinants of Spells of Poverty Following Divorce" Review of Social Economy, 50) here in America would disagree. I'm going to take a wild guess and say that you've likely never been through the financial disaster that so often occurs with divorce or you'd already know that on average people lose 77% of their net worth as a result of divorce (Jay Zagorsky, National Longitudinal Survey of Youth study findings, Journal of Sociology, Ohio State's Center for Human Resource Research). And unfortunately, women are hit the hardest. In fact, absent remarriage, the typical divorced woman can expect her standard of living to stay near the poverty level for an extended period, and this drop cannot be explained by selection effects (causes) into divorce (Pamela J. Smock, Wendy D. Manning, and Sanjiv Gupta, "The Effect of Marriage and Divorce on Women's Economic Well-Being" American Sociological Review, 64). And many never recover. About one-fifth of women who apply for welfare benefits for the first time do so because of divorce or separation and about one in four mothers who were first propelled onto welfare by divorce are still welfare-dependent five years later. (Johanne Boisjoly, Kathleen Mullan Harris, and Greg J. Duncan, "Trends, Events, and Duration of Initial Welfare Spells" Social Service Review).
Tell them divorce insurance is a bad idea.
In addition, while it's clear that you dislike insurance companies as a whole by the comments you make about the insurance industry's use of algorithms and its spiraling slide of ethics, you might find it surprising that I agree with your point of view. Which is why your readers should be appalled by your lack of even cursory research into our product's development or the management team that makes up our company and the disparaging implications you make regarding our ethics, denials of claims, our use of calculators (none of which were developed by anyone even remotely connected to the insurance industry) and some non-existent "broken-heart portal" you mention without a shred of any fact based evidence.
I'm sure you'll also be surprised to learn that this product was not developed within the insurance industry as some new method to suck money from the wallets of unsuspecting policy holders, in fact, it wasn't developed within the industry at all. It was developed based on my own dreadful experience with divorce long before I started in the insurance industry. And had you taken the time to better understand the product, you'd know that it has no underwriting restrictions so filing a claim consists of sending their court stamped divorce decree along with a copy of their policy. If their policy was in force (meaning paid as agreed) when they divorce, the likelihood of any denial of claim is nil. We don't think that's asking too much and I'm sure the general public will agree that can hardly be described as a "headache".
With regard to our ethics, I'll let history be the judge of that since clearly, you know nothing about me, my team or our motives. However, I think most will agree that if we can keep even one child out of a life of poverty for even one day, all the monetary benefits pale in comparison. If you think our methods to accomplish that goal are unethical, then mea culpa.
And regarding your statement that "It appears you can somewhat bet against your decisions on picking partner for life. This kind of tell(sp) me we have a business here that's up front telling you that you don't have the sense in this world today to find a partner, you think?" We're glad you're such a great judge of character, but if you look closely at all your friends and family, do you really and truly think that every one with a failed relationship is that bad at picking a life partner? And somehow, you're immune? The reality is that circumstances change and people change along with them.
No one can predict the future and the risk of divorce is real and tangible, in fact you're more likely to divorce in the next decade even if you're on your first marriage (1 in 3) than you are to get into a serious car accident (1 in 4) yet few people realize it. We hope you don't but we're here to help you if you do.
The bottom line is that we know WedLock Divorce Insurance isn't for everyone, but I challenge you to better understand our product and our company before you make such uninformed assumptions and lump us into this group of insurance n'er-do-wells that you think the insurance industry is made up of. We'll let the market be our judge.

Technology used to be considered impersonal. You know, the idea of the "robotic mind," no human interaction. But, the reality is technology is actually very personal and becoming more so by the day. Devices are so in sync with their users, they've become the personal secretaries to the masses. This is even more true when talking connected wearables.

+ - Server-driven RIA extensible in Java-> 2
Developers can build rich web applications easily with Java on the server-side, much like creating regular desktop applications with Swing or AWT. There is no need to know anything about HTML, Ajax or JSON working under the hood. Unlike the client-side RIA frameworks, like GWT or Flex, where one needs to implement both server and client, in IT Mill Toolkit you only implement the server application.
While being an extensive framework for RIA development, it is just one JAR that you can drop into any Java Web project and use side-by-side with other frameworks. This is also the only server-side Java toolkit where the extensions to the framework are also created in pure Java. If the (fairly extensive) set of included widgets is not enough, developers can continue coding with Java on the client-side using GWT."

Utah Jazz notebook: Everybody's got a dunking idea for defending champ Jeremy Evans
Kristin Murphy, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — On Thursday, Jeremy Evans received his invitation to defend his 2012 Slam Dunk championship next Saturday.
Before that All-Star Weekend event takes place in Houston, though, Evans knows what he's in for over the next seven days.
"Walk into the arena, somebody may stop me. Out on the street, in the mall," Evans said. "Someone always has an idea."
Some are good thoughts. Some, he added, are "impossible."
Coaches. Teammates. Fans. Sports writers. They have or will chime in.
"There's no telling what can be done, especially if you can jump high," Evans said. "It's just creativity."
Evans smiled at the suggestion that he should double his efforts that won him the 2012 crown with his highlight two-basketball dunk over Gordon Hayward last February in Orlando.
Two teammates. Four basketballs. One amazing dunk.
"I'm not trying to hurt myself," he said. "But we'll see what happens."
That might fall into the "Don't even think about it" category. So might Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin's joke that Evans might leap over a van.
"He should do well. He's practicing hard," Corbin said. "I'm excited about him being in it again to defend his championship."
Corbin did admit to giving Evans one suggestion, but he isn't sure whether the 6-9 forward will use it or not. He doesn't want to spoil the "element of surprise," so the coach didn't tell reporters what slam he drew up, either.
Evans appreciates the support from the Jazz, some of whom razzed him while getting interviewed after Friday morning's shootaround. (Future dunk champ wannabe Alec Burks walked by and belted out, "Yeah, Dunk Champ!" and Derrick Favors strolled by loudly barking.)
"They know the competitors," Evans said of Jazz teammates. "They tell me all the time I need to be practicing and to get on my game."
Evans is even more convinced of that after watching YouTube dunking videos of Eric Bledsoe (Clippers), Kenneth Faried (Nuggets), Gerald Green (Pacers), Terrence Ross (Raptors) and James White (Knicks).
"From the competitors I've seen, it's going to be a good show and I have a lot of competition," he said. "So I've got to bring it."
Guard Randy Foye, who thought he might be invited to the 3-point shooting contest, said Evans has bounced his own ideas off of Jazz players.
"Some of the things that he talked to us about that he wants to do, I think are pretty cool," Foye said, without revealing trade secrets. "I think he has a good chance to win. There's a lot of hype around the other guys, but he's still the defending champ."
Evans said Hayward is returning to Indianapolis, so unless he plans on starting his dunk in the Hoosier State, he might need a new teammate to act as a prop.
Guard Earl Watson is happy for his favorite alley-oop partner. He even called his younger pal's second invitation "amazing." Yet, the point guard took a moment to tease Evans in public.
"I think when he went last year no one gave him a chance. This year it's pretty good competition," Watson said. "Hopefully, he has some creative things up his sleeve. He kind of fired me for Derrick Favors. Derrick Favors is his new dunk agent, so you'll have to ask Derrick (for dunk details)."
It's unclear, however, what Favors meant when he bellowed out, "Woof! Woof! Woof!"
"I told him Derrick has to throw him lobs in the games," Watson joked. "He didn't like that."
Evans is humbled to get a second chance. Darrell Griffith and Blue Edwards are the only other Utah players to be invited in consecutive years.
"Of course, there's always pressure, not only just because you're the champion," Evans said. "You want to win. You compete not against them but against yourself."

A Zero-Day Agnostic Approach to Defending Against Advanced Threats
Eric Hanselman, Chief Analyst, 451 Research & Dave Karp, VP Technical Enablement, Digital Guardian
Mar 26 2015
51 mins
As organizations work hard to ensure complete anti-malware coverage on desktops, servers, and at the perimeter, attackers are already moving on to techniques completely outside those detected by traditional security tools. Enterprises must consider alternative approaches to defending their infrastructure and turn their focus to tools, products and techniques that approach security in new and different ways.
In this webinar, Eric and Dave will discuss:
• How the volume of system alerts from Network Security solutions are creating lots of noise but lack context to focus on the real threats facing your data
• How to stop advanced threats – with no advance knowledge of the tools or malware – by following the attack sequence
• Why bridging the gap between system security and data protection is the key to stopping ever increasing sophisticated attackers from stealing your data

Kevin Sheu, Sr. Manager, Product Marketing, FireEye
Well-maintained perimeter defenses are a key part of any security strategy. Organizations increasingly recognize that they must also complement their perimeter defenses with strong forensics capabilities to investigate and analyze attacks. When attacked, an enterprise needs to be able to rapidly investigate and determine the scope and impact of the incident so they can effectively contain the threat and secure their network.
In interactive this session, you will learn about:
• The key use cases for network forensics
• The typical organization that acquires network forensics technologies
• How FireEye Enterprise Forensics enables the proper response to today's cyber attacks
Protecting Government Assets in an Era of Cyber Warfare
Mar 5 2015
60 mins
Tony Cole, VP/Global Government CTO (FireEye)
FireEye recently released a new report that documents how and why governments around the world are turning to the cyber domain as a cost-effective way to spy on other countries, steal technology, and even wage war.
Whether it's sensitive military, diplomatic, or economic information, governments depend on the integrity of their data. If that data falls into the wrong hands, the consequences could be severe.
In the wake of two apparent state- and government-sponsored attacks, APT1 and APT28, government agencies must understand why they are in attackers' crosshairs, what attackers might be seeking, and how they can protect themselves.
Join us for a dynamic discussion with subject matter experts where you will learn:
•What makes your government-related organization an appealing target – whether you're a political opponent, business, agency or vendor
•Why it's important to determine who could be planning an attack, their motives, and how they might carry out their goals
•How to assess your level of preparedness and how to protect yourself if you are not ready for this new era of cyber warfare
Behind the Syrian Conflict's Digital Front Lines
Feb 19 2015
59 mins
Nart Villeneuve (FireEye), Daniel Regalado (FireEye), John Scott-Railton (The Citizen Lab)
FireEye recently released a new report "Behind the Syrian Conflict's Digital Frontlines" that documents a well-executed hacking operation that successfully breached the Syrian opposition.
Between at least November 2013 and January 2014, the hackers stole a cache of critical documents and Skype conversations revealing the Syrian opposition's strategy, tactical battle plans, supply needs, and troves of personal information and chat sessions. This data belonged to the men fighting against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's forces as well as media activists, humanitarian aid workers, and others within the opposition located in Syria, the region and beyond.
We have only limited indications about the origins of this threat activity. Our research revealed multiple references to Lebanon both in the course of examining the malware and in the avatar's social media use. While we do not know who conducted this hacking operation, if this data was acquired by Assad's forces or their allies it could confer a distinct battlefield advantage.
Join us for a roundtable discussion with subject matter experts where we'll talk about the details of the report and explore surrounding topics, to include:
• An overview of the conflict in Syria and why cyber-espionage is an increasingly important factor
• An in-depth analysis of a critical breach of the Syrian opposition including an overview of the tools and techniques used by the threat actors
All webinar attendees will receive a free copy of the new Syrian report. Register today!

Hacking the Street? FIN4 Likely Playing the Market
Dec 5 2014
58 mins
Barry Vengerik, Principal Threat Intelligence Analyst, Kristen Dennesen, Sr. Threat Intelligence Analyst
This week FireEye released a new report called Hacking the Street? FIN4 Likely Playing the Market. This report focuses on a targeted threat group that we call FIN4 (Financially Motivated Group 4), whose tactics are surprisingly low-tech yet insidiously effective at obtaining access to confidential discussions at the highest levels of targeted companies. Our research suggests that FIN4 is likely targeting these companies in order to obtain advance knowledge of "market catalysts," or events that cause the price of stocks to rise or fall dramatically.
Join us for a roundtable discussion with subject matter experts where we'll talk about the details of the report and explore surrounding topics, to include:
• A deep dive into FIN4's tactics and why they are simple yet surprisingly effective
• How FIN4 may be monitoring insider communications for a trading advantage
• Why FIN4 is different from other threat groups FireEye tracks
• A profile of organizations at risk, and what they can do to protect themselves.
All webinar attendees will receive a complimentary copy of the Hacking the Street? report.

A New Approach to IPS – Reduce Your Exposure and Costs
Sep 4 2014
35 mins
Rajiv Raghunarayan (FireEye), Srinivas Loke (FireEye)
Current IPS products are deficient for lots of reasons—they're signature-based, unable to detect modern threats, and, they create excessive alerts that require additional resources to manage. Using an outdated protection model results in distracting false positives and a lack of actionable threat intelligence. Organizations need a holistic view of multi-vector attacks that goes well beyond what conventional IPS tools offer.
In just 30 minutes, you'll learn how to:
* Confirm attacks via timely and validated threat notifications
* Minimize time and resource investments resulting from false alerts
* Consolidate known and unknown threats on a single platform
* Create actionable insights by correlating threats to derive richer intelligence and speed incident response times
Join FireEye for this brief webinar and discover a new approach to IPS. You'll quickly realize how you can save your organization time, money, and reduce your exposure to the threats lurking out there.

Cybersecurity's Maginot Line: A Real-World Assessment of Defense-in-Depth
Jun 25 2014
60 mins
Dave Merkel, CTO, FireEye, Inc.
Are you building another Maginot Line? France's famed border defense was hailed as a military marvel in the run-up to World War II — and quickly rendered useless by new blitzkrieg-style warfare. In much the same way, many common cybersecurity tools are not stopping today's attacks.
In a first-of-its-kind study, we analyzed data from 1,216 organizations in 63 countries across more than 20 industries. FireEye sits behind other layers in the typical defense-in-depth architecture. That placement offers a unique vantage point to observe them in action.
Here's what we found:
•97% of organizations were breached, even with multiple security layers.
•More than one-fourth of all organizations experienced events consistent with advance persistent threat (APT) attacks.
•Three fourths of organizations had active command-and-control communications.
•Even after an organization was breached, attackers attempted to compromise the typical organization more than once per week (1.6 times) on average.
Join us in a live briefing to discuss these findings and what they mean for your cyber defense plan.
Cover Your Assets: How to Keep Your Data Safe
Jun 12 2014
34 mins
Carrie McDaniel, Product Marketing Manager, File Security Imperva
Cyber security experts suggest that it's likely your organization's data has already been breached. So rather than asking "what if?", it's time to ask "now what?". Hackers use spear phishing and malware to target your trusted insiders, and then leverage stolen credentials to navigate the company network and gain access to the data center. Your data center is the ultimate goal for these attacks because it contains a concentration of sensitive data, as well as critical business applications.
This session will discuss a risk-based approach to protecting critical files, databases, and sensitive applications from compromised users. Join us to learn how to minimize downtime, save time, and keep your employees productive during the remediation process. We will also discuss how to track and analyze user activity once malware is detected.
The leading provider of next generation threat protection
FireEye is the world leader in combating advanced malware, zero-day and targeted attacks that bypass traditional defenses, such as firewalls, IPS and antivirus.

How will districts grade teachers?
How will districts grade teachers?
"They should be done really thoughtfully, based on research and other work people have done elsewhere."
But the U.S. Department of Education wants an evaluation system in place that includes student performance by 2014-15.
And federal regulators may have the leverage to get their way.
For starters, low-performing schools that have accepted federal School Improvement Grant funds are expected to adopt teacher evaluations that use student performance. That applies to half of Chicago public schools this year, and the remaining half next year.
More broadly, Illinois may have to speed its teacher evaluations statewide if it wants to be freed from other federal regulations.
That's because Illinois, like most states, has sought a waiver from the No Child Left Behind Act, allowing for it to be exempted from the law's more austere provisions in exchange for reforms. Those reforms include overhauling teacher evaluations to include student performance.
More than 30 states, including Missouri, have already received such waivers.
Illinois is still in the application phase, a process that will ultimately settle when the new evaluations must be in place.

Performance of MIMO Systems in Measured Indoor Channels With Transmitter Noise
Free registration required
Executive Summary
This paper analyzes the impact of transmitter noise on the performance of Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems with linear and nonlinear receivers and precoders. The authors show that the performance of MIMO linear and decision-feedback receivers is not significantly influenced by the presence of transmitter noise, which does not hold true in the case of MIMO systems with precoding. Nevertheless, the authors also show that this degradation can be greatly alleviated when the transmitter noise is considered in the MIMO precoder design.

The Ethics of Accounting and Finance: Trust, Responsibility, and Control
Edited and revised specifically for this volume, here are the best papers from the Tenth National Conference on Business Ethics, sponsored by Bentley College's Center for Business Ethics. Throughout, the contributors emphasize the ethical dimensions of problems and issues that confront the financial services and accounting industries, issues that are also of critical importance to business generally. Included among the contributors are members of the academic community, lawyers, government officials, and financial services and accounting professionals, each with his or her own special perspective, but all focused on the central theme: the importance of ethics and its proper role in the way financial services and accounting are done. Throughtful, challenging reading, not only for academics but for finance and accounting professionals as well.
Part I examines the ethics of the fiduciary relationship between principals and agents, defining the nature of trust and helping readers understand the fiduciary responsibility and conflicts of interest characteristic to the industry. In Part II, the contributors look at specific issues in ethics and financial disclosure, with particular focus on nonprofit healthcare organizations, financial derivatives, and confidentiality in a professional context as representative cases. More cases are presented in Part III, examining a variety of situations and events, such as the BCCI affair and the failure of banks. Part IV offers lessons from the past and a look toward the future, with such topics as the ethics of financial derivatives in the history of economic thought and the development of moral reasoning and professional judgment of auditors in public practice.

Trip Queries
Trip starts on Friday! Queries:
1) Suggested reading material? I'm going to be on a train for a week! And on planes for 8-12 hours at a time! And maybe also some downtime in Japan while Jono's working. Any suggested reading? I like stories with strong plot and character development and minimal infodump. I just acquired a Kindle (the recent price drop finally made it within my "impulse purchase" range), and have on it: A Game of Thrones, The Name of the Wind, and Guns, Germs, and Steel.
2) Postcards? Feel free to comment or email with your address.
3) Tokyo suggestions? So we're spending 1 weekend in Nagasaki and 1 weekend in Tohoku, but during the week, Jono will be working, so it's going to be me exploring Tokyo by myself during that time. Any suggestions of places to go, things to do?

Thank you Kiki and Salim.
You're home was filled with warmth and love.
We found it incredibly easy to get around and if we ever had any questions you were always more then happy to help us.
Highly recommend using you guys and if we are ever in LA again we will definitely be staying with you again.
Thank you for all your assistance
Property was exactly as advertised, in a lovely part of Santa Monica. We really enjoyed walking around the local area, plus parking for the car was easy. Loved the provision of beach towels in addition to regular ones! The main bed is very comfy and the hardwood floors in bedroom and lounge are great. There's no air - conditioning in the property, but there's a powerful fan in the bedroom and so once we got that up and running (and a window open) it quickly cooled down. Kiki was quick to answer any queries that we had. We had a great 3 days in Santa Monica, thank you!
Very well maintained, bright and breezy bungalow in a quiet well to do area. Easy parking, communicative hosts. Slept great on the comfy bed. Kitchen has all the basics you'd expect in a high end timeshare.
Kiki and Salim's trailer is wonderfully refurbished and very comfortable. I loved every second of our stay. The outdoor shower is amazing, too. Nothing compares to taking a shower in the sunshine. Apart from that the two are great hosts who were super nice to chat with and had great tipps for the surrounding. Highly recommended!
This is a clean, comfortable, convenient and charming little bungalow in a wonderful part of Santa Monica. It was easy to park our car either right in front of the apartment, across the street or around the corner.
We loved being able to step out the door and walk along the beautiful residential streets and/or to the grocery stores and other shops that were within several blocks of the bungalow.
Kiki was very welcoming and kind -- always responsive to our questions. This was an excellent home base for us, an ideal launch pad for visits to Los Angeles, Orange County, Santa Barbara, and of course the Santa Monica Bay Area. We had a super time.
A perfect place to stay in Santa Monica. The unit is very clean, bright and extremely comfortable, not to mention quiet and peaceful at night. I had an excellent stay. Kiki was easy to communicate with and available when I had any questions. I liked the little details, such as having some basic food stuff in the kitchen too, such as coffee. I would highly recommend this place and hope I can stay there again on future trips to the area!
We had a delightful experience at Kiki's & Salim's.
The airstream is very comfortable (especially the bed), clean and very well organised (with storage etc). Outside, a small table with a bench and a great smell of jasmine and a vue on the bougainvillea! We felt on vacation the minute we got there. Kiki and Salim were very friendly and very easy to communicate with. It was great to start our trip there! Highly recommended!
Firs, Kiki was very helpful with all of our questions. This was very important to us.
The place was in great shape and very comfortable. We used the Full Size Fridge to keep our food until the next stop.
The property had plenty of on street parking and always close to the bungalow.
The property was in a great neighborhood and close to everything.
Thanks for everything Kiki! Keep up the good work.
The place was amazing. It was clean and convenient to the beach. Kiki and Salim left perfect instructions and were excellent hosts. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.
Great stay on a nice quiet street walking distance from some of the best dining in LA!
The vintage fully restored Airstream trailer that Kiki and Salim have to offer is an ultra cool unique refuge in a setting that is both urban and homely. 'Le trailer', as I like to call it, is my home away from home and each occasion I am granted the great favor to stay here I leave knowing I am truly lucky to know such great people and to have access to what is the most bitching lodging out there.
Le trailer's groovy custom interior was truly a labor of love that reflects concentratedly their functional, clever and utterly cool approach to design. Le trailer itself is perfectly situated amidst fence like bamboo and omnipresent bougainvillea evocative of an enchanted eastern courtyard within a regal Riad of the Maghreb but actually is minutes from Los Angeles International Airport, major freeways, Venice beach and an endless variety of restaurants.
'Le trailer' for me is the ideal situation; cozy quarters outfitted with all the mod cons (and a bed that will make you weep when you awake and realize you must leave it) surrounded by dream like greenery in a totally central bit of Los Angeles. Yet, now that I really think of it, what really makes each stay truly special is the warmth and love that is always, unfailingly extended to me by LA's coolest and most gracious host's Kiki and Salim.
Side note: Their saintly dog Tiger is an experience unto himself. :)
Enjoy your stay.
I've been friends w/ Kiki for years and she is one of my favorite people!She has incredible style and taste,and i love spending time @ her beautiful,zen,home.I've spent the night a few times and it was sooo comfy!My favorite thing to do when I'm visiting her is either sitting outside in her lovely backyard,or taking a steam in her fab shower/steam room!

Van cherry on Gisela 5
I am stoked to find a nursery that offers bareroot Van cherry trees on Gisela 5, and that ships to California.
Van is an old variety, ripening several weeks before Bing here in central California. It was fruitnut's favorite cherry either last year or the year before.
I also ordered an Early Burlat, and a Comice pear on Quince rootstock.
For us Californians who are, for many fruit trees, limited to what we can obtain from California, Oregon, and Washington, I'm glad I found Cloud Mountain Farm Center.
Neither I nor anyone I know has financial interest in this nursery, just pointing it out as having something I couldn't find elsewhere.
Here is a link that might be useful: Cloud Mountain
Thanks for the pointer about that nursery. Haven't heard of them before.
My Van ripens near Bing. But it's really hard for me to tell when any of the sweet cherries ripen. All I can do is taste and see if they are sweet enough to start. Then they get sweeter for several weeks before getting overly soft and finally shriveling. Outdoors with birds most people probably harvest weeks before brix peaks.
Van is very precocious and sets heavily. It bore more fruit in 2nd and 3rd leaf than anything else I have. Along with that comes oversetting and small lesser quality fruit as the tree matures. Heavy pruning will cure the oversetting issue if you can keep the tree growing.
It is a very good eating sweet cherry and topped DWN taste testing.
I wish I had not overlooked Van
when picking my bakers dozen cherry cultivars
I was having a dreadful time with a container grown Bing from lowes
Van desciptions tend to comment on its similarity to Bing also that its a great pollinator which I didn't need.
But if it ranks #1 with DW & fruitnut thats some cherry!
Gisela 5 I really like very precocious & vigorous, early/ heavy bearing, some virus resistance
requires support pretty much forever though
I've been "dabbling" with cherries for two years, now, since I found out about dwarfing rootstocks.
My efforts at open-vase training have yielded less than steller results.
This year I've got 10 new trees and an expensive quart of Promalin. I'm going to try to do a "fruiting wall" with either Tall Spindle or Slender Spindle training.
Here is a link that might be useful: Tall Spindle
GreenOrchardMom, which varieties did you go with? On which rootstocks?
I have a 2 year old Bing, on Zaiger, in a 30 gallon pot that is really healthy. What size was your container?
I grow peaches, apples, and Mandarins, but cherries are absolutely my favorite fruit.
When I was young my family were migrant workers, they stopped and took other jobs when I hit school age (55 years ago).
We knew lots of farmers and were always welcome to work weekends and during times of unemployment. I've spent a lot of time in cherry orchards. The last time was probably in 1985, when Rainiers were first coming into production. Van, Bing, and Royal Ann were it, save for a few old 40' tall Lambert orchards.
I don't think I've ever had a ripe Van, they were always picked early because the farmers wanted to reap the higher prices for first-to-market.
As fruitnut said, Van sets heavily, even on full-size rootstocks.
Bing cherries can fool you, they may look ripe but still not be at peak. A fully ripe Bing will be nearly black and maybe even have those sugar dots like apples and plums. They will take your breath away.
This year I'm planting 3 Bings (one each on Zaiger, G5, and K6); Rainier (on Zaiger, G5, and K6); Sweetheart on Zaiger; Samba on K6; and the Van and Early Burlat on G5.
When I can get an Attika and a Skeena on a dwarfing rootstock I think I'll have all the varieties I want (until something new comes along).
Waiting thats an impressive resume, the stories you must have to tell!
If I lived in your climate I would ask you a gazillion questions.
I have Black Gold, Blushing G, White G G5
Hudson, Sam, Ranier yeah I know... its for a VERY good gf
Danube, Balaton, Jubileum most G5
I lost a large shipment of cherries 2011 due to a very late delivery
Attika & Skeena were 2 I ordered
I tried every trick up my sleeve to coax them out of dormancy
but no luck they got too dry & hot yanked em out that fall
If you ever want to advise me on ANY matter growing cherries
they are my very extraordinary favorite fruit too
go for it
Gisela rootstocks are not drought tolerant. They easily get drought stressed in our Central California climate, expecially if your soil is well drained. They also tend to overproduce. Make sure they are properly irrigated during summer months.
