Democrats changed
We honor the passing of statesmen Allen Dixon, one of the last conservative Democrats who actually fought communism instead of wanting to be a communist. And the voters of Illinois rewarded him by throwing him out of office. This is the state of the modern Democratic Party. We now have communists running the system.
Mention the price
The narrative that accompanied your photos July 18 of Southwestern Illinois College's solar panel installation failed to mention that the project will cost Illinois taxpayers almost $163,000 when completed. At that rate, assuming that the system operates continuously and as advertised, it will take 13.7 years for payback on the investment. Please don't forget those required twice a year cleanings to optimize efficiency.
Money keeps leading
I see the Democrats have their campaign chests shoved full of union money again. It's really a shame. How can we expect things to get any better when union members, like cattle with no minds of their own, are told exactly how to vote? The ones handing out our union money and the ones receiving it do not want things to change, it will ruin their free ride.
Trading party places
Did I read correctly in the BND that the Democrats representing Belleville have as much as 10 times the amount of campaign money as their Republican opponents? Odd, I've always been told that Republicans have corporate money from rich donors and always sit down rather than stand up for the little guy. And Democrats can't get any donations except maybe a dollar at a time. Weird. I'm going to have to start paying attention a little more.
Enough explanations
Enough already of BND Editor Jeff Couch's columns on recent changes to his newspaper's format. A week ago I didn't even know what he looked like and now I see his face nearly every morning over coffee. The BND is not nearly as complex as the Affordable Care Act. I think most BND readers can figure it out or cry "uncle" if they can't.
Free ride continues
I've read about the hubbub over the recently increased MetroLink/bus fares. Meanwhile the Redbird Express, Rams Express and the Muny Express fares remain unchanged. They continue to operate as if the ridership needed generously government-subsidized fares, even though every rider is already holding a pricey ticket to these entertainment events. So much for fairness of fares.
If it helps the pain ...
What is the medical marijuana brouhaha? I don't know of anyone who would not want his loved ones to be able to have their pain eased. You can go to any street corner in St. Clair County for harder drugs. Let's do something sensible for those who need the pain reliever.
Inspiration for youth
What a great story on the front page July 4 about young people who worked to clean up this elderly lady's yard. I am so proud of Will Berger starting the Will 2 Work group. It would be so great if we had more young people helping the elderly as these young people have done. I am an 85-year-old widow, so I know how she felt toward them.
Worry about Illinois
Why does Southern Illinois University have to raise the tuition of students if the state is so broke? Why do we have signs in Alabama, St. Louis and who knows where else, "Come to SIUE and pay in-state tuition"? Is it fair to the kids who live in Illinois and their parents who pay taxes? They want to go to SIUE and there is not room, and for every so many students enrolled you need to hire another professor. Why do we have to go out of state to recruit students? Think about the taxpayers and let the Illinois students enjoy their university without paying higher tuition.
All boats will rise
The Belleville merchants are wrong about the German Christmas market. Businesses do not prosper by keeping people away. Businesses prosper by bringing in more people to an area for whatever reason. They would find that the shoppers, because they are downtown, will make unplanned stops at some of the stores and then return to those stores if they sell something worthwhile.
No skin in the game
Belleville Mayor Mark Eckert said downtown businesses shouldn't be concerned about other businesses coming in to sell their goods. I bet if they were selling floral arrangements and poinsettias like his wife's business does, he would change his mind.
Investment in order
A lot of people complain about downtown Belleville; there's nothing wrong with spending money on ways to keep it revitalized. They could have given up years ago on it. You don't want it to look like the University City Loop area where businesses are sliding, or end up like Collinsville Avenue in East St. Louis. Let the good things continue to happen in downtown area -- or else.
Get glass off streets
I noticed six months ago that there was ground-up glass up and down my street, and then I realized it was from the recycling truck. I called Belleville and asked if there was a problem with the truck. They said no, that's what you get when you recycle glass. That's terrible, don't they know it sure could mess up dogs' paws? I wish something could be done about this.
Know thy neighbor
I'm calling about Belleville Mayor Mark Eckert, who called the police on me. I'm his neighbor, I've been living there for 10 months. The mayor called the police saying I was a suspicious black male while I was parked in front of my house. I was sitting out there because I had a flat tire. He didn't bother to say, "Do you need any help or anything?" No, he called the police. I am not a male, nor do I look like one; I have a short haircut. Why do we allow him to run our city when he doesn't even know who lives in his neighborhood?
Self-defense allowed
What would we do if rockets were being fired from Canada and hitting around Chicago and Detroit? Would we do nothing? I doubt it. I don't blame Israel for going into Gaza and mopping up the rocket launch site. It's the only way Israel is going to get peace.
Apply laws to all
The Caseyville Police did a good job of stopping several people on my street from shooting off illegal and dangerous fireworks. Then they ignored the large display of fireworks shot off by Village Trustee Rick Casey Jr. and Village Clerk Rob Watt in the street, less than 100 feet from the home of acting Police Chief Scott Miller. If this is how Miller will equally enforce the law in Caseyville, maybe he would be the wrong choice for chief.
Ride another night
The Tour de Belleville should not be held on a Friday night because that's a busy traffic night. It's an inconvenience for me to get around Belleville and then I'm still dodging adults and kids riding bikes in the streets. I think the organizers need to be more concerned with the safely of its participants.
Take back the county
I agree with letter writer Bob DesPain about the need for transparency as the 2014 Madison County Board elections come for nine of its members. I'm convinced of the across-the-board corruption led by the Board Chairman Alan Dunstan, so I'm not going to vote for any incumbent on either side. It's time for county voters to take back their government.
GOP on wrong track
They lost in 1933, lost in 1965, they are wrong in 2014. They are Republicans and they were wrong about Social Security and Medicare, and they will be wrong about the Affordable Care Act, mark my words.
McCoy calls it right
Kudos to cartoonist Glenn McCoy, who admirably portrayed President Obama's recently missed photo op at our southern border. The commander in chief chose to attend political fundraisers elsewhere in Texas rather than get a firsthand look at this catastrophe of humanity that he helped create. For shame.
Border needs securing
Something seriously needs to be done about the crisis on the U.S. border. Our president and leaders don't care. I believe they want immigrants to come into our country. Health wise, economically and security wise, these are our enemies; we will have another attack on our country because of it. Our borders need to be secured. It's against the law to come into our country this way and it needs to be stopped.
All honor to Dixon
If former U.S. Sen. Alan Dixon was so beneficial to maintaining Scott Air Force Base, why hasn't St. Clair County taken steps to rename Air Mobility Drive to Alan Dixon Drive?
No respect remains
First we have the Alorton mayor bringing contraband into the Alorton jail, then a former Washington Park officer brought drugs into the St. Clair County Jail for an inmate. What is going on in this county that these people are getting probation? Anyone else doing that would be in jail. The favoritism by the Democratic Party pervades.
No help in a crisis
I'm calling about St. Clair County Animal Control. We captured an injured raccoon and took it to Animal Control. All they had to do was give it an injection to euthanize it. What is Animal Control for if it doesn't take animals that may carry rabies? They only take cats and dogs. Shut the building down; I'm not paying for workers who do nothing for pay and benefits.
Legal immigrants only
Kevin Gagen's letter to the BND siding with the people welcoming illegal aliens was ridiculous. Gagen being a liberal, states the Statue of Liberty's message. I'd like to point out what it should say is: "Give me your legal tired, poor and huddled masses." The Statue of Liberty was not there to encourage illegal immigrants to come in, burdening our hospital systems and burdening people who need jobs. He has the wrong ideal. It's a legal system here and needs to be followed. If Gagen feels so badly about the children, why doesn't he take one of them in and support the child. He should put his money where his mouth is.
A poor response
I think it's terrible the cats found in the Belleville home had to be euthanized. Perhaps the Belleville Area Humane society could have run an ad and they would have found decent homes, Shame on them.
Response on target
Kudos to BND letter writer Grant Montgomery for his well-put, measured reply to the cheap shot taken at law-abiding Republican gun owners by far left letter writer Michael Ray Dillier.
Glad to hear Prenzler
I enjoyed reading Madison County Treasurer Kurt Prenzler's recent letter to the BND. Funny but a Republican from Madison County communicates more with the St. Clair County taxpayers than the Democratic ghosts who are seldom available for comment.

Shawn Evenhaim and Shoham Nicolet were both officers in the Israeli army, so they know what it means to be able to sit down during a ten-minute break in action on the field and open a package with some snacks and towelettes and a personal letter from someone overseas thanking you for protecting the Jewish homeland.
When the fire broke out in northern Israel on Thursday, Evenhaim, a board member of the Los Angeles-based Israel Leadership Council, and Nicolet, ILC's executive director, mobilized, military-style, to send that kind of succor to the firefighters.
ILC worked with the Jewish National Fund to set up contacts with the firefighters and figure out what they needed and how to best get it there.
Nicolet, who was in Israel at the time, ordered 100 pizzas from the Haifa Pizza Hut to be delivered to the frontlines, courtesy of ILC.
Evenhaim contacted a childhood friend who works for Supersol, one of Israel's largest grocery chains, and arranged to have 400 packages of food and hygiene items packed and delivered to the firelines. At the same time, Evenhaim contacted Kadima Academy in West Hills and the kids all wrote personal letters – some in Hebrew, some in English, many with illustrations—thanking the firefighters and police officers, as well as letters to children who were evacuated. Those letters were scanned and then printed in Israel, and included in the care packages, which reached firefighters by Sunday.
The entire operation cost ILC under $10,000, most of which has already been raised.
"When we heard about the fire our immediate reaction was that we wanted to make an impact in the field, at the frontlines," Evenhaim said. "I know there are many organization that will raise money for bigger things, but our mission was to concentrate on helping the real heroes on the ground."

Fourth-quarter Highlights: oNet revenues grew 14.0% to $18.8 million from $16.5 million from continuing operations in the year-ago quarter oGross margins expanded to 37.7%, as compared to 34.9% in the year-ago quarter oVimicro remained profitable on an adjusted basis for the third consecutive quarter, with adjusted net income attributable to Vimicro of $2.6 million, or $0.08 per diluted ADS. Full-year Highlights: oNet revenues from continuing operations increased 20.7% to $71.2 million oSurveillance revenue grew 47.0% to $17.8 million from $12.1 million in the prior year. Gross margins increased to 36.6% from 34.8% in the prior year oNet income from continuing operation attributable to Vimicro was $1.38 million, or $0.04 per diluted ADS. Fourth-Quarter 2012 Results Net revenue in the fourth quarter of 2012 was $18.8 million, as compared to net revenue from continuing operations of $21.7 million in the third quarter and $16.5 million from continuing operations in the year-ago quarter. (Results for the fourth quarter of 2011 and the third quarter of 2012 have been adjusted for continuing operations to reflect the divestiture of certain business lines.) Fourth-quarter revenues were below the guidance range of $20 to $23 million due to the delayed recognition of one large contract valued at around $3 million. The contract will be recognized from the second quarter in 2013. Gross profit in the fourth quarter was $7.1 million, as compared with $5.8 million in the year-ago quarter. The gross margin in the fourth quarter was 37.7%, as compared with 34.9% in the year-ago quarter and 38.0% in the third quarter. Operating expenses in the fourth quarter were $8.7 million, as compared to $16.5 million in the year-ago quarter, and include a $1.4 million impairment of an investment in a subsidiary. Operating expenses in the year-ago quarter include a $6.6 million asset-impairment charge. Operating expenses decreased year-over-year due to the Company's successful cost-reduction efforts and the receipt of government R&D subsidies for the development of SVAC-related and other products. The operating loss was $1.6 million in the quarter, as compared to a loss of $10.8 million in the year-ago quarter. Excluding $2.7 million for the accounts receivable provision and the investment impairment, operating income would have been approximately $1.1 million. Non-GAAP net income attributable to Vimicro International Corporation was $2.6 million, or approximately $0.08 per ADS on diluted basis, as compared to a non-GAAP net loss from continuing operations attributable to Vimicro of $4.1 million, or $0.12 per ADS in the year-ago quarter. Non-GAAP net income attributable to Vimicro International Corporation excludes $0.4 million of non-cash, share-based compensation. In the fourth quarter of 2012, Vimicro remained profitable on a GAAP basis, reporting GAAP net income attributable to Vimicro of $2.2 million, or $0.07 per diluted ADS, as compared to a loss of $4.2 million, or $0.12 per diluted ADS in the year-ago quarter. Full-Year 2012 Results For the year ended December 31, 2012, net revenue from continuing operations was $71.2 million, up 20.7% from $59.0 million in 2011. The increase in sales was attributable to higher sales of both PC and notebook multimedia processors and surveillance products. These figures exclude $1.4 million and $12.5 million in revenue from discontinued operations in 2012 and 2011, respectively. Cost of revenue in 2012 was $45.1 million, as compared with $38.5 million in the prior year, and includes a $1.4 million impairment of an investment in a subsidiary. The gross margin in 2012 was 36.6%, as compared with 34.8% in the previous year. Operating expenses in 2012 were $31.7 million and included $1.4 million investment impairment at a subsidiary, as compared to $49.1 million in the prior year, which includes a $6.6 million asset-impairment charge. Operating expenses decreased due to the Company's successful cost-reduction efforts and the receipt of government R&D subsidies for the development of SVAC-related and other products. Non-GAAP net income attributable to Vimicro International Corporation, excluding $2.1 million in share-based compensation, was $1.5 million, or approximately $0.05 per ADS, compared to a loss of $25.8 million, or $0.71 per ADS, in 2011. The full-year 2012 GAAP net loss attributable to Vimicro was $0.6 million. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $55.5 million and restricted cash of $2.6 million, totaling $58.1 million. Total current assets were approximately $103.5 million, and Vimicro had working capital of approximately $64.3 million, and $4.8 million of long-term bank loans on its balance sheet, as of December 31, 2012. Dr. John Deng, Vimicro's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "In 2012, we saw the success of strategic decisions we made to refocus Vimicro on our surveillance business and streamline our cost structure. We turned profitable in the second quarter, and Vimicro was also profitable on an adjusted basis for the year. Revenues grew again on an annual basis in 2012, and surveillance revenues grew a healthy 47%. Vimicro has now established a solid financial foundation, upon which we can continue to invest in the development of SVAC-based products and which we expect to deliver future growth and profitability for our shareholders." Business Outlook For the first quarter of 2013, Vimicro expects seasonally lower revenues in security-surveillance and lower revenues year-over-year in its PC and notebook multimedia processor business, alongside a temporary decline of orders from a major PC and notebook customer. Fourth-Quarter Earnings Release and Conference Call Information Vimicro plans to release fourth-quarter and full-year 2012 results on Tuesday, April 30, 2013, after the U.S. market closes.

Vimicro may also make written or oral forward-looking statements in its periodic reports to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on forms 20-F and 6-K, etc., in its annual report to shareholders, in press releases and other written materials and in oral statements made by its officers, directors or employees to third parties. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about Vimicro's beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement, including but not limited to the following: the Company's ability to develop and sell new mobile multimedia products; the expected growth of the mobile multimedia market; the Company's ability to increase sales of notebook camera multimedia processors; the Company's ability to retain existing customers and acquire new customers and respond to competitive market conditions; the Company's ability to respond in a timely manner to the evolving multimedia market and changing consumer preferences and industry standards and to stay abreast of technological changes; the Company's ability to secure sufficient foundry capacity in a timely manner; the company's ability to effectively protect its intellectual property and the risk that it may infringe on the intellectual property of others; and cyclicality of the semiconductor industry. Further information regarding these and other risks is included in Vimicro's annual report on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Vimicro does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement, except as required under applicable law. All information provided in this press release is as of the date hereof, and Vimicro undertakes no duty to update such information, except as required under applicable law. Non-GAAP Measures To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, Vimicro uses non-GAAP measures of non-GAAP income/(loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income/(loss) attributed to Vimicro International Corporation and non-GAAP diluted net income /(loss) from continuing operations per ADS, which are adjusted from the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP to exclude amortization of share-based compensation expense. These non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance investors' overall understanding of the Company's financial performance as they exclude share-based expenses that are not expected to result in future cash payments. The non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. A limitation of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that these non-GAAP measures exclude share-based compensation charges that have been and will continue to be significant recurring expenses in our business for the foreseeable future. We compensate for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of our share-based compensation charges in our reconciliations to the GAAP measures. For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned "Reconciliation of non- GAAP results of operations measures to the nearest comparable GAAP measures" set forth at the end of this release. Vimicro believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP measures in assessing the performance of Vimicro's liquidity and when planning and forecasting future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to Vimicro's historical liquidity. Vimicro computes its non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter. The accompanying tables have more details on the GAAP financial measures that are most comparable to non-GAAP financial measures and the related reconciliations between financial measures.

5 out of 8 people found this review helpful:I can't take it!!!!!It's so CORNY~!
I couldn't make it past the first episode! Normally, I would try, but it's too much melodrama over too small an issue and far to early in the series to even have that degree of drama!!
The animation seems very pretty and the music is good, but I just can't take the drama.
Good luck to anyone else trying to tackle this series!

Being the best defensive player in the NFL isn't enough for the Texans' J.J. Watt. Now he wants to play on offense, too. "I've been lobbying since day one," Watt told the Houston Chronicle. "It hasn't worked yet, so I don't think it's going to work anytime soon. But it's Coach Gary Kubiak's team." At first Watt's desire to play offense was taken as something of a joke. But when you're the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year, people listen. "We might let him in there at some point," Kubiak said with a smile. "But it's not going to be anytime soon." Watt's athletic ability is well-documented, and he began his college career as a tight end at Central Michigan. He switched to defense after transferring to Wisconsin, and his alma mater might help him earn a role in the Texans' short-yardage offense which is also named the for the Badgers. "We've talked about it, actually," Kubiak said. "We talked about our Wisconsin package with him and Garrett (Graham) and (Owen Daniels) on t...

5.0 out of 5 stars Gershwin would approve,
An outstanding tour de force from Tommy Smith, Brian Kellock and the whole orchestra. Everyone in this talented line-up gets the chance to shine and shine they do. I was fortunate enough to be in the audience on the night it was recorded and the recording more than does it justice. Taking on a classic and transforming it is a potentially dangerous game but this is a triumph on all levels - the ensemble playing is outstanding and the soloists all have something to say. Smith and Kellock leave no musical stone unturned as they progress through the full dynamic range of big band sound with both power and finesse in equal measure. We have Ragtime in Blue, Rhapsody in Rio (or is it Havana?)and just about every jazz genre you could imagine woven into the mix. It is hard to believe that this runs to over 50 minutes as there is variety and interest throughout. Bravo guys!I can't help but think that Mr Gershwin would approve. If you like big band at its best, buy it. This in time will assume classic status of its own.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jazz is not dead, it just smells...pretty darn good,
lexo1941 (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews
...To paraphrase the great Frank Zappa. Actually, one of the things the SNJO's rendition of Rhapsody in Blue is, is funny, but we'll get to that later.
For those who don't know anything about this recording or those taking part in it, a little context may help. Scottish sax player Tommy Smith is, it's generally agreed by those who know about these things, one of the finest musicians of his generation. Not only is he a demon sax player and an ambitious and gifted composer, he's also extremely generous in terms of what he's given back to the music. His most conspicuous achievement outside of his own music is the creation of the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra, arguably the best big band in Europe; since Smith and his collaborators put the thing together, it's been a proving ground and a showcase for some of the finest Scottish jazz musicians. Anyone who deals with Scottish jazz on a regular basis notices the same names coming up over and over again, because the best of the younger generation have all passed through the SNJO at some point or another. (Of the older generation of Scottish jazz musicians, a rather depressing proportion of them are determined to play nothing but the most pedestrian kind of trad; musicians of 40 and under tend to be significantly more eclectic, daring and creative.)
Anyway, it seems that at some point someone suggested to Smith that he might have a go at doing Rhapsody in Blue. Over the next few years, he was too busy to arrange anything but he noticed that one of his musical partners, the pianist Brian Kellock, tended to quote the piece in his own solos with what seemed like increasing frequency. Finally, during a long stopover at Bristol Airport (not, as anyone who's ever spent much time there will testify, the most inspiring place in the world), the two sat down with Gershwin's score and began to figure out what might be done with the old classical-jazz warhorse.
Remember that Rhapsody in Blue is usually performed by symphony orchestras, and it's only fifteen minutes long. Even the first performance was by the non-jazz Paul Whiteman Orchestra, and the only recording made of their rendition, although quaint and with the composer himself at the piano, sounds remarkably stiff to our ears, with nanny-goat clarinets and an almost total lack of swing (except when Gershwin himself is playing). Subsequent recordings, with orchestras, conductors and soloists comfortable with the history and swing of actual jazz (as opposed to Paul Whiteman, who didn't know jazz from a cold fried egg) have confirmed the value of the work as a successful piece of concert music that draws on jazz harmonies and rhythms without actually being jazz itself. (In Ferde Grofé's original arrangement there is no space for soloing, even though Gershwin was by all accounts a pretty good jazz player who improvised a good deal of his own piano part in the premiere.)
Smith took the piece, rearranged it, used elements of it to provide plenty of harmonic bases for soloing, extended it enormously to just under an hour, and the result was premiered at the 2006 Edinburgh International Jazz Festival. This is a recording of that premiere performance. We're lucky to have it, because this band was on fire that night. The swagger and confidence of the SNJO can be measured by the fact that the piece doesn't even begin with the famous clarinet glissando - it's there, but it doesn't happen until about eight minutes in. So before we even get to one of the most famous opening passages in 20th century music, we've been treated to some fantastic solos and the sound of a big band out to rock the house.
In the first few weeks after I bought this album, I listened to it about a dozen times. It pays back, listen after listen. There is fantastically turbulent solo work from Smith himself, but he rightly hands the spotlight to Brian Kellock, whose mastery of many different kinds of piano style, from stride to post-bop, glues the whole performance together (of jazz pianists, only the late Jaki Byard strikes me as having Kellock's command of such a range of historical styles). All the soloists are excellent, but my favourite bit is the fantastically sassy 'Cuban Fantasia' section, in which Smith picks up on some of the suggestions in the original of Latin rhythms and expands them into a ten-minute groove with superb drumming from Alyn Cosker and a honking solo from tenorist Konrad Wisniewski.
I have only recently begun to discover the riches of Scottish jazz, but the SNJO Rhapsody in Blue is a recording that I would put up against anything. The SNJO is a company of brilliant players who play together with the kind of corporate coherence but effortless individuality that you expect from an ensemble like that of Duke or Miles. I can't recommend this album highly enough. If there is only one thing wrong with it, it's that it's all just one track. This is a problem because once you put it on, you won't want to take it off.

5.0 out of 5 stars album length track - great music at a bargain price,
This review is from: Rhapsody in Blue - Live (MP3 Download)
I'm not the biggest fan of big band jazz, but I loved this.superb version of Rhapsody in Blue. I suspect that Gershwin would have approved. If you have any inclination to download the track, then I don't think you will regret spending your 89p :-)

5.0 out of 5 stars A RHAPSODY IN JAZZ,
Mr. A. D. K. Ogston - See all my reviews
Well the man they call Mr Tone has done it again...
Mr Smith as composer and performer and with the aid of good friend Mr Kellock, as well as the outstanding musicianship of the SNJO have placed on CD a breath of fresh air to the world of Jazz. Rhapsody in Blue is Mr Smith's take on the Gershwin classic, and he comes through it with aplomb.
I have been fortunate enough to witness Tommy Smith Live, and I would do so again and again.
I can only suggest that if you have never heard Tommy Smith, or have just cotton on to this Jazz Icon do so now, you will never look back. He has the musical knowledge to take you on a journey, in whatever form of music he wishes it to go, you will be glad that you went with him.
Cannot wait for his new album so I can take another journey into the mind of a legend.

Mongolia earns a sporting chance with fledgling operation
After Qin Shi Huang Di unified China and became the first emperor of the Qin dynasty in 221BC, he ordered the erection of a wall to keep out the Mongol hordes massing to the north. Some 2,200 years after the Emperorâs wall was started, the nomadsâ descendants are proving markedly less resistant to the commercial forces building in China: the free market is finally establishing itself in Mongolia, epitomised by the fledgling Mongolian Stock Exchange.

My 6 week old twins seem impossible to fill up at bedtime. I breast feed them around 8 to 9 until they seem satisfied and won't latch anymore. They won't go to sleep though and are quite fussy. In short, within the hour I have to give them each a bottle (of breast milk) in order to fill them up so they will sleep. I breast feed all day and don't have this issue. They will eat and either nap right away or stay up and be happy. Is anyone else encountering this? I can't figure out why at bedtime they aren't satisfied with just eating off me? Any suggestions? Also, one feeds every 2 hours and the other every 3...when can I expect to see them start spacing their feedings out a bit?

My girls both "cluster feed"at night just like that but they eventually started doing it so they could sleep longer! 8 hours last night after eating 4oz then an hour later eating another 4oz. They are 4 months old, 2 months adjusted.

Thanks for the reply. Maybe I just need more patience? :) So, hopefully I will start seeing larger gaps between night time feedings here shortly.

Cluster feeding is very common in tge evening. Have you tried kellymom.com?

SSL TLS interception: SSLsplit
SSLsplit is a tool for man-in-the-middle attacks against SSL/TLS encrypted network connections. Connections are transparently intercepted through a network address translation engine and redirected to SSLsplit. SSLsplit terminates SSL/TLS and initiates a new SSL/TLS connection to the original destination address, while logging all data transmitted. SSLsplit is intended to be useful for network forensics and penetration testing.
Transparent and scalable SSL TLS interception
SSLsplit works quite similar to other transparent SSL proxy tools: It acts as a middle man between the client and the actual server. Provided that traffic is being redirected to the server on which SSLsplit is running, SSLsplit picks up SSL connections and pretends to be the server the client is connecting to. To do so, it dynamically generates a certificate and signs it with a the private key of a CA certificate that the client must trust.
If, for example, a client wants to send an e-mail using the secure Gmail SMTP server (smtp.gmail.com on port 465), SSLsplit creates a certificate for "smtp.gmail.com" and thereby pretends to be the Gmail mail server towards the client. In the upstream direction (towards the actual Gmail mail server), SSLsplit connects to the server just like a normal client — forwarding all the traffic the actual client writes on the SSL socket.
So in order for attack to be successful attacker has to be placed somewhere in between the victim machine and the server. This can be done in many different ways:
- Use ARP spoofing to redirect the traffic of the victim by publishing false mappings from the standard gateway MAC address to the attacker's IP address. You do not need physical access to the victim's device to do that. Check out the arpspoof tool.
- Change the default gateway address in the victim's network settings. This is the easiest method if you have access to the victim's device.
- Forging DNS entries with a DNS server that returns the attacker's IP address for certain (or all) domains.
- Redirect traffic for individual domains by modifying entries in the /etc/hosts file of the victim's machine.
- …
The easiest way is to change the default gateway address of your victim's device to the attacker's IP address. That makes sure that all the traffic goes through your machine.
- SSLsplit supports plain TCP, plain SSL, HTTP and HTTPS connections over both IPv4 and IPv6.
- For SSL and HTTPS connections, SSLsplit generates and signs forged X509v3 certificates on-the-fly, based on the original server certificate subject DN and subjectAltName extension.
- SSLsplit fully supports Server Name Indication (SNI) and is able to work with RSA, DSA and ECDSA keys and DHE and ECDHE cipher suites.
- SSLsplit can also use existing certificates of which the private key is available, instead of generating forged ones.
- SSLsplit supports NULL-prefix CN certificates and can deny OCSP requests in a generic way.
- SSLsplit removes HPKP response headers in order to prevent public key pinning.
SSLsplit depends on the OpenSSL and libevent 2.x libraries. The build depends on GNU make and a POSIX.2 environment in
PATH. The (optional) unit tests depend on the check library.
SSLsplit currently supports the following operating systems and NAT engines:
- FreeBSD: pf rdr and divert-to, ipfw fwd, ipfilter rdr
- OpenBSD: pf rdr-to and divert-to
- Linux: netfilter REDIRECT and TPROXY
- Mac OS X: ipfw fwd and pf rdr (experimental)
SSLsplit is or will be available as a package or port on the following systems:
- OpenBSD:
- Arch Linux AUR:
- Fedora:
- Kali:
To install from source:
make test # optional unit tests

% sslsplit -h
Usage: sslsplit [options...] [proxyspecs...]
-c pemfile use CA cert (and key) from pemfile to sign forged certs
-k pemfile use CA key (and cert) from pemfile to sign forged certs
-C pemfile use CA chain from pemfile (intermediate and root CA certs)
-K pemfile use key from pemfile for leaf certs (default: generate)
-t certdir use cert+chain+key PEM files from certdir to target all sites
matching the common names (non-matching: generate if CA)
-O deny all OCSP requests on all proxyspecs
-P passthrough SSL connections if they cannot be split because of
client cert auth or no matching cert and no CA (default: drop)
-g pemfile use DH group params from pemfile (default: keyfiles or auto)
-G curve use ECDH named curve (default: secp160r2 for non-RSA leafkey)
-Z disable SSL/TLS compression on all connections
-s ciphers use the given OpenSSL cipher suite spec (default: ALL:-aNULL)
-e engine specify default NAT engine to use (default: ipfw)
-E list available NAT engines and exit
-u user drop privileges to user (default if run as root: nobody)
-j jaildir chroot() to jaildir (default if run as root: /var/empty)
-p pidfile write pid to pidfile (default: no pid file)
-l logfile connect log: log one line summary per connection to logfile
-L logfile content log: full data to file or named pipe (excludes -S)
-S logdir content log: full data to separate files in dir (excludes -L)
-d daemon mode: run in background, log error messages to syslog
-D debug mode: run in foreground, log debug messages on stderr
-V print version information and exit

If you are not already inside the network perimeter it can be problematic to position yourself between your target and the server. In those cases most penetration testers will first try to use wireless connection and drop a rough dhcp server into the network environment. Keep in mind that SSLsplit is a network proxy and if your network speed is not blazing fast, the target will most definitely notice a network delay - [ie] jumping from 200ms to 2s
