<b>Meson Phenomenology in a Bethe-Salpeter Equation Approach</b>
We investigate aspects of the effective interaction in a rainbow-ladder truncated meson model of QCD within a covariant Landau-gauge Bethe-Salpeter-equation approach. Based upon past success for the light- [1] as well as heavy-quark [2] domains, we discuss the range of applicability and features of a combined effort with comprehensive phenomenological claim and goals.

<b>Consequences of a Dressed Quark-Gluon Vertex in Heavy-Light Mesons
</b>
We study mesons in a Bethe-Salpeter-equation approach. In particular, we investigate corrections to the rainbow-ladder truncation using a very simple model used previously to study aspects and consequences of a dressed quark-gluon vertex in mesons with equal-mass constituents[1,2]. Looking at the meson mass spectrum we attempt to find patterns in - as well as to quantify - corrections to the well-established rainbow-ladder truncation, generated in a systematic way. [1] A.
