Hey, Adele, this Bud's not for you

By Courtney Hazlett

Oh, how we love the demands of celebrities, especially when they're spelled out in their backstage riders. As far as these things go, the Smoking Gun's newly obtained rider for singer Adele actually isn't that bad. She asks for people receiving comped tickets to donate a minimum of $20 for charity upon pickup, and this is non-negotiable. ?There will be no exception to this rule,? according to the document. The cash that comes from donations is earmarked for UK-based charity Sands, which aims to support "anyone affected by the death of a baby and promoting research to reduce the loss of babies? lives.?

But, for as charitable as Adele may be, there's one area where she's not to be messed with: beer. For after the show, the singer requests 12 bottles of ?best quality European lager beer. ie Becks, Stella Artois, Peroni etc. North American beer is NOT acceptable.? What did North American beer ever do to Adele?

Vietnam: 100,000 killed, hurt by abandoned weapons (AP)

HANOI, Vietnam ? More than 100,000 Vietnamese have been killed or injured by land mines or other abandoned explosives since the Vietnam War ended nearly 40 years ago, and clearing all of the country will take decades more, officials said Monday.

"The war's painful legacy, which includes hundreds of thousands of tons of bombs and unexploded ordnance, continues to cause painful casualties every day," Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung told a U.N.-sponsored conference on ways to deal with the problem.

Dung said 42,132 people have been killed and 62,163 others wounded by land mines, bombs and other explosives since the war ended in 1975. The United States used about 16 million tons of bombs and ammunition while allied with the former South Vietnam government, which was defeated by northern communist fighters who reunified the country.

U.S. Ambassador David Shear told the conference that the United States has provided $62 million to help Vietnam cope with "this painful legacy."

"Our efforts to help Vietnam deal with this difficult problem have helped build the mutual trust and understanding between the U.S. and Vietnam that has allowed our bilateral relationship to flourish," he said.

Bui Hong Linh, vice minister of labor, war invalids and social affairs, said explosives remain on about 16 million acres (6.6 million hectares) of land, or more than one-fifth of the country.

He said only 740,000 acres (300,000 hectares) or 5 percent of the contaminated area has been cleared and a recently approved government plan calls for clearance of an additional 1.2 million acres (500,000 hectares) that would cost $595 million in the next five years.

In his book Spontaneous Happiness, Dr. Andrew Weil writes of an 'integrative' approach to mental health, warding off mild and moderate depression with an anti-inflammatory diet, exercise and activities such as yoga and meditation, rather than antidepressants.

Europe Finds ?1.3 Billion Needed for ITER Overruns
For more than 18 months the European Union has been trying to find ?1.3 billion to pay for its 2012-13 contribution to the ITER fusion reactor, a ?16 billion international project now being built in France. Today a deal was struck that meets those obligations by taking most of the needed cash from agricultural subsidies.
