Mel Gibson Awarded Increased Custody of Lucia

Mel Gibson may be an anti-Semitic and homophobic man with serious anger issues, but his parenting is nothing but exemplary in the court’s eyes. Judge Scott Gordon modified the actor’s existing custody agreement with Oksana Grigorieva late Thursday, giving Mel MORE custody, not less. Mel will be allowed more time with Lucia, with the increase in by hours. Added up, the additional hours total a little over one more day a week. These two have been feuding for what seems like forever . According to the agreement Mel and Oksana Grigorieva signed in May, both have joint physical and legal custody of Lucia. Under that deak, Mel had visitation rights a total of six days – with three overnight visits – every two weeks. The judge has now increased Mel’s face time slightly. Oksana, who alleges that Mel attacked her earlier this year, and who Mel alleges tried to extort him , wanted Gordon to strip Mel of overnight visits altogether and to only give him monitored visitation. Not exactly how it played out. Criminal probes into both parties are ongoing. Gordon said that the change was made for the best interests of Lucia … so make of that what you will.

A Bike With Baggage: Biomega and Puma’s New Mopion

All photos: Biomega Puma The Puma Bike family, (as designed by KiBiSi, manufactured and sold by Biomega ), has a new sibling. The Mopion is an urban cargo bicycle with a bit of twist. It has large cargo capacity, approaching the likes of a Long John style bike, yet packages it in a frame more closely resembling a stretched out version of the more traditional diamond frame city bike. This hybrid combination of bike designs should mean it will heft loads of gear or groceries more easily than than y… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Ask Pablo: Is My Smart Meter Going To Kill Me?

Image Source: Juverna Dear Pablo: I have been hearing a lot of controversy around smart meters. Are the additional radio waves emitted by them a danger to my family? A “smart meter” is an electric or gas meter that electronically transmits meter readings to the utility. Smart meters are only a small component often touted, but rarely understood “Smart Grid.” Recently smart meters have been getting a lot more attention, primarily due to a small, yet vocal group of concerned Pacific… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Free Lindsay: Lohan Likely to Leave Rehab Early!

So much for 90 days in jail and 90 more in rehab. Try about 15 per. Friday, we reported on the very real possibility that a troubled Lindsay Lohan would be released from rehab at UCLA Neuropsychiatric Hospital on the early side. Now it looks like it’s actually going down that way, as early as this week, according to sources close to the situation. She may be a free woman by the weekend! Lindsay’s doctors have not written a final report, but have (apparently) concluded the actress’ psychiatric problems are not nearly as severe as first thought. There were indications Lindsay was bipolar but that proved not to be the case. Additionally, her drug addiction issues are not as severe as initially believed. The powers that be apparently think Lindsay Lohan is better already . Lohan’s issues with Adderall are well documented, but the doctors reportedly don’t think it requires more inpatient care – outpatient care may begin soon. The new judge in the case must approve any early release, of course, and you can bet that Linds’ lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, will request that shortly. After all, Lindsay’s an inspiration in there. If medical professionals think releasing her is a good idea, the judge will almost certainly go along with it. But would more rehab do her additional good? We understand she causes a circus for UCLA, but we think she’s a troubled individual who can’t handle life on her own, and releasing her into the care of enablers like that wretch Dina Lohan will only make things worse. But that’s just us. Tell us what you think: Should L-squared be released so soon?

Big Brother Boneheads Matt McDonald, Adam Jasinski Running Enormous Drug Ring?

The saga of former Big Brother contestant Matt McDonald has gone from bad, to worse, to practically unbelievable in the span of about 72 hours. Matt was arrested for beating his pregnant girlfriend last weekend, but reached a new low – we thought – by harassing her to drop the charges. By phone, from behind bars ! Dude now faces the additional, serious charge of witness intimidation … but oh, if only that were it for ol’ Matty today. He’s got far worse issues. While investigating Matt for the above incident(s), authorities tied him to a conspiracy to distribute oxycodone … with a former Big Brother co-star. These Big Brother bums are headed to the big house . Adam Jasinski , if you recall, won Season 9, and was indicted in federal court in Massachusetts last year for starting drug ring with the winnings. Now, according to a new indictment, Matt McDonald was involved in the alleged drug ring run by Adam Jasinski from April 2008 to October 2009. McDonald and Jasinski were allies inside the Big Brother house … and apparently after, after Adam pooled his $500,000 prize into mucho drugs. If convicted of the drug charge, McDonald faces up to 20 years in prison and a $1 million fine. Jasinski? Probably even more than that. Wow.
