Lohan house arrest: Lindsay Wants to Reject Offer

Lohan house arrest: Lindsay Wants to Reject offer A Lindsay Lohan house arrest plea deal was making headlines national celebrity news tonight, as TMZ reported this Saturday, March 9, that Lindsay Lohan has been offered a “unique option” in her plea deal. According to sources, the troubled star was offered to be under house arrest for her probation violation case and lying to police, but LiLo is allegedly not taking the deal. Under the headline, “Lohan house arrest: Lindsay Wants to Reject Offer”, insiders add this weekend that city attorneys have lessened their positions on Lindsay Lohan’s charges. Rather than sending her to a 90-day lockdown rehab center, Lohan instead could take a three month house arrest instead. Lilo’s lawyer, Mark Heller, has reportedly told prosecutors that Lohan may take an unknown amount of time on house arrest, though he seems to be working a set time out with those prosecutors at the moment. The issue, however, seems to be that in the Lindsay Lohan house

Merck drug side effects: Failed, Taken off Market

A view of the Merck & Co. campus in Linden, New Jersey March 9, 2009. Well Not expected serious side effects arise in a huge study of a Merck & Co long-acting niacin drug aimed at raising good HDL cholesterol, according to data released on Saturday, possibly adding another nail to the coffin of niacin therapy for heart patients. Merck has already given up on the drug that combines extended-release niacin with an experimental agent called laropiprant, designed to prevent the uncomfortable facial flushing associated with niacin. When it was announced that the drug called Tredaptive had failed to prevent heart attacks, strokes, death and other complications in heart patients also taking drugs to lower bad LDL cholesterol, Merck said it would not seek U.S. approval and would stop selling it in the dozens of other countries where it was already available.

Fastest Rolls Royce Revealed

Add caption Rolls-Royce unveiled the brand’s fastest production model ever, but being that this is a Rolls-Royce we’re talking about, the Wraith isn’t exactly a sports car. The Wraith is very big, weighing about 5000 pounds, despite being only a two-door car. It was among the hundreds of vehicles that were unveiled this week at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland, including new models from the likes of Ferrari and Lamborghini. Despite its heft, the Wraith is capable of surprisingly respectable performance along with the luxury features that owners have come to expect from a Rolls. With its 624 horsepower V12 engine, the Wraith can hurtle from zero to 60 miles an hour in just 4.4 seconds. The car’s 8-speed transmission gets information from a GPS unit so that it can select gears based in the road ahead. For instance, it can downshift the moment a hill or curve is approached.
