WE JUST BLUE OURSLEVES

Get ready for a party as fun as one of Lucille Bluth's interventions. The fourth season of Arrested Development premiered at 3 a.m. EDT on Sunday, with a full, 15-episode season appearing all at once on Netflix—seven years after Fox cancelled the show. Arrested Development is expected to use up more than 5 percent of Netflix's bandwidth on Sunday, and Netflix already accounts for about a third of the Internet's bandwidth. The Daily Beast rounds up the best bleeped moments from the show's first three seasons.

RECOVERY

President Obama on Sunday will travel to Moore, Oklahoma, the town devastated by a deadly tornado that killed 24 and damaged an estimated 12,000 homes. The White House said the president wants to get a firsthand look at the wreckage, and he will also attend a service at Moore's First Baptist Church on Sunday. On Saturday, three public high schools in Moore held back-to-back graduation ceremonies at the Cox Convention Center in Oklahoma City. "I wouldn't want to be in any other place," Brooke Potter, 18, told the Associated Press about leaving Oklahoma, despite the deadly tornadoes. "It's our roots. Tornadoes are a part of life here."

REVERSAL

After more than two decades in prison for killing her son, an Arizona woman won her appeal, and could be freed in a matter of days. The Daily Beast's Terry Greene Sterling reports on the stunning reversal of fortune.

DANGEROUS

Two rockets hit a Hezbollah district of Beirut on Sunday, injuring at least five, as tensions from Syria are running at an all-time high. The rocket attack came just one day after Lebanon's Hezbollah leader pledged to assist Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the bloody civil war, and dozens of Hezbollah militants are believed to have been killed in recent fighting in Syria. An unnamed Lebanese security source told the AFP that the missiles were Grad rockets, a Soviet-style weapon. At least 40 people reportedly died in fighting in Qusayr, Syria on Saturday, one of the worst days of fighting since the beginning of the civil war. One activist told Al Jazeera that "an average of 40 shells per minute" hit the strategic town, which links Damascus to the Mediterranean Sea.

THWARTED

An Oregon teen is being charged as an adult in a plot to attack his school that was allegedly "forged and inspired by the model of the Columbine shootings," prosecutors said Saturday. Grant Acord, 17, also faces six counts of manufacturing and possessing a destructive device after police found six bombs in a secret compartment of his room. Benton County District Attorney John Haroldson said Acord had written plans, a checklist, and a specific timeline for the attack, although no bombs were found at Acord's high school. Police arrested Acord on Thursday after receiving a tip about his plans. He is being held at a juvenile facility is likely to be arraigned on Tuesday.
