Gaddafi’s Son Captured, Scared & Without A Fight – [Reuters]

Muammar Gaddafi’s son Saif al-Islam has been captured in Libya’s southern desert, scared and with only a handful of supporters, by fighters who vow to hold him in the mountain town of Zintan until there is a government to hand him over to.

Crowds across the country fired guns and hooted car horns to celebrate the seizure of the British-educated 39-year-old, who was once seen as a future ruler of the oil-producing desert state.

The capture was the “final act of the Libyan drama,” said a spokesman for the country’s interim government, nine months after the start of the uprising that ended Muammar Gaddafi’s brutal one-man rule.

Netflix to Back Arrested Development – [NY Times]

Nearly six years after Fox canceled the quirky sitcom “Arrested Development,” the series is being resuscitated by a new distributor, Netflix, the online streaming service. Netflix said on Friday that it had struck a deal for new episodes with the makers of the show, 20th Century Fox Television and Imagine Television. The episodes are to start appearing on the service in 2013. “Bringing a series back from cancellation almost never happens, but then, ‘Arrested’ always was about as unconventional as they get, so it seems totally appropriate that this show that broke the mold is smashing it to pieces once again,” the founders of Imagine, Ron Howard and Brian Grazer, said in a statement.
