WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Transformers 3 retains the crown with 47 million on a 52 percent drop.  It's hard to compare to the performance of Transformers 2, which opened the weekend before July 4, but the bots have cleared over half a billion worldwide. Horrible Bosses opened promisingly in second with 28.1 million against a 35 million production budget (it's likely to break the 100 million mark before it's done).  Zookeeper opened much less promisingly in third with 21 million against an 80 million production budget (it's likely to stall around 75 million and depend on overseas receipts to save it).  Cars 2 stabilizes a bit in fourth with 15.2 million on a 42 percent drop; it continues to lag the original by 7 or 8 million.  Bad Teacher rounds out the Top Five with 9 million, and ultimately may break 100 million on a 20 million budget.  Below the fold Larry Crowne and Green Lantern continue to flail, especially the latter.

PAKISTAN ought to share its nuclear expertise and services? What could go wrong?

AFGHANISTAN: Insurgent attacks have started to decline on an annual basis for the first time in up to five years, defying predictions by intelligence analysts, General David Petraeus said on Saturday.  Afghan intelligence officials in the province of Nuristan have accused the central government and Nato forces in particular of ignoring insurgents there and in other strategically important areas close to the Pakistani border.
