WEEKEND BOX OFFICE:  No surprise that Toy Story 3 repeats at the top with 59 million, as 3-D ticket prices kept Pixar's drop at 46 percent.  The flick blew past the 200 million budget in nine days and now stands at 226.5 million in domestic receipts.  Grown-Ups places with 41 million, an opening more in line with Adam Sandler's movies before Funny People and Bedtime Stories.  Knight & Day showed with 20 million (28 million since opening last Wed) and that is bad news for Cruise, Cameron Diaz and the studio, which spent 120 million in production.  It still may make money overseas, where Cruise has less stink on him (a la Russell Crowe).  Karate Kid dropped to the fourth slot with 15.4 million, but has already made over 15 million on a 40 million budget, and should do well overseas as the Summer progresses.  The A-Team rounds out the Top Five with six million, and will have to look abroad to make money. This week: Teenage Vampires!

IRAN: More than a year and a half after he was arrested in Tehran, Hossein Derakhshan, an influential Iranian-Canadian blogger also known as Hoder, was put on trial on Wednesday, according to Iranian news reports and statements by his family posted online.

CIA DIRECTOR Leon Panetta Sunday dismissed reports that the network of Sirajuddin Haqqani, a major element in the insurgency in Afghanistan and an ally of al-Qaeda, was open to a Pakistan-brokered reconciliation process that could usher the group into a power-sharing arrangement in Kabul. Panetta also said Iran has enough low-enriched uranium for two nuclear bombs but that it would take two years for the country to build the bombs and a weapon-delivery system. All such news should be read in light of the CIA's history at getting this sort of intell wrong, for decades and decades.  Not to be harsh, of course; it's not an easy job.
