Burma's Thein Sein 'would accept Suu Kyi as president

COURTESY: BBC

MYANMAR: President Thein Sein told the BBC's Hardtalk that he "would accept" Aung San Suu Kyi as president

Burmese leader Thein Sein has told the BBC he would accept Aung San Suu Kyi as president if the people vote for her

The president insisted that the will of the people would be respected whoever they chose in an election due in 2015.

He reiterated his commitment to the country's reform programme, and said he and Ms Suu Kyi were working together.

Thein Sein, a former leader of the military junta that ruled Burma for decades, has overseen a dramatic shift towards a civilian-led government.

Two days ago he spoke at the UN General Assembly, congratulating Ms Suu Kyi on receiving the US Congressional Gold Medal.

In an interview with the BBC's Hardtalk programme, he went even further by talking about the possibility of the Nobel Peace Prize winner becoming president.

"Whether she will become a leader of the nation depends on the will of the people. If the people accept her, then I will have to accept her," he said.

"There isn't any problem between me and Aung San Suu Kyi. We are working together."

But he added that the army, which retains many of the seats in parliament, will continue to play a central role in the country's politics.

Ms Suu Kyi was kept under house arrest for 15 years and repeatedly denounced by the former regime.

Thein Sein's remarks this week have been the warmest from Burma's political leadership since the junta was formally dissolved in March 2011.

But Burma still faces many problems, including a recent outbreak of fighting between Muslim Rohingya people and Buddhist Rakhine people.

The president has repeatedly pledged to end internal strife, but neither he nor Ms Suu Kyi have provided a possible solution to the problems in Rakhine state.

Meanwhile, the president also renewed his appeal for economic sanctions placed on his country to be lifted.

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has already said the US would ease its import ban on Burmese goods.

Many other targeted measures have already been lifted by the US and other Western countries.

South Sudan-Sudan agree on oil but not border

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) ? The presidents of Sudan and South Sudan signed economic and security agreements Thursday that will allow a resumption of oil exports from South Sudan. The two countries also reached deals for a demilitarized zone between their borders and a cessation of all hostilities that brought the countries to the brink of all-out war just a few months ago.

Sudan President Omar al-Bashir and South Sudan President Salva Kiir signed the agreement in Ethiopia's capital, where they have been holding talks since Sunday. The talks were originally scheduled to last only a day. The sides could not agree on a shared border or on how to address the disputed region of Abyei.

Both sides have been under pressure from the U.N. Security Council to resolve the outstanding issues or risk sanctions. South Sudan broke away from Sudan last year after an independence vote that was the culmination of a 2005 peace treaty that ended decades of war that killed more than 2 million people. But the border was never defined, and South Sudan suspended oil production in January after accusing Sudan of stealing its crude, which is transported in pipelines through Sudan. Border clashes escalated in April when South Sudan troops took over an oil town in a region Sudan claims as its own.

With the deal sealed Thursday, officials say only "technical works" remain for oil exports to resume soon. Some officials have said it will take months to clear the pipelines and get oil flowing again.

U.N. Secretary Ban Ki-moon welcomed the agreements, saying Sudan and South Sudan "have written a new page in their common history."

He commended the two presidents "for again choosing peace over war" and said the agreements "provide important building blocks for a stable and prosperous future for both countries." He urged both countries to continue their efforts to resolve the dispute over Abyei through dialogue "and avoid any unilateral decisions that would risk a return to violence."

Ban spoke at a ministerial forum on Sudan and South Sudan on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly's annual high-level meeting that he co-chaired with the African Union.

The forum's final communique commended the two presidents "for demonstrating constructive leadership and political will to reach agreements" and urged them to continue negotiations on Abyei and the disputed border areas.

The security agreement was signed by the two countries' defense ministers, while lead negotiators inked economic and trade agreements. AU mediators say the two sides also signed a deal to let their citizens freely move between, reside in and work in both countries.

Bashir and Kiir spent four days in an apparent effort to overcome the most contentious issues ? finalizing a border and determining the status of the border region of Abyei ? but failed.

Kiir said Thursday was a great day in the history of the Sudan region, though he said the lack of an agreement over Abyei was Khartoum's fault.

"As to Abyei it is very unfortunate that we could not agree," he said. "My government and I accepted unconditionally the proposal of the AUHIP (the African Union High-Level Implementation Panel) . unfortunately my brother Bashir and his government totally rejected the proposal in its totality." Kiir said. He called on the African Union to resolve the dispute urgently and end what he called the continued suffering of the people of Abyei.

The top African Union mediator, former South African President Thabo Mbeki, called the agreement's signing "a giant step forward for both Sudan and South Sudan." Mbeki said a mediation panel work with the Peace and Security Council of the African Union to resolve the Abyei issue.

Mbeki said monitors would be deployed to oversee the agreed-upon buffer zone between the countries. "Monitors are already on standby, the equipment, helicopters and all of that is required for the purpose are also on standby. They are ready," Mbeki said.

In a sign of how closely the U.S. was watching the talks, President Barack Obama welcomed the agreement as soon as it was signed. Obama said the deal breaks new ground in support of two viable states at peace.

"The leaders of Sudan and South Sudan have chosen to take another important step on the path away from conflict toward a future in which their citizens can live in dignity, security, and prosperity. The United States is committed to working with both countries as they implement these agreements and as they seek to resolve those issues that remain outstanding. We are hopeful that today's deal can help spur broader progress on resolving the conflict in Southern Kordofan and Blue Nile, securing unfettered international humanitarian access in those areas, and bringing peace to Darfur," he said, referring to three regions in Sudan.

The freeze on oil production has cost both countries millions of dollars in lost revenue. An economic crisis sent inflation soaring and pushed food prices beyond the reach of ordinary citizens, said Jose Barahona, the top official for the aid group Oxfam in South Sudan, who called the agreements encouraging.

"But the two nations will continue to face an uncertain future until there is agreement on Abyei and the other contested areas, and efforts are stepped up to resolve the conflicts in Southern Kordofan and Blue Nile," he said, referring to two areas in Sudan where residents are seen to be sympathetic to South Sudan. Fighting in the region has sent 170,000 refugees fleeing over the border into South Sudan.

Samson Wasara , a professor of economics at Juba University in South Sudan, said the resumed oil exports ? from which Sudan will take transport fees ? would help ease tensions but that the new demilitarized buffer zone will provoke more conflict if the borders are not clearly defined. He noted that the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea has been a source of tension for decades.

"Proper border demarcation will reduce the chance of encroachment by both countries. But in order to do this, the international community must pressure Sudan and South Sudan to agree to something definite. If this is not sorted out quickly it will lead to later tension," Wasara said.

African Union mediator Thabo Mbeki, Ethiopia's Communications Minister Bereket Simon and diplomats witnessed the agreement's signing ceremony at the Sheraton Addis hotel. The ceremony started with a minute of silence for the late Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, whom Mbeki credited with being instrumental in facilitating the talks.

Report: Facebook deleting fake accounts and likes without mercy

7 hrs.

About a month ago, the folks at Facebook announced that they've increased their efforts to delete fake accounts and likes. And now, according to a report, the results of this mission are really starting to show.

TechCrunch's Josh Constine reports that?a third-party tracking service reveals?that popular Facebook pages are suddenly losing a great number of likes. Constine attributes these drops?? which include a loss of over 96,000 fans on Zynga's "Texas HoldEm Poker" page?? to the purging of fake likes and accounts (or "Operation Unlike," as he dubs it).

To be very clear: The accounts which are being deleted are illegimate accounts, those created for the sake of spam or in order to artificially increase likes on a page.?Additionally, likes which?occurred?because of malware, compromised accounts, deceived users or some sort of purchase ??yes, people really buy and?sell likes in bulk? are being removed.

If you are a legit user, as in a real human being and not a spam bot, you don't have anything new to worry about. In fact, you can breathe a little bit more easily since there should be a lot less spam on the social network.

We have reached out to the folks at Facebook to ask for additional information on "Operation Unlike" and will update if we hear anything of interest.?

Want more tech news?or interesting?links? You'll get plenty of both if you keep up with Rosa Golijan, the writer of this post, by following her on?Twitter, subscribing to her?Facebook?posts,?or circling her?on?Google+.

Answer: Why Are the Coasts So Different? [Search Research]

Answer: Why Are the Coasts So Different?Daniel Russell knows how to find the answers to questions you can't get to with a simple Google query. In his weekly Search Research column, Russell issues a search challenge, then follows up later in the week with his solution?using whatever search technology and methodology fits the bill. This week's challenge: why are the East Coast and West Coast so different?

So many great answers from readers! I'm impressed. This is a legitimately hard question (about which you could write many PhD theses), but people figured it out pretty quickly.

The short answer to: Why?

Because plate tectonics (specifically, the nearby edge of the Pacific plate) force the western coast to be steep without much chance to accumulate the sediments needed to make barrier and fringing islands. By contrast the East Coast has a long, gently sloping grad from coastline to the next plate edge, giving sediment an easy place to accumulate. See the following map (linked from the Wikipedia article on plate tectonics):

Answer: Why Are the Coasts So Different?

Note that the Pacific plater butts up against California, while the North American plate extends way out into the Atlantic. That's a huge difference, and vastly changes the nature of the coastlines as well.

As several readers pointed out, this really is a big topic, and by giving a quick answer like this, we're obscuring many fascinating details. But this isn't a geology blog?it's a blog about search and how to find it effectively. Which is why reading the details of how people searched is so interesting.

A couple of observations.

1. You need to follow the search deeply enough to get a "real" answer. Several people (including people I chatted with) found that the East accumulated sediment, but couldn't say why. The intriguing thing about what they said was that they could make up (that is, rationalize) a story very quickly. But they didn't have any data to backup what they were saying. Word to the wise: When you don't have data, you usually know it. That's when you slip over the slippery slope edge into BS. It's easy to do and we all practice it all the time. But as researchers, we need to be aware of when this happens, and be able to stop ourselves and realize that this is the time for more research.

2. Starting this search was hard. Many people had difficulty getting started with searches that worked. Once they starting including barrier islands and terms like formation or East coast or West coast with barrier island formation they started getting results. When I was doing my searching, I added the context term geology in my searches to limit the number of off-topic results and focus more on scholarly articles.

3. Follow the people chain. I did find several articles that helped me in my search. By starting with [ west coast vs east coast barrier islands ] I found an article comparing the two by Molly Samuels (an environmental reporter). Reading the comments on that article lead me to start thinking about plate tectonics because of a comment left by Brian Romans, a geologist who writes about island formation in his blog, ClasticDetritus.

All this story is by way of pointing out that following the comments in a blog is often a great way to find experts. But be sure to check their bona fides. There are lots of random people commenting authoritatively on blog streams as well. If you can't prove that they actually know something about a topic (usually because of a history of good writing on that topic), then quickly file under "don't know" and move onto people whose comments you can trust.

4. Sometimes search requires... well, searching. Many people reported having to hunt around a bit for a way to phrase their search query to get something useful. This was true for me as well. Sometimes you get lucky and your first query gets you into a space that resolves the question. For something like this, it might take a few probes to find a valuable set of results. Get in, check out the results, if you don't see what you like, move on. But learn as you go?notice the terms used, the publications, and the people involved. Usually that is enough to point you in the direction you need to go.

And...for people who asked me about the black/white map that started this whole question?it was the wonderful map made by the people at Raven Maps. I have no affiliation with them other then being a fan. Here's the link to the map that started the question. You have to see the map in person to get the full effect... but the right hand side of this map is VERY different than the left hand side. Hence my question.

Daniel M. Russell studies the way people search and research?an anthropologist of search, if you will. You can read more from Russell on his SearchReSearch blog, and stay tuned for his weekly challenges (and answers) here on Lifehacker.

Gov. Christie defends proposed NJ tax cut plan

LONG BRANCH, N.J. (AP) ? New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Monday offered his most vigorous defense yet of a plan to trim taxes by 10 percent, saying tax relief has become "even more urgent" because of recent bad economic reports.

Christie's proposal to phase in a modest residential tax cut over three years beginning in January has been at the center of a partisan storm over the state's economic trend.

Democrats agreed to fund the first phase of the cut ? $183 million ? but Christie said they are holding the money political hostage by refusing to release it unless revenue collections meet his optimistic projection of 7.2 percent. Democrats say it would be irresponsible to cut taxes if the state can't afford to do so. Christie vetoed the Democrats' plan for middle-class tax relief in June because it relied on additional tax revenue from the wealthiest 16,000 filers.

"If we want to get the economy moving in New Jersey, we've got to be more competitive with our neighboring states, and we have the highest tax rates in the region," Christie said when asked Monday about the state's finances after an elementary school groundbreaking in Long Branch. "The reason the tax cut is even more urgent now is to try to make us more competitive with these other states."

Sen. Paul Sarlo, a Bergen County Democrat who chairs the Senate Budget Committee, said Democrats persuaded Christie to support a property tax reduction rather than a personal income tax cut, which would disproportionately benefit the wealthy. But, Sarlo said, Democrats have since adopted a wait-and-see approach because of disappointing revenue collections.

Christie has been calling out Democrats for reneging on the deal after he agreed to go along with Senate President Steve Sweeney's proposal for property tax relief. On Monday, the governor upped the ante: If Democrats don't think the state can afford a tax cut, they should propose a corresponding amount in budget cuts to fund the tax break.

Assemblyman Vincent Prieto, a Democrat who chairs the chamber's budget committee, convened a hearing last week to get a handle on how the state finished the 2012 fiscal year on June 30 and how well it's done in the first two months of the new fiscal year. Christie didn't send the state treasurer to testify and on Monday dismissed the effort as a political circus. But Prieto, of Hudson County, said the session shed light on the state's ongoing and significant fiscal problems.

"We all want a tax cut and a successful state, but it must be a responsible tax cut, and we face major fiscal problems unresolved by this administration," Prieto said.

A report released by the treasury showed tax collections are $100 million below projections for the first two months of the fiscal year. The Legislature's budget expert estimates that the state finished 2012 with about $240 million less than projected. The state's unemployment rate hit 9.9 percent in August, well above the national average of 8.1 percent.

Standard & Poor's lowered New Jersey's credit outlook to negative from stable. Two other ratings houses sounded similar warnings about the state's structural budget deficit and ballooning pension fund obligation but retained a stable outlook for the state.

On Monday, Christie railed against what he termed Democrats' obsession with revenue numbers and defended his conditional veto of a bill that would have required prompt monthly reporting of state finances, even though it mirrored an executive order he signed in 2010 requiring the treasury to publish monthly revenue reports.

"When they play political games, that's what they're going to get in return," Christie said of the Democrats. "They know full well revenue numbers aren't final until they're audited."

In the veto message released Friday, Christie proposed including a provision to issue a $10,000 fine to anyone who leaks budget data.

Though the governor's suggestion appeared to be a slap at the Office of Legislative Services, which provides budget information to the Legislature, and lawmakers who provide it to the media, Christie insisted that wasn't so.

"That stuff is not supposed to be disseminated publicly until it's authorized to be disseminated publicly," he said, "and it can have a negative effect on the markets."

iPhone 5 paint may chip, Apple exec says that's 'normal'

18 hrs.

Since the iPhone 5 hit store shelves on Friday, complaints about the propensity of the?device's paint?job to scratch and chip have started flooding in.?But according to an email exchange Apple senior vice president of marketing Phil Schiller allegedly had with a customer such cosmetic issues are "normal."

According to?9to5 Mac's Seth Weintraub, one of the blog's readers sent an email to Schiller, pointing out that his iPhone 5 is showing "some scuffs, scratches and marks throughout the band around the phone."?He asked what he and others who are seeing this issue can do and whether there are any plans to fix it.

The reply Schiller sent, according to this customer, explained that "[a]ny aluminum product may scratch or chip with use, exposing its natural silver color. That is normal."

Schiller's somewhat brief?reply reminds us?of the time when late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs told a?customer who complained about the iPhone 4 reception issues he experienced when his hand covered the device's antennas that he should "[j]ust avoid holding it that way."

Of course, that email preceded what is now referred to as "Antennagate" and?a press conference during which Apple addressed these reception issues and offered every iPhone 4 owner a free "Bumper" case.

Just like the iPhone 4 reception issues reported back then, the cosmetic issues reported in the last few days?appear to only affect some iPhone 5 owners. NBC News tech?editor Wilson Rothman and I got the?iPhone 5 on the same day,?but while his is already showing wear (as you can see in the images above) after spending time in and out of his jeans pocket, my own device, also black, is still in pristine condition. And that's after it?spent a lot of time in a purse pocket along with other smartphones, loose change and my house keys.

Because of the strange way our experiences parallel the iPhone 4 reception woes, we can't help but wonder if we'll soon be hearing more on this,?possibly even from Apple, which has yet to reply to our inquiry. Given the fact that you can't upgrade hardware as easily as software (or maps), there's certainly a chance of a "Paintgate" in our near future.

Want more tech news?or interesting?links? You'll get plenty of both if you keep up with Rosa Golijan, the writer of this post, by following her on?Twitter, subscribing to her?Facebook?posts,?or circling her?on?Google+.

89% Compliance

All Critics (82) | Top Critics (31) | Fresh (73) | Rotten (9)

The point of Compliance, which caused walkouts and shouting matches when it premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, is how we are programmed to do things that go against our natural instincts as long as we believe we have the law on our side.

This is one insistent film, more evocative of human behavior than movies that take fewer risks ever could be.

Like a John Hughes movie hijacked by Roman Polanski, this troubling indie effort lays bare the sadomasochism of the American workplace.

Zobel, a second-time feature filmmaker, has put together a skillful, sympathetic but unsparing re-enactment of a small-scale atrocity, and his cast plays it out with natural, understated performances.

Zobel's masterful direction and screenplay heighten the distress of authority figures possessing unseen persuasion over naive employees, exposing a disturbing and haunting look at what some workers are willing to do in order to follow orders.

This is a well-made film, with plausible performances by all the leads, especially Ann Dowd. We feel we know people like this.

One of the most deeply disturbing movies of recent vintage.

There's the adage that life is nasty, brutish and short. It's even worse when you're half-naked and locked in a supply room with your boss.

Its skillfully constructed scene-setting montages, its fraught, gliding camera moves and attractive compositions seem judgmental, suggesting the filmmakers are superior to and more sensitive, certainly, than the characters.

'Compliance' takes an extremely unpleasant and nauseating experience for everyone involved and puts this masterful spin on it to make it not only watchable, but a really solid piece of film overall.

There's a humanity here, even for the restaurant manager. But that still doesn't make "Compliance" easy to ingest.

... a sadomasochistic mind-trip ... It has the lingering impact of a gruesome freeway pileup ? you don't want to look, but you can't help yourself.

Compliance will leave you shocked and offended, but it misses out on any opportunity to be anything outside of a dramatization.

Compliance is a difficult film to watch -- walkouts have been reported at more than one screening -- but it's also a calculating and intimate deconstruction of the greater social ills that our fast-food nation faces as a whole.

This psychodrama of ill-advised behavior may well leave you feeling dirty...for what you've watched helplessly and perhaps for what you've countenanced as an American citizen.

So long as you can tolerate the frustration it fosters, it's hard not to appreciate such intelligent provocation.

Perhaps the most disturbing movie of the year. Not a horror film, but given that we can't excuse the behavior as belonging to illegal aliens or felons eluding of the law ... maybe it's a new strain of horror after all.

For once, the title card "Based on true events" is not some cheap gimmick to lend a story importance; it is a despondent cry of shock, disbelief, and, above all, outrage.

Bravely uncomfortable and sure to inspire heated post-movie (and likely mid-movie) conversation, Compliance is haunting, positively enraging when it sinks in that this was no nightmare, but a reality.

A disturbing, fact-based look at the ways in which people can be bullied into bowing to the demands of authority figures.

We think we're more world-wise than these people and that this could never happen and then Zobel brilliantly forces us to come to terms with those judgments.

New SARS-like virus detected in Middle East

(AP) ? Global health officials are closely monitoring a new respiratory virus related to SARS that is believed to have killed at least one person in Saudi Arabia and left a Qatari citizen in critical condition in London.

The germ is a coronavirus, from a family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as SARS, the severe acute respiratory syndrome that killed some 800 people, mostly in Asia, in a 2003 epidemic.

In the latest case, British officials alerted the World Health Organization on Saturday of the new virus in a man who transferred from Qatar to be treated in London. He had recently traveled to Saudi Arabia and is now being treated in an intensive care unit after suffering kidney failure.

WHO said virus samples from the patient are almost identical to those of a 60-year-old Saudi national who died earlier this year. The agency isn't currently recommending travel restrictions and said the source of infection remains unknown. Still, the situation has raised concerns ahead of next month's annual Hajj pilgrimage, which brings millions of people to Saudi Arabia from around the world.

Health officials don't know yet whether the virus could spread as rapidly as SARS did or if it might kill as many people. SARS, which first jumped to humans from civet cats in China, hit more than 30 countries worldwide after spreading from Hong Kong.

"It's still (in the) very early days," said Gregory Hartl, a WHO spokesman. "At the moment, we have two sporadic cases and there are still a lot of holes to be filled in."

He added it was unclear how the virus spreads. Coronaviruses are typically spread in the air but Hartl said scientists were considering the possibility that the patients were infected directly by animals. He said there was no evidence yet of any human-to-human transmission.

"All possible avenues of infection are being explored right now," he said.

No other countries have so far reported any similar cases to WHO, he said, and so far there is no connection between the cases except for a history of travel in Saudi Arabia.

Hartl said the first patient may have had an underlying condition but it probably didn't make him more susceptible to catching the virus.

Other experts said it was unclear how dangerous the virus is.

"We don't know if this is going to turn into another SARS or if it will disappear into nothing," said Michael Osterholm, a flu expert at the University of Minnesota. He said it was crucial to determine the ratio of severe to mild cases.

Osterholm said it was worrying that at least one person with the disease had died. "You don't die from the common cold," he said. "This gives us reason to think it might be more like SARS," which killed about 10 percent of the people it infected.

Britain's Health Protection Agency and WHO said in statements that the 49-year-old Qatari national became ill on Sept. 3, having previously traveled to Saudi Arabia. He was transferred from Qatar to Britain on Sept. 11 and is being treated in an intensive care unit at a London hospital for problems including kidney failure. Respiratory viruses aren't usually known to cause serious kidney problems.

In Qatar, Mohammed bin Hamid Al Thani of the Public Health Department said the patient was in Saudi Arabia for Ramadan during the summer and fell ill after returning to Qatar. Doctors could not immediately identify the virus and decided he should be treated in London.

A public health official, Abdullakef al-Khal, said there is no indication that the patient's family or others were infected.

"There is no special alert for now," he said. "We are being vigilant."

David Heymann, chairman of the Health Protection Agency, said the new virus didn't appear that similar to SARS.

"It isn't as lethal as SARS and we don't know too much about its transmissibility yet," he said. "If people are getting infected, they aren't getting serious disease."

Heymann said none of the health workers involved in treating the Qatari patient had fallen ill.

Saudi officials said they were concerned that the upcoming Hajj pilgrimage next month could provide more opportunities for the virus to spread. They advised pilgrims to keep their hands clean and wear masks in crowded places.

The Hajj has previously sparked outbreaks of diseases including the flu, meningitis and polio.

Is prepaying education loan the right decision? | Your Daily Update ...

Joseph?s decision to prepay her student loan should be based on factors that determine the best use of her income. If her financial well-being is going to be enhanced by paying off the loan, then she should consider it. For this, she needs to evaluate the relative merits of the uses to which her current income can be put.

Joseph must understand that student loan is a low-cost debt and she can also claim the interest paid on the loan as deduction from her taxable income. Given these benefits, it makes more sense to service this loan through its term according to the repayment schedule rather than prepay it at this stage. Instead, Joseph should use her excess income to build security for her financial situation. She should create an emergency fund on a priority so that she can use it if her income falls short at any time. She should assess the amount she can save every month and use it to create a corpus that she can use for other large purchases, such as a car, that she is considering. This is likely to be funded by a high-cost loan, and if she manages to save money, it will help her reduce the loan that she will have to take.

Apart from her immediate needs, Joseph should also start saving for her long-term goals as her income improves. Joseph should be careful about not doing anything that will negatively impact her credit profile. She should make sure that she has sufficient funds for her student loan and EMI repayments, as well as to meet her credit card bills in full. A bad credit score will make it difficult for her to get loans on good terms when she needs them for bigger purchases. A properly serviced student loan, on the other hand, will help her build a history of good repayment, which will lead to a good credit profile and score.

Box Office Guru Wrapup: Three New Releases Vie For Top Spot

This weekend two new releases were in a dead heat for the number one spot while a third was very close behind making the race for the box office crown too close to call based on Sunday estimates. Final grosses to be reported on Monday will determine chart positions, but overall the North American box office remained dull once again posting double-digit declines from the same frame in recent years.

The horror film House at the End of the Street headlined by Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence made a play for the top spot with an estimated opening weekend of $13M driven by teenage girls and young women who have been underserved in recent weeks by Hollywood's latest menu of action flicks, older-skewing dramas, and kidpics. The Relativity Media release scared up a decent $4,217 average from 3,083 theaters which may be good enough to lead a sluggish frame once final grosses are tabulated. The suspense thriller was produced for just $10M with the distributor acquiring domestic rights for $2.5M and kicking in a targeted P&A campaign.

According to studio research, House's audience was 61% female and 70% under 25. Timing worked in the thriller's favor as The Possession was the only scary movie to connect with moviegoers over the last few months and with Halloween right around the corner, the target audience was in the mood for a creepy flick. The PG-13 rating also opened the door to business from younger teens. Reviews were mostly negative and audiences polled by CinemaScore gave it a B. But even steep declines in the weeks ahead would leave House in a profitable state especially with a promising home entertainment audience to still tap into down the road.

Also claiming first place with an estimated $13M was the LAPD cop thriller End of Watch which averaged a respectable $4,762 from 2,730 theaters, beating expectations. The R-rated pic starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pe?a scored glowing reviews which helped to attract an adult audience for Open Road Films. The distributor projected a 35% Saturday-to-Sunday decline compared to the larger 45% forecasted by Relativity for House. Sunday football tends to affect male-skewing films more than female-skewing ones so final grosses to be reported on Monday could very well see the fright flick stay ahead of the cop saga. Watch earned a good A- from CinemaScore and coupled with solid reviews could have a nice shelf life.

Clint Eastwood's latest film, the baseball scout drama Trouble with the Curve, technically finished in third place according to weekend estimates. However with a slim margin of $280,000 separating it from the two other newbies, the Warner Bros. release is still in contention to clinch the number one spot when all ticket sales are counted after Sunday's close of business. The PG-13 film reported an estimate of $12.7M from 3,212 theaters for a mild $3,960 average. Co-starring Amy Adams, Justin Timberlake, and John Goodman, Curve played to an older adult audience like most of Eastwood's films do.

Reviews were mixed for Trouble which was the actor's first starring vehicle in 19 years which he didn't also direct; his longtime producing partner Robert Lorenz made his helming debut here. The opening was nowhere close to the $29.5M that Clint's last acting venture Gran Torino grossed in its first weekend of wide release in January 2009. That film failed to score a single Oscar nomination, but was helped by buzz that it was probably going to be the legendary star's last acting gig. Instead it bowed much closer to the $12.3M of Million Dollar Baby in its first frame of national expansion in January 2005. Curve came into the marketplace with much lighter fanfare, zero awards chatter, no must-see buzz, and so it was never expected to draw huge numbers. A lack of strong reviews probably had a significant impact on the mature target audience too.

Rounding out the top five were last weekend's two new openers which fell in different manners. The Disney/Pixar 3D release of Finding Nemo slipped 43% to an estimated $9.4M putting the ten-day tally at $30M giving the fish flick a lifetime domestic cume of $369.7M. The decline was not as good as The Lion King's 27% from this weekend a year ago, but was better than the 51% for Beauty and the Beast last January when it came off of a holiday weekend.

Falling sharply from first place, Sony's fivequel Resident Evil: Retribution tumbled 68% to an estimated $6.7M making for the largest sophomore drop yet for the decade-old franchise. It was just slightly worse than the last three films which all fell by more than 60% in their second weekends. Retribution has shot up $33.5M in North America in its first ten days and looks headed for a domestic finish of just under $45M, the smallest amount in the series since the first installment in 2002. But international business was still solid with the frame collecting an estimated $30.5M boosting the overseas cume to $103.4M and worldwide to $136.9M (76% from offshore territories led by Japan) with major markets Italy and the U.K. to still open next week.

Lionsgate failed to draw in young men with its 3D action offering Dredd which opened in sixth place with an estimated $6.3M from 2,506 locations for a slow $2,514 average. Competition from other action films as well as football were factors as was the memory of Stallone's poorly-received take on the comic book character in Judge Dredd from 1995. Repelling the ladies, Dredd skewed 75% male and 69% to those 25 and older. Although many film critics gave the R-rated sci-fi flick good reviews, audiences were not as thrilled as the CinemaScore grade was a mediocre B and its 8% Friday-to-Saturday bump was the smallest increase of any pic in the top ten.

The Weinstein Co. enjoyed a good national expansion for its arthouse hit The Master starring Joaquin Phoenix and Phillip Seymour Hoffman and claimed eighth place with an estimated $5M from 788 locations (up from five last weekend) for a respectable $6,345 average. The critically-acclaimed cult leader pic fared slightly better than director Paul Thomas Anderson's last film There Will Be Blood which didn't expand to this level until its fifth weekend when it grossed $4.9M from 885 sites for a $5,502 average. Master hopes to follow Blood and become a contender in the Oscar race for Picture and Actor. It will have a long line of worthy titles to deal with over the next three months, though, competing for attention during awards season. Cume stands at $6.1M.

The horror hit The Possession fell 54% to an estimated $2.6M giving Lionsgate $45.3M to date. Dropping 47% to an estimated $2.3M was the crime drama Lawless which has banked $34.5M so far for The Weinstein Co. The leggy kidpic ParaNorman rounded out the top ten with an estimated $2.3M, off just 26%, for a $52.6M cume.

The top ten films grossed an estimated $73.4M which was down 29% from last year when The Lion King 3D remained at number one with $21.9M; and down 17% from 2010 when Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps opened on top with $19M.
