'Transformers' unearths $100M debut at box office

LOS ANGELES (AP) — "Transformers: Age of Extinction" is ruling the box office.

The fourth installment in filmmaker Michael Bay's morphing robots series earned $100 million in North America during its opening weekend, making it the biggest debut for a movie this year, according to studio estimates Sunday. The Paramount blockbuster outperformed "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" and its $95 million inauguration in April.

"Age of Extinction" also earned $201.3 million from 37 international territories, specifically making $90 million in China, where it was partially filmed and co-produced by partners like the state-owned China Film Group and the China Movie Channel.

"With almost half of the international total coming from China, it shows how important that marketplace is to the worldwide box office," said Paul Dergarabedian, senior analyst for box-office tracker Rentrak. "This film has really capitalized on all fronts."

"Age of Extinction" stars Mark Wahlberg and Nicola Peltz as a human father-daughter duo who aid the shape-shifting robots from the Hasbro toy franchise. Besides the addition of a new human crew, the sequel also introduces the popular Transformers characters based on the likenesses of dinosaurs.

"I think putting Mark Wahlberg front and center accomplished what we wanted to do, and that's re-energize the franchise," Paramount vice chairman Rob Moore said. "He appeals to audiences, both critically and as an action star."

"Age of Extinction" topped the previous entry in the series, "Dark of the Moon," which took in $97.9 million during its opening weekend in 2011, but failed to eclipse the $108.9 million debut of the second film, "Revenge of the Fallen."

The first three "Transformers" films starred Shia LaBeouf as a teenager who befriends hulking alien robots Optimus Prime (voiced by Peter Cullen) and Bumblebee. The original 2007 film made $70.5 million and went on to domestically gross $319.2 million.

"Age of Extinction" was distantly followed at the North American box office by a trio of sophomore efforts: "22 Jump Street" in second place with $15.4 million; "How To Train Your Dragon 2" in third place with $13.1 million; and "Think Like a Man Too" in fourth place with $10.4 million.

"The 'Transformers' movies are known for being released around the Fourth of July, so this really ensures the film will have a strong second weekend," said Dergarabedian. "The only movie opening ahead of next weekend in wide release is the Melissa McCarthy comedy 'Tammy' and that will be counterprogramming to 'Transformers.'"

Top 10 Hints to improve visiting to your webpage

1-

Submit your site.

After you publish, make sure search engines know you're ready for visitors.

Submitting your site puts your business in the running for a place in their search results (though not even we can guarantee if or where your site will appear).
Don't wait! Search engine indexing can take weeks, sometimes longer, so go ahead and publish and submit your site, even if you've got some polishing to do.
We've made submission easy — in fact, if you build your site with Site Solution, we'll submit you to Yahoo, Google, MSN, and Ask automatically when you publish. If you're using another site building tool, you can easily submit yourself: If your site is published, you'll see a "submit" link both at the top of this page and in the Site Traffic module of your Home tab. You can resubmit every 48 hours

2-

Eliminate orphan pages.

Make sure your web pages are linked together.

Search engines review your site by following links from your home page, through all of your subpages — and they may miss orphan pages, or pages that are not connected to your home page in some way.
If you use Site Solution to build your site, and haven't uploaded other pages on your own, you're all set. If you're using another tool, just make sure visitors can reach all of your pages by clicking links in your home or subpages. And don't forget to test your links — if they're broken, neither search engines nor visitors will arrive at their destinations.

3-

Use meaningful titles.

Help search engines — and visitors — understand the purpose of each page.

Title tags appear at the top of the browser when a web page is viewed, and in a visitor's bookmarks menu, if the page is saved to bookmarks or favorites. Search engines also use titles to index web sites, and often display them in search engine results.
Site Solution will create title tags for you automatically, based on your business name and the page title (which you can edit anytime). If you're using another site building tool, you can add title tags yourself.

No matter what your business, give some thought to choosing a concise,descriptive title for each page of your web site, making sure it includes one or two keywords from that page. See more tips on writing titles.

4-

Add keywords.

Keywords won't make or break your search engine ranking, but they can help your site stand out.

Your visitors won't see your keywords, but search engines sometimes use keywords to understand the relevance of your site to particular searches.
Pick keywords you expect potential customers would enter in a search engine to find you. Be specific. Your keywords should also appear in the text on your page.See tips on choosing keywords.
Site Solution will create keywords for you automatically, including simple information like your address and product names, but no matter which tool you're using, we recommend that you devise and add your own keywords (and be sure to update your keywords as your page content changes.).
Learn how to add keywords.

5-

Refine your keywords.

Search terms change, and so should your keywords. Once you've added keywords, review and test their effectiveness regularly.

You can see how your site ranks in search engine results for particular keywords with the Search Engine Ranking tool on the Home tab. You can also use Site Statistics to better understand keywords your visitors have used to find you.
Add variations of your successful keywords (including common misspellings), names of popular products you sell, and professional specialties. For more ideas,check your competitors' web sites — which keywords do they use? See more tips.

6-

Write clear page descriptions.

Your description summarizes your page content and may encourage clicks in search results.

Some search engines use your description to help categorize your page, but more important, your home page description may appear in search results. A clear and persuasive description may not boost your search engine ranking, but it can encourage prospective customers who do see your site in search results to visit your site.
Focus on writing a clear, concise summary of the page, including a couple of keywords from that page, if you can. What do you want potential visitors to know?See tips on writing descriptions.
Site Solution will automatically create page descriptions, which you can easily editto make your own. If you're using another site building tool, you can add descriptions yourself. Learn how.

7-

Add alt text.

Let search engines "read" your images.

Alt text is descriptive text that appears when you hold your mouse over an image in a web page (or when the image does not appear). Alt text is important for web site visitors with visual or audio impairments who might use special readers to explore your site.
Also important, search engines can't see your images, so they'll read your image alt text instead. Keywords and other relevant information in your alt text can impact the search engine's evaluation of your site for search results.
An image's alt text should be short and accurately describe the image. Try to include important keywords, when possible. If your image shows a Macintosh computer, for instance, your alt text might read "MacBook Pro."
And take care not to repeat the same alt text for every image on your page. Search engines and impaired users will read the images as if they are text. A gallery of different computers that all read "computer, computer, computer, computer" won't mean much to search engines or visitors using special readers
Both Site Solution and SiteBuilder make it easy to add alt text for your images.

8-

Use captions.

Make sure search engines understand the importance of your images.

Search engines love quality content, and your captions are no exception. Writing captions for your images is not only a great way to educate and engage your visitors but also an opportunity to incorporate valuable content into your site.
Your caption should describe the image and, if possible, the benefit of the image's subject, but you can also appeal to search engines by incorporating some of your page keywords into the text. Instead of just "green jacket," for example, try something both value-oriented and more specific: "Our green Gore-Tex jacket will keep you dry in any season." Try to use words your customers are likely to enter in their searches.

9-

Use a Sitemap.

Provide a Sitemap to help search engines read your site.

A Sitemap is a simple data file that provides information about your site to search engines. A Sitemap is invisible to your site visitors but can help search engines do a better job of reviewing your site — which in turn can improve your chances of appearing in search results.
If you're using Site Solution, we'll create and update a Sitemap for you, but with a little effort, you can create your own Sitemap using any tool you like. Learn how to create your own Sitemap.

10-

Link to other high-quality sites.

Well-crafted, relevant links to great sites can impress both your visitors and the search engines.

Link to other web sites? Won't linking out make me lose business?
You can improve your visitors' experience and your own credibility by adding carefully chosen links from your pages to complementary content on other high-quality web sites. The more relevant and specific your links, the more relevant and valuable your own site will seem, and the more likely your visitors will be to return.
Hint: Including pertinent keywords in the link itself can not only help your reader decide if the link is worth clicking; it may also help influence your rank for those keywords in search results.

11-

Sign up for a search engine optimization service.

Bring in the professionals for custom tuning.

We recommend lots of techniques that are great for every business, but nothing beats custom attention. No one can guarantee your site's placement in search results, but if search engines are a major part of your marketing plan, consider hiring a professional search engine optimization (SEO) service, which can analyze your business and web site and help you fine-tune your search engine strategy.
SEO services can help you with everything from editing your content and picking meta tags to redesigning your home page. See SEO services in the Yahoo Directory.

Setting the security level within the Java Control Panel will determine whether

1. You are prompted before an untrusted java application is run (MEDIUM or HIGH) or
2. Untrusted Java applications will be blocked so they cannot run (VERY HIGH).

Starting with Java 7 Update 51, users will be able to configure the applications to run, that would normally be blocked by security checks. If the exception list feature is used, the option will be listed within the Java Control Panel.
See the Exception Site List FAQ for more info.

Security levels in the Java Control Panel

Very High

This is the most restrictive security level setting. All the applications that are signed with a valid certificate and include the Permissions attribute in the manifest for the main JAR file are allowed to run with security prompts. All other applications are blocked.

High

This is the minimum recommended (and default) security level setting. Applications that are signed with a valid or expired certificate and include the Permissions attribute in the manifest for the main JAR file are allowed to run with security prompts. Applications are also allowed to run with security prompts when the revocation status of the certificate cannot be checked. All other applications are blocked.

Medium

Only unsigned applications that request all permissions are blocked. All other applications are allowed to run with security prompts. Selecting the Medium security level is not recommended and will make your computer more vulnerable should you run a malicious application.
