I really thought that the feof() was TRUE when the logical file pointer is a EOF.
but no !
we need to read and get an empty record before the eof() reports TRUE.
$fp = fopen('test.bin','rb');
while(!feof($fp)) {
$c = fgetc($fp);
// ... do something with $c
echo ftell($fp), ",";
echo 'EOF!';
prints for two time the last byte position.
If our file length is 5 byte this code prints
Because of this, you have to do another check to verify if fgetc really reads another byte (to prevent error on "do something with $c" ^_^).
To prevent errors you have to use this code
$fp = fopen('test.bin','rb');
while(!feof($fp)) {
$c = fgetc($fp);
if($c === false) break;
// ... do something with $c
but this is the same of
$fp = fopen('test.bin','rb');
while(($c = fgetc($fp))!==false) {
// ... do something with $c
Consequently feof() is simply useless.
Before write this note I want to submit this as a php bug but one php developer said that this does not imply a bug in PHP itself (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=35136&edit=2).
If this is not a bug I think that this need at least to be noticed.
Sorry for my bad english.
Bye ;)

Before a treatment or rehabilitation plan can be made, your orthopedist must first find what is causing your condition. This typically involves a physical exam and a review of your health history. The healthcare provider will also look at your symptoms. Tell your provider about any other illnesses, injuries, or complaints that may be causing the pain or condition. Also tell them about any treatments or medicines that you have had. You may have testing after this first exam.
If you need more evaluation, you may have 1 of these tests:
X-ray. This test uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to make images of tissues, bones, and organs on film.
Arthrogram. This X-ray shows bone structures after an injection of a contrast fluid into a joint area. When the fluid leaks into an area where it does not belong, disease or injury may be considered. A leak would mean there is a tear, opening, or blockage.
MRI. This test uses large magnets, radiofrequencies, and a computer to make detailed images of organs and structures within the body. It can often determine damage or disease in a surrounding ligament or muscle.
CT scan. This test uses X-rays and computer technology to make horizontal, or axial, images (often called slices) of the body. A CT scan shows detailed images of any part of the body, including the bones, muscles, fat, and organs. CT scans are more detailed than general X-rays.
Electromyogram (EMG). This test evaluates nerve and muscle function.
Ultrasound. This test uses high-frequency sound waves to create an image of the internal organs
Myelogram. This test involves the injection of a dye or contrast material into the spinal canal. Next, a specific X-ray study lets the healthcare provider evaluate the spinal canal and nerve roots.
Radionuclide bone scan. This is a nuclear imaging test. It uses a very small amount of radioactive material, which is injected into the bloodstream to be found by a scanner. This test shows blood flow to the bone and cell activity within the bone.
Blood tests. Other blood tests may be used to check for certain types of arthritis or other disorders.
Arthroscopy. This procedure is used to evaluate a joint. It uses a small, lighted, optic tube (arthroscope). This tube is inserted into the joint through a small cut or incision in the joint. Images of the inside of the joint are projected onto a screen. It's used to evaluate any degenerative or arthritic changes in the joint. It also finds bone diseases, ligament or cartilage tears, or tumors and may help find the cause of bone pain and inflammation. This procedure can often find and treat the problem during 1 procedure.
After the healthcare provider has collected and looked at the test results, they will discuss the treatment methods with you. Together you can choose the best treatment plan for you.

One day in the not-too-distant future, your braces will come off. In a few moments, you'll be free of bands and brackets, able to eat what you want and run your tongue over smooth, clean teeth. But, even on this happy occasion, please remember that you're not quite done with orthodontic treatment yet: The next phase, called retention, is just beginning.
Retention is a critical follow-through stage that typically involves wearing an orthodontic appliance called a retainer. Several different kinds of retainers are available, all of which are custom-made.
But if your teeth are straight now, why do you need a retainer at all? Simply put, it's because if you don't wear one, your teeth will start moving right back to where they were!
Teeth aren't set rigidly in the jawbone — instead, they're held in place by a network of fibers called the periodontal ligaments. After they have being moved, it takes several months for the periodontal ligament to adjust to the new position. So if you want to keep that new smile — and not waste all the time, effort, and money it took to get it — it's essential to wear your retainer as directed.
Being fitted for a retainer usually happens on the same day your braces are removed. After your teeth are thoroughly cleaned, another set of X-rays and/or bite impressions may be taken to check how well your braces worked and to see how much your wisdom teeth have developed. Then, a retainer will be prepared for you.
Three Types of Retainers
There are three basic types of retainers available today; each works best in particular situations. The most common is the so-called "Hawley" retainer — a thin, tongue-shaped piece of acrylic molded to fit your mouth, with a wire that holds your teeth in position. The Hawley retainer is simple, durable and easily removed. It's even possible to personalize it by choosing different colors and designs for the plastic arch.
Another popular style of retainer is the clear aligner-type, which looks similar to the Invisalign® tray system. These retainers are custom-made of thin, transparent plastic designed to fit precisely over your teeth. Their main advantage is that they're invisible, with no wire to show. These retainers are also easy to remove, but they may be somewhat less durable than the Hawleys. They aren't recommended for patients with certain conditions, like teeth grinding.
Finally, fixed retainers may be an option for some people, especially on the lower front teeth. As their name implies, they aren't removable by the wearer — but they aren't visible either. Like lingual braces, this system uses a wire which is bonded to the tongue side of the teeth. It may remain in place for months, or longer. This type of retainer is sometimes recommended when there's a high risk that teeth could revert to their former position.
A Period of Adjustment
After a short time, most people adjust quite well to wearing a retainer. Some may find that they produce more saliva than usual for a day or so after first wearing any type of retainer — a normal reaction to a foreign object in the mouth. You may also find it a little harder to talk normally at first, but that problem will soon disappear. Of course, removable retainers should always be taken out when you eat or brush your teeth — a big change from braces!
At first, you will probably be told to wear your removable retainer all day, every day. This period of 24/7 retainer use generally lasts from several months to a year. Later, it may be OK to wear it only at night. Finally, you'll probably need to put it on just a few nights a week.
Maintaining — and Retaining — Your Retainer
To stay fresh and germ-free, all retainers need proper cleaning. A Hawley-type retainer can be brushed gently with a regular toothbrush — but a brush may scratch the clear aligner types. Denture cleaners, in powder or tablet form, as well as special retainer cleaners, can be used to clean most removable retainers. Fixed retainers are cleaned by brushing and flossing; a floss threader or interproximal brush can also be a helpful cleaning tool when needed.
Finally, remember to always carry — and use — a retainer case. You'd be surprised how many retainers end up folded in a napkin and accidentally discarded! Also, don't expose your retainer to excess heat by washing it in very hot water or leaving it on a heater: That can cause the retainer to warp and make it unusable. With proper care and conscientious use, a retainer can help you transition from braces to a permanent, healthy smile.

Before you shop for new flooring, ask yourself which type fits your lifestyle. Perhaps you have active children and pets. Maybe you have a tight budget or a spouse who's prone to spills. Whatever your circumstances, there are flooring products that meet your unique needs.
Here are things to consider as you select the flooring that's perfect for you:
Carpet: Bold and Fashionable
Beautifully bold and fashionable, carpet offers luxurious comfort. With so many styles, patterns, and colors, carpet is also an endlessly versatile option. Carpet gives adults a soft place to lounge and children a safe place to play. We have hundreds of styles and colors, so you're sure to get just the look you want.
Area Rugs: Classy and Comfy
Add flair and softness to your floor with a stylish area rug. From large to small, bright to neutral, and everything in between, area rugs offer an easy makeover that fits every home and budget. Whether you want to give tile more warmth, create a focal point on hardwood, or layer over carpet, it's easy to add an area rug that transforms your room without breaking the bank.
Laminate: Strong and Stylish
If you're on a tight budget, laminate offers the look of hardwood and tile—at a lower cost. Scratch- and stain-resistant, laminate is great for busy households with kids and pets. And when it's time to entertain, you'll be confident knowing that spills like mustard and wine wipe right off, so your floor stays beautiful for years to come.
Tile & Stone: Pretty and Practical
You can choose from an amazing selection of sizes, colors, shapes, and textures with our tile and stone products. You can also add another element of style with geometric layouts, hand-painted accents, and even colored grout. Plus, tile resists stains and scratches and is easy to clean—for flooring that's not only beautiful, but practical.
Hardwood: Simple and Classic
Add warmth, elegance and classic style to your home with a new hardwood floor. Hardwood not only lasts for years, it will look even more amazing as it ages. Its warmth and versatility suit all styles, and its beauty and strength are great for nearly any space. Fast-moving households will appreciate the durability and easy care.
Carpet Recycling and Collection
As you shop for your new floor, you might wonder what you need to do with the flooring you'll replace. We've partnered with Shaw, the flooring company that, in turn, partners with a number of recycling companies to establish a collection network throughout the country. Check out the map that indicates where we expect to collect as much as 300 million pounds of carpet waste annually.
Pallet Recycling Program
It's important to us to work with companies that consistently make environmentally sound decisions. Pallet recycling is a good example. Pallets are the portable wood platforms used to store and transport flooring products. Our responsible manufacturers collect, inspect and repair used pallets and send them back for reuse.

Compassion, empathy and service to others—these are only a few of the values volunteering on a regular basis can teach us. Volunteering shows us our own privilege and how we can use it to help those less fortunate than we are. For many people, volunteering isn't a part of our lives until a school course requires it for credit, encouraging us to go "be a part of the community."
These are great outlets and programs, but what if we started instilling these volunteering values at a younger age? Despite their age, children can have a powerful impact in the community, if only we encourage them to do so. Here are four reasons kids should start volunteering young.
1. Volunteering teaches valuable life skills.
First and foremost, volunteering teaches children valuable life skills, such as working with others and following directions. It gives kids a chance to get outside of the classroom and put their knowledge into real-life work.
Consider this: collecting food for a local shelter could be a chance for your child to learn how to organize materials by type, expiration date or brand name. Cleaning up garbage in a park can show them the value of working as a team, and how to efficiently come together to get an important job done. Whether it's working with animals, a local shelter or a national cause, volunteering gives your child the chance to learn important life-lessons in a safe environment.
2. Volunteering encourages empathy.
Working with others also gives children the chance to develop their empathy and compassion. Oftentimes, kids grow up in a specific world and aren't exposed to much else. Volunteering, however, gives children the chance to meet and interact with others who are different from themselves.
Through volunteering opportunities, kids have the chance to see the world from a different lens and recognize their own circumstantial privileges. What better way for children to learn empathy, than to experience it firsthand?
3. Volunteering gives a voice to young people.
According to Scholarship America, the current largest demographic of volunteers is adults ages 35-54. By contrast, just one in five Americans between the ages of 16-24 reported spending any time volunteering. However, according to a 2012 study by DoSomething.org, the most important determining factor for youth volunteering was having friends who also volunteered.
When your child volunteers, it gives a voice to young people, establishing a network between younger and older generations to work together. Kids have the chance to get involved and make their opinions heard. And when just one child starts volunteering, it acts as a catalyst for other youth to be active in the community as well.
4. Volunteering can help with college.
Finally, and of course: volunteering is a great boost when it comes to college. Volunteering experience on college applications shows schools your child is a valued member of society who contributes to his or her community. Starting kids on the volunteering track at a young age gives them the chance to be even more involved, get more background experience for their resume and establish personal connections for potential recommendation letters.
Volunteering is more than just an activity for high school or college students earning credit; it's a chance for children to get involved at a young age. Giving back teaches life skills and intense empathy, while giving children a voice in the community and preparing them for college.
If you want your child to start on the right path for an altruistic lifestyle, help them get involved in their community and start volunteering today.

Hacking group [LulzSec](http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/digitaltrends/tc_digitaltrends/storytext/lulzsechitsarizonapolicecomputersrevealssensitivedata/41981608/SIG=15mse4oph/*http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/lulzsec-hackshttp://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/identifying-the-hacktivists-of-the-emerging-cyberwar/cia-and-disrupts-other-u-s-agencies/), in a move that seems more ideological than lulzworthy, has hit the State of Arizona's law enforcement in what the group dubbed "[*Operation Chinga La Migra*](http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/digitaltrends/tc_digitaltrends/storytext/lulzsechitsarizonapolicecomputersrevealssensitivedata/41981608/SIG=11o3u3t1c/*http://lulzsecurity.com/releases/chinga_la_migra_1.txt)". Late Thursday the hackers have released what they claim are hundreds of sensitive documents belonging to the state's law enforcement officials.
The 447-megabytes worth of documents is available at Pirate Bay. The torrent of leaked materials contains bulletins, training manuals, personal email correspondence, numbers, passwords and more. LulzSec says they targeted the Arizona police department specifically because of SB1070, the law which branded Arizona as one of the stricter anti-immigrant states in the US. The controversial SB1070 allowed cops to stop anyone and ask for identification; basically, if you had an accent you're considered illegal.
The raid of government files seems to be part-flex, part image change. No more DDoS, this seems like their big boy voice and is well in line with their recent Operation Anti-Security anti-government move. Here's what they said:
"We are releasing hundreds of private intelligence bulletins, training manuals, personal email correspondence, names, phone numbers, addresses and passwords belonging to Arizona law enforcement. We are targeting AZDPS specifically because we are against SB1070 and the racial profiling anti-immigrant police state that is Arizona.
The documents classified as "law enforcement sensitive", "not for public distribution", and "for official use only" are primarily related to border patrol and counter-terrorism operations and describe the use of informants to infiltrate various gangs, cartels, motorcycle clubs, Nazi groups, and protest movements.
Every week we plan on releasing more classified documents and embarassing personal details of military and law enforcement in an effort not just to reveal their racist and corrupt nature but to purposefully sabotage their efforts to terrorize communities fighting an unjust "war on drugs".
Hackers of the world are uniting and taking direct action against our common oppressors – the government, corporations, police, and militaries of the world. See you again real soon."
These personal documents detail complaints against the Mexican government, fascinating day-to-day stories of gun fights at McDonalds, new drugs being disguised as cigarettes, iPhone apps that cops dislike, a guide to social networking, sneaky new tech tactics being used by criminals and the obvious lack of funding the Arizona government has for their own tech.
The documents also detail threat levels for certain groups like motorcycle gangs, and interestingly the police find that Jew for Jesus count as a very low threat level. If you don't feel like downloading it, BoingBoing has posted a few highlights to ponder. Something like this seems like it would get the goat of a patriotic hacker like Th3J35t3r. Actually, LulzSec's website was down when we checked it an hour ago, so maybe they have already felt the repercussions. The Lulz hacker group said that there will be more to come Monday.

Coincidentally, just last night I happened to catch the scene from the movie "Lenny" where Lenny Bruce (played by Dustin Hoffman) spouts racist epithets directly at people in his audience before mellowing into an explanation about how if we'd only use these words all the time they'd lose their force. Richards, however, never mellows... and Bruce's theory was a new theory when he tested it out, not a long-argued, tried, and failed one.
IN THE COMMENTS: Someone posts the text of the Lenny Bruce routine. I and others continue to distinguish what Richards did from what Bruce did. Some people get sidetracked into a discussion of how some people seem to be permitted to use racial epithets while others don't. To them I say, watch the video. This isn't a question of using the word. It is the entire sad, angry, sorry context for which there is no decent excuse.
UPDATE: Richards is on Letterman tonight, explaining himself. Here's a report on what he said:
"I'm a performer. I push the envelope. I work in a very uncontrolled manner on stage. I do a lot of free association — it's spontaneous, I go into character. I don't know. In view of the situation and the act going the way it was going, I don't know. The rage did go all over the place it went to everybody in the room.ANOTHER UPDATE: I've watched the show now, so let me make a few observations.
"I'm not a racist, that's what's so insane about this."
1. Poor Jerry! Seinfeld was the scheduled guest, there to promote a new DVD collection of the old sitcom, trying to make the best of the situation, with Richards having degraded the value of the product.
2. Richards seemed calm -- and his deadpan delivery caused some clueless audience members to laugh -- but he also seemed deeply broken up and in need of help. At one point, he questioned whether to be talking on the show was the right place for him to be, and he seemed really stunned. Maybe he was on tranquilizers.
3. The stupidest part of Richards' performance was when he shifted from admitting to his own rage to talking about needing to get to the bottom of rage generally, including the rage that takes nations to war. He also tried to connect the offense that the black people in his audience took toward him to the effect Katrina had on black people.

Engine Repair Burnaby

Luckily, trustworthy and reliable Burnaby auto engine repair and maintenance is only a phone call away. Our company was built and continues to thrive on excellent, transparent automotive repair and maintenance services. To speak to a member of our staff about your current car troubles, please give us a call. We will work with you to assess the problem and make sure that you aren't putting yourself or other motorists at risk when you're behind the wheel.
Don't wait until the "check engine" light burns itself out before you get the necessary auto engine repair and maintenance your vehicle needs. Call us today.
Common Engine Problems
It doesn't matter how old your car is, how far you have driven it, or who manufactured it, engine repair and maintenance is a reality all car owners will have to face sooner or later. While regular professional maintenance can help reduce the risk of your engine breaking down, it's never guaranteed.
In all of our years in the engine repair business, here are some of the most common engine problems we encounter regularly.
Engine Won't Start
If your engine won't start, it might mean:
- Low or dead battery
- Corroded or loose battery cables
- Ignition switch failure
- Fuel pump is defective
- Clogged fuel filter
- Starter motor relay failure
If the engine clicks but doesn't crank, then it's typically a battery issue. If it cranks but doesn't start, then it is usually a sign that there is a problem with the fuel or ignition systems.
Engine Overheating
An overheating engine is most likely due to low coolant levels. Frequent overheating can cause serious and pricey damage to engines. If your engine continues to overheat regardless of how much coolant you are putting in to it, it might mean:
- Coolant system is leaking or damaged
- Faulty thermostat
- Cooling fan is malfunctioning
- Broken radiator hose
- Defective radiator cap
A cracked head or blown head gasket may also be causing your engine to overheat. White exhaust smoke is usually an indication that there's a problem with your engine's cooling system and may require service immediately.
Check Engine Light
The check engine light is designed to light up whenever a fault is detected in any of the sensors attached to the emission, engine, or powertrain controls. Although useful, it can often be the source of frustration for drivers because it fails to give them any indication of the nature of the problem. They only know that there might be a problem.
The service engine light could be notifying you about:
- Loose or missing gas cap
- Spark plugs or wires are damaged
- Electronic control module failure
- Defective coil packs
- Emissions control faulty
- Fuel quality low
Friendly, Affordable Engine Repair
Your car can't run without its engine, which is why A & C Automotive's highly-trained and experienced Burnaby mechanics are at your service when you need us.

In what feels like a blow to egalitarianism, new research finds that husbands and wives who assign housework along traditional gender lines have more sex than those who split the chores more equitably.
After reviewing data on how married couples in the U.S. tackle housework, as well as self-reports of how often they enjoyed intercourse, sociologists at the University of Washington (UW) say that couples who shared the burden of chores — cooking, cleaning and caring for the lawn — tend to have the least active sex lives.
The couples reported having sex about five times in the month before the survey began. But if the husband did no stereotypically female tasks (making meals, perhaps, or scrubbing floors), couples had sex 1.6 times more per month than couples in which husbands were responsible for doing all of those chores. Couples where the husband contributed to household chores, but stuck to the more stereotypically male tasks (car maintenance, bill paying, yard work) had sex .7 times more than those where the wife did all the male work.
That means that couples where husbands do no traditionally female tasks have sex the most: 4.85 times a month. Conversely, couples where men do all the female work have sex the least: 3.3 times a month.
The couples where husbands pitch in but do only the male tasks, fall somewhere in between; they're sliding between the sheets 4.7 times a month. Meanwhile, couples where wives do all the male tasks have sex just under four times a month.
(MORE: Why Men in Female-Centric Professions Spend More Time on 'Guy' Chores)
Overall, couples put in a combined 34 hours a week on traditionally female tasks compared to 17 hours on manly chores. Husbands performed about a fifth of classic women's work and more than half of men's work.
The findings, drawn from 4,500 heterosexual married U.S. couples participating in the National Survey of Families and Households, add some context to other studies that have found that husbands get more sex when they do more housework — a kind of domestic quid pro quo. But those conclusions didn't quite ring true for Julie Brines, a co-author of the new study published in the American Sociological Review. She and her colleagues have done work suggesting that the division of housework doesn't align with an "exchange model" where chores are traded for a share of income, for example, or sex.
Instead, Brines surmised that the relationship between sex and housework is actually far more complex. In actuality, it's tied to stereotypical views of what qualifies as women's — or men's — work. And despite progress toward gender equality, "These are residues of sexual scripts that have been in place in our culture for a long time," she says.
(MORE: Working Moms Multitask More Than Dads — and Like It Less)
And what about the more important responsibility for couples with a family? This study did not take into account childcare as a household chore — most commonly performed by women but increasingly embraced by men — because the data used did not contain useful information about who cares for the kids. No one, notes Brines, has yet looked at whether dads who do more childcare get more sex.
It's also worth pointing out that the national survey data was collected between 1992 and 1994, but Brines and her co-authors saythat the relationship between sex and housework has changed little since then. Research reveals only a modest evolution in the division of household labor over the past 18 years — mainly in the realm of childcare, with more dads stepping up.
Still, for the husbands who might be feeling smug about the results of her study, Brines has a bit of advice. "Don't walk away from this research thinking, I should stay away from cooking or cleaning because I'll benefit from it," she cautions. "There may be costs associated with doing that."
After all, a great sex life isn't everything. Other research has found that neglecting to pitch in with dinner prep may create conflict in your marriage around the division of household labor. Men who shun cooking and cleaning can actually engender marital conflict which could also result in less sex. "There are trade-offs," says Brines. And that's putting it mildly.

Tissue proteome
A summary of the overall protein expression pattern across the analyzed normal tissues. The summary is based on knowledge-based annotation.
Images of selected tissues give a visual summary of the protein expression profile furthest to the right.
The gray human body provides links to a histology dictionary when clicking on any part of the figure.
Protein expression data is shown for each of the 44 tissues. Color-coding is based on tissue groups, each consisting of tissues with functional features in common. Mouse-over function shows protein score for analyzed cell types in a selected tissue. To access image data click on tissue name or bar. Annotation of protein expression is described in detail in Assays & annotation.
The protein browser displays the antigen location on the target protein(s) and the features of the target protein. The tabs at the top of the protein view section can be used to switch between the different splice variants to which an antigen has been mapped.
At the top of the view, the position of the antigen (identified by the corresponding HPA identifier) is shown as a green bar. A yellow triangle on the bar indicates a <100% sequence identity to the protein target.
Under the antigens, the maximum percent sequence identity of the protein to all other proteins from other human genes is displayed, using a sliding window of 10 aa residues (HsID 10) or 50 aa residues (HsID 50). The region with the lowest possible identity is always selected for antigen design, with a maximum identity of 60% allowed for designing a single-target antigen (read more).
The curve in blue displays the predicted antigenicity i.e. the tendency for different regions of the protein to generate an immune response, with peak regions being predicted to be more antigenic.The curve shows average values based on a sliding window approach using an in-house propensity scale. (read more).
If a signal peptide is predicted by a majority of the signal peptide predictors SPOCTOPUS, SignalP 4.0, and Phobius (turquoise) and/or transmembrane regions (orange) are predicted by MDM, these are displayed.
The protein information section displays alternative protein-coding transcripts (splice variants) encoded by this gene according to the Ensembl database.
The ENSP identifier links to the Ensembl website protein summary, while the ENST identifier links to the Ensembl website transcript summary for the selected splice variant. The data in the UniProt column can be expanded to show links to all matching UniProt identifiers for this protein.
The protein classes assigned to this protein are shown if expanding the data in the protein class column. Parent protein classes are in bold font and subclasses are listed under the parent class.

AP Movie Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) - The big deal for Hollywood is not the record $10.8 billion that studios took in domestically in 2012. It's the fact that the number of tickets sold went up for the first time in three years.
Thanks to inflation, revenue generally rises in Hollywood as admission prices climb each year. The real story is told in tickets, whose sales have been on a general decline for a decade, bottoming out in 2011 at 1.29 billion, their lowest level since 1995.
The industry rebounded this year, with ticket sales projected to rise 5.6 percent to 1.36 billion by Dec. 31, according to box-office tracker Hollywood.com. That's still well below the modern peak of 1.6 billion tickets sold in 2002, but in an age of cozy home theater setups and endless entertainment gadgets, studio executives consider it a triumph that they were able to put more butts in cinema seats this year than last.
"It is a victory, ultimately," said Don Harris, head of distribution at Paramount Pictures. "If we deliver the product as an industry that people want, they will want to get out there. Even though you can sit at home and watch something on your large screen in high-def, people want to get out."
Domestic revenue should finish up nearly 6 percent from 2011's $10.2 billion and top Hollywood's previous high of $10.6 billion set in 2009.
The year was led by a pair of superhero sagas, Disney's "The Avengers" with $623 million domestically and $1.5 billion worldwide and the Warner Bros. Batman finale "The Dark Knight Rises" with $448 million domestically and $1.1 billion worldwide. Sony's James Bond adventure "Skyfall" is closing in on the $1 billion mark globally, and the list of action and family-film blockbusters includes "The Hunger Games," "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn _ Part Two," "Ice Age: Continental Drift," "Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted," "The Amazing Spider-Man" and "Brave."
Before television, movies were the biggest thing going, with ticket sales estimated as high as 4 billion a year domestically in the 1930s and `40s.
Movie-going eroded steadily through the 1970s as people stayed home with their small screens. The rise of videotape in the 1980s further cut into business, followed by DVDs in the `90s and big, cheap flat-screen TVs in recent years. Today's video games, mobile phones and other portable devices also offer easy options to tramping out to a movie theater.
It's all been a continual drain on cinema business, and cynics repeatedly predict the eventual demise of movie theaters. Yet Hollywood fights back with new technology of its own, from digital 3-D to booming surround-sound to the clarity of images projected at high-frame rates, which is being tested now with "The Lord of the Rings" prelude "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey," shown in select theaters at 48 frames a second, double the standard speed.
For all of the annoyances of theaters _ parking, pricy concessions, sitting next to strangers texting on their iPhones _ cinemas still offer the biggest and best way to see a movie.
"Every home has a kitchen, but you can't get into a good restaurant on Saturday night," said Dan Fellman, head of distribution for Warner Bros. "People want to escape. That's the nature of society. The adult population just is not going to sit home seven days a week, even though they have technology in their home that's certainly an improvement over what it was 10 years ago. People want to get out of the house, and no matter what they throw in the face of theatrical exhibition, it continues to perform at a strong level."
Even real-life violence at the movie theater didn't turn audiences away. Some moviegoers thought twice about heading to the cinema after a gunman killed 12 people and injured 58 at a screening of "The Dark Knight Rises" in Colorado last summer, but if there was any lull in attendance, it was slight and temporary. Ticket sales went on a tear for most of the fall.
While domestic revenues inch upward most years largely because of inflation, the real growth areas have been overseas, where more and more fans are eager for the next Hollywood blockbuster.
Rentrak, which compiles international box office data, expects 2012's foreign gross to be about $23 billion, 3 percent higher than in 2011. No data was yet available on the number of tickets sold overseas this past year.
International business generally used to account for less than half of a studio film's overall receipts. Films now often do two or even three times as much business overseas as they do domestically. Some movies that were duds with U.S. audiences, such as "Battleship" and "John Carter," can wind up being $200 million hits with overseas crowds.
Whether finishing a good year or a bad one, Hollywood executives always look ahead to better days, insisting that the next crop of blockbusters will be bigger than ever. The same goes this time as studio bosses hype their 2013 lineup, which includes the latest "Iron Man," "Star Trek," "Hunger Games" and "Thor" installments, the Superman tale "Man of Steel" and the second chapter in "The Hobbit" trilogy.
Twelve months from now, they hope to be talking about another revenue record topping this year's $10.8 billion.
"I've been saying we're going to hit that $11 billion level for about three years now," said Paul Dergarabedian, a box-office analyst for Hollywood.com. "Next year I think is the year we actually do it."

For those concerned that Americans weren't paying close enough attention to the presidential election, a tall, fluffy, yellow bird helped change that this week.
Two days after the presidential debate in which Mitt Romney brought up the Sesame Street character in a reference to federal funding for PBS, the "Save Big Bird" debate continued.
"I'm going to stop the subsidy to PBS. I'm going to stop other things," Romney said, while debating President Obama Wednesday night. "I like PBS. I love Big Bird. I actually like you too. But I'm not going to — I'm not going to keep on spending money on things to borrow money from China to pay for it. "
Twitter says that during the debate, Big Bird was mentioned in 17,000 tweets per minute.
Federal funding for public television — and public radio — comes via the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a nonprofit, private organization chartered by Congress. About 72 percent of the CPB funding goes directly to local TV and radio stations that distribute programs, such as Sesame Street.
On CNN's "Piers Morgan Tonight" Thursday, former Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum said he's voted to "kill Big Bird in the past," adding:
"I have a record there that I have to disclose. That doesn't mean I don't like Big Bird. You can kill things and still like them, maybe to eat them, I don't know. ... Can we go back on that one?"
At a rally in Virginia Friday, Obama chided Romney: "For all you moms and kids out there, don't worry — someone is finally getting tough on Big Bird. Rounding him up. Elmo has got to watch out, too."
A Facebook page is calling for a "Million Muppet March" Nov. 3 on the National Mall.
Actor George Takei, of Star Trek fame, posted animageto his Facebook account, referencing a popular Tumblr blog from earlier this year about Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, with the caption: "Confirmed. I got the bird. We will move him to a safe house in the morning."
It's all somewhat absurd, but PBS, which distributes Sesame Street, released a statement saying:
"The federal investment in public broadcasting equals about one one-hundredth of one percent of the federal budget. Elimination of funding would have virtually no impact on the nation's debt. Yet the loss to the American public would be devastating."
CPB has long been a source of debate on Capitol Hill. Congressional Republicans have targeted public media funding in their budget proposals. CPB also was also among the proposed cuts under a 2010 deficit-cutting plan offered by leaders of the bipartisan Bowles-Simpson commission.
