Railway (De) Regulation : A European Efficiency Comparison
Many European countries have sought to increase the efficiency of national railroad companies through a range of reforms: separating infrastructure and operations, creating independent regulatory institutions and providing access to the network to third parties. To estimate the effects of reforms on railroad efficiency, we investigate a new World Bank panel dataset that covers many EU countries over a period of 20 years. We compare the passenger traffic efficiency of national railroad companies by means of a production frontier model and evaluate the effects of reforms on efficiency. We find that reforms have efficiency-increasing effects but that the effect of reforms depends on sequencing: the introduction of multiple reforms in a package has at best neutral effects, but sequential reforms improve efficiency. Using the LISREL technique, we find that our results are robust against potential problems of endogeneity.

Sorry everyone, but I've just arrived at the groove bar to find out the guy in charge of the event isn't going to be here to run it. I'm really disappointed and I want to apologize to all the Dtoiders who were planning on coming out today. I'm here for at least the next hour or so to catch anyone coming. If you do come, look for the dejected guy with the laptop - that's me.

The Technoshack - My Setup
In this, the time of Cold Weather and Soggy Socks, I decided to keep myself busy by doing whatever it takes to save myself venturing outside into the Cold, so I took a bunch of pictures :D
It would be easy to discount this little unassuming shack as a toolshed at first glance. But oh, what goodies do lie inside this tiny room! Venture with me, and I will give you a tour of:
Inside is my Man-Cave, forged
by pure force of will
into the very place I sit writing this post. It may be small, and it may not have plumbing (this sucks,) but it's home,
The rear wall is for television and console games.
The side wall is all fancy Arts, which I stare at while drinking expensive bourbon and wonder about things all pensive-like. "But what's that in between" your asking.. Well, I shall indulge.
Why, the Photo-Booth pictures from PAX, of course!
There my fellow Canadian (turned Aussie) TheGHost, Kind-of-a-big-deal Hollie aka Phoenix Blood, Simmy (whom I owe almost enough money to fill a bathtub,) the Artist Mikey (Who drew the shirt you're about to see), The Jerk theGoldenAvatar (<3,) A real Stand Up Guy Suff0Cat, The grammer Nazi himself Halfleft (sorry we collectively turned you to the drink,) my roomie circa pax '08 McSnow, and the Beast known as Kryptonite, who is on the second set of pictures (Congrats on the Marriage BTW.)
Here's the business end of it all, my rig. Primarily a PC Gamer (I dual boot, so get off my case with your LOL MAC shit,) I have this bad mother effer because I'm trying to get into Video editing as a career.
Mikey drew this awesome shirt I had as many people sign at Fancy Suit night as I could, See if you can spot the Penis Coonskin graced upon its folds!
Rio McCarthy sent me this amazing Christmas Drawing! If you're wondering about the pepper in the picture, it involves an unfortunate incident with hot pepper juice and a particular pair of itchy testes. I wrote a forum post or something about it, just search for "UNBELEIVEABLE PAIN."
There you have it, my setup,
Have a good night, Destructoid!

Check out this sweet Bioshock 2 swag!
If you wern't at PAX (
happened, but I still <3 you.) then you would have missed out on an awesome display by the Bioshock 2 Guys. There's this little website you guys may have heard of called theressomthinginthesea.com. If you live under a rock, when you go there you are greeted with a pretty unassuming office you can explore, owned by a man whose daughter was abducted by the Big Sister. This awesome teaser came to life at PAX (and E3 as well, apparently.) Everything was meticulously crafted from the books on the shelves, the cork board of evidence of abductions, there was even a reel-to-reel recording machine that played some creepy monologue about a man in prison.
Anyways, there is a puzzle that the people monitoring the booth were encouraging everyone to solve. To get an idea, imagine a picture swapping puzzle, and then put 5 sides on it, and you kind of have an image of what I had to deal with. Since I wasn't leaving the booth until I got my Johan Vasquez print that day (that's for another post,) I decided to pit my hungover brain against the puzzle at hand. It didn't take very long, once you got the basic idea behind the puzzle, but it was impressed upon me that it's mind numbing difficulty proved too much for people to handle.
So, here are the scans of my prize, enjoy!

The Foundation: Resident Evil and Sweet Home
Sweet home is a very scary game. Famicom fans in America, however, never got the chance to experience its' gruesome story and frightening atmosphere because of a halted release. Mostly due to Censorship issues with the story line and what was considered really graphic gore for Famicom titles around 1989. Luckily today, fan translated roms are floating around the interwebs and give us an opportunity to experience what is considered by many as the first Survival Horror game. More importantly, door for door, Sweet Home inspired Shinki Mikami's ideas of what Resident Evil should be.
And that is the subject of this Cblog. My attempt is to draw a direct line between the roots of a much loved game and its' probably lesser known influences. By comparing inspiration to popular franchises, we can gain a better understanding of how things have evolved from their storyline, gameplay, and more. Over the weeks, I'll go in-detail about the 'games before the blockbusters' with the likes of Fallout, Diablo, The Elder Scrolls, and on. So welcome to 'The Foundation: Examining the Roots of Todays' Popular Franchises.'
The largest comparison to be made between Sweet Home and Resident Evil is the setting of each title. Both largely take place inside a mansion littered with monsters and puzzles to challenge our attempts at escape. Outside the walls of the veritable death traps seem unimportant while being inside the mansion, and surviving are main objectives. Shinki Mikami, in an interview about Resident Evil, said his idea was not to focus on story, or to even have a story, but to focus on conveying fear effectively. Sweet Home can be looked at as the epitome of style over story. You have very little background, initially. The team of 5 enters the mansion of a deceased painter to find a particular piece of art. The mission turns to survival once the ceiling collapses around the front door and the ghost of the painter claims 'Fools! Those who defile my home will feel my wrath!' Other information is scattered about by notes, much like the notes of the infected Professor in RE. These notes as story telling mechanics have, over time, become great additions to the main plot and don't disengage the player from the gameplay any more, making them choose to ignore the side story over the main. Examples being the audio logs of Bioshock and Dead Space.
The opening door animations in Resident Evil have been borrowed directly from Sweet Home, to fill the otherwise black loading screen between levels. Shinki Mikami liked the idea because he said it created tension. Sweet Home did a lot of things differently for the time it was released. For one, you start with a party of 5 members, and if one of them dies, they are gone for the rest of the game. This lead to a possibility of 4 different endings, one for however many members survived till the end. The endings vary depending on how many of your teammates you rescue in RE as well. Each of the 5 characters only had 2 inventory slots, a mechanic now looked at as a staple for defining what a Survival Horror game is. You would find yourself constantly backtracking to pick up items you didn't think you would need for puzzles later on. Resident Evil remedied this with the weapons Cache at each of the Save Rooms where you could store weapons, keys, and puzzle items. The puzzles in Resident Evil are clearly connected by it's predecessor, let's just say you will be pushing things around. A lot. As games evolve, developer-made obstacles and how they are overcome evolve as well, but at times, still fall back on collecting an item in one place and using it somewhere else.
For a game with 8-bit graphics, based on a movie, Sweet Home conveys fear with a technique that holds up to modern games. You won't find dogs jumping through windows for cheap scare, but the presentation in design and from orchestration is very ambient and tense. Particular cut scenes are genuinely creepy, I won't go into those because I would rather you play the game through and experience them yourselves. Watch the video below only if you want to see what I think of as the most gory presentation in 8-Bits since Hitlers Exploding Head. Spoiler Alert as this scene occurs over half-way through the game.
If Sweet Home the film was never made, or was a commercial failure, or was simply never considered to be optioned into a game, the Resident Evil we know today might be a very different game than it is. So for that, Sweet Home, I salute you.
Thanks, AgentBBJ for suggesting Sweet Home, and if any of you have lesser known games that inspired today's big players,

Regarding E3: Left 4 Dead 2 Has Me Wet In The Pants
Left for Dead 2 is probably the biggest announcement of day one at E3 as far as I�m concerned. But I�m apprehensive at the same time excited..
It�s a fine line a zombie game walks to maintain atmosphere and pacing, in representing the tension of insurmountable odds, like being in a tank slowly filling with water from the underside. If there�s one thing in the new announcement that really could break what Valve has done so well on it�s giving the common infected a new ability. Before reading more into the article at Rock Paper Shotgun I was annoyed to say the least - one of the great attractions of left 4 dead 1�s common infected was that not only are there just a fucking obscene amount at any given time, but they were deadly en mass while indistinguishable from one another. And then someone figured to change things up and turn some of them fireproof. As if god saw fit to grant these people invulnerability so that in death, they could ruin a Survivors day a little better than the average Zombie. In reality though, it looks like Valve has taken what I�ve just mentioned and addressed the concern by placing fireproof infected in Hazmat Suits. Presumably worn by a bitten human before turning, the bright yellow suits do well enough to explain fire retardancy. Also making them stick out like a sore thumb, and unless used very, very carefully a bulky yellow suit running at me will break immersion in ways that will make me rage in ways I have never fathomed.
But for the sum of it�s parts LFD2 looks like it will be successful improving on an already winning formula. The AI Director has been improved by introducing a feature that will change the paths for the survivors must take to reach the next safe house depending on their performance. In one example, depending on if the AI Director feels you've been doing poorly or spectacularly well, a graveyard portion of a map will be either a single corridor affair or a deadly maze of catacombs.
The sequel is set in Southern America, which has a lot of potential for very nice maps, and portions will be played in Full Daylight, changing the intensity from the bright outdoors to pitch black interiors. Random weather has been introduced by the AI Director, another nice cosmetic addition. Death animations have been amped up as well as the Gore Factor. Melee weapons are now a part of gameplay also.
Not much has been said about the new infected other than the teaser video where we saw The Charger and a change to the Witch�s mechanic. Kind of a mix between a special infected and a tank, the charger has one huge arm used to shoulder slam the survivors around, damaging them, but not instantly incapacitating. In the daylight maps, the Witch is now up and about, wandering a path given to her by the AI Director. It was difficult enough to try and find an alternate route around the Witch in L4D1 but to have her suddenly turn the corner in front of you is going to cause some shitted pants. A new gameplay mode is going to be announced eventually, (Wild Speculation) possibly a last stand type of scenario with checkpoints and barricades? (/Wild Speculation)

Burn Zombie Burn Impressions
Sometimes it�s great to be able to turn off the brain for a while and enjoy something where thinking is optional. Burn Zombie Burn is a lot like that. All the great things about arcade enjoyment, and you can keep the quarters! And believe me, if this were a cabinet at the old Sharkade I�d have burned through a small fortune on it already.
Please insert 25c to continue
Burn Zombie Burn is purely based on scoring points and massacring zombies by the horde with an array of firearms, bats, and lawnmowers. The art style is cartoonish and your protagonist (if you want to use a term usually reserved for things with a medicorum of storyline) is Bruce, a kind of characture somewhere between Elvis and Duke Nukem. Don�t go looking towards this title for it�s depth, but I digress.
Not Exactly the Wanderer from SOTC
In as much as a person can enjoy a game for it�s story line and how immersive or involved you become, the way that Burn Zombie Burn does it�s thing makes it a great game in it�s own right.
For ten bucks you�re definitely not going to be dissapointed.

In Memory Of Vexed Alex
Today marks a moment I personally would never want to announce... But as it is, here I am, announcing something most painful to me and a great burden to the rest of the community. Because today marks the day we've lost a great member of the community, an active Destructoid member since the days I first started lurking this site. As some of the regular IRC members knew, Vexed_Alex has a drinking problem, one that we would make jokes of, but ultimatly cost him his life. We're so sorry to hear that one of Destructoid's original members have passed away.
So, in memory of Vexed_Alex, our prayers are with you and your family,

Expanded Universes and Immersion
Since this months theme is about "Expanded Universes" I'll argue that games and the stories or shows created about them to be a planet... Consider that a planet's pull is proportional to its mass. So, more spin-off material makes a larger, more engaging experience.
A proper story line, and enough questions in need of answers are reasons I like turning to the serial novels etc. of an exceptional title. The trash aside (Books all for profits and catalysts to sell more copies,) good material is like a mini-history lesson, drawing a parallel line over top a story, and succeeding to expand on things that dialog, cut scenes and character development alone could fail. As a learning tool, the expanded universes bring lore and mythos to an otherwise linear experience of what you see is how things are.
Yes the poem came before the game, but to appreciate the latter you should read it.
I think an excellent use of expanded universes is to fill in the blanks in a story that won't fit in the main theme. It's a lot to digest, but it might also give you a better understanding of your protagonist, his companions, the enemy, and the world you have to survive in.. Breaking the immersion by a sudden unexplained circumstance, or event, is awful. It's arguably easier to succeed against an opponent you understand. Likewise the battle is all the more immersive knowing the history of the war.
Bioshock expands it's own game with it's audio logs. This use of a storytelling device like it in other games was rare. The tapes answered questions and revealed story elements otherwise outside of the scope of Bioshock's scenarios. I only argue the tapes being too much of a crutch. I'd eat up every printed word I could find on Rapture... Bioshock 2 should be a book.
As horrible a movie Street Fighter: TLOCL is, I can sum up the point of this post using it as an example. Because it was made, my experience of Street Fighter IV is made better because of it.
With more backstory, you're sure to immerse yourself further in a game.

Henrico to install flashing yellow traffic signals at 4 intersections
The Henrico County Department of Public Works will install new traffic signals at four intersections during the week of Feb. 6 to help motorists better understand the need to yield to oncoming traffic before turning left.
The signals will feature a new flashing yellow arrow, which will indicate that motorists may proceed after yielding to oncoming traffic and pedestrians. The signals will replace ones that have permitted left turns by showing a solid green circle with a sign that says, "Left Turn Yield on Green". The flashing yellow arrow will appear during the signal's normal cycles, which also will guide motorists with solid red, green and yellow arrows.
The Federal Highway Administration and Virginia Department of Transportation have approved the use of flashing yellow signals in light of research showing they reduce the number of left-turn accidents by more clearly conveying that motorists must yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians before proceeding.
The Traffic Engineering Division will install the new signals at the following intersections: Hungary Road and West End Drive; Hungary Road and Francistown Road; Gaskins Road and Ridgefield Parkway; and Creighton Road and Cedar Fork Road. Motorists may experience temporary delays during installation.
Engineers plan to monitor the signals for about one month before deciding whether to install them at additional intersections.

I'm an avid reader, but not of a lot of stories on wattpad. Call me hypocritical, but if you don't update often, i don't read. Which is hypocritical cause i don't post often. XD Anyways, I love to write. And i hope to be a writer when i grow up. I already have a publisher that says i have potential(good confidence booster).
Anyways, lets see. I like most types of music, and if you want, tell me songs that you like, maybe i'll check them out. I make my own book covers, but a lot of them are kind of lacking. If you want, try and make one for me. =p
*Shameless plug time* Read my stories? Please? Give feed back too. Good or bad, idc, i'd just like to hear what you think. Just no really pointless troll type things please.
Oh, and if you ever want to talk shoot me a private message, i'll respond. =D

About 2,500 mayors and staff members who were to converge on Detroit in April -- bringing an economic boost and national exposure to a beleaguered city -- are rerouting to New Orleans.
Asked if the decision to move the annual convention was tied to the text message scandal, Vanessa Williams, executive director of the National Conference of Black Mayors, told the Free Press, "I think anyone can look around and see what's going on."
Williams said Friday the group made the change after contacting Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's office. "I think the mayor wants to focus on the issues at hand," she said, alluding to the legal and political controversies swirling around him.
For more than a month, since the Free Press reported on personal text messages between the mayor and his top aide, Kilpatrick has been the focus of extraordinary controversy, with several members of Detroit's City Council calling this week for his resignation.
Kilpatrick has steadfastly denied acting improperly or illegally and vowed not to resign.
Williams said her office called Kilpatrick's office about a month ago to inquire whether the conference was still on. It goes to a different site annually.
"When we saw what was going on," she said, "we were reaching out to the mayor's office to say, 'Are we OK?' 'Is the conference OK?' The response was that the mayor wanted us to go to another site."
At least two other Michigan mayors -- Brenda Lawrence of Southfield and Hilliard Hampton of Inkster -- had planned to host participants in their cities, and both said they were informed that plans had changed.
"I'm still trying to sort it out, make sense of it," Hampton said.
He planned to host an outing at the Inkster Valley golf course. "It would have been nice to have this caliber of event in Detroit," he said. "I tell you, I was kind of disappointed."
The East Point, Ga.-based NCBM, whose Web site has a photo of Kilpatrick on its home page, represents 647 African-American mayors. About 300 to 400 of them usually attend the conference, spokesman Frederick Riley said.
"It's also a boost when you have people coming to your area, spending money, building the image as a community," Lawrence said.
The conference booked about 1,100 rooms at the MGM Grand Detroit about the time it opened in October -- "a significant contract," said Scott Grigg, spokesman for the hotel and casino.
He said conference officials called MGM staff earlier this week to cancel.
James Canning, Kilpatrick's spokesman, said Friday: "Unfortunately, we were unable to work out the logistics to ensure the annual convention could live up to the standards we have set as host city for Major League Baseball's All-Star Game, Super Bowl XL and the World Series."
He declined to elaborate, saying: "That's as deep into it as we were going to go."
Williams said she hopes the saga ends well for Kilpatrick.
"We're a very big supporter of Mayor Kilpatrick and we're praying that everything goes well on his behalf," she said. "And we're praying for the city of Detroit."
The scandal, which has garnered national attention, could culminate in perjury or other criminal charges against Kilpatrick and his former chief of staff, Christine Beatty. The text messages showed they lied under oath at a police whistle-blower trial when they denied that they had an affair and that they gave misleading testimony about firing a former cop.

Keep your ears perked for the sad sound of the tiny Black-Chinned Hummingbird as a melancholy 'tchew' note often announces their presence.
Due to their high metabolism, Black-Chinned Hummingbirds must eat constantly, feasting on nectar and insects, giving them energy for flapping their wings at incredible speeds.
The Black-Chinned hummingbird requires a constant energy source (nectar) and protein source (insects).
The very high metabolism of the Black-Chinned hummingbird is due to the incredible speed with which it flaps its wings, continuously burning the food it has consumed for fuel.
After feeding from the nectar of flowers, the Black-Chinned hummingbird carries the pollen to other flowers.
Birdfeeders.com is your leading online source for hummingbird feeders, hummingbird nectar, and bird baths. We offer the broadest and deepest set of quality bird feeders to make your hummingbird watching experience even more enjoyable!

The story of an aging rodeo star who returns to his home town and finds his family in trouble.
Genre: Westerns
Rating: PG
Release Date: 25-MAY-2004
Media Type: DVD
One of director Sam Peckinpah's lesser-known and little-seen outings, this is actually one of his most interesting for being so relaxed. Yet it deals with the themes that always interested him: the man who has watched the world pass him by and realizes that his time is gone. In this case, it's rodeo rider Junior Bonner (Steve McQueen), who returns home to try to win top prize in the bull-riding competition to raise money to stake his father (Robert Preston) to a future. As easy-going and good-natured as you'd like, with a delicious chemistry between Preston and a feisty Ida Lupino as Junior's estranged parents, who are still able to strike romantic sparks. Great rodeo footage captures both the violence and beauty of the sport. --Marshall Fine --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

super comfortable and beautiful home , even if I have some problems with the arrival he helped me perfectly .. I indicate all it was an exellent stay
This was my first airbnb experience and I couldn't have picked better host then Ramon. The accomodation was excellent, place was kept immaculately clean, very close to Rambla and Gothic quarter, well connected with public transport. Breakfast was enough to get you through the lunch time. Ramon is perfect host, he provided a pick up service for us for a resonable price from the airport and drove my son and me to the bus station free of charge. He is there for his guests 24/7. We had wonderful experience in Barcelona and would stay at Ramon's place again. I truly recommend it. Thank you Ramon for having us and making our experience in Barcelona unforgettable.
We just came back from our vacations in Barcelona where we stayed at Ramon place. The accommodation is really nice and cosy and location is very comfortable. Ramon is very kind person and really helpful. Besides traditional sightseeing, he will suggest a lot of activities, events and tips how to spend time in BCN even more interesting and unusual. I would strongly recommend to choose this accommodation not only because of good price/performance , but also because of the Ramon who will make a lot of suggestions to you in order to make your vacations even more incredible.
We spent 10 wonderful days in Barcelona. It was our first experience of renting a room and it was awesome thanks to Ramon's care and comfortable appartment. Comfortable room, cosy living room, fully equipped kitchen, position of appartment is just perfect. We are very happy and grateful for such a possibility to live among local people and to feel like at home. Many, many thanks to Ramon!
Ramon is a very good host, helpful, knowledgeable, and a person who wants your stay in Barcelona to be an enjoyable one. The apartment was probably better than I had anticipated. All facilities were available, including a good kitchen, plus a good sized bedroom, all in a very convenient location.

So when you're sitting at the dinner table eating turkey dinner for the tenth time or struggling to find room for all those new presents, consider yourself grateful. Please don't take anything you have for granted. What you consider such a normal part of the holidays are things people like me dream about and yearn for.

Company offers its home page advertisers a bonus cause-related ad unit.
In a bid to provide additional value for advertisers purchasing display campaigns, AOL has rolled out a new ad unit on its home page to allow brands to highlight philanthropic causes they might be involved with.
Brands buying a home page campaign with the portal will have the opportunity to make use of the unit - which is displayed under the main home page ad placement - but are not required to do so. AOL will fill the unit with causes from the Ad Council or Network For Good if no advertiser causes are filling it.
"We see this unit as added value for our homepage campaign advertisers," Christa Zambardino, a sales director at AOL told ClickZ.
Toyota was the first brand to make use of the cause unit last week - in conjunction with a home page takeover - to promote its TogetherGreen initiative, through which it is funding projects in partnership with conservation group Audubon. Today the unit is displaying an ad appealing for donations to HelpAge USA, via Network For Good.
"It's an evergreen placement, and we plan to promote a different cause every day of the year," said Blair Cobb, senior manager of cause marketing at AOL. The company will be entirely agnostic, allowing advertisers to dictate which causes they promote. "It's a vehicle for our advertising partners to say what it is they care about," Cobb said.
AOL has been experimenting with its ad offerings of late, in attempts to increase the value of inventory on its properties for advertisers. The company has scaled back the volume of ads published on its pages, but also trialed new ad formats such as its Project Devil unit. The product allows advertisers to pull a range of multimedia and social content into a single giant ad unit, through a module-based platform.
The company recently reported its display ad revenue continued to drop in the third quarter of the year, but CEO Tim Armstrong said he expected "signs of a turnaround" for the company in 2011. Overall, revenue fell 27 percent in the third quarter versus the same quarter last year.

Mr. Grand has also been named Co-Liaison Counsel in two consolidated litigations established for C.R.

CBS Slams Wall Street Bonuses, Stokes Class War Rhetoric
It was a perfect triple-play of anti-free market, pro-regulation and pro-Democrat bias – with some old fashioned class warfare thrown in for good measure.
In a segment of CBS's Nov. 12 "The Early Show," reporter Priya David cited a Bloomberg report that Goldman-Sachs and Morgan-Stanley have earmarked $6.8 billion and $6.4 billion respectively to pay end-of year bonuses.
"What's got many on Main-Street and Capitol Hill angry is that some of the $700 billion bailout package could go into the pockets of Wall Streeters, to pay their bonuses."
One of those angry was Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee Barney Frank, D-Mass. "These are people who lost enormous amounts of money," Frank said. "How do you give a bonus to someone for having failed so badly, as many of these people did?"
That's quite a charge coming from Frank, who's own connections to the failures of government-sponsored entititees Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac went unmentioned in the story.
As the Business & Media Institute has reported, Frank was romantically involved with a Fannie Mae executive for a decade, has received more than $40,000 in campaign donations from Fannie, and staunchly defended the government-sponsored enterprises from Republican calls for much-needed reform.
Frank also claimed that, "All of the money is supposed to go into new loans. None of it is supposed to go into compensation of any kind for the employees." Yet later in the report, David said that wasn't the case, "The bailout package specifies the top five executives of a company cannot get a golden parachute, but doesn't limit compensation for any other employee."
Also missing from David's report was any serious attempt to understand why the struggling companies would pay bonuses. She mentioned having spoken with "several compensation consultants who said that even in this economy firms are worried if they don't pay out the bonuses, they'll lose their top talent."
But neither those consultants nor anyone else appeared in the piece to argue that paying bonuses might be in best interests of the companies and, ultimately, the taxpayers who now have a stake in their success.
David capped off the report with a dash of class envy, noting that even without bonuses, the mean annual salary for a securities industry employee was nearly $400,000, "ten times more than the average

Oscars 2013: Nicole Kidman, Halle Berry, Other Presenters Announced
Sandra Bullock and Reese Witherspoon -- also best actress Oscar winners -- will present at the 85th Academy Awards.
Four Oscar-winning actresses have been announced as presenters at this year's Academy Awards: Halle Berry, Nicole Kidman, Sandra Bullock and Reese Witherspoon.
PHOTOS: THR's Oscar Nominees Night: Jennifer Lawrence, Steven Spielberg, Naomi Watts Celebrate at 2013 Bash
Berry won best actress for her role in 2001's Monster's Ball, playing a woman whose husband is on death row. Kidman's win came in 2002 for The Hours. Her portrayal of Virginia Woolf led her to be the first Australian to win best actress.
In 2009, Bullock took home her first Oscar for The Blind Side. She played Leigh Anne Tuohy in the semi-biographical film about the upbringing of football star Michael Oher. Witherspoon took home her Oscar in 2005 for her portrayal of June Carter Cash in Walk the Line. She did all of her own vocals in the Johnny Cash biopic, something that almost led her to forgo the role.

Previously announced presenters include the cast of Chicago, The Avengers cast (Robert Downey Jr., Samuel L. Jackson, Chris Evans, Jeremy Renner and Mark Ruffalo), Mark Wahlberg, Ted, Jean Dujardin, Christopher Plummer, Octavia Spencer, Meryl Streep, Charlize Theron, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Daniel Radcliffe and Channing Tatum.
