February 6, 2013  The editors of the APS journals have selected 142 new Outstanding Referees for 2013, out of more than 60,000 currently active referees. Initiated in 2008, the highly selective Outstanding Referee program recognizes scientists who have been exceptionally helpful in assessing manuscripts for publication in the APS journals. Selections are based on two decades of records on the number, quality, and timeliness of referee reports. The 2013 honorees come from 27 different countries, with large contingents from the US, Germany, UK, Canada, and France. The decisions were difficult and there are many excellent referees who have yet to be recognized. By means of the program, APS expresses appreciation to all referees, whose efforts in peer review not only keep the standards of the journals at a high level, but in many cases also help authors to improve the quality and readability of their articles—even those that are not published by APS. For more information and a listing of all Outstanding Referees, please visit http://publish.aps.org/OutstandingReferees.

October 16, 2012  Today ORCID opened its registry allowing researchers in all fields and from around the world to distinguish themselves by registering for their own unique identifier. APS has been a long-time supporter of ORCID and, as one of the official Launch Partners, we have updated our author profile application so that authors may register their ORCID within our database of authors and referees. Widespread adoption of ORCID identifiers will improve the scholarly record and help researchers receive proper credit for all of their contributions. To get started, simply visit the APS Author Profile application.

October 1, 2012 We are extremely pleased to announce that Eli Ben-Naim of Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is assuming the Senior Editor position of Physical Review E (PRE). Eli was previously an Editorial Board Member for the journal, and is an APS Fellow and Outstanding Referee. He is a very active researcher in many areas of relevance to the journal, and deputy group leader for condensed matter and complex systems at LANL. Eli was selected by a search committee chaired by Katepalli Sreenivasan of New York University from a group of outstanding candidates. We welcome Eli into the Physical Review family of journals, and are confident that PRE will continue to flourish while benefiting from his leadership and experience. More News/Announcements

October 1, 2012 Gary Grest of Sandia National Laboratories has stepped down as Senior Editor of Physical Review E (PRE). Gary has promoted PRE as the leading journal for statistical, nonlinear, and soft matter physics since 2002, and during his tenure, the journal's coverage of biological physics, complex systems, and networks has continued to expand. Gary led PRE through a reinvigoration of the review process and raised standards. Over his ten-year term, submissions to the journal grew substantially, while the number of published papers remained roughly constant. We are very grateful to Gary for his dedication and service to the journal.

September 25, 2012  Congratulations to the winners of the 2012 Ig Nobel Prizes in Physics and Fluid Dynamics. Raymond E. Goldstein, Patrick B. Warren, and Robin C. Ball received a share of the Physics prize for their work on the shape and motion of human hair when bundled in a ponytail, Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 078101 (2012). For additional information, see Ponytail Physics for a brief synopsis published in Physics. Rebecca Thompson, APS's Head of Public Outreach, wrote on the Physics Central blog about her attempt to duplicate the ponytail research. H.C. Mayer and R.
