On a happier note than the previous post, the American Physical Society has launched a new publication, called simply "Physics." The goal is "to highlight exceptional papers within the body of excellent research that the American Physical Society publishes each year in all of the Physical Review journals."

The first issue features a really good piece by Steve Rolston on ultra-cold plasmas (full disclosure: Steve was my supervisor at NIST, and I was an author on the first ultra-cold plasma paper, so I'm inclined to like this stuff), and Steve Lamoreaux on Casimir forces. If they can maintain this level of quality, Physics will be a must-read.
