  A selection of results from the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at
Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) from 2012 to 2013 is presented together
with a few newsworthy developments in this period. The move of the g-2 magnet
from BNL to Fermilab for the "fifth muon g-2 experiment" inspired a brief
discussion of the original g-2 experiments at CERN. Highlights of the past year
include a change in the measurement of the suppression of large transverse
momentum ($p_T$) particles in the Quark Gluon Plasma to a measure of the
fractional shift in the observed $p_T$ spectrum from the expected A+A spectrum
for independent collisions as an estimate of the energy loss in the medium. The
p+Pb run at LHC in early 2013 spurred new or improved measurements in d+Au at
RHIC which included the observation of elliptical flow in d+Au collisions and
measurements of transverse energy ($E_T$) spectra in p-p, d+Au and Au+Au
collisions at 200 GeV nucleon-nucleon c.m. energy which demonstrated that
constituent quarks are the fundamental element of particle production in all 3
systems. Measurements of identified hadrons in d+Au show a huge Cronin effect
for protons but no effect for mesons. An important step for the future was the
acquisition by BNL of the superconducting solenoid used in the BABAR experiment
at SLAC for use in future experiments at RHIC and possibly eRHIC, starting with
an upgrade of the PHENIX experiment called sPHENIX.
