In the absence of an official post from SE, I'd like to announce that a new moderator is taking over for Ben Alpert:
Dr Mayhem is already a moderator on Security and Personal Productivity and has been one of our most involved users, currently third for rep with 12.1k, so I am confident he'll do a great job! Thank you for contributing your time to the site.
Please see the original Pro Tem announcement for more information on Beta moderators, and this page which lists all current moderators and also links to more information about the mod selection process.
