Dear CAST colleagues: The Spring 2014 CAST newsletter is complete and available for reading at http://castdiv.org/spring2014newsletter/index.html We begin the newsletter by thanking Peter Rony and Karl Schnelle for serving as co-editors of the CAST newsletter. As described in the Summer 2013 newsletter, Peter has served as newsletter editor for 27 years. Everyone in CAST appreciates Peter's work, particularly because the archived newsletters serve the important purpose of recording the history of the division. With Peter's stepping down as editor and Karl taking on the position of CAST 2nd Vice Chair, the CAST executive committtee entrusted Lakshminarayanan Samavedham (Laksh) with the responsibility of contributing as the Publications Board Chair. As Vice Chair of CAST, it became my job to update the format of the newsletter and to report on the events of the 2013 CAST awards banquet. We hope you enjoy the latest newsletter - please let us know if you spot any changes to be made or if you have ideas for a future newsletter article. --Ray and Laksh -- Raymond A.
