New motion controller also handles automation functions
The Kollmorgen PCMM is a new motion controller which can also run automation and logic functions. Available in the UK from Inmoco of Daventry, it can coordinate up to 128 axes or fully synchronise 32 axes without the need for a PC. The PCMM provides a compact yet powerful and cost-effective hardware platform which is ideally suited to modular or standalone machines that must combine flexibility with performance.
Both the motion control and the automation functions are programmed in the standard IEC 61131-3 languages using the intuitive Kollmorgen Automation Suite's Integrated Development Environment (KAS IDE).
The PCMM is plug-and-play compatible with Kollmorgen's broad range of motion control solutions and has Kollmorgen Workbench integrated into it so that it can provide axis configuration and diagnostics.
At the heart of the PCMM is a powerful high speed CPU, which gives it the capabilities for use with a broad range of applications. There is also an alphanumeric display for easy set up and fast diagnostics and a removable SD memory card for simple file storage and reloading. The on-board digital I/O can be expanded via EtherCAT for high-performance motion and device synchronisation, while PipeNetwork can be used for visual programming of the motion requirements.
Interfacing the PCMM with a machine's or plant's wider control systems is via a 100BaseT connection, which supports TCP/IP, Modbus, Ethernet/IP, Profinet, OPC, UDP and many fieldbus options.
The PCMM's embedded real time operating system guarantees performance and stability, while an integrated web server gives remote diagnostics and status checking capabilities. Even with all this capability the PCMM is compact in size making it easy and cost efficient to mount in a control cabinet, from where it can control multiple servo drives distributed around the machine or plant.

Google Pixel 3a, Pixel 3a XL users are reporting sudden, unexpected shutdowns
The Google Pixel 3a and the Pixel 3a XL (review), courtesy of its stellar camera, has certainly impressed us, but things haven't been great for a number of users who've already bought the phones.
According to numerous reports on Reddit, some users have started to experience random shutdowns from both the Pixel 3a and 3a XL. As per a report by Android Police, a hard reboot (sometimes requiring the user to hold the power button for up to 30 seconds) appears to be the only way to bring the phone back on.
One Redditor faced with the problem said, "I had two shutdowns yesterday, including overnight, causing me to miss my wake alarm." The user claims to have also tried using the phone "in 'Safe Mode' to eliminate any chance of a third party app causing it." In this instance, the issue continued, which led the user to believe the problem is hardware related.
However, another Reddit user on a separate thread on the same problem noted that the issue only seems to occur when their device is connected to WiFi, and that "Leaving the phone with wifi off seems to prevent the crashing altogether."
Others noted that Google was informed about the issue and that the tech giant advised a factory reset of the phone, which has so far proven an effective solution. Many others, meanwhile, have opted to return or exchange their phones.
Google has yet to publicly acknowledge the shutdown problem, so it's unknown whether it plans to issue a firmware update to resolve it.
To recall, the search giant's existing flagship, the Google Pixel 3 (review), was also plagued with early bugs, however, they were eventually fixed in a security update.

1:05 am
degrade somebody else is off-limits. >> tonight new questions about whether or not some of the paychecks clinton collected on the speaking circuit lay groundwork for big companies to exercise influence over her, if she moves back to the white house. here's why. an "associated press" review finds there are more than 60 companies that paid the former secretary big bucks to speak, while also competing for lucrative government contracts and more than 30 of those companies got the contracts. it wasn't illegal, but it could create a conflict of interest, if those companies continue to work with those companies while president. clinton said she won't release the transcripts because that would be a double-standard. if this is going to be treated as the new normal, she'll be happy to participate and make available everything she has, when everyone abides by the same standard. but the mystery of why she wants those speeches to stay secret is a centerpiece of the sanders'

against isis and russia's support for the renegade assad regime in syria. where a fragile cease-fire has begun to crumble. >> i have i've always been skeptical about mr. putin's actions and motive in syria, he's a preeminent backer of a murderous regime. >> it wasn't all business for the president. earlier in the day he and the first lady lunched at windsor castle with her majesty, queen elizabeth ii for her 90th birthday. later, the first couple spent time with kate. >> the the president got a little time with another roim. past his bedtime shannon but let me share a picture of prince george, the little 2-year-old heart-steeler, spending a little time with the president of united states. his sister, princess charlotte slept through the whole thing. the president also mentioned today his fondness for queen
1:10 am
elizabeth ii, he said she's an astonishing person and called her a real jewel. not just for the uk, but for the entire world and he also mentioned another royal, if you will. mentioning the late music icon, prince. the president said today he began his day by listening to an lp of the late singer. >> all kinds of royalty and the little picture of the prince flooded the internet this afternoon. >> and another update to a story we brought you earlier in the week. it appears that a british airways jet that officials thought was hit by a drone on sunday, may have been hit by a plastic bag. british transportation minister says early word of damage to the plane was incorrect. u.s. and iran are making a big money deal over several tons of nuclear material. correspondent doug mckelway is here with more. >> 8.6 million dollars for nuclear material. that's what the u.s. is paying
1:11 am
iran. as a part of the nuclear deal, iran is supposed to reduce the amount of heavy water that it possesses to under 130 tons during the first few years of the deal to under 90 tons in later years. the obama administration sees this purchase as a win-win situation. first, because the u.s. produces no heavy water itself. it buy it is on the international market. and in addition, heavy water has many uses here. such as in the manufacturing of fiber optics, semiconductors and nuclear weapons. and that's what has critics so incensed. among them, house speaker paul ryan, who fired off an angry response to the buy, quote this purchase part of what appears to be the administration's full-court press to sweeten the deal, will directly subsidize iran's nuclear program. yet another unprecedented concession to the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism. >> the administration is trying to say well iran is just living up to its obligations under the nuclear deal by producing only so much heavy water. but it shouldn't have heavy
1:12 am
water. it shouldn't be enriching uranium. the nuclear deal kept iran's entire nuclear infrastructure in place. >> when asked about payments to iran for the heavy water, a state department spokeswoman deflected the answer and abruptly ended the briefing. >> what kind of dollars are being used to purchase this heavy water from iran? >> okay so this was actually facilitated through the department of energy. i'm going to refer to you that. thanks, guys. >> meantime, iranian foreign ministers arrived in new york today, is putting pressure on secretary of state john kerry that sanctions are not happening fast enough. world bankers are unsure what iranian assets should be kept frozen. to remind bankers of the once prohibited transactions that iran can now participate in. >> doug mckelway, thank you so much. the pentagon says u.s. air strikes in iraq and syria are likely responsible for the deaths of 20 civilians since mid september. the total number of strikes

1:18 am
the u.s. is one of more tha 170 nations to sign a new climate agreement today. correspondent david miller reports on what it means for the u.s. ♪ ♪ >> it was historic. 171 world leaders, including some heads of state gathered at the u.n. to sign a climate change agreement reached last december in paris.
1:19 am
secretary of state john kerry who brought his granddaughter represented the u.s. >> we learned that 2015 was the hottest year in recorded history by far. >> the goal of the agreement is to lower the rate of global warming by reducing carbon emissions and other greenhouse gases, under the plan, each country sets its own targets, updating them every five years, the agreement also calls for $100 billion in aid to developing countries, joining the presidents, prime ministers and other diplomats was actsor leonardo dicaprio. >> the world is now watching, you'll either be lauded by future generations or vilified by them. >> the agreement takes effect only after at least 55 countries responsible for 55% of greenhouse gas emissions submit their government's approval or rad ratfy indication. china and the u.s. which account for roughly 40% of pollutants are crucial to the agreement's implementation, a potential
1:20 am
kplik complication is the obama administration. u.s. lawmakers critical of the paris agreement say congress can prevent the u.s. from taking part by cutting funding. >> they all assume if the president of the united states says we're committing money, somehow there is no legislators over here that say we have to appropriate the money. we have to authorize it and appropriate it. and we're definitely not going to do it. >> countries that agree to take part in the agreement and fail to fulfill their obligations can't be compelled to participate. >> the enforcement mechanism that the paris agreement relies on is naming and shaming. >> during today's signing ceremony, 15 countries including many island nations threatened by rising seas, were first to ratify the agreement. the u.s. says formal approval in the form of executive action in the next few months. >> fiat chrysler is recalling more than 1.1 million vehicles worldwide, drivers may
1:21 am
mistakenly they're in park when they're not. the recall covers 2012-2014 dodge charger and chrysler 300 sedans and 2014-2015 jeep grand cherokee suvs, owners will be notified. the stocks were mixed, dow gained 21, nasdaq lost 40. for the week the dow was up .6 of a percentage point. the s&p 500 gained about a half. nasdaq lost two-thirds of a point. horror stories are coming out of california, just days after its governor signed a new minimum wage law. hundreds of jobs are already being cut in what experts say is only the beginning. tonight correspondent will carr looks at the law's impact in one california community. >> with an unemployment rate of 10.6% more than twice the national average, business isn't exactly booming in fresno, california these days. that's not stopping conky's bar and grill, a popular downtown sports bar from trying to
1:22 am
survive. since california raised the minimum wage from $9 to $10 in january. the owner has been forced to raise prices, lay off a kk and replace him with three cheaper and faster waffle machines. >> every time i have to let somebody go, i'm letting go of a friend. taking away paying somebody $10 an hour and replace his job with $300 machine. >> now o'donnell is trying to swallow the $15 minimum wage that will phase in by 2022. governor jerry brown calls the increased wage economic justice. >> morally and socially and politically, they make every sense because it binds the community together. >> but it's a hike that fresno's chamber of commence believes could further damage the city's already-frail economy. >> there's still double-digit unemployment in fresno county and raising the minimum wage is not going to help that. >> in recent weeks, thousands have marched in cities across the country as part of the fight for $15, a push to help low-income workers, like vicky
1:23 am
advantage, a home health care worker who makes $10.25 an hour. >> with two jobs i'm going to see my check grow bigger so i can hopefully in the next three year, i'm going to plan to buy a house. >> it's a tough sell for o'donnell who says he may have to close before his employees can reap the benefits. >> how do you cope with that? >> i don't know. we're serving burgers and fries for $9.99. i don't think we can get customers to buy the same burger for $14.99. >> the legislation allows the governor to push the wage back one year if the economy goes south but struggling cities like fresno want more exceptions. as one still leader put it, a minimum wage increase doesn't matter if you don't have jobs to begin with. when we come back, one last call to come together from republican party leaders.
1:28 am
republican leaders are wrapping up their three-day spring meeting at a florida resort. before they go, another call for unity from the party chairman. chief washington correspondent james rosen in hollywood, florida, on how that's going over. >> calling politics a team sport, rnc chairman reince priebus closed out the spring meeting by urging delegates to unite around the party's eventual nominee, even as he issued an oblique warning to the front-runner donald trump to cease his attacks on the party's nominating process as rigged. >> our candidates are running for the nomination of the republican party. they're trying out for our team. no one is forcing them to wear our jersey. we expect our candidates to support our party. >> at that moment, however, staffers of an anti-trump superpac were flooding the diplomat hotel with literature mocking the billionaire. >> delegates were assured that
1:29 am
trump will raise millions to help the rnc and down candidates. >> we're running a donald trump campaign, it will have traditional elements to it. >> on wednesday, ted cruz showed up to emphasize his ties to the grassroots and ohio governor also made an appearance, touting his ability to defeat hillary clinton in a general election. one party leader suggested trump's absence did not hurt him. >> we know that no one can be in two places at the same time. the man is working hard to get the 1237 delegates. so if he didn't show, i forgive him. >> ultimately, the spring meeting ended with no recommended changes to party or convention rules, as preordained by chairman priebus and his allies. >> let's finish the game under these rules. >> in many ways, the rnc spring meeting represented a test of the strength of the party chairman, reince priebus, who by
1:30 am
all accounts exited with his standings improved. shannon? >> we will and see, james, thank you so much. america's election headquarters in-depth. one of the scenarios if republicans have a contested convention voinvolves governors controlling huge numbers of delegates. mike emmanuel shows us how that works. >> with the uncertainty of any republican delegate getting 1237 delegates. >> if we go to a second or third or fourmt ballot they'll be critically important, they're oftentimes presiding over their delegation, they're certain of the senior member in their delegation and if there's discussions to be had with various campaigns or other states, they'll go through the governor. >> the cycle is reminding some of the last gop-contested convention in 1976 when former california governor ronald reagan was challenging an unelected president joirld ford,
1:31 am
when ultimately ford prevailed. there's currently 31 gop governors from texas to new jersey, from south carolina to south dakota. >> we have more republican governors in our states, 31, than i think we've had since the 1920s. that's 90 years or almost 90 years. one way they can have an impact is six states with republican governors with upcoming gop primaries, maryland, indiana, nebraska, new jersey, and new mexico and south dakota. maryland governor larry hogan is very popular, but aides say he doesn't intend to endorse before tuesday. that leaves an opportunity for indiana's mike pence to play the role of king-maker and the candidates are reaching out to him. >> all eyes are turning to indiana. because trump won new york very big. he's likely to win pennsylvania. and other mid-atlantic states this coming tuesday. and beyond that, is indiana. >> mike pennsylvania could influence the climate of opinion among republican primary voters
1:32 am
and among the delegates that are selected to represent indiana statewide and in the congressional districts. as for endorsements, ted cruz leads with five current gop governors, donald trump has three, florida, maine, and new jersey and john kasich, a governor holds endorsements from three of his colleagues. experts suggest on the first ballot there will be a loyalty to a particular candidate or ideology. after that if we get there, many will look to their state governor for guidance on who best to guide the republican party forward heading into the general election. shannon? >> mike emmanuel, it will be interesting. formerfulens in virginia will soon be able to vote and run for office. democratic governor terry mcauliffe says restoring the rights of more than 200,000 convicted felons. mcauliffe says it will help undo what he called virginia's long history of trying to suppress the black vote. some big primaries ahead in california and in the red and blue. we're going to talk about the latest fox polls when the panel
1:37 am
talking about the kinds of things he's talked about on the stump. he's projecting an image that's for that purpose. you'll start to see more depth to the person. the real person. you'll see him in a different way. >> donald's campaign is now run by a washington lobbyist who has been a lobbyist for 40 years, they brought in an army of lobbyists running the entire campaign. yesterday they were down in florida meeting with party leaders and they were saying these are their words, that all of this is just a show. >> did you say that mr. trump is going to run a more traditional campaign? >> he's going to run a donald trump campaign. it will have traditional elements to it. >> let's bring in our panel, jason riley, columnist with the "wall street journal." amy walter, national editor for the cook political report and
1:38 am
syndicated columnist charles krauthammer. happy friday. jason, you have the recorded audio there of the man now heading up trump's campaign saying, sort of suggesting he's playing a role, he knows what he's doing, he'll morph into something more presidential. will it work if he's the nominee or is there too much material? >> i would love to see evidence of this pivot, we continue to see the juvenile tweets. we continue to see a demonstration of trump's lack of depth of knowledge on key issues, he keeps having to walk back statements or, or clarify statements on things like abortion or gay rights or the federal education department and so forth. i think it's because he lacks a fundamental understanding of republican positions. because he hasn't been a republican thank long, his affiliation of the party is really a matter of convenience, not principle and it's showing. >> that doesn't seem to matter to those who are supporting him,
1:39 am
they're choosing him versus choosing the party. >> they're choosing style over is your stance and they've decided that the issues themselves aren't as important as the projection that he's strong and he's going to stand up to the special interests, he's going to stand up to washington, the establishment. >> and china. >> we've got walls, tariffs and the whole bargain. i agree with jason that first of all the discipline has been very short-lived. the terms donald trump and discipline do not go together very easily and they tend to break up quite often. the other is that remember when mitt romney's campaign got in all that trouble by talking about the etch-a-sketch? you can just start over again? no, you can't. you don't start o'er again. the statements that he's made, the positions that he's taken, the things that he's done do not just magically disappear like an etch-a-sketch. they're going to be in ads from now until november. the democrats are going to bang them out over and over again. >> in the meantime, obviously his campaign, charles, is trying
1:40 am
to get to the magic number, 1237 before they get to the convention, hoping to stave off what could happen there. it could be an interesting, what could be an ugly process, let's look at some of the newest polling. indiana is going to be a very new state in making that happen or in the cruz campaign, the brand new polling, gop preference, trump at 41%, cruz, 33 and kasich taking in 16 percentage points, when you go into who may change their mind, 25% of gop voters said they could still be convinced to change their mind. critical. >> indiana is critical for cruz. he's already having trouble explaining why when he called for kasich, to pull out when he became mathematically eliminated from winning on the first ballot. now that cruz himself has reached that stage, why doesn't he pull out? he doesn't have a good answer, what he's hoping for is to last through indiana, win in indiana, make indiana his new wisconsin.
1:41 am
and then go to california which is wear everything is going to hinge. we also have numbers on that. and they are devastating for cruz, you've got trump almost 50%. >> he's at 49%. cruz, 22, kasich, 20. that's a new york massacre. if that happens and let's assume that indiana and california end up where the pollings are, i don't see how cruz has a claim. that will be enough to prevail. now maybe trump will come up short. i think for him there's an easy solution. you offer the number two spot to kasich. i don't know whether he would take it or not. i assume he would. it will be 150 delegates, he's over the top, it's over. i think that's where you have to look. this i think is going to be
1:42 am
decided. the new york result, 61% for trump. was so overwhelming, think it had a psychological effect. where if nobody stops trump in any of these states, notably, indiana or somewhere on the west coast, it's going to be hard to see how he's denied the nomination. >> i want to make sure we jump to the other side of the aisle before we run ott of time. today former secretary of state hillary clinton was out talking about the big banks and railing on them. which gives the sanders campaign another bite at the apple, release your speeches, she says that's not going to happen until everybody does it. sanders says he's not giving up. we want to play what he said about sticking it out. >> i'm realistic, it's a hard path, i admit that. but i think given the fact that we have now won some 17 states, it is a possibility. if we do not have a majority. i think it's going to be very hard for us to win.
1:43 am
the only -- fact that i think remains uncertain, is if we continue to be running significantly stronger than she is, against donald trump, or whoever the republican nominee will be, i think that's a factor. >> in the polling between these two, it's much closer than in the republican field, when you look at indiana and california. senator sanders admits this is a tough battle. >> clinton has won more states, won more votes, she has more pledged delegates, mathematically he is all but out of it. he'll go to the convention, get up primetime speaking slot. he'll make some demands on the platform. but he's not going to be the nominee. he's going to continue to push on things like the speeches. though it's curious, i'm curious why he's making a big deal of the speeches, but not making a big deal of the email and the secret server. which speaks to clinton's trust worthiness, and credibility so to speak. it's not, you know, it's not illegal to give these speeches,
1:44 am
she's not under federal investigation for giving speeches. it may be shameless to exploit your former job as secretary of state for these sums of money. but it's not illegal. so i'm sort of wondering why bernie sanders has picked this battle versus the one over emails. >> but amy, she still has to deal with him. >> and the reason is it does play much better with a democratic base, whereas i think the emails will play better in the general election. but the speeches play much better with the idea about this is a rigged system and she's part of the wall street establishment. but look, i think the real question going forward is what does sanders do after this is over? it's one thing to give a speech and make demands about being in a platform committee or having your positions in the platform. but he has to come out, if he wants to help her and embrace her in the way that she did to barack obama after 2008. remember they did a unity event right afterwards, there was a lot of talk that maybe hillary voters weren't going to support obama. he's got to bring those people

1:49 am
ultimately this is something that the british voters have to decide for themselves. but as part of our special relationship, part of being friends, is to be honest. and to let you know what you think. >> very few americans, perhaps including obama, this is not like nafta. imagine if nafta meant there was total free movement of people right throughout the americas, there would be uproar, wouldn't there? >> we're back with our panel to talk about the president's remarks, his press conference today. charles we'll start with you, the whole notion of whether britain stays as part of the european union. you know some folks feel it's controversial. that the president would go to a foreign country and weigh in on what's a big decision for them. he did say this is up to them to make this decision.
1:50 am
but he did express his opinion. >> it's slightly condescending to say to the people who invented democracy, that whether they stay in europe or not is their decision. that's pretty obvious. you don't have to come on a state visit to announce that, what is not obvious is why he intervened here. i think it's going to hurt cameron. this is a payback. when cameron came here during the debate over the iran deal -- scale and importance to the british. i think he made a huge gaffe when he said, you know, you assume you are going to be able to make a trade deal with the u.s. if you become independent, well, we're going to do it with europe because they are are the big boys. and you are small potatoes. you you are going to have to wait at the back of the line. it's not going to make the case and i think it's going to hurt cammeron. >> what do you make of the relationship. we are long-time allies and
1:51 am
a little bit of tension over this. >> there is a little bit of tension over. this all they, in this case, the president and cammeron are in similar situations where they are both leaders of countries that are having populist revolt in some sense. and they are both trying to push forward agendas that are not particularly popular, especially when it comes to the issues of globalization and trade. the president of course has his own trade deal that's being waylaid so to speak by this campaign and by the talk about getting america out of doing these big global trades. so, in some ways, it is a friend helping a friend in a similar situation in the fact that they both -- they know that the way the world is working has to keep going forward. the way that we are globalizing, but it is not particularly popular. and this was, i think, as much about that as anything else. >> jason, our president, our white house has not been happy with some foreign
1:52 am
leaders who have come here and at times made very public remarks about how they felt about big issues. >> charles mentioned cammeron's visit. but also israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu came here and weighed in on the iran deal. obama did not appreciate it. i'm sure britains don't much appreciate the president weighing in on the eu. now, there probably will be economic consequences, bad economic consequences for britain if they leave the eu. other countries like france and germany still in eu will not like it. they may retaliate. but this was a decision for britain's to make. the president should have said we will back our ally, britain, no matter what decision you make and left it at that. >> the president also addressed a controversial issue overseas today talking about some of these so-called bathroom deals that have been passed. here is a little bit about what he said about some of those recent passages here. >> the people of north carolina, mississippi are wonderful people. they are hospitable people
1:53 am
and wonderful states and you are welcome. i also think that the laws that have been passed there are wrong. although i respect their different viewpoints. i think it's important for us to not send signals that anybody is treated differently. >> there is plenty of information about these and they vary state by state. charles, it's something a little bit uncomfortable maybe for the president to talk about overseas where there have been warnings about some countries about traveling here because of the bathroom situation. >> i'm not sure how he can say he thinks they are wrong sips the ordinance in charlotte is one way. the state ordinance is the opposite of that how can they both be wrong? he didn't want to clarify himself. i know what his position is, but it's not said publicly. and if you are in london, i don't think you really need to address that. >> i think it was response to a question specifically. so i don't think that he went out and brought it up on his own. but, look, this is an issue like gay marriage was a few
1:54 am
years ago, this issue is going to be moving and the populist is going to be moving along on this issue in ways that i don't think many people.=lgo predicted. and i think we're seeing even within the republican party that there is a divide right now, especially between the business community and the more social conservatives. t any easier. >> quickly, jason, we have seen the slip between trump and cruz and trump today clarifying what he had said earlier about this. >> another clarification by trump. the president is protending that this is akin to jim crow. separate bathrooms for men and women is not the eequivalent for bathrooms for blacks and whites. the president knows that and should stop implying it. he is trying to rewrite antisex discrimination law to include gender identity. to include sexual orientation. a lot of americans have a problem with men who think they are women using the women's shower and so forth and these are people who>$0x @&@ have -- who are not out, they are not anti-gay.
1:55 am
they are not anti-gay rights. they just have a problem with this bathroom issue. i think the president should acknowledge that. >> all right. pam. thank you very much. stick around. it's time for winners and i wanted to know where my family came from. i did my ancestrydna. the most shocking result was that i'm 26% native american. i had no idea. it's opened up a whole new world for me.
1:58 am
1:59 am
the loser is andrew jackson being replaced on the $20 bill. war hero, two term president helped saved the nation. who is worthy being on our currency. >> he was controversial. is he going to take a bough off the 20, amy. >> my winner is the queen. she turns 90. she looks fantastic. i hope being look like that at 90. bernie sanders loser of the week. he needed a break in new york this week and instead he got blown out agree should be wearing hats in honor of the queen. next time. charles, your winner and loser. >> flip side winner is hillary it's all over unless james comey says otherwise. loser of the week is the president for the umteenth time, a terrible trip in saudih-xh> arabia, not just substance but ceremony. he wasn't greeted by the king by the airport by nobody of any substance. i'm told that actually he came in from riyadh airport
2:00 am
by uber. >> we all won because we got to see king george's bathroom. good night from fun games. guess who made people's most beautiful. >> jennifer aniston. >> no. welcome to hannity. we're four days away from five vital primaries. the candidates pounding the campaign trail senator ted cruz launched a new attack. here is part of what he said. >> donald's campaign is run by a washington lobbyist who has been a lobbyist for 40 years. they brought in an army of loblyists who alobly

Families Stand United in Support of Troops
By Samantha L. Quigley
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, March 7, 2007 - The group called "Families United for Our Troops and Their Mission" works publicly to ensure the troops know that the American people support them.
For example, on Veteran's Day, the group's Montana chapter placed American flags throughout the state's capital, said Merrilee Carlson, the group's president.
Families United for Our Troops and Their Mission was founded by Army Reserve Maj. Charles Larson, a former Iowa senator, in August 2005. The group is a member of America Supports You, a Defense Department program that highlights the ways Americans are supporting the nation's servicemembers.
"It was prompted by the need of the (servicemembers) serving to hear from us that we totally supported what they were doing," Carlson said of the organization, which counts Gold and Blue Star families, as well as veterans, among its members. "We wanted our young men and women to know that we were totally behind them."
Carlson said she was drawn to the group after losing her son, Army Sgt. Michael Carlson, while he was serving in Iraq with the 1st Infantry Division. She was looking for people who believed as she did and with whom she could connect. The organization offered that.
"One of the first things that we do is support one another," Carlson, said. "This group, it's a connecting force for all of us."
That support extends beyond the boundaries of the group's membership though. The group works to make sure servicemembers and military families find the right resources, an effort aided by the its membership in America Supports You, which Carlson praised as a "connector."
"We don't want to create one more thing, but we want to say, 'Look, these people are exactly what you're looking for,'" she said. "We also ... ensure that people are going to that Web site for the various options that are out there to help support our troops."
The group is introducing a new program this year, Carlson said. The program will be called "Strong and United for Our Country," and its goal is to ensure that Americans unite to support the troops and their mission.

Epitaph are streaming the new Alkaline Trio record via YouTube. The new album, My Shame Is True, is set for release April 2nd and is the follow-up to their 2010 album My Addiction.
This clunky stream is cut into separate YouTube videos so it's not the easiest of streams to get through, but we're getting a good feeling about the new album. Sounds like a positive follow-up that features the best of old and new Alk3.

CMU Researchers Praised for Publication
The world of minerals has many surprises. Searching for cheaper and non-toxic materials that provide high performance without compromising the environment is of paramount importance and complex minerals may be key to sustainable novel technologies.
CMU researchers Andrew Supka, Rabih Al Rahal Al Orabi, and physics faculty member Marco Fornari, working in collaboration with experimental groups in France and Japan, have discovered ways to improve the properties of mineral Colusite to make it more efficient in transforming waste heat into useful electrical energy.
Research in thermoelectric energy conversion has led to things such as mini-refrigerators, the source of energy that has kept the Voyager spacecraft alive since 1977, and devices that recover thermal energy losses in the automotive sector.
The editor of the international edition of Angewandte Chemie wrote: "According to the evaluation of referees the results reported in your Communication are "highly important" or even "very important". Less than 10% of our manuscripts receive such a positive review." This paper (
) follows work published recently in Advanced Energy Materials (
) and the Journal of the American Chemical Society (
). The combined impact factor of those journals exceeds 47.

Machine Learning Applied to Materials Science
A research article by Rajendra Joshi, a Science of Advanced Materials Ph.D. student from Nepal, was recently published in the journal, ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces.
His research, supported by grants from the Department of Energy, proposes a method, based on machine learning, that "allows us to do a very quick evaluation of the voltage that a material will provide in a battery," said CMU physics faculty member Juan Peralta. "Previously, testing materials was time consuming and expensive."
If a new material is found to provide useful a voltage, scientists and engineers can use that material to create new battery technologies, thus Rajendra Joshi's work allows for quicker and cheaper development of real world devices such as laptop computers and cellular phones.

The properties of a valuable hire
Required CMU undergraduate physics course takes seriously the matter of employment
Daniel Hatcher is graduating from Central Michigan University this spring with a master's degree in physics and a graduate certificate in data mining. He has a job lined up at General Motors as a business intelligence data analyst. While he is happy for what his future holds, getting a master's degree is not what he had planned when he graduated from college in North Carolina with a bachelor's degree in physics. He wanted a job. "But I didn't know what I was doing: writing a resume, a cover letter, trying to get an interview," he said. "I was just sitting at my kitchen table, opening job applications, filling them out and sending them off." He said he applied for about 50 positions. "I heard back from one, which told me that I wasn't qualified and asked me if I knew someone who was. It was demoralizing." If he had been a physics undergraduate at Central, he might have gotten that job.

Seeking keys to the universe
CMU team runs experiment at superconducting cyclotron to help solve nuclear puzzle
When two neutron stars collided in 2017 in a never-before-seen event, astronomers and astrophysicists were in seventh heaven, so to speak. Nuclear reactions from the exploding stars rained cosmic debris thought to be the source of gold, silver, platinum and uranium — heavy elements that astrophysicists say have enhanced the chemical composition of the universe. "My wedding band emerged from a neutron star merger," ScienceNews quoted Harvard theoretical astrophysicist Avi Loeb at the time. Understanding the conditions that create chemical elements is the goal of physics instructors such as Central Michigan University assistant professor Alfredo Estrade. But reproducing on Earth how these and other elements are created in the nuclear reaction of a stellar explosion is impossible — unless each step in the chain is studied separately, he said. To do that, a team of CMU faculty and students recently ran its experiment at one of the world's flagship nuclear science research facilities — the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory on the campus of Michigan State University.

Physics lab takes quantum leap
New space allows students to help create new materials for super-fast electronics
Central Michigan University physics faculty member Junjie Yang likens himself to a farmer. But instead of growing food, he is growing materials to power next-generation electronics and industry — and to empower CMU students to be the next leaders in those fields. Specifically, Yang is growing crystals from atoms, using physics and chemistry. His immediate goal is to create crystals that would be used to replace the current silicon wafers in computers and other electronics, making them much faster with greater memory. His dream is to grow new materials that would enable the control of both their electric and magnetic properties and operate at room temperature.

Driving for a better fuel cell
Energy Department grants power the work of an international team of CMU researchers
When Yazan Maswadeh, of Jordan, decided to pursue his Ph.D., he didn't search the web for universities, he looked for researchers who were doing work in his field of crystallography. "I was seeking high-level research. There are very few people in the world who are conducting this kind of research." That's how he found Valeri Petkov, a faculty member in Central Michigan University's physics department. "His research areas interested me," Maswadeh said. "So I just sent him an email saying that I am a student from Jordan who has just finished my master's degree in physics and my research interest is in atomic structural analysis. If you have a Ph.D. position, I would be a valuable component to your research." Petkov interviewed Maswadeh online and encouraged him to apply to CMU. "I did not have prior knowledge about CMU, or where it was located. But I thought 'I'll apply to this university.'" Now as a doctoral student in the Science of Advanced Materials program in CMU's College of Science and Engineering, Maswadeh is part of an international team of CMU researchers working to identify the weak points in fuel cells and give feedback to other researchers to improve them. The research is being funded by another $238,000 in a seven-year string of grants from the U.S. Department of Energy.

LIGO uncovers the birthplace of gold and other heavy elements in the death spiral of neutron stars
Recent discoveries fuel CMU research
By Dr. Alfredo Estrade & Dr. Georgios Perdikakis / Photo courtesy of NSF/LIGO/Sonoma State University/A. Simonnet
When the history books are written, the past year in physics will be one remembered by violent cosmic events and the birth of a new type of astronomy – one based on gravitational waves.
It all started in 2016 with the first detection of a collision between black-holes by LIGO, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory. As a result, the pioneers behind LIGO's development, Rainer Weiss, Kip Thorne, and Barry Barish, where awarded the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics. LIGO allows us for the first time to feel --actually hear by means of an actual audible chirp-- the ripples caused to the very fabric of space time when compact objects such as massive black holes and neutron stars many times the mass of our sun merge spiraling into each other.
But that discovery was just the tip of the iceberg. This week a collaboration of LIGO and other observatories announced the discovery of a merger between two neutron stars, a very exotic cosmic event that had long been predicted by astrophysics theories but never observed. In August 17th, just as the USA was preparing for a solar eclipse, a gravitational wave signal was felt by both LIGO and a similar European observatory (VIRGO), at the same time as a burst of gamma-rays was observed by the Fermi gamma-ray telescope. It looked like a neutron star merger event, so it triggered an alert for a number of survey telescopes that frantically started scanning the sky to find a smoking gun. When a new shiny bright object was found a few hours later in a galaxy far far away (NGC 4993), the astronomy community went into overdrive and every respectable telescope was pointed in that direction!
A neutron star is likely the most dense and hard and stiff object in the universe; the mass of a star like the sun all packed into a sphere the size of Mount Pleasant! Scientists have long suspected that many of such beasts are not alone, but spend their life dancing around another neutron star partner for millions of years until their orbits become so close that they merge in a violent cosmic collision. After the ripples of the collision where detected by LIGO, optical telescopes observed a beautiful display of cosmic fireworks that shone 200 billion times brighter than our sun and quickly faded away in about a week: the fascinating event was baptized a Kilonova.
The observation of the neutron star merger is a treasure of data to test physics and astrophysics theories, ranging from cosmology to nuclear physics question. One of the most important pieces of information relates to the origin of the chemical elements in our world, and has CMU Professors Alfredo Estrade and George Perdikakis (and the rest of the nuclear astrophysics community) particularly excited. Astrophysicists had long speculated that during a merger the conditions would be just right so the material spewed out by the collision – mostly neutrons – would rearrange itself in an act of stellar alchemy to create most elements beyond Tin in the periodic table. So astronomers where looking for them in the wreckage of the merger… and they found gold! Not just a bit of gold; Many Septillion - a billion quadrillions (or 10^24) - pounds of gold! Many many gold atoms in mint new condition; enough to make ten planets of pure and only gold with the mass of the earth… And not just gold; also the iodine of your Thyroid, the lead that might poison your water pipes, or the uranium in the core of nuclear power plants.
What we witnessed for the first time was a nucleosynthesis event that creates all those heavy elements that, after being ejected into the interstellar medium, will be recycled into new planets and stars, in a continuous cycle of galactic chemical evolution. This has confirmed that the bizarre theories about how the elements are formed might actually be correct! It will allow nuclear astrophysicists to test many details about theories on the origin of the elements – for example how the nuclear reactions that Prof Estrade and Perdikakis measure with experiments at accelerator labs contribute to the formation of gold and other heavy elements – and likely discover new surprises along the way.

CMU student gets competitive fellowship
Physics major devotes years to reaching coveted goal
Reed Kolany, a physics major at Central Michigan University, certainly isn't one to stand around and wait for opportunity. Back when he was a CMU freshman, the Naperville, Illinois, resident decided he wanted to be a medical physicist. Not long after, he set his sights on a highly competitive fellowship offered by the American Association of Physicists in Medicine. He knew that as a freshman he'd likely be turned down. So Kolany decided to "build his resume" like fine masonry and wait to take his biggest swing as an upperclassman. And so, it happened. By the middle of his junior year the fellowship was his. Kolany was one of seven students in the country to land one.

Solar eclipse has CMU physics faculty totally fired up
Some profs crossing the country to get front-row seats
The upcoming solar eclipse has some Central Michigan University faculty so pumped that they're hitting the road to catch the event in its full glory. The moon will cover 80 percent of the sun when the eclipse hits Michigan on Aug. 21. That sounds like a lot, but the difference between 80 percent and the full shot is huge, according to Axel Mellinger, an associate professor in CMU's physics department. "Some people have compared it to watching the Super Bowl from the parking lot versus being inside the stadium," he said.

CMU nuclear astrophysics experiences around the world
Nuclear astrophysics, as an interdisciplinary field, requires a coordinated effort from various areas in physics and astrophysics to answer its most challenging questions. Experimental and theoretical nuclear physics, astrophysical models, astronomical data, or atomic physics experiments, are some of the fields that contribute to our understanding of the stellar processes that enrich the chemical composition of the universe. This expertise is often scattered across distant institutions, and even different countries, and international workshops and conferences are essential to keep the field moving forwards. In recent months three graduate students from Central Michigan University had the opportunity to participate in such meetings. Panagiotis Gastis, and Stylianos Nikas attended the Astrophysical Nuclear Reaction Network School in Schmitten, Germany, to learn about modern computational tools in nuclear astrophysics. Neerajan Nepal participated in the Joint JINA/CEE Winter School on Nuclear Astrophysics in Shanghai, China, which aimed to bring together young researchers in the field from the US and China. Both of them presented talks about their research projects in these meetings. It was an enriching experience, not only through learning of new scientific tools and topics that apply to their own research projects, but also from the opportunity to expand their network of fellow scientists around the world.

Understanding the cosmos
CMU physicists can benefit from monumental discovery
Last Thursday, humanity made one significant step forward in the understanding of the cosmos. Scientists from the California Institute of Technology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Louisiana State University announced that in September 2015 they detected, for the first time, the ripples in space-time created by the dramatic collision of two black holes 30 times the mass of our sun. Gravitational waves, as these ripples are scientifically known, were first suggested by Albert Einstein in his general theory of relativity about a century ago, in 1915.

CMU researchers study isotopes at national superconducting cyclotron
In February 2015, CMU M.S. physics student Adam Bryce and physics professor Matthew Redshaw participated in an experiment at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory to measure the atomic mass of two radioactive carbon and oxygen isotopes. The isotopes that were studied have fewer neutrons than the stable carbon and oxygen atoms found in nature, so only live for a few minutes after they are created with the cyclotron accelerator. However, this is enough time to catch them in an ion trap and measure their atomic mass to a precision of a few parts-per-billion. The results have been used to study the so-called superallowed beta-decays that these isotopes undergo and contribute to tests of fundamental theories in physics, including the Standard Model of particle physics. The results were recently published in two papers in the high-impact physics journal Physical Review Letters.
