Wonder if Plan B is a 3-4 look We have the coaches, still need to sign the players and most of the DE's out there are 3-4 DE. Several tweener DE's in the draft for 34 OLB. We all hashed through it before but not many pass rushers out there for a 4-3. Ravens and raiders 34de out there. Raji better as a 34dt than de, Ratliff comes from a 34 in Dallas. I no it seems far fetched but Emery also said they would play to the players they have and right now not seeing a 43 de except the vike Allen. Wish we got Bennett but looks like we would have overpaid, Briggs is the only player that may not fit a 34 who is signed. Unfortunately he is the best player on defense. Eager to see plan B but thinking we may be more 50-50 or more on alignment and thinking it may not be 4-3 as desired.

When it Comes to Negotiations, it's All About Leverage
Let's talk contract leverage for a second.
Now granted, if you ever get lucky enough to get drafted (or make a team as an undrafted free agent) you'll have to wait at least four or five years before you'd probably ever have to deal with this, but it doesn't hurt to know it anyways.
Today I'm going to share a few examples of situations that shift the leverage to either the player or team's side, when it comes to asking for, or negotiating a contract with an NFL team.
Quite often, leverage is out of your control, but when you control it, you'd better take advantage of it.
It's not about being deceitful, it's just the way it goes when it comes to negotiations in any industry, not just pro football.
Because of all of the different scenarios that could exist, this is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all of the different scenarios that could take place.
What I'll do is list a high-level explanation of the scenario in bold letters, followed by a brief example of a situation that occured recently in contract negotiations between a player and an NFL team.
Note: I don't have inside knowledge of the strategy of the players in these situations, so I'm only going off of how things appear from the outside. The players and their respective agents (as well as the teams involved) could very well have other plans.
Leverage just tends to be something that's available for the world to see when it comes to pro sports because details, such as acquisitions, salary cap space, and contract details are pretty much readily available for public knowledge).
Let's start out with some of the ways a player can gain leverage.
How Players Can Gain Leverage
|Redskins LB London_Fletcher
Even when a player lacks any true leverage, holding out is something players do anyways.
It's like a trump card that the player always holds.
While it's indeed similar to a trump card, it doesn't always work.
When players lack true leverage, it doesn't have as much of an effect, but when it's all you have, it's all you have.
The player can hold out, hoping that the team wants him there so bad that they'd be willing to rework his deal or give him an extension.
As I type this, in mid-May 2012, Dwayne Bowe appears to be going this route.
He was given the franchise tag by the Chiefs earlier this off season, and he still hasn't signed it.
It appears that he's going to holdout, to try to see if him missing workouts is going to convince the Chiefs to do a new deal with him so he can report.
2. Being a Pro Bowler, All Pro and/or Super Bowl Winner
Even though he's 37, linebacker London Fletcher has some pretty decent leverage in his attempt to get what will likely be the last deal of his career.
As a three-time Pro Bowler, and being in the Pro Bowl as an alternate as recently as the 2012 Pro Bowl, it sweetens the deal for him, because it's proof that he's still a top-level linebacker, despite his age.
Don't get me wrong, being a pro bowler and having a Super Bowl on your resume doesn't necessarily mean that you're going to get anything you want in a negotiation.
Still, the leadership, experience, productivity, and pedigree someone like London can bring to your defense can definitely give you some much-needed leverage when it comes to negotiating for a new contract.
3. Being Irreplaceable
Now this one kinda goes along with the previous point, but you don't always have to be a current Pro Bowler.
Yes, Wes Welker has been to the Pro Bowl four times now, and he didn't go to the 2012 Pro Bowl, but it doesn't take a football genius to know that Wes Welker is irreplaceable.
Unfortunately for Wes, he's trying to get a new contract with the Patriots, which is a team that is known to make any player feel replaceable.
Wes might've normally been able to use that leverage for a new contract with any other team but the Patriots.
In fact, he's already publicly stated that there's no way he's going to miss games in the 2012 season.
|Patriots WR Wes_Welker
Some say Wes Welker could've threatened not to report to camp and holdout for his new contract partially due to leading the league in receptions, yards after catch, for several years in a row, even though he was offered a $9.5 million one year deal as a franchise player.
On the flip side, as we already discussed, he gave up some leverage by making it clear that he didn't plan on holding out of any games during the 2012 season.
5. Threatening to Retire
You can gain leverage by threatening retirement, if you're a future hall of famer type player like Ed Reed, espcially since Terrell Suggs is injured, and may be gone for the entire 2012 NFL season.
Ed Reed has said that he wants a new contract.
He's also flirted around with retirement. Situations like this can put the team in a position where they need the player more than the average player, which gives Mr. Reed the leverage in this situation.
You can only get away with this one when you're an irreplaceable player like Ed Reed, who's arguably the best safety in the history of the NFL.
I'm not saying Ed's been bluffing on his thoughts of retiring, but even if he's serious, it's smart to play your cards right, and it appears that Ed Reed intends on doing just that.
6. Team Lacks Solid Options on the Roster at Your Position
Even though it appears Forte is serious about holding out now in 2012, many believe that the 2011 season provided more leverage for Forte, because not only was he a year younger (and we know that every year counts as a running back, especially), but the only other running backs the Bears had was an aging Marion Barber and Khalil Bell.
Forte was holding out, but decided to come back and join his teammates in training camp in 2011.
That very well could've been a great opportunity to get what he wanted.
In part two, we'll continue looking at some more ways players can gain leverage, then take a look at ways the teams can gain leverage.

Proposal to shift East Coast Railway conspiracy of UPA: BJD
By Express News Service - BHUBANESWAR
Published: 13th September 2013 10:20 AM
Last Updated: 13th September 2013 10:22 AM
Describing the proposal of Union Minister for Panchayati Raj V Kishor Chandra Deo to shift the headquarters of the East Coast Railway (ECoR) from Bhubaneswar to Vishakhapatnam as a conspiracy of the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) against Odisha, members of the ruling BJD on Thursday launched a three-day state-wide protest against it.
BJD leaders took out a procession from Master Canteen square here to Bhubaneswar railway station where they staged demonstration shouting anti-UPA slogans. The BJD leaders also staged a demonstration in front of the Cuttack railway station.
Deo's proposal has sparked off strong reactions from all political parties including the Congress. The Union Minister had submitted the proposal before the Antony Committee, which is looking into the situation arising out of the decision to form a separate Telangana State, to shift the headquarters of ECoR to Visakhapatnam from Bhubaneswar.
The Minister had also suggested shifting of the South Eastern Railway (SER) headquarters, which is now located in Kolkata, to Bhubaneswar as a compromise. However, the proposal has been described by both Congress and BJD leaders as unnecessary.
"ECoR came to Odisha after a long struggle in 2003. This is a conspiracy by the Congress-led UPA Government at the Centre and an insult to Odia people," senior BJD leader and State Finance Minister Prasanna Acharya said.
Meanwhile, the Odisha Pradesh Congress Committee (OPCC) has demanded that all zones and divisions in Odisha which are not in the ECoR should be included in it with headquarters in Bhubaneswar. There should be no question of shifting of the headquarters from Bhubaneswar, OPCC president Jaydev Jena said and asked Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik to submit a proposal before the Centre and the Railway Ministry in this regard.
Though the BJD is in power for the last 13 years, the Chief Minister never submitted a proposal to the Centre to increase the boundaries of the ECoR, Jena said.

In the Land of Lincoln
Our adventure really began this past winter when Iowa Public Television aired a four part documentary on the lives of Abraham and Mary Lincoln. But I�ll admit that I have been a Lincoln admirer since grade school and so this pilgrimage has been a long time in the making.
Like all savvy travelers, I started on-line to see what Springfield had to offer in the way of Lincoln history and sights. Not only is Springfield the capital of Illinois but it is the location of the only home Lincoln ever owned. The travel guide indicates that Springfield is one of the most visitor friendly cities in America, and the city that Abraham Lincoln loved. That was enough for me. With a click of the mouse I ordered the requisite tourist information and was off and running.
The Memorial Day weekend seemed "altogether fitting and proper that we should do this." So with deposits sent, the car serviced and our child in his booster seat our family set out for the Land of Lincoln.
Lincoln himself is a paradox to me. Log-splitter and statesman; military strategist and loving father; simple farmer and great orator. He received only eight months of formal education in his life and yet became one of the most influential men in our nation�s history. Springfield was the city he called home before he moved to the White House. His law practice was there and he began socializing with politicians there.
The House Lincoln Built
Abraham and Mary Lincoln bought the Greek revival style cottage which sits on the corner of Eighth and Jackson in 1844. They purchased the home from the Reverend Charles Dresser who had married the Lincoln�s two years before. As the Lincoln family grew so did the house. Eventually a second floor would be added. Three of the four Lincoln sons were born in the house and one, Eddie, died there.
The years in Springfield were happy ones for the Lincolns. As Abe built his law practice, Mary set to keeping the house and raising the children. Mary Todd Lincoln was from a wealthy Kentucky family and had only lived in Springfield a short time when she met the hard working lawyer. Despite their many differences the two were married on November 4, 1842.
Mary had been raised in affluence with servants and was well educated. Her education did not include housekeeping and cooking. She taught herself to cook and did virtually all the cooking for the household. Eventually she did hire servants that helped her tend the house and care for the children.
Abraham�s business, both legal and political kept him away from the house for months at a time and so when he was home he could not bear to discipline the boys. Much is said about the antics of Willie and Tad Lincoln. With Robert away at school Tad and Willie kept things lively around the house. Our tour guide told us the boys would often knock off the tall (stovepipe) hats of the men who passed by the house while they hid behind the fence.
Another story of the boys pranks happened when Mary was entertaining the fashionable ladies in the formal parlor of their home. As the story goes, the boys crept into the parlor unnoticed and quietly untied the ribbons from the backs of the ladies dresses. Then they very quietly retied the ribbons to the chairs. When the ladies rose to leave their chairs did too.
William Herndon, who was one of Lincoln�s law partners once quipped; "Lincoln worshiped his children and what they worshiped; he loved what they loved and hated what they hated.
The formal parlor in the house is a room with a great history. When the Lincolns first bought the home there was a small parlor and bedroom in that spot. The Lincoln boys were born in that room. Once the home was enlarged the bedroom was moved to the second floor and the parlor was then enlarged. It is said that Mary Lincoln would hold large parties in that one room of the house. On one occasion she entertained 500 guests in the parlor. However, not all at the same time. On the invitation she wrote not only an arrival time, but also a departure time, so that one group would leave as the next would arrive. It was considered rude to overstay your invitation.
It was also in the formal parlor in 1860 that delegates from the Republican party notified Abraham Lincoln of his nomination as candidate for President of the United States.
There are about 40 original pieces from the Lincolns in the house. One is Mr. Lincoln�s writing desk and another his shaving mirror. The stove on which Mary Lincoln learned to cook and prepared the meals for the family remains. The bannister to the second floor is original and as I ran my hand along it, I was struck by the fact that the great man himself had also run his hand along this bannister. Even the outdoor "biffy" stands intact, and in case you�re wondering, it is a three seater.
The Springfield Historical Society has done a wonderful job of acquiring and restoring the houses along 8th Street. Many of the houses are open for touring and all have plaques in front that tell a little about the families that lived there during the time the Lincolns did, and also how they may have been tied to the Lincolns. I couldn�t help but marvel as I walked where he had walked and saw things he might have seen.
The Lincolns left Springfield for Washington on February 11, 1861. To the crowd gathered at the train station Lincoln said: "Here I have lived a quarter of a century, and have passed from a young to an old man. Here my children have been born, and one is buried. I now leave, not knowing when, or whether ever, I may return....To this place and the kindness of these people, I owe everything."
Eventually Robert Lincoln became sole owner of the house at the corner of Eighth and Jackson, and in 1887 donated the house to the people of Illinois, with the stipulation that there would never be a charge to see the house. The State of Illinois donated the home to the United States in 1972 and it is now maintained by the National Park Service.
Other Lincoln Sites
� The Lincoln-Herndon Law Office is located near the Old State Capitol. Both are preserved and have regular tours.
� There is the Train Depot from which the Lincolns departed for Washington D.C. At his departure Lincoln was quoted: "No one, not in my situation, can appreciate my feelings of sadness at this parting." The depot is fully restored and includes a waiting room for ladies and "one for luggage and tobacco-spitting men."
� The First Presbyterian Church is home to the "Lincoln pew" Like many other families at the time the Lincolns maintained a pew at their place of worship. Mary Lincoln was a member of the church, but her husband never became a member, although he did pay for the pew and attended occasionally.
� The Lincoln Memorial Garden has five miles of walking trails and is located on the shore of beautiful Lake Springfield. It was designed by Jens Jenson and built by the Springfield Garden Club.
� The Lincoln tomb is a short drive from the city center at Oak Ridge Cemetery. The permanent resting place of our 16th president sits high on a hill overlooking much of Springfield. The tomb was constructed by the National Lincoln Monument Association at a cost of $171, 000. It was designed by Larkin Mead and dedicated on October 15th, 1874. At the entrance of the tomb is a bronze bust of Lincoln sculpted by Gutzon Borglum, who also sculpted Mt. Rushmore. While most of the sculpture is weathered bronze, the nose shines brightly as it is custom for everyone who enters to touch the nose of the president.
Surrounding the president�s burial marker are the flags from the states of his ancestors, and of the states where he lived. In the center is the United States flag an

Why Pa. needs prescription drug database: Guest Voice of Deb Beck and Rep. Joe Hackett
Please hear our plea. I am Deb Beck, a longtime drug and alcohol addiction treatment clinician, now president of the Drug and Alcohol Service Providers Organization of Pennsylvania. I'm joined in this Guest Voice column by state Rep. Joe Hackett, R-Delaware County, who served the Ridley Township community for 20 years as a police officer before being elected to the Pennsylvania General Assembly.
Representing addiction treatment and law enforcement, we speak together with one voice: It's time for our state to step up and enact prescription drug monitoring legislation. Forty-eight states have already done so. What are we waiting for?
With every day that passes, another family is confronted by needless tragedy.
Another family loses a son, a daughter or a spouse to a prescription drug overdose. At our offices and in our neighborhoods, we hear from distraught family members, pleading, crying out for action.
It is time for Pennsylvania to step up and take a few logical steps forward to reduce these preventable, entirely needless deaths.
The prescription drug and prescription opiate problem is coming at us from many directions at the same time: through addiction, health problems, drug-fueled crime and mayhem on our highways.
In fact, if your family or friends haven't been touched by this problem, you are just plain lucky.
In Pennsylvania, drug-related overdose deaths now outnumber traffic fatalities, with prescription opiates leading the increase in these deaths. Nationally, prescription drug overdose deaths outnumber deaths from heroin and cocaine combined.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention calls the prescription drug problem an epidemic.
In Pennsylvania, we have the ninth-highest prescription drug overdose death rate in the country.
The prescription drug problem is also driving a frightening increase in use of heroin in Pennsylvania. We hear story after story about Pennsylvanians switching to heroin use after developing an addiction to prescription opiates.
Legislation pending in Harrisburg, House Bill 1694, would establish a confidential prescription drug database for health-care professionals who prescribe or dispense prescription medication with high potential for addiction, abuse and diversion.
These drugs include controlled substances such as OxyContin, Oxycodone, Benzodiazepines, Percocet, Vicodin, Valium, etc.
The legislation has passed the state Senate and is currently in the House Health Committee.
This database will assist health-care professionals and law enforcement in improving patient care, reducing drug diversion and identifying doctor shoppers.
Currently, this information is not available to doctors and pharmacists.
In addition, the legislation calls for continuing education for health-care professionals on identification and referral to addiction treatment.
The prescription drug monitoring legislation now pending in Harrisburg won't solve all of the problems here, but it will save lives.
Let's stop the needless tragedy.
Let's enact prescription drug monitoring legislation in Pennsylvania.
DEB BECK is president of the Drug and Alcohol Service Providers Organization of Pennsylvania, based in Harrisburg (firstname.lastname@example.com).STATE REP. JOE HACKETT, of Ridley Township in Delaware County, has served in the state House of Representatives since 2010 (firstname.lastname@example.com).

Greeley police are investigating a stabbing that happened late Wednesday in the parking lot of the Cactus Canyon, near the Greeley mall.
Not much was immediately known about what happened, however, Greeley police Sgt. James Roybal said it occurred about 9:42 p.m.
"It had nothing to do with the business," he said. "No one there even knew it happened."
He said a man was stabbed in the parking lot south of the night club, 1742 Greeley Mall. He said no other information about the stabbing was available, however, he did not think the wounds to the man were life threatening.

used to label sub attached to N in 2ndary and 3rd amines
list separate ones for each diff. substituent
have O on other side of carbonyl w/ alkyl or aryl group attached to it:
both DB to both oxygen and nitrogen => carbon is polar and can be attacked by Nu:
N analogs of enols, instead of OH, an amine group is attached to C=C (enamines are to N as enols are to O):
compounds w/ N2 functionality, w/ two Ns at the end of a chain resonating between DB and TB
lose N2 => carbenes
highly reactive carbons w/ only 6 valence electrons (usually seen as C w/ two R groups and a lone pair of electrons)
tend to have 6 valence electrons distributed in one bond to R group and two lone pairs of electrons
N atoms
tech chiral due to geo of orbitals
enantiomers can't be isolated because they interconvert rapidly (nitrogen inversion)
nitrogen inversion
inversion of the sp3 orbital occupied by the lone pair
6 kcal/mol => will not be optically active
if at very low temp or if structure prevents inversion of molecule => optically active (ex: quaternary ammonium salts since lack of lone pair)
are bases => readily accept protons => ammonium ions
pKb = 4 (more than ammonia, less than OH)
aromatic amines
like aniline (pKb = 9.42) are far less basic than aliphatic since EW effect reduces bascitiy of amino group
direct (alkylation of ammonia )
alkyl halides + ammonia => alkylammonium halide salts + alkyl halide => more complex products
direct (alkylation of ammonia )
often leads to side products: alkylamine as Nu (lone pair and electron donating properties of alkyl group) on N + alkyl halide => complex products
gabriel synthesis
converts a primary alkyl halide to primary amine (sn2, lone pair of ammonia and halide good LG)
gabriel synthesis
first create a disguised form of ammonia (deprotonated phthalimide) to prevent side product formation => phthalimide => displaces halide ion => N-alkylphthalimide => hydrolyzed w/ aq. base => alkylamine
when halide ions displaced => this forms and doesn't react w/ other alkyl halides
reduction of nitro compounds
useful for aromatic compounds because:
1. nitration of aromatic rings is easy
2. this converts deactivating to activating groups
reduction of imines (reductive amination)
aldehyde/ketone + ammonia, a primary amine, or a secondary amine => 1, 2, or 3rd amine
reduction of imines (reductive amination)
carbonyl becomes -OH (carbinolamine) => loses water => imine => but when exposed to hydrogen and metal catalyst => reduction to amine
exhaustive methylation/hoffman elimation (reactions)
1. amine w/ excess methyl iodide => quat. ammonium iodide (methyl on N where H used to be)
exhaustive methylation/hoffman elimation (reactions)
2. treatment w/ silver oxide and water => displaces the iodide ion => ammonium hydroxide => WHEN heated => elimination (e2) => alkene and amine

When you've been in the animal-control business as long as Pat Pinkham has, you learn to expect the unexpected when you set out for work each day.
"Not much surprises me anymore," said Pinkham, who has been Bangor's sole animal-control officer for the last 21 years. "You don't get bored because you never know what the next call will be."
Pinkham figures she responds to about 3,000 calls a year, which keeps her constantly on the road in her familiar white truck. Besides the standard complaints about stray dogs and cats – she dealt with four dog bites this week alone – Pinkham also handles calls from people seeking relief from a citywide menagerie of burrowing, spraying, swooping, garbage-thieving critters.
Over the years she's rescued a deer that was hung up on a fence and chased down pigs that were rooting around a neighbor's lawn and making a mess of the place. She's plucked squirrels from fireplaces and helped to corral a slew of wandering moose and more than a few traffic-obstructing dairy cows.
She retrieved a cat that got its head stuck in a peanut butter jar while inside a Dumpster, and saved one skunk that had fallen into a swimming pool and another that was trapped under the hood of a woman's car.
Since being sprayed by skunks is a routine occupational hazard in her business, Pinkham always makes sure she has plenty of her special field-tested, descenting solution on hand when spring arrives.
"Massengil douche, believe it or not," she said with a laugh. "Best stuff I've ever used for getting rid of skunk smell."
While running an animal-rehabilitation operation years ago at her camp in Stetson, Pinkham found herself the caretaker of a baby harbor seal that had been rescued from a fishing net and delivered to the city's shelter. Pinkham kept the newborn seal in a child's swimming pool until it could be flown from Bangor to the New England Aquarium in Boston.
"I don't get a lot of calls about birds," she said, "but I once rehabbed a white cockatoo that had a mouth on it like a pirate."
Pinkham says she's never met an animal she didn't like – except for iguanas, that is. She's had to wrangle a few of them in her time, after getting calls from Bangor residents who've spotted the curious creatures sunning in their yards, and the reptilian encounters have left her cold.
"They're homely things, and they bite, too," she said.
Her encounters with snakes in the city have been blessedly few, but memorable. Just last summer, she got a call from a trash collector who stumbled across an 8-foot-long boa constrictor at one of his stops.
"Apparently, a gentleman from the city had the snake flown in," she recalled. "But when he picked it up at the airport it wasn't moving, and didn't seem to be breathing. He thought it was dead so he put it in a bin and set it out with the trash. Well, the snake warmed up and came to life by the time the trash collector showed up, so he put it in a pillowcase and called me. I mean that snake was huge. It wound up going to a snake rehabber. That's what I mean about this job – you just never know."
Pinkham hasn't worked much with wild animals since 1998, when the state informed her she would need a trapper's license to cart the furry troublemakers out of town. That part of the business is now handled by damage-control agents overseen by the Maine Warden Service, which is fine with Pinkham. She has all the work she can handle just keeping the city's domestic herd in check.
At last check, she said, there were 2,100 licensed dogs in Bangor, probably another 1,500 or so unaccounted for, and more stray cats roaming the streets than she could even begin to count.
In Pinkham's truck are a few indispensable tools of her trade: a cat net, a nifty little device for breaking car windows to rescue the overheated pets left inside, a long pole with a neck snare at the end, a box of doggie treats, a tennis ball and a Frisbee.
"You throw the ball or the Frisbee and the stray dog runs after it and brings it back to you," she said. "Works like a charm."
She also keeps a white teddy bear in the truck, which comes in handy when she is called to transport a family pet from the scene of a car accident to the Bangor Humane Society.
"The teddy bear is for the kids," she said. "I trade it for their dogs, and tell the kids we can trade back again when they come to pick up their pets. It helps to comfort the children."
After two decades of overseeing the city's animal population, Pinkham said she cannot imagine a more rewarding occupation.
"I love my job because it gives me a chance to do some good for the animals," she said. "To tell you the truth, I enjoy animals much more than I do people. Animals have a very acute understanding of our needs, and there are many times when I wish we had a better understanding of theirs."

Cangene said today its biodefense contract with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was extended to include additional work that could net the company up to $77 million over four years—just a year after the two inked an extension deal that followed contracts stretching back to 2002.
The new contract—under which the company supplies Vaccinia Immune Globulin Intravenous™ (VIGIV) into the U.S. Strategic National Stockpile—was extended by 18 months, followed by three additional option periods extending through 2017. VIGIV is used for treating and preventing some severe complications that may be associated with smallpox vaccination.
The extension includes additional services to support license maintenance activities for VIGIV, now projected to generate up to about $6.9 million over 18 months, plus future optional services for maintaining the VIGIV license and options for additional manufacturing and plasma collections.
If exercised, the optional periods could generate an additional $45 million in revenue if the baseline scope of work is implemented, or up to $77 million if the maximum scope is implemented.
Cangene and the CDC originally entered into a five-year contract for VIGIV in 2002, then extended their accord to a 10-year term ending last year. The initial five-year contract allowed for the U.S. government to order up to 100,000 doses of VIGIV on an as-needed basis (Cangene completed a supply of 30,000 doses under this contract during fiscal 2004) and required the company to take VIGIV through regulatory approval in the United States.
VIGIV was first accepted into the Strategic National Stockpile in 2002 and subsequently licensed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2005, followed two years later by Health Canada licensure.
On August 28, 2012, Cangene inked a new deal with the CDC that the company said at the time was expected to generate $9.8 million over 18 months.

This is rather startling. Martin Walker is a lefty, but he's no mug. I've read his book about the Cold War, and although lefty, it's not bad. This is Walker reporting from Washington for UPI, November 13th:
"You want to know what I really think of the Europeans?" asked the senior State Department official. "I think they have been wrong on just about every major international issue for the past 20 years."
They were wrong, the diplomat continues, about Bosnia, and about Russia accepting NATO enlargement and Missile Defense. They were wrong about the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty of 1972 and the Kyoto Protocol. They were wrong about the European Union's new common security and defense policy. They were wrong about Reagan and the Evil Empire, and they helped vote the US off the UN Human Rights Commission. They whine about the US Farm Bill when they are the world's prime protectionists.
The official, a career diplomat who speaks fluent French and likes to vacation in Italy, sat back and took an appreciative sip from his glass of good red wine from Bordeaux.
"One more thing," he added. "Whenever I use the word Europeans, I don't mean the Brits."
It was perhaps the most interesting and informative off-the-record lunch this reporter had attended in some three decades in the news business. The speaker was not a political appointee with a cursory knowledge of international affairs, but a professional and highly experienced Foreign Service officer with a wide range of friends and contacts across Europe.
He is a cultivated and courteous man, but he was angry, in that dangerous way quiet men can be. And the unveiled contempt in his voice and the curl of his lip when he drawled out the word "Europeans" said as much for the depth of his feelings as his bitter rhetoric.
Europeans do not yet get this, the great sea change that has taken place in the American foreign policy establishment. …
Thinking about it, what I find startling is not what it says, but the fact that it says it, in a boring old wire service. I have only one thing to add. Read the whole thing before it disappears from easy view.

Wheels of change are now moving
The long awaited overhaul of intermediate football in the country, begins next Monday.
Published 04/10/2007
IFA Intermediate Committee members will gather in the Seagoe Hotel, to begin the inspection of more than 130 grounds between now and next spring.
All teams currently playing at this level, will be inspected as will junior clubs aiming to step up for the new beginning in August 2008.
This is likely to see some dramatic changes, particularly in the Amateur League whereby clubs who have enjoyed intermediate status, will drop down to junior level if grounds do not meet the minimum new requirements.
That is likely to bring a new outlook to the league's Premier Section with possibly current clubs losing out and those in Divisions 1A and 1B, automatically stepping up.
Those clubs which fail the initial inspections, will be given time to meet the criteria and seek a second inspection prior to the start of the 2008-09 season.
The biggest change rules out roped-off grounds while the referee's room must be at least three square metres including the showering area. The room must be for his or her purpose only - in other words, no broom cupboards!
Dressing rooms must have at least four shower heads.
The actual playing surface must be fenced to a height of 0.8 to 1.1 metre by a wall, fence or single or more bar rail and must be no less than 2.5 metres from the touchline.
A ground will require an outer permanent fixed fence, wall or natural boundary to prevent access except through a recognised entrance.
The biggest problem will be for clubs using park pitches as each will have to be properly segregated with recognisable entrances.
Access to the pitch from dressing rooms, which must be within the perimeter of the ground, will have to be fenced to a height of one metre, although that does not have to be permanent fencing. In other words, mobile barriers can be used to give protection to players and officials on match days.
This is all part of the process for change at both senior and intermediate level.
Seniors will need to acquire a local club licence to make it into the new 12-team Premier League while intermediate and juniors, aiming for the Premier Intermediate League, will undergo further scrutiny before the end of next March.
For clarity purposes, there are no restrictions in numbers to the PIL and there is no guarantee that those seniors dropping down will get a place, while junior clubs are also eligible to apply.
The bottom line is that all clubs must meet the criteria laid down which means having to get on with the required work, as quickly as possible.
All interested parties will be able to apply for grant aid from the IFA following the forthcoming EGM which should see the release of the remainder of the £8m government funding to the governing body.
Recently, there has been concern raised in Lisburn Borough Council who claim the IFA grant scheme is flawed in that it is allegedly only open to Premier and current intermediate clubs thereby being unfair to other progressive clubs.
They also criticise the IFA for "not consulting" with them in a bid to help clubs in their own area.
However, there is no excuse for any club in the country not knowing what is going on and if Lisburn Council want to get on board in helping progressive clubs, then they will not find the IFA lacking in providing them with the right guidance on procedure.

The 2008 general election is a year away, but for all practical purposes the race for Texas House speaker is under way.
That became evident last week after lawyer Dan Barrett was the top vote-getter in a special election in House District 97 in Fort Worth. The seat was vacated in August after 19-year Republican incumbent Anna Mowery retired.
Barrett, who opposes House Speaker Tom Craddick, was the lone Democrat in the crowded field of candidates. However, he received only 31 percent of the vote and will face Mark Shelton - a physician pundits didn't pay attention to - in a runoff election.
Shelton supports Craddick and is in favor of school vouchers, an issue most House members who want to oust the Midland Republican, including Delwin Jones of Lubbock, are against.
However, Shelton had help defeating his Republican rivals, according to the Quorum Report. In an audio tape the online publication obtained, former Rep. Bob Leonard - a pre-election favorite because he was the best known candidate and had Mowery's support - was accused by unidentified political operatives as voting for a tax increase before leaving the Legislature in 1987.
Although Leonard was non-committal on Craddick, Republican operatives perceived him as being against the embattled speaker, said Quorum Report editor Harvey Kronberg.
What happened in House District 97 is a good indication Craddick is in for a tough fight to win a fourth term as speaker.
"He'll have to beat 12 (more) Republicans and get help again from some Democrats," Kronberg said.
That won't be easy because of the 15 so-called Craddick Democrats who supported him in January, one is retiring, three are facing tough re-election bids and several no longer support him.
For his part, Jones, one of four Republicans also running for speaker, said some of his constituents have received calls from someone who identifies himself as a Houston pollster and asks negative questions about him.
"They're out to get me again," said Jones.
Other Republican rebels have voiced similar complaints, Kronberg said.
As for the Democrats, Barrett's unexpected first-place finish renewed hope they can gain at least three more seats.
Currently, the Republicans have a 79-70 majority, two fewer seats than during the legislative session because Mowery retired and Kirk England of Grand Prairie, who was elected as a Republican, switched parties recently.
A House member needs 76 votes, including his own, to be elected or re-elected speaker.
Heflin holds town hall meeting, wins award
Rep. Joe Heflin will hold a town hall meeting Monday afternoon. The Crosbyton Democrat will address issues important to his House District 85. The meeting will be at 4:30 at the Plainview Chamber of Commerce, 710 W. Fifth St.
Last week the Texas Municipal League honored Heflin with its Distinguished Legislative Service Award.
"In only his first term, Rep. Heflin has proven to be an exceptional leader, he thoroughly understands local government issues, and he represents his district in an exemplary manner," Plainview Mayor John Anderson said in a statement. "I am proud of his accomplishments and confident in his ability to continue to do great things for the people of District 85 and for the entire state of Texas."

For the first time in the Brian Colatruglio tenure at Columbian, the Tornadoes are coming off a loss at Frost-Kalnow Stadium.
Tonight, the Tornadoes will be home again, this time facing a program they haven't seen in many years, Maumee.
But Colatruglio said the teams aren't complete strangers. Marc Gibson - the former coach at Clyde - is in his first season with the Panthers. The Tornadoes know Gibson (and Clyde, which beat TC last week) quite well, having gone up against him the last few seasons.
But it's deeper than that.
"(Maumee is) a program we're familiar with," Colatruglio said. "We've scrimmaged them every year since we've been here, and obviously with coach Gibson going over there from Clyde, there's a lot of familiarity there, and they're similar to us -about the same size school, same type of kid, same size program - and I think it's gonna be a real good matchup for us. I think it's a good game for both teams, and hopefully we can start a little bit of a rivalry and compete with a top team from another league we don't normally play."
Like the Tornadoes, the Panthers are coming off a tough Week 1 loss. Maumee fell to Toledo Bowsher, 24-20, after grabbing a 13-0 advantage in the first half.
On offense, Maumee will be led by Brian Utter, who passed for 141 yards and ran for 30 last week.
Even though Columbian knows the type of offense Gibson ran when he was at Clyde, Colatruglio said things will be a little different at Maumee.
"It's a little different, there's a lot of spread stuff," Colatruglio said. "They might have had some carryover to their staff; they're doing some of the things they've done in the past, some of the things that Clyde's done, so it's kind of a mixture, and we're familiar with them and their program, but we're not really sure what they're going to do and how they're going to try and attack us."
The TC coach said he was pleased with what his defense did in last week's 13-7 loss to the Flyers. The offense was another story.
"We were very inconsistent offensively. We missed some blocks, got beat on some blocks, dropped some balls. When you add all those little things up, it leads to scoring seven points, and we wasted a great effort by our defense," Colatruglio said. "Our defense gave up one touchdown. Your defense gives up one touchdown, you've got to win the game. We have way too much talent on the offensive side of the ball to be held to seven points. We've got to get that ... a little bit of anger, a little bit of pride that we're gonna put the ball in the end zone."
Starting again for the Tornadoes will be Stone Simmons, who threw for 170 yards and had a touchdown pass last week in his first varsity start. He also threw a costly pick-six, but Colatruglio took the blame for that.
"He made some plays. He made some good throws, and the interception was on me. I put him in a bad spot, and the only ... what looked like a bad play wasn't even his fault," he said. "He's got to get his timing a little better yet, and we've got to be a little better on third downs. Most of our completions were early down, first-, second-down throws, and we weren't really good on third downs.
"But he's had a great week of practice and he's bounced back just like the rest of our offense, and we look for him just to continue to improve," Colatruglio said. "First time under the lights, I'm sure he was a little bit nervous, but he made some big plays and gave us a chance to win in the end."
He'll be facing a defense Colatruglio said is strong up front.
"They mix things up. They'll play three and four down and are mostly a zone team. They're big across the front," Colatruglio said. "Clyde was a little smaller, had some quicker kids, and Maumee's got some size up front. So it's strength on strength. It's going to be our O and D lines against their O and D lines and who's going to establish the run and put points on the board and finish drives."
Colatruglio was asked about the importance of getting a win and not starting 0-2, but the coach kept things in perspective.
"They're all important," he said. "You can't take back what happened last week and you can't worry about what's gonna happen next week. We're trying to go 1-0 this week. That's all we can control and that's all we can do. It's Week 2."
Kickoff is at 7 p.m.

My family and I recently attended the Columbiana County Fair. We attended on Sunday so we could watch the derby as we do every year.
First of all, I don't appreciate paying $8 per person when we are not there to ride rides. We believe there should be two separate prices, one for riders and one for not.
Second of all, I was highly disgusted when we went in to find our seats in the grandstands at the filth that had been left behind.
There was ketchup smeared on the bleachers where people were to be seated. The amount of bugs and smell was just really disgusting. Those bleachers need to be cleaned after each event held there. For the price of admission and the cost of food, there should be plenty of money to pay someone to come in and clean them.
My family and I have decided that this year was our last year in attending the Columbiana County Fair. Too pricey and just down right filthy.

Call for Abstracts:
Workshop: Language, Culture and Urban Publics: April 1st -3rd, 2004.
This workshop will engage in a dialogue between research into histories of print cultures and the new linguistic practices in contemporary media and urban spaces. The workshop is intended to revisit the debates on identity and politics together with attention to forms from magazines to cassettes to films and television as well as new performative spaces such as call centers discussion-lists and chat rooms. Our premise is that these dialogues would provide diverse critical vantage points from which to engage with issues of language and culture as they enable various strategies of dwelling in and imagining the city. Older forms of expression in print and speech have been under significant pressure in the contemporary with the emergence of electronic communication, leading to both innovation and anxiety. The workshop will focus on content, form, styles and circulation of linguistic cultures. The primary focus will be on South Asia, though we welcome proposals on other regions that provide a comparative perspective. While the focus of the workshop is the contemporary transformations, it would perhaps be useful to see the contemporary as the contested site of continuity as well discontinuity.
Suggested Themes:
Please send 200-300 word abstracts to the email address below by January 20th,2004.
We will cover travel and board of South Asian participants who are selected to present at the workshop. In the case of international presenters we will cover all local costs, in rare cases of people without institutional support we might support travel.
Sarai is a program of CSDS, one of India's best-known research centers. Sarai's work is on urban culture and the media.

After reading this book the reviewer felt sad. Dr. James Young is one of the greatest gynecologists in the world but one cannot gather this impression from the fifth edition of his textbook of gynecology. In their advertisement the publishers particularly emphasize the section devoted to the recent advances made in the science of sex endocrinology but the author devotes only twelve pages, including illustrations, to this most important branch of gynecology. In the sections on the various menstrual disturbances there is some additional material on endocrinology, but it is still wholly inadequate even though at the present time endocrine therapy has a limited field of usefulness.
Not all of us agree with Young that the translation of "mittelschmerz" is "half-time pain." Likewise not many American gynecologists are in favor of evacuating ovarian cysts by syringe through the cul-de-sac of Douglas in cases of metropathia haemorrhagica. For the latter condition

Scott Strong dies
ERIE'S WEALTHIEST WOMAN DIES: Annie Scott Strong, daughter of a railroad magnate and former congressman, died at age 69 at her mansion at West Sixth and Peach streets in May 1928. "For a time," according to the story in the Erie Daily Times, "Mrs. Strong owned the Erie Evening Herald, while her husband, Charles Strong, owned the Erie Dispatch." She was close to her employees, the newspaper said, and when the captain of her yacht died, she had the boat sunk.
ALSO IN 1928: On Sept. 14, 1928, a fire broke out on Main Street in Wattsburg, destroying 14 businesses and three homes. "The entire village was spared only by the heroic efforts of Erie firemen who arrived with a combination truck and pumped water from French Creek to bring the blaze to a halt," the Erie Daily Times reported. ... Erie's Paul Siple, 19, won the privilege of accompanying Commander Richard E. Byrd on his South Pole expedition. ... Ed Hiller's Erie baseball team, playing in the Central League against Canton, Fort Wayne, Dayton, Akron and Springfield, reached the championship game before losing to Fort Wayne.

Girl Sailor Calls Criticism of Parents 'Hurtful'

The storm had passed, night had fallen and Abby Sunderland was trying to fix her boat's diesel engine when the massive three-story-high wall of water hit.
"It happened so fast," Sunderland, 16, said Tuesday during her first public appearance in the United States since being rescued from her crippled 40-foot sailboat in the Indian Ocean over two weeks ago. "When the wave rolled my boat I hit my head and things went black for a few seconds."
Despite being alone in one of the most remote parts of Earth and without a way to communicate with the outside world, the teenager from Thousand Oaks, Calif., claims she never feared for her safety.

"She's in good spirits," her mother Marianne tells PEOPLE. "She's laughing, giggling and really wants to go out sailing in one of the Hobie Cats she spotted in the harbor."
Abby's bid to circumnavigate the planet in a sailboat was cut short on June 10 when a massive storm destroyed her 40-foot-long sailboat "Wild Eyes" in a remote stretch of the Indian Ocean, nearly 2,000 miles west of Australia. The ensuing search for the intrepid teen sailor attracted worldwide attention.
Teen Sailor Rescued by French Fishing Vessel

Abby Sunderland, the 16-year-old Southern California sailor who was lost at sea during an around-the-world voyage has been rescued.
A French fishing vessel, "Ile de la Reunion," picked up Sunderland 2,000 miles from the western coast of Australia and is transporting her back to land, reports the Los Angeles Times.
Sunderland had set sail from California in January in an attempt to be the youngest sailor to circumnavigate the globe solo without stopping. She lost communication when the mast on her yacht, "Wild Eyes," broke during a storm, but was able to launch a distress beacon.
Girl Sailor, 16, Disappears During Around-the-World Solo Voyage

She was alone in her sailboat, two days after reaching the halfway point in an around-the-world voyage, and 16-year-old Abby Sunderland was bracing for trouble.
"The wind is beginning to pick up," she wrote in her blog from the Indian Ocean on Wednesday. "It is back up to 20 knots and I am expecting that by midnight tonight I could have 35 - 50 knots with gusts up to 60 so I am off to sleep before it really picks up."
By the next morning, the Southern California girl – who once had hoped to become the youngest sailor to circle the globe solo without stopping – was lost at sea.
A rescue effort was launched Thursday, but the soonest any craft could arrive would be 40 hours, and an air rescue was stymied by her remote location, her parents wrote on her blog.

My maiden flight was not so great, I went with full rates and 40% expo I managed to overcome the torque roll but she was rolling left to right and heading for some houses so I landed actually crashed landed! She hit the deck so hard I would have bet it was going to be a bin job but amazingly I only broke the prop. Its a testament to the build quality on this plane. I got new pops today so hoping for a more successful flight on the weekend.
What is wrong with spektrum?? Ive been using Dx7 and Dx6i radios for years.
Just asking. I have a dx6i too and haven't had a prob with authentic rx, but there are lots of reports of failure. I use hitec a9 mostly now though, easier for me for glider set up etc, with no issue and haven't ever heard of a prob with brown out.
So did you or will you reduce those rates? Say 3-4mm? what does the book say. I think my friend came back to 50%
I Agree, Ive personally never had a problem, but there are a lot of Spektrum haters out there! The HiTech A9 is a sweet radio, good choice for gliders esp with a full compliment of flaps.
I setup 70% rates but stupid me tried to fly with 100%, and I was not quick enough to flip the switch! Given the wild ride I will now try 60% rates with 60% expo . that should tame it down a bit.
Ive also been told not to try fly inverted or tight loops as the Moray is supposed to have a tendency to go into a hard roll/stall if you apply too much up elevator.
Flying mode two with ail and elev on the right stick with speed planes I have plenty of expo so as not to mix the two, as you say esp when going inverted or pulling tight loops to keep clean inputs. A little cross wind as well and no rudder, well it nearly gets inpossible to fly straight lines
I was putting the new prop on tonight when I realised there seemed to be a little more flex in the fuse from when I first put it together, I also noted that the decals on the side had a few minor creases in them which I was sure were not there before. So I decided to remove the wing a have a closer inspection Im glad I did as I found a couple of fine cracks in the fuse just behind the wing bolt looks like that crash broke more than the prop!! Thin CA and a spray of Accelerator has fixed it ready for Saturday morning, as long as the wind drops!
Has anyone tried different prop sizes with the stock motor? I was wondering how an 8x4 would go maybe less thrust but higher top end speed?

I too am using Spektrum DX 6i. I don't blame the radio for the plane I lost. Others have lost planes in the same spot add a field we fly. I believe there's a bit of a wrinkle in the space time continuum in that area.
Looks like I need to read the manual learn how to do exponential and rates before I fly this plane.

Batteries charged up.... pfinagled and wedged reciever into the aft section of fuselage (RX ant actually exits ventral vent, if you know what I mean).
Recieved excellent advice, summary %60-70 throttle on take off, throw easy and not at a great angle, D/R and expo at %60 / 50 for both ail and ele.
I managed to get the battery (weight 184G 4s nanotech 1600mah 25-50C) farther back by mounting it vertical, ya know tall? In normal flat mode wires pushed it 3-4mm forward, which would have required a bit of weight in the tail to balance. As is I call CG 51mm. I hope that's safe to fly, if not let me know soon!
I did range test.... 28 paces. wonder what that means? I will try to fly tight circles until I know more. I gots weak batts in Dx6i right now, will put freshies in for maiden, does this help range?
Thanks all for your guidance, will report back results.
Right now for you!
Orange Rx
Ever since I switched to orange I have had no problems and we fly in the country away from interference and (knock on wood) no more brown out issues.

Maiden flight report....
I didn't make a video, but if you saw the previous video on this thread that was very similar, except we launched almost level. Right after it left the hand an unplanned roll left began. Flight was about a second. I claim to have used 60-%70 % throttle, will try again with %40-50? Maybe add a tad of right AIL?
I'll report back, and listen to any ideas. Thanks.

agreed , and if the roll is consistent , holding just a bit of rt aileron could be good . we do that w/ some pushers we launch underhanded that seem to do the same .
just a bit and release it shortly after launch.

Launch troubles
OK, torque roll on first launch. Here's the current plan for sucess the second time.
1. The rates were set so I could control the plane while at 70mph, I probably need more control at takeoff. Feel free to tell me your DR/Expo #s for takeoff.
2. Less throttle, more throw. I had someone launch it, told them they're almost just releasing it, because I was more arfaid of the strong and wrong huck.
How much airspeed do you guys provide with the throw, would it glide/fly for a few moments to a landing? Kinda like a glide test, is that possible with this plane and normal throw?
3. This time I'm going to launch atop a steep grassy incline near a local lake. Only problem is that by the time I realize I've got the speed and I'm flying....I'm now over the lake. If it rolls or drops of whatever in the first 200ft it crashes on thick grass. Launch spot would be from the "y" on black creek greenway.
I establish flight, with help of 30' decline, bank left to avoid trees, now flying over lake........ I'm not sure I like this plan.
Less throttle? Not sure about this, 60-70% sounds about right. Did you feel it was pulling away when you first tried? Right ail sounds good. Launched my friends for him today with more powerful motor and it just climbed out no prob, great ftight with toned down controls although I think the cheap ntm motor is a bit out of balance at full power, prop was good but getting some vibration at wot.
Good luck again. Stay away from the water!!

Less throttle, cause I have to do something quite different. It did pull away, just that it did a huge left roll at the same time. Of course I was giving full right aileron (at %60 rate).
When you launched friends did you THROW it or just release it, or where in between?

UN Secretary-General: Poznan Should Signal International Resolve to Reach 2009 Climate Agreement
20 November 2008: In a video message to the symposium on climate change held at the Korean Academy of Science and Technology in Gyunggi-Do, Korea, from 20-21 November 2008, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon stressed that the science of climate change is clear and its effects risk getting worse.
He called for a "decisive and swift" response, warning that future
generations would otherwise face greater risk. He underscored that the
"cost of inaction will exceed the costs of action by several orders of
magnitude." On the international climate negotiations, he said the next
round taking place in Poznan, Poland, in December 2008 should send a
signal of strong international resolve to reach a climate agreement in
Copenhagen in 2009. He welcomed Korea's "Low Carbon Green Growth"
policy and plans to use green energy technologies.
Noting that Korea
has a less historic responsibility for climate change than some
industrialized countries, Ban hoped Korea would "seize the opportunity
to improve its international status" by participating more actively in
international processes designed to mitigate climate change and
underscored the timeliness of the Symposium. [UN Press Release]

Former White House spokesman Scott McClellan says his Christian faith motivated him to learn from his mistakes and to write his controversial book about his days as press secretary.
In one chapter, McClellan wrote, "I fell far short of living up to the kind of public servant I wanted to be."
The book entitled What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington's Culture of Deception is already a best-seller on Amazon.com.
Current and former Bush administration insiders have been quick to respond to McClellan's accusations of there being too much secrecy in the White House and that political propaganda was used to support the war in Iraq.
"I can't help but wonder how much of this is Scott's words?," former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer told ABC News. "How much of it is his editors? No matter, what its got is Scott's name on it, and Scott has to stand by it and defend it."
Former White House counselor Dan Bartlett says that many of McClellan's co-workers are puzzled by the book's content.
"Many of us who worked with Scott so closely and worked with him for so many years are quite frankly puzzled and disappointed," Bartlett said.
"He felt burned by the whole Valerie Plame case," explained political commentator Lenny Steinhorn. "He felt like he was hung out to dry on all of that and there is a clear sense that he's not very happy with Vice President Cheney and Karl Rove in this book. To him, those are the people who have lead George Bush astray."
In the past, McClellan has spoken out against memoirs like this. In response to a 2004 book by a former White House counter terrorism czar, he told ABC News that "If someone has concerns, why not raise them sooner?"
Rice: Bush Was Clear on Iraq
Meanwhile, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Thursday rejected all of the allegations in McClellan's book. Rice is attending an international conference on Iraq in Stockholm, Sweden.
She declined to comment on specific charges made by McClellan in his book, but said Bush was honest and forthright about the reasons for the war.
"I am not going to comment on a book that I haven't read," she said. "But what I will say is that the concern about weapons of mass destruction in Saddam Hussein's Iraq was the fundamental reason."
Sticking to My Story
Despite being dubbed a turncoat by some of his closest friends, McClellan is sticking to his guns. He has said he hopes his book will make a difference in the upcoming presidential campaign, according to the Washington Post.
"The White House would prefer I not speak out openly and honestly about my experiences, but I believe there is a larger purpose," McClellan told the Washington Post.
"Ihad all this great hope that we were going to come to Washington and change it. Then we got to Washington, and I think we got caught up in playing the Washington game the way it is being played today," he said.

I've been an avid but silent follower of the insightful discussions on a-net for a long time now and I decided to join you and start getting some of my own questions out there.
On that note: I've noticed that LH's 747-8I are the only a/c in their fleet not to have spinner paintings. Does anybody here have an idea why they chose to go without them? I know it is available since Air Bridge Cargo have a spiral on the spinners of their 747-8F engines. And while we're at it, does anybody have a non-hear-say source for what the actual purpose of spinner paintings is? I've heard both that it's supposed to warn ground crew that the engine is on and that it's supposed to deter birds but I never found a credible source for either one of those claims.
