Neutron stars are born from massive stars collapsing, which conserves the original star's angular momentum. Since the original star had a slow rotation, the neutron star that forms from it will have a faster spin due to the conservation of angular momentum.
Taking a 'particle' as a proton/ neutron, both of these have spin 1/2. So do all leptons (electrons, neutrinos, etc).
The neutron has a spin of 1/2, which means it behaves like a tiny magnet with two possible orientations. This property is fundamental to understanding its interactions with magnetic fields and its role in particle physics.
In the shell model, the ground state spin of a nucleus is determined by the unpaired nucleons. For 6C13, the last neutron fills the 1d5/2 orbital, resulting in a spin of 3/2. The parity of the ground state is typically positive for most stable nuclei. For 17CI37, the last neutron fills the 1h11/2 orbital, resulting in a spin of 7/2 and a positive parity for the ground state.
Rapid rotation: Neutron stars can spin incredibly fast, with some completing hundreds of rotations per second. Strong magnetic fields: Neutron stars have extremely powerful magnetic fields, magnitudes stronger than any other object in the universe, which can influence their behavior and emit radiation.
Neutron is electrically neutral... But it posses a spin... And when it moves it has a finite kinetic energy...

All young neutron stars spin rapidly. You might be confused with a pulsar. See related questions.
If the 3He target has its spin polarized along the axis of the neutron beam, you may consider that the protons' spin will be canceling out and the spin will be more-or-less carried by the one neutron. Thus it will prefer to absorb neutrons polarized in the opposite direction, ie negative helicity.
It is still called a neutron star. Depending on how we observe it, it may also be called a pulsar.

The neutron star so affected wouldn't really notice. The mass of the neutron star is huge compared to that of the material in the accretion disk. And that matter, when it falls in, wouldn't really "slow" the spin of the star much unless there was a gigantic quantity of matter falling in and/or it acted over a very long period.
In the Wii version of "I Spy : Spooky Mansion", the ending requires you to keep three plates spinning at the same time. There are two possible keys depending on your play: 1) Spin a plate, pause, spin the second plate, pause, spin the third plate. 2) Spin a plate to maximum, move to the second plate and spin it to maximum. By now the first plate is spinning down, so respin it to maximum, then move to the third plate.
The maximum number of electrons that can occupy the 5s orbital is 2. This is based on the Pauli exclusion principle, which states that each orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons with opposite spins.
