Nixon v. General Services Administration, 433 U.S 425 (1977), is a landmark court case concerning the principle of presidential privilege and whether the public is allowed to view a President’s “confidential documents”. The Presidential Recordings and Materials Preservation Act, signed into law by President Gerald Ford in 1974, ordered that the Administrator of General Services obtain President Richard Nixon’s presidential papers and tape recordings. In addition, the Act further ordered that government archivists seize these materials. These archivists would preserve the material deemed historic and return to former President Nixon the materials deemed as private. Furthermore, this Act stated that material that was preserved could be used in judicial hearings and proceedings. Immediately after this Act was enacted, Richard Nixon filed a lawsuit in a federal district court claiming that the Act violated the principle of separation of powers, the principle of presidential privilege, Nixon’s personal privacy, his First Amendment right of association, and further asserted that it amounted to a constitutionally prohibited Bill of Attainder. | UnitOfWork | LegalCase | SupremeCourtOfTheUnitedStatesCase |

Jon P. McGlocklin (born June 10, 1943) is an American former professional basketball player born in Franklin, Indiana. A sharpshooting 6'5\" guard from Indiana University, McGlockin was selected by the Cincinnati Royals in the third round of the 1965 NBA draft, but he is best known for his 8-season (1968–1976) tenure with the Milwaukee Bucks, with whom he won an NBA Championship (as a teammate of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Oscar Robertson) in 1971. He scored 9,169 points in his NBA career, and his #14 jersey has been retired by the Bucks franchise. He also appeared in the 1969 NBA All-Star Game McGlocklin was best known for his high-arcing \"rainbow\" jump shot from the wings, in what would now be three-point territory. It was most effective when paired in a two-man play with Jabbar: if the opposing guard fell back to double-team Jabbar, McGlocklin would make them pay from the perimeter; when the guard came out to defend him, he would pass the ball down to Jabbar with only one defender, who under most circumstances was out-matched. McGlocklin was selected as one of the \"Top 50 Basketball Players\" of the 20th Century, in his home state of Indiana, as well as being inducted into the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame, Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association and the Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame. For the last 25 years, McGlocklin has been a member of the Bucks' television broadcasting team, alongside Jim Paschke. But has been an analyst for Bucks games since the late 1970s, joining former Bucks voice, Eddie Doucette.

The dollar sunfish (Lepomis marginatus) is a species of freshwater fish in the sunfish family (family Centrarchidae) of order Perciformes. It is categorized as a warm water pan-fish. Early settlers said that this species of sunfish resembled a European species they called bream. Historically it has been found along the Southern Atlantic coastal drainages from North Carolina to Florida, and west to Texas. Lepomis marginatus mainly feeds on detritus and filamentous algae as well as a few terrestrial insects (Homoptera, Hymenoptera, Etnier, and Starnes). The juvenile and mature fish do not have many predators, but the eggs in the nest are in danger of predation from a few different species of fish. The dollar sunfish can have different breeding seasons depending on where it is located geographically. On average the dollar sunfish breeds from April to September, and in some states such as North Carolina, it breeds from May to August. They always finish breeding before the weather turns cold. These fish breed mainly on sandy substrates. \"Bourgeois\" males build and tend nests, court females, and care for eggs and young. The average lifespan is around 6 years, and it can grow up to a maximum of 100 mm. Currently there are very well managed creel limits for the sunfish species. The creel limits help to protect the species from being over harvested. Other species of sunfish have been stocked in Tennessee lakes, however the dollar sunfish has yet to be stocked in any of the river drainages of Tennessee. As effective as the creel limits are, there could be more management done for the dollar sunfish, or at least some research. Impoundments of rivers by dams is widespread and one of the most devastating anthropogenic impacts of freshwater environments | Species | Animal | Fish |

David Grayden (born David Ives; 25 May 1924 – 9 June 2003) was an Australian politician who was a member of the Legislative Assembly of Western Australia from 1950 to 1953, representing the seat of Nedlands. Grayden was born in Perth to Ethel May (née Harper) and Aubrey Leonard Ives. His older brother was Bill Grayden, an MP at both state and federal level, while the brothers' maternal grandfather was businessman Nathaniel White Harper, who was also involved in politics. Their mother remarried in the 1930s, changing the brothers' surname to that of their step-father. Grayden spent part of his early childhood in the United Kingdom, but eventually returned to Perth, where he attended Wesley College. He went on to the University of Western Australia, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree. During World War II, Grayden enlisted in the Australian Army, serving in the Middle East and New Guinea. On his return to Australia, he became a director of the Winterbottom Motor Company, a prominent local motor vehicle distributor. A state president of the Young Liberals, Grayden stood for parliament for the first time in 1948, contesting a by-election for the seat of Guildford-Midland as an endorsed Liberal candidate. At the 1950 state election, he failed to gain official endorsement, but won the seat of Nedlands as an \"independent Liberal\" candidate. His time in parliament was short-lived however, as he was defeated by Charles Court (a future Liberal premier) at the 1953 election. Grayden contested Nedlands for a third time at the 1956 election, but lost by an increased margin. After leaving politics, he worked as a company director in Perth for a period, before moving to New South Wales in the late 1950s. There, Grayden retrained as a schoolteacher, studying at the University of New England. He worked as a high school teacher until his retirement in 1984, and spent the rest of his life on the New South Wales Central Coast. | Agent | Politician | MemberOfParliament |

AF2 (styled as af2 and short for arenafootball2) was the name of the Arena Football League's developmental league; it was founded in 1999 and played its first season in 2000. Like parent AFL, the af2 played using the same arena football rules and style of play. League seasons ran from April through July with the postseason and ArenaCup championship in August. The af2 continued to operate while the AFL suspended operations for its 2009 season. The league was effectively disbanded in September 2009 when no team committed to playing in 2010, but several of the stronger franchises transferred into the reconstituted AFL. Like most other minor sports leagues, the af2 existed to develop football players and also to help players adapt to the style and pace of arena football. In addition, the af2 was similar to other minor leagues because af2 teams played in smaller cities and smaller venues. While the AFL was played in cities like Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, Dallas, and Chicago, the af2 fielded teams in cities which are part of metropolitan statistical areas ranging in size from Milwaukee (with 1,739,497 residents) to Albany, Georgia (with 164,000 residents). Also in common with other minor professional sports leagues, players also earned less than in the AFL, with each player making $200 per game. | Agent | SportsLeague | SoccerLeague |
