<div>[[Image:Tree.jpg|thumb|250px]]A '''tree''' is a tall [[plant]], usually with roots, a trunk, branches, and [[leaf|leaves]].<br />
<br />
Trees are an important part of the [[Bible]]. They were created, along with all other plants, on the Third Day of [[Creation]].<ref>Genesis 1:11-12</ref> It was from the [[Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil]] that [[Eve]] brought [[evil]] into the world.<ref>Genesis 3:1-7</ref> Jotham used a parable about trees to criticize his brother Abimelech.<ref>Judges 9</ref> And it was on the [[wood]] of a tree that our [[Savior]], [[Jesus Christ]], was [[crucifixion|crucified]]. In fact, a commonly used name for Jesus Christ is "Tree of Life."<br />
<br />
In [[mathematics]], a '''tree''' is a [[graph]] with no cycles, so called because these graphs often resemble natural trees.<br />
<br />
The harvesting of trees for commercial or forest management purposes is [[Logging|logging]].<br />

<hr />
<div>'''New federalism''' was a reform measure introduced by the [[Richard Milhouse Nixon|Nixon Administration]] after the [[New Deal]] and [[Great Society]]. It holds that states know more about the needs of the people than the [[federal government]]; therefore, more power should be transfered from the federal government to the [[state]]s.<br />
<br />
Comprised of two major programs, '''general revenue sharing''' and '''special revenue sharing''', it is generally considered one of the more conservative types of federalism.<ref>Cliffs AP, US Government and Politics, p50</ref><br />
<br />
==General Revenue Sharing==<br />
<br />
A program by which the federal government provided money to the states for various, largely unrestricted reasons.<ref>http://www.answers.com/topic/general-revenue-sharing</ref><br />
<br />
==Special Revenue Sharing==<br />
<br />
A program by which the federal government gave money to the state in the form of a block grant, which combined funding for many different programs. The way the money was to be spent was again left largely to the state itself.<ref>CliffsAP, US Government and Politics, p50</ref><br />
