		Due to its recent decline in West Virginia and elsewhere the cerulean warbler is listed by the West Virginia Partners in Flight Working Group as a high priority species of concern.
		Even though the cerulean warbler is in decline, it still occurs at such high densities in the state that birds nesting in West Virginia serve to provide a source population to the surrounding region.
		In West Virginia this species occurs mainly west of the Allegheny Mountains in the Ohio Hills Physiographic Region, with the highest numbers inhabiting the southwestern portions of the state.

	The Decline of the West - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Decline of the West (German: Der Untergang des Abendlandes) is a two-volume work by Oswald Spengler, the first volume of which was published in the summer of 1918.
		Decline was conceived and begun before the outbreak of World War I, and deliberately looks beyond the fate of Germany to include the fate of the West as a whole.
		Scholars now agree that the word "decline" more accurately renders Spengler's intended meaning, as opposed to the original German word "Untergang." Spengler would explain that he did not mean to describe a catastrophic occurrence, but rather a protracted fall—a twilight or sunset.

	Spengler decline of the west
		His work The Decline of the West argues that the development of civilizations follows a recognizable series of repetitive rises and falls.
		Spengler, a man of wide education with a PhD in philosophy, conceived the idea for "The Decline of the West" during the Agadir Crisis of 1911, when he formed the opinion that a general European war was inevitable.
		Based on such a comparison of historical situation Spengler considered that the West was entering a period of two centuries of wars for world power, like that between the Battles of Cannae (216 B.C.) and Actium (31 B.C.).

	Amazon.com: Decline of the West: Volume I, Form and Actuality: Books: Oswald Spengler,Charles Francis Atkinson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The Decline of the West is the magnum opus of Oswald Spengler (1880-1936), a German historian and philosopher.
		The Decline of the West was originally published as two books, and it is a deep and erudite philosophical look at the history of the world, so any small summary is bound to be insufficient to do it justice.
		Spengler's style in elucidating a history of the west, and developing an hypothesis of universal and collective human behavior, is punctuated by the era in which he wrote: the early 20th century.

	The decline of the West \| The Agonist
		There never was a "West" politically before 1945: just countries inhabited mostly by people of European descent, sharing the same broad cultural and religious heritage, who fought one another regularly and built competing empires around the planet.
		The alliance thrived for almost half a century, but it was bound to go into a slow decline once its reason for being, the Soviet threat, ceased to exist at the beginning of the 1990s.
		The West, as a coherent political and military influence in the world, is breaking apart and this is not necessarily a tragedy.

	CIDRAP >> After 2004 decline, West Nile cases rose this year
		Dec 16, 2005 (CIDRAP News) – The number of West Nile virus (WNV) cases in the United States rebounded slightly this year after a sharp drop in 2004, signaling that the disease is here to stay, according to figures released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
		Of this year's cases, 42.5%, or 1,165, were West Nile neuroinvasive disease (WNND) (meningitis, encephalitis, or acute flaccid paralysis), the CDC said.
		Pearson couldn't give a specific assessment of the hurricanes' effects on case counts, but she said the numbers in the Gulf states in the relevant period "were consistent with typical late summer activity" for WNV.

		Despite this decline, the continentwide abundance of crows continued to be stable.

		This decline follows a decade-long fall that can be tracked to a bacterial infection that began affecting house finches in the early 1990s.

		Thus, the European powers took their place behind the US as number two and were startled when, due to the hegemonic decline of the USA, the usual stability of the world economic structure was no longer guaranteed.
		The concept of the transition of societal models - in hegemonic social practices - offers us the possibility of explaining the recasting of the EC as a move towards a vision of a renewed social contract in Western Europe, and therefore the beginning of the articulation of a new societal model.
		Neither the West European states nor the EU are following the socially regressive American deregulation model of Reagan and Bush.

		University of Colorado at Boulder geologist Craig Jones said sound-wave measurements of the 100-mile thick crust and upper mantle indicate the topography of the West has behaved like a "viscous fluid" over geologic time.
		The surprising gravitational force inside the continent appears to be causing the landscape to "spread" in places, causing significant deformation in areas like the Great Basin of Nevada and western Utah and the Sierra Nevada in eastern California.
		lthough the study provides evidence that deformation in the West and perhaps other continental regions are driven by topography, most scientists still believe deformation beneath the oceans is caused primarily by lateral movements of the huge, rigid plates beneath the continents and sea floor, he said.
