Abstract
The paper summarizes current knowledge on the population size, habitat, conservation status and conservation measures for the White-backed Woodpecker Dendrocopos leucotos in Slovenia. The ...species is an extremely rare forest specialist species. It inhabits mostly Dinaric beech Fagus sylvatica forests from Trnovski gozd, Nanos, Javorniki Mts and Mt Snežnik to the Kočevsko region and Gorjanci Mts. The species is also present in the Zasavje region and Mt Boč. The majority of the population (80%) inhabits the altitudinal belt between 700 and 1400 m a.s.l. The size of the Slovenian breeding population is currently estimated at 100-150 breeding pairs. Using the new survey playback method, we expect to find the species at additional sites. The highest densities were recorded on Mt Snežnik (0.7 breeding pairs/km
2
in the Zatrep - Planinc forest reserve, 0.6 breeding pairs/km
2
at Gomance) and in the Gorjanci Mts (0.6-0.9 breeding pairs/km
2
in the Kobile forest reserve). The species inhabits beech and mixed forests with an important percentage of dead trees. The volume of dead trees was measured only at few sites inhabited by the species and ranged from 42 to 283 m
3
/ha. Signs of foraging were detected mainly on beech snags and stumps; all nests were found in upright beech snags. In Slovenia, the species is threatened by the low percentage of dead deciduous trees in forests, the construction of new forest roads, the increased annual timber harvest and a weak network of forest reserves. The proposed conservation measures include increasing the amount of dead deciduous trees in managed forests, increasing the area of forest reserves and halting the construction of new forest roads.

Lon Walters, attorney for 20-year-old plaintiff Justin Detel, said Wednesday the oil company and his client agreed to a confidential settlement that will pay Detel for the injuries he allegedly ...suffered while living near BP's refinery in Sugar Creek, near Kansas City. BP, which lost a $13.3 million verdict in September last year for the death of Nancy Ryan, still faces 31 additional cases, all of which are being handled by Walters. The oil company is represented by a team of lawyers including E. Wayne Taff, of Sherman Taff Bangert Thomas & Coronado, and Robin Weaver, of Cleveland-based Squire, Sanders & Dempsey, which has more than 800 attorneys worldwide. Walters said that he anticipated the case would go to trial as Detel and BP failed to come close to an agreement during discussions this summer.

"Removing the uncertainty of a jury trial is a good thing for both parties."

Lon Walters filed the amended petition in late June in the case of Justin Detel v. BP Corporation North America. In addition to the original allegations, the amended version included a new count that ...claimed BP repeatedly violated the Solid Waste Disposal Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act and the Clean Water Act. The two sides agreed in writing two years ago that the defense would not petition to have the cases removed if Walters dropped the individual defendants from the lawsuit. On July 12, 2004, Walters filed a statement of dismissal that dropped six BP employees. BP and its predecessor companies, Amoco and Standard Oil, operated a 430-acre refinery in Sugar Creek from 1904 to 1982. The facility is now used as a marketing and petroleum-distribution terminal.
Woodford responds to Detels' article about the role of arts education and Ernest Gellner's "Plough, Sword, and Book," questioning what Detels means by "the development of moral values and character" ...and whether her proposed educational agenda is applicable to the music and art of other cultures. She takes issue with the inclusion of a "Bad Art Party" in the syllabus, believing it is unhealthy to encourage students to ridicule the work of others.
