Or did they compete for food and shelter, with Neanderthals eventually losing the struggle and disappearing for good 30,000 years...

The report specifically criticized work done in the Oklahoma bombing case, saying that investigators had drawn unjustifiable conclusions and failed to follow proper procedures. Potential jurors may have heard about the report, although they are supposed to avoid...

...magma rises in a volcano, light molecules like carbon dioxide bleed off more than heavier gases like sulfur dioxide. The higher the CO[2] levels, the likelier an eruption. If magma gets stuck in the gullet of the mountain, SO[2] predominates. The more SO[2], the more stagnant the magma and the less probable an eruption. The problem is that taking accurate measurements may require climbing almost directly into a volcano--a decidedly dangerous proposition...
