Army general rebuts recruiting rumors
Washington The Army's top general said he is encouraged by a rebound in recruitment and rejected claims that war stress pushes the service to breaking point. Gen Peter Schoomaker noted soldiers are signing up for additional tours, citing 3rd Infantry Division reenlistment at 117 percent and 1st Cavalry at 136 percent, offsetting new recruit shortfalls. Recruiting exceeded monthly goals in June and July, with a positive outlook for the rest of the month.

Scientists from Lamont-Doherty and Illinois report in Science that the Earth's solid inner core about 1500 miles wide rotates faster than the mantle and crust by roughly a quarter to a half degree each year. Researchers say magnetic interactions may drive this differential spin as part of the dynamo that generates the planet's magnetic field.
