...traveled a distance of nearly a kilometer. In fact, sheer altitude dominates almost every facet of this 492-m property. Dinners in the world's tallest restaurant, and drinks in the world's highest pub, are filled with breathless gawking at the cityscape below. A pair of huge 150-ton dampers - weights that absorb the motion of a swaying building - eliminate sloshing in the world's loftiest pool. The world's fastest elevators must ascend at the rate of 10 meters a second in order to make journey times tolerable. Such is life at the world's tallest hotel...

...eight U.S. troops killed Tuesday had been aboard 20-ton Stryker vehicles that hit IEDs. That's about the same weight as many MRAPs in Iraq, and several tons heavier than those now being delivered to Afghanistan (various classes of each vehicle make weight comparisons tricky). The MRAP program, championed by Defense Secretary Robert Gates, has won praise from soldiers for the protection the vehicles offer them from roadside bombs. There are some 12,000 MRAPs in Iraq, and 3,600 of the original MRAPs in Afghanistan, up from almost none last year. The U.S. has spent nearly $30 billion...
