Sears Tower To Get Glass Skydeck....

Sears Tower -- and it's still called that for the time being -- will invite its Skydeck visitors to enjoy a view usually reserved for window-washers and superheroes.

It'll be a walk on the high side as visitors on the observation deck step into glass enclosures that extend 4.3 feet beyond the building. Beneath their feet in dizzyness-inducing splendor will be the city itself, 103 stories below, with an inch and a half of glass between person and pavement.

The attraction, called the Ledge, should open by early June and is part of a multimillion dollar renovation of the tourist spaces at the nation's tallest building, said Randy Stancik, Skydeck general manager.

He said the Ledge was inspired by glass-floored thrills at the Grand Canyon and Toronto's CN Tower. The plan is to attract more Skydeck visitors, especially jaded locals who haven't visited the tower in years.

"This definitely will be something new to take from the experience, a new Skydeck memory," Stancik said. About 1.3 million people visit the Skydeck every year.

Stancik realizes the illusion of a mid-air suspension isn't for everyone. But the daredevils will be enclosed by glass.

Seeing foreheads pressed to the Skydeck windows, Stancik knew people want to look down as well as out.

The four enclosures are on the west side of the tower so you can look straight down to the ground. On other sides, downward views are interrupted by setbacks from the wider floors below.

The enclosures are retractable: they move inside so window-washing equipment isn't obstructed. Stancik said the Ledges will be available in all kinds of weather.

The Ledges are included in Skydeck admission, which jumps a buck today to $14.95 for ages 12 and up. It's $10.50 for kids 3 to 11. The price increase is in preparation for a Skydeck upgrade that also includes new exhibits highlighting Chicago's history, culture and tourism attractions, including a display that lets viewers rise the equivalent of 103 stories above Wrigley Field.

The Skydeck changes are part of a plan to make the iconic building more profitable.

Later this summer, the name will change to the Willis Tower, for a global insurance firm that leased space in the building.

The owners also are considering painting or recladding the building in silver to give it a contemporary look. Also under discussion is building a hotel next to the tower.

An inch and a 1/2 of glass between you and a 103-story fall. I wish I would...

NBA Playoffs...

Round 1...

Scores...

Celtics 127, Bulls 128 (3OT)

Magic 114, 76ers 89

Blazers 76, Rockets 92

Top Performers...

• Ray Allen - 59 minutes, 51 points, 18-32 from the field, 9-18 from deep, 5 boards, 3 assists, 3 steals. WOW....
• Rajon Rondo - 8 points, 19 assists, 9 rebounds.
• John Salmons - 60 minutes, 35, 6 rebounds, 4 assists.
  
• Derrick Rose - 28 points, 8 boards, 7 assists.
• Joakim Noah - 9 points, 15 rebounds, 1 steal (you know when that was). 
• Rashard Lewis - 29 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 blocks.
• Andre Miller - 24 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists.
• Ron Artest - 27 points, 11-21.

Things To Think About...

• This Bulls/Celtics....The NBA's living up to the tag line this year: "Where Amazing Happens". Without question one of the best series since Jordan left the Bulls. And it's the first round. But remember....Boston did this last year, too.
• Can we get Rondo vs. Hinrich pay-per-view???
• Forget about the game for a second, and recognize that Ray Allen had one of the greatest shooting performances EVER. 51 points, on 18-32??? 9-18 from 3??? And so many big shots down the stretch. Ridiculous. Why he didn't touch the ball in the last 2 1/2 minutes the world will never know...
• Pathetic. I've used the word a couple times already in talking about the Playoffs, (i.e. N.O. game 4, Detroit). This time it applies to Philly. How the hell do you suffer your worst loss of the series, to struggling Orlando team that's missing Dwight Howard and Courtney Lee. AT HOME. WITH THE SERIES ON THE LINE.
• Houston looks nice. I hate to do it, but the question must be posed: What does this say about T-Mac?

• Dwayne Wade - 29 points (23 in the second half), 4, and 4. 
• Carmelo Anthony - 34 points, 6 boards, 4 steals, 3 assists.

Things To Think About...

• That Atlanta/Miami was violent as hell...
• Will Josh Smith's missed dunk fire up the Heat D. Wade.
• The Nuggets have a nice little whip: With Chauncey, J.R., and Melo all capable of hitting anyone for 30. Can they keep the D up?
• Now that the Hornets are done getting their ass kicked, what's the plan for the off-season? They've got so many problems.

76ers 78, Magic 91 (Magic Lead 3-2)

Mavs 106, Spurs 93 (Mavs won 4-1)

• Dirk Nowitzki - 30 points, 11-17 from the field, 9 rebounds.
• Brandon Roy - 25 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 1 block.
• LaMarcus Aldridge - 25 points, 7 rebounds.

Things To Think About...

• This Bulls/Celtics series is epic: First NBA Playoff series with 3 OT games. And there have 85 lead changes. that's insane. The Hawks/Heat series: 5 lead changes.
  
• Save Kirk Hinrich's 19, the Bulls' and Celtics' benches combined for 10 points.
• Dwight Howard's elbow are a problem. One intentionally hit Samuel Dalembert, and could get him suspended. Another hit Courtney Lee, who's now out for Game 6. 
• Death Of A Dynasty: San Antonio. They're just too old.

Scores...4/27/09...

Hawks 81, Heat 71 (2-2)

Nuggets 121, Hornets 63 (no, thats not a typo) (Nuggets Lead 3-1)

Jazz 96, Lakers 107 (Lakers won 4-1)

• Kobe Bryant - 31 points, 4 rebounds, 4 steals.
• Lamar Odom - 26 points, 15 boards, 4 assists, 3 blocks.

Things To Think About...

• More pathetic: N.O. last night or Detroit's entire playoff performance? I love N.O. Chris Paul, but there's no way you lose by 58 without quitting. And none of CP3's teammates should even be able to look him in the eye. NOBODY had his back after the Nuggets put him on his ass time and time again.
• Andrew Bynum in the past 3 games: 28 minutes, 8 points, 4 rebounds. What's the deal?
• What will the Jazz do in these offseason? Clearly changes must be made. I say get rid of anybody but D. Will, Ronnie Brewer, Ronnie Price, and Paul Millsap.
• Can D. Wade play through the back spasms?

Found This Pretty Intersting...

Lmao. Self explanatory.

Jayson Williams Stunned With Taser

Jayson Williams was stunned with a Taser by police in his swank hotel suite Monday after the reportedly suicidal ex-NBA star resisted attempts by officers to take him to a hospital.

Police were called to the hotel in lower Manhattan's Battery Park City around 4 a.m. when a female friend reported the former New Jersey Nets player was acting suicidal.

When officers arrived, the 6-foot-10, 325-pound Williams appeared drunk and agitated, police said. There were empty bottles of prescription drugs strewn around his disheveled hotel suite and several suicide notes.

Officers with the Emergency Services Unit, an elite team trained to deal with emotionally disturbed people, responded and stunned Williams with a Taser after he resisted attempts to be hospitalized.

It's the latest in a series of public troubles for the 41-year-old former NBA All-Star, who played nine seasons with the Nets and the Philadelphia 76ers before retiring in 2000.

He was convicted in 2004 of trying to cover up the shooting death of his hired driver Costas "Gus" Christofi at his mansion in Alexandria Township, N.J., in February 2002.

He was acquitted of aggravated manslaughter, but the jury deadlocked on a reckless manslaughter count. A retrial is pending and he has been free on bail since the shooting.

Williams' wife filed divorce papers this year claiming he was abusive, adulterous and had a drug problem. Proceedings continue.

Williams' manager told the New York Daily News outside a Manhattan hospital that the athlete was on the mend.

"Jayson is doing fine. He said he was fine," Akhtar Farzaie told the newspaper. "All of us are here to be by his side as friends."
