ASHBURN, Va. -- An NFL game official was suspended Friday for one game without pay for making "a profane and derogatory statement" to a Washington Redskins player, an incident that has led to a call for NFL players to stop using the N-word on the field and in the locker room. The league announced Friday that umpire Roy Ellison will not work an NFL game this weekend as punishment for words directed at left tackle Trent Williams late in the second quarter of the Redskins loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. The National Football League Referees Association issued a statement Friday evening saying that it will file a grievance, that the suspension was a rush to judgment without hearing Ellisons side of the story. Williams said he was called vulgar names -- although not the N-word -- by Ellison and did nothing to provoke it. A replay from the second quarter shows Ellison gesturing at Williams while walking backward just before a snap, with Williams, quarterback Robert Griffin III and tight end Niles Paul turning to look back at the umpire. Redskins coach Mike Shanahan was among those who supported Williams, saying: "You just cant use that type of language to get your point across." But John Wooten, chairman of the Fritz Pollard Alliance, group that includes minority coaches and officials, said his organization spoke to game officials who said that Ellison was responding after Williams directed the N-word at Ellison. Both Williams and Ellison are African-American. The incident, coming in the wake of allegations involving racially charged texts allegedly sent by Richie Incognito to a Miami Dolphins teammate, led the alliance to issue a statement imploring all NFL players to stop using the racial slur. "I think that we all understand clearly that in terms of supporting Roy, were not in any way condoning his reaction to what happened," Wooten told The Associated Press. "Theres no question in our mind what provoked all of this, that there was a disrespectful communication going on between Trent and an Eagle player. They were using the N-word along with all other type of profanity, and the N-word is what caused Roy to say, Hey, you need to be more respectful." Wooten, 76, said Williams then directed the profanity at Ellison. "There is no question in my mind that Trent said this to Roy, and I dont question that," said Wooten, who noted that he has not spoken to Ellison directly. "And thats what, with Incognito and all this stuff and the N-word and how its used in the locker room, that caused us to say, Hey, lets put an end to this." Wooten, who played nine seasons in the NFL with the Cleveland Browns and Redskins, said Ellison should have thrown a flag on Williams instead of escalating the exchange. In announcing the suspension, the NFL said that "game officials are expected to avoid personal confrontations with players and be respectful of players and coaches at all times." Michael Arnold, NFLRA legal counsel, said Ellison is an accomplished 11-year veteran who is highly respected. "The NFL imposed its judgment upon him without consideration of all the facts," Arnold said. "The decision was arbitrary and unjustified and will be challenged with an immediate grievance." Jim Quirk, NFLRA executive director, said the "NFLs decision to suspend Mr. Ellison creates a double standard for what is acceptable on field conduct." He and Arnold cited the leagues decision to take no action against Williams. "The League insists that officials are held to a high standard but others involved in the game are held to no standard," Quick added. "Apparently the NFL accepts and condones a culture where players, coaches and teams can use racial slurs and profanity toward each other and at officials. "Music played in locker rooms and in the stadiums before games include racial slurs (including the "N" word) and references to sexual violence with impunity. These types of cheap slurs and racial banter on the field often lead to angry and emotional responses which can result in fighting and injury. This is completely contrary to the atmosphere of sportsmanship and respect the league says should exist in the game." Williams, 25, said on Wednesday he didnt expect the league to punish Ellison, saying the NFL would "probably sweep it under the rug." He also reiterated that he did not say anything provocative to Ellison. "If I said something of that nature to him, its at least a flag, or Im thrown out of the game," Williams said. "Id never say anything like that to a referee." Said Wooten: "I know that Trent has said he didnt say that. If thats what he wants to live with, he can live with that." liquor bottle table lamps for sale Turkish team shines in International Design Awards in LA The industrial design team from the Middle East Technical University (ODTü), Designnobis, won seven awards at the International Design Awards held in Los Angeles. Academic Hakan Gürsu of ODTü told that the International Design Awards are considered among the most prestigious industrial design awards in the world. Stating that "Solar Taxi," which stood out among other designs at the awards, was designed as an electric car, Gürsu said the car also works with clean energy thanks to its solar panels. He added that the design claimed second place in the Transportation and Vehicles with Alternative Fuel categories, as well as winning an honorable mention. "Solar Taxi is intended to be used for touristic purposes in city centers and the design is considered as the transportation vehicle of the future with its alternative energy and high performance," Gürsu claimed. The car, which uses electricity as well as solar energy, is attuned to modern times with its weight, price, safety and environmentalist approach and offers a spacious indoor area with panoramic scenery. Moreover, the five-passenger capacity car creates access for disabled people with its double doors and platform. "Torchia Solar," the other project designed by Designnobis, uses solar energy for its charger and illumination unit and the solar panels it features enables the solar energy to be used in portable devices such as mobile phones. Gürsu reported that the design, which can create light in emergencies and natural disasters, won the first prize in the Sustainable Living category. The other design, named the "Scorpion Lamp," on the other hand, is designed as a solution to the unproductiveness of table lamps. Stating that table lamps become unproductive in time due to their adjustment mechanisms, Gürsu said that their design does not feature any of these mechanisms, thanks to its minimalistic approach. He said the Scorpion Lamp claimed the third place in the Home Furnishing- Lighting category. Gürsu and his team, which has risen into the top five in the World's Award-Winning Companies list, has won 135 design awards in the last eight years. table lamps for kids One of he bigges challenges in shaping a feminine living room is finding ha fine line beween a sensible and sylish space and a room ha reminds you of a girls’ bedroom ha is drenched in muliple shades of pink!

A new projector called Beam might not be able to conjure holographic videogames, but it could help user interfaces permeate our environments in a similar fashion. Small-scale projectors have been on the market for some time, but Beam is unique in that it is designed to screw into light sockets while pulling double duty as an ultrabright LED lightbulb. This is a simple change to the hardware, but fundamentally changes the way the product gets used. It’s not a matter or buying and installing a new gadget, but rather, upgrading an existing one. “Beam is a happy product that wants to help make your life special and more fun,” says Jeroen van Geel, Chief Creative Officer at Beam Labs. “It feels like a modern lamp, but when you look closer you notice there is more to this lamp than you thought.” 906e6b2496f80be83f23434099c432b6_original Click to Open Overlay Gallery By serving as a light bulb in addition to a projector, Beam becomes a simple upgrade rather than a new appliance. tiffany style floor lamps ARTS & LIFESTYLE By any interpretation, modernism is not modern at all – or at least not contemporary. With its roots in the build-up to and aftermath of the First World War, when the disenchanted Europeans who had survived threw off the fuss and frills of the era that took them to war, modernism emerged in part to wipe the slate clean. As a movement, it has been succeeded by the world of postmodernism, where nothing was quite what it seemed, and then the varied attempts at post-structuralism and deconstruction that allowed academics and philosophers to write impenetrable essays about how hard it is to exist. Through all of this wrangling with “the self”, the output of modernism not only survived, but also established itself in the contemporary culture of more than one generation. Architects and designers who could be called modernists, from Eileen Gray to the Eameses, may not necessarily be household names, but much like Renaissance paintings from old masters, their work is recognised as familiar by far more people than those who actually know who those behind the pieces are. It can’t be easy to carry the label “icon” through the centuries, but there’s a core collection of pieces that are doing just that. Some could be accused of being overfamiliar, but the price of fame, in design at least, is knock-offs and much of what is recognised are copies and imitations, and not necessarily the real thing. We’ve picked out five landmark designs that illustrate the continuing influence of modernism in design – and for which the real thing can be sourced through manufacturers licensed to make the originals, or for the very thorough, through vintage furniture auctions. 1. Noguchi coffee table, 1939 Three pieces – two wood and one glass – are combined to create a piece of furniture that looks like it may have washed up on a very sophisticated beach. Designed by Isamu Noguchi, an American with a Japanese father, it’s a product that demonstrates its origins at the hands of a man who was a sculptor above all else. The design has its origins in a 1939 sample created for a furniture designer, who took advantage of Noguchi’s internment during the Second World War to create knock-offs. Noguchi recreated his own design, and it was introduced to Herman Miller catalogues in 1948. Buyers of current makes have a choice of walnut, ebony or cherry for the base, with the top always an -organic-shaped slab of glass. Those who like a vintage piece may have more luck with this item than any other on the list, thanks to a decades-long production run of the original. GUATEMALA CITY -- Canada fell 1-0 to the United States in the final of the CONCACAF Womens Under-17 World Cup on Saturday despite carrying the bulk of the play in the second half. Amber Munerlyns goal in the 21st minute proved to be the difference as the Americans edged defending champion Canada. Both teams had already qualified for the 2012 Womens Under-17 World Cup, which starts in Azerbaijan in September. "Especially in the second half, we were the far more dominant team," said Canadian coach Bryan Rosenfeld. "We had plenty of chances and they were hanging on with desperate defending." Rosenfeld believes the team can make a run at the World Cup after its performance in the qualifier. ";If we can prepare well and stay healthy, then I think we can move out of the group stage," he said.dddddddddddd Canadas next step in preparing for the World Cup is not yet known. European clubs still have to qualify for the tournament, and only after that will Canada look for friendly matches against other nations leading up to September. Rosenfeld said the Canadian coaching staff will be busy evaluating the team and focusing on individual players over the summer. "The experience (at the World Cup) is going to be great for them moving forward, but our job at the under-17 level is to provide the senior national team with a player with a good platform of development to move forward." table lamps walmart
