Honduras: Alerta amarilla por 24 horas más para Cortés, Gracias a Dios, Colón, Atlántida e Islas de la Bahía

Artículo | August 7, 2012 - 1:32pm

Edición / EL LIBERTADOR

Tegucigalpa. Gracias a Dios, Colón, Atlántida e Islas de la Bahía son los departamentos en donde la Comisión Permanente de Contingencias (Copeco) ha extendido la alerta amarilla a 24 horas más. Se incluye en la misma al departamento de Cortés, en vista que la tormenta tropical Ernesto se encuentra a 217 kilómetros al noreste de Islas de la Bahía, con desplazamiento al oeste – noroeste a 22 kilómetros por hora.

Además se mantendrán por ese mismo periodo de tiempo en alerta verde los departamentos de Olancho y Yoro, mientras se presenten condiciones de inestabilidad con presencia de lluvias y chubascos acompañados de actividad eléctrica.

El oleaje en los bancos pesqueros del Caribe podría alcanzar hasta los 14 pies de altura, hecho que obliga a solicitar a las capitanías de puerto mantener restringida la navegación para embarcaciones de pequeño y mediano calado.

La alerta amarilla conlleva la evacuación preventiva de las comunidades en más alto riesgo, en vista de lo cual Copeco llama a los Comités de Emergencia Municipal (Codem) para que en base a sus evaluaciones sobre la vulnerabilidad de la zona, consideren esa posibilidad.

Copeco y el Servicio Meteorológico Nacional (SMN) continúa monitoreando en desarrollo de este fenómeno para emitir los respectivos boletines informativos en caso de ser necesario.

El número de emergencia de Copeco es el 1-1-3 disponible las 24 horas del día en el Centro Nacional de Monitoreo (CNM).

Alertas interpretación / acciones

Before you decide to buy a dress, you will need to know the basic price structure of the dress. The true cost of a dress does not mean anything until all the expenses added before it can be sold to the customer as a retail price. Most physical stores have high extras such as the rent, employees' wages, utilities, insurance, etc. Those sums add up to at a least 30% increase from the original dress cost, which is from either the manufacturer or a wholesale store. For example, if the original dress cost is $100, the expenses would be around $30, so you are paying $130 for a $100 dress. Prom dresses are seasonal Herve Leger Outlet products from mid-March to before July, so business activity is confined to about half of the year. We need to add this seasonal factor into the retail prices. So, if Herve Leger Clothing the owner wants to pursue a 30% profit, the retail price will be Cheap Herve Leger $338 (Original cost $100 脳 expenses 30% 脳 seasonal factor 200% 脳 profit 30%.) This calculation is totally hypothetical but also realistic. It can be vary per stores by stores. You may feel that retail prices are a bit higher and cannot be justified. However, if we carefully observe the nature of the prom dress business http://www.hervelegeroutlets.com the profit margin is not that much because it is not spread out for the entire year. The pure profit of $338 dress is only about $39.

The bond between coffee and work is strong.

The report was published earlier in MayChristian Louboutin Almeria 120 Wedges Blue.

Like the old-fashioned peanut butter and jelly sandwich, the cupcake has reached such iconic proportions pastry chefs are seeking new ways to Christian Louboutin Reticular Leather Pumps Blackmake over an old classic.

While the amped-up cupcake tops their dessert trends list, another fast-rising trend in desserts is the palate for sweChristian Louboutin Greissimo Pump 85mm Platforms Royal Blueet, salty, tart and spicy desserts - sweets that hit different parts of the tongue simultaneously.

Watching the spring 2011 collections was a rather unusual experience: seven-inch heels, glimpses of stocking, banana skirts, beaded hems and a few Christian Louboutin Muffs Furry Boots Greytowering, feather headdresses for good measure.

And they're offering the perfect wardrobe for anChristian Louboutin Jefferson Platform Pumps Redy type of divine decadence that springs to mind.

The relaunch of Bon Appétit magazine was feted by a crew Christian Louboutin Calypso Pumps Greyof stars and celebrity chefs at New York's Minetta Tavern this week to celebrate the May cover that's on US and Canadian newsstands now.

The gueChristian Louboutin Tres Decollete 100 Ankle Strap Pumps Red Blast list included Gwyneth Paltrow - who is rumored to be on the cover of the June issue - and celebrity chefs Daniel Boulud, Tom Colicchio and David ChChristian Louboutin Luly Mary Jane Pumps blackang.

At 55-years-old, Bon Appétit has been a stalwart in the food magazine industry, especially among female readers with a median age Christian Louboutin New Peanut 45mm Wedges Redof 49 and a household income of $100,000. But the new editor-in-chief Adam Rapoport says though it will continue to be for home cooks, the new version will also be more topical, edgier and borrow some star power along the way.

One of Japan's leading underwear manufacturers has released a new line of his-and-hers underwear that can be made-to-order to incorporate specific Christian Louboutin Simple Botta Tall Boots cuoiocolors and additions, such as pockets, yet are more environment-friendly than others on the market.

Gunze Ltd. describChristian Louboutin New Simple 120 Suede Pumps Chocolatees its new Body Wild Fit line as "eco pants" as the Osaka-based firm has set up a new production line for the multi-hued and body-hugging unChristian Louboutin Daffodile 160mm Sequins Purple Pumpsdergarments, meaning they are stitched individually and are therefore able to include buyers' requests.

That can include everything from polka-dShipping feeot patches to different-colored waistbands and the company is also collaborating with artists to produce customized additions - called "Collabo PChristian Louboutin Bambou 140 Suede Pumps Redants" - in which anyone who wants more than a plain pair of underwear can work with designers to dream up their own styles.

The oldest manuChristian Louboutin Ron Ron 100 Glitter Pumps Turquoisefacturer of underwear in Japan, Gunze said that customers can choose from 100 basic colors and that the new system is popular among couples who want tChristian Louboutin Lady Claude 120 Strass Peep Toe Pumps Silvero have matching underwear.

And because each item is created individually, company spokesman Tatsuya Ban said the amount of cloth that is wasted Christian Louboutin Lady Peep Sling 150mm Slingbacks Green/Yelloimilarly, the dyeing process is on a far smaller scale - the company can even dye a single garment at a time - meaning that far less water and dye areChristian Louboutin Mens Studded Flats Leopard required, while less energy is required to complete the process.

In all, the new production system requires nearly 60 percent less water and 19Christian Louboutin platform multicolor pumps blue percent less dye, and when all the savings are tallied up the reduction in carbon dioxide emissions comes to 41 percent, the company said.

As objective as we wine critics like to consider ourselves, the fact is that we all have our coups de coeur and our bêtes noires. I confess that unChristian Louboutin Step n Roll 140mmtil last year, although I didn't actively dislike sherry as such, I was in the take-it-or-leave-it camp.

I had alreadyChristian Louboutin New Helmut Satin 100 Pumps been to Jerez a couple of times and discovered that despite its old-fashioned image, sherry is one of the most complex cask-aged alcoholic drinks in Christian Louboutin Daffodile 160mm Strass Pumps Meridian Bluethe world. I particularly remember the famous sherry bodega of Hidalgo in the pretty Atlantic coastal town of Sanlucar de Barrameda, and not just for Christian Louboutin 100mm Pumps Light Peachwatching the owner Javier Hildalgo pounding along the beach as 5-1 favourite on his mount, Quiet Jaldun, in the annual seaside horseracing feria.

<christian louboutin Banana Suede Platform Pump dark bluep>Showing me around the cool bodega, the venenciador, serving manzanilla from the cask, pulled out sherry after sherry of different vintages from the Christian Louboutin Ron Ron 100mm Pumps Chartreusesolera that made up Hidalgo's bestselling brand, La Gitana. Ladling it into the long-handled, curved steel venencia and deftly pouring it from a greatChristian Louboutin Lady Claude 120 Strass Pumps Pale-Gold height into my little sherry copita, he offered me the chance to do the same, whereupon I poked the venencia through the yeasty white duvet of flor tChristian Louboutin Lady Peep Toe Slingback Blackt all over my shoes.

My friend Tim threw a Christmas party last year.

As household status symbols go, this vastly eChristian Louboutin Calypso Red-Toe Pumps Blackclipses a Smeg fridge or a walk-in wardrobe and Tim knew it. While airily avoiding any questions about how much the thing had cost him, he encouraged Christian Louboutin Two Tone Platform Slingbacks Brownguests to "have a go", as if it were some kind of fairground attraction.

As the buying power of China's masses continues to spiral upwards, more and more information is being gathered focusing not only on what they like Christian Louboutin Skeleton Zipper Suede Boots Blackto spend their money on but how they go about spending it.

This week it has been the turn of the international audit aChristian Louboutin New Simple 120 Suede Pumps Tannd advisory services firm KPMG (http://www.kpmg.com/cn/en) to release its report into the spending habits of mainland Chinese - and it found that 70 pChristian Louboutin Daffodile 160mm Strass Pumps Whiteercent of the country's consumers of luxury brands search the internet each month before making their purchases.

But, surprisingly, just five percent of those polled said they were actually interestChristian Louboutin Bana 140mm Peep Toe Pumps Blacked in making a purchase over the internet.

Manuka honey, the premium product found on fashionable breakfast tables, could play a role in the battle against antibiotic-resistant superbugs, scChristian Louboutin Platform Cage Sandal Blushientists reported yesterday.

Honey is known to have antiseptic properties but the antibacterial potency of manuka honeChristian Louboutin Calypso Blue-Toe Pumps Redy, from New Zealand, is 10 to 50 times more powerful.

Manuka honey is derived from nectar collected by honey bees foraging on the manuka tree in New Zealand and is included in moChristian Louboutin Macarena 120 Wedges Sandals Whitedern wound-care products such as dressings and ointments available on NHS prescription.

Also, there has been a decline in private transport's share of trips from 50 per cent in 1993 to 41 per cent in 2008.

Louboutin, 47, is now suing French label Yves Saint Laurent, claiming certain models of their Tribute, Palais and Woodstock styles, which are sChristian Louboutin Very Croise Platform Slingbacks White-Pinktocked at a number of stores also selling Louboutins, feature a red lacquered sole and are an infringement of his trademark.

"Defendants' use of a red sole on their infringing footwChristian Louboutin Super Dombasle 160mm Suede Wedges Acajouear threatens to mislead the public, and has impaired plaintiffs' ability to control their reputation," the company complained.

Griffey comes through in 9th as M's end losing streak

"It took a little old-fashioned Ken Griffey Jr. magic -- and perhaps the inspiration of Don Wakamatsu's first career ejection -- but the Mariners finally snapped out of their recent funk with a dramatic 4-3 victory over Toronto on Thursday afternoon at Safeco Field.

Griffey drove a run-scoring single to right field with one out in the bottom of the ninth to cap a three-run rally that ended Seattle's five-game losing streak.griffey shoes

The winning rally came shortly after Wakamatsu got tossed in the eighth inning by umpire Andy Fletcher after Ichiro Suzuki was thrown out trying to steal second with the M's trailing 3-1.

"I'll get tossed every night if I need to," said Wakamatsu, who thus wasn't on the field at the end of what turned out to be his 100th victory as a manager.

"Just to be able to watch that in my office was special," he said with a sly grin.ken griffey shoes

The ultra-calm Wakamatsu went nose-to-nose with Fletcher for about a minute before getting the heave-ho, much to the delight of 20,452 fans at Safeco Field who were just happy to have something to yell about at that point.

But the Mariners finally got things going in the ninth. With American League saves leader Kevin Gregg on the mound, Seattle loaded the base on singles by Mike Sweeney and Jose Lopez, followed by a walk to Milton Bradley.

Casey Kotchman then drove a long foul ball into the upper right-field seats before taking a walk to force in a run that closed the gap to 3-2 with no outs.air jordan high heels

Josh Bard then tied the game with a sacrifice fly to left, bringing Griffey up for his game-winning hit off Gregg, who had just one blown save in 13 prior chances.ken griffey jr shoes

Griffey, who is still hitting just .191 and has been through a rough stretch of criticism recently, left the clubhouse without talking to the media. But his teammates were happy to speak for him.

"I think it meant a lot to him," said Sweeney. "The past couple of weeks have probably been two of the toughest of his career and yet he knew he had the backing of everyone in this clubhouse.

"He had every single guy in this clubhouse cheering for him and I'm sure he had every single person in this city cheering for him. He's Mr. Mariner and he came through in big way today.""

Google to downgrade pirate sites in search results

Google is altering its search results to de-emphasise the websites of repeat copyright offenders and make it easier to find legitimate providers of music, movies and other content.

The move is a peace offering to Hollywood and the music recording labels. This year, Google joined other Silicon Valley heavyweights to help kill legislation that would have given government and content creators more power to shut down foreign websites that promote piracy.

The Motion Picture Association of America issued a lukewarm response, saying it was "optimistic" the change would help steer consumers away from piracy.www.kengriffeyjrshoesnyc.org

"We will be watching this development closely - the devil is always in the details," MPAA senior executive president Michael O'Leary said in a statement.

Next week, Google will start using "valid copyright removal notices" to rank its search results, according to a Friday blog post by Google's senior vice president of engineering, Mr Amit Singhal.www.griffeyshoesonecheap.com

Google typically ranks websites based on how many other sites link to them, on the belief that sites that get more links are more trustworthy and useful. But Google also regularly tweaks its formulas to reflect special circumstances.

In this case, sites with high numbers of copyright-removal notices may get bumped down in rankings. In effect, that will help users find legitimate sources of content without removing any pages from its results completely. Google did not elaborate on what it considers to be valid notices.

Google's icy relationship with content creators has thawed slightly.www.kengriffeyjrshoes6.org

Last month, Google said it would offer a US$50 (S$62) -per-month TV package over a super-fast fiber network in a Kansas City test bed. The package would offer mainstream channels including Nickelodeon.

Google, which is based in Mountain View, California, also sells movies and music through its Google Play store on mobile devices that use its Android operating system.www.jordanheels2012online.org

But a US$1 billion copyright lawsuit filed by Viacom against Google's YouTube in 2007 was re-instated by a federal appeals court in April after a lower court threw it out.

And last week, court papers showed that the Authors Guild is demanding Google pay US$750 for each of the 20 million books it has scanned in a 7-year-old case. AP

Arizona Diamondbacks give Justin Upton $51.25M deal | MLB

Justin Upton has lived with high expectations virtually since the day he picked up a baseball bat.

Now at 22, with two full major-league seasons already behind him, he says he welcomes the challenge of living up to the $51.25 million, six-year contract he signed Wednesday with the Arizona Diamondbacks, the second-largest deal in team history.

With his parents Manny and Yvonne looking on proudly at a news conference, the outfielder said he understands the responsibility that comes with this big a contract at such a young age.ken griffey jr shoes

"I do kind of put that pressure on myself," he said. "I want to be great, that's the thing. If you want to be great, then you set your goals higher."

Upton earned his first All-Star berth last season, when he hit .300 with 26 homers and 86 runs batted in.ken griffey shoes

His statistics are compared favorably with those of some of the game's greats at the same age. His OPS (on-base percentage plus slugging percentage) of .836 compares with the early numbers of Al Kaline, Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams, Ken Griffey Jr. and Alex Rodriguez.

"There's a lot to live up to," he said, "and I think I'm ready for that."ken griffey jr shoes sale

He gets a $1.25 million signing bonus, half on April 15 and the rest on July 15. He receives salaries of $500,000 this year, $4.25 million in 2011, $6.75 million in 2012, $9.75 million in 2013, $14.25 million in 2014 and $14.5 million in 2015.

"We view him as a core player, one of our key pieces," general manager Josh Byrnes said, "and as we view the next six years the kind of guy we want to build around."

The only bigger contract in Diamondbacks history was the $52.4 million, four-year deal Randy Johnson signed in 1999.cheap ken griffey shoes

Upton has had the pressure of high expectations for years, following the path of his older brother B.J., who was the No. 2 overall draft pick in 2002. Justin was one better, chosen No. 1 by Arizona in the 2005 draft.

He played less than two years in the minors before being called up by the Diamondbacks in 2007.

Batting gloves protect hands

Omir Santos tried on his new batting gloves, said to slow the impact of a harmful fastball down to the mere annoyance of a junkball, and voiced excitement.

"I think it's going to help," the New York Mets catcher said. "It sounds like it's going to work."ken griffey shoes 2012

The latest high-tech protective product in a sport that's slow to accept innovation, the batting gloves are manufactured by the startup company XProTeX, which hired former All-Star Reggie Smith to go around spring training trying to persuade big-leaguers to switch.

Bob Watson, Major League Baseball's vice president of on-field operations, said his department already has given its approval, which is necessary for all on-field gear.griffeys

"We looked at the data. No, I didn't put it on and take a fastball," said Watson, a former All-Star himself. "Now, is this going to stop all major injuries? That I can't tell you, but according to the data, it should cut down on broken bones and severe injuries coming from pitched balls."

Notes

? The Chicago Cubs agreed to terms with Cuban defector Juan Yasser Serrano, 21, a right-handed pitcher.griffeys 2012

? Aaron Harang was selected by Reds manager Dusty Baker to be Cincinnati's opening-day starter for a team record tying fifth straight season.

Reds, Baker have deal through 2012

Dusty Baker brought in a tailor during his first spring training as the Reds manager, getting the clubhouse staff ready to look good for the day when the marooned franchise would finally win.

"I said, 'Man, we're going to the playoffs, dude,'" Baker related. "I want them all looking good, clean. And I want them believing that we're going places."ken griffey jr shoes

Two years later, the staff freed those snazzy suits from their protective plastic wrap. And the manager who picked up the tab got a two-year contract extension and a chance to make sure those suits get a lot of wear.

The Reds announced the deal Monday, a reward for the team's first playoff appearance in 15 years.ken griffey shoes

"I think we got here sooner than a lot of people thought - to the playoffs," general manager Walt Jocketty said. "I think a lot of it is due to Dusty's leadership."

Baker is in the final season of his original three-year deal. The front office approached him during the season to talk about an extension, and the sides closed in on an agreement last week while the Reds were clinching the NL Central title.

The superstitious Baker wanted the deal to last two years.griffeys

"I've had some of my best success on two-year contracts," Baker said Monday. "I don't know why."

Baker's coaching staff also was offered two-year extensions before the club worked out, attended a downtown rally and headed to Philadelphia. The Reds open against the defending NL champions on Wednesday.

The Reds were the biggest surprise of the division champions, winning the Central despite a young and inexperienced lineup and pitching rotation. Baker kept it together during one of the tightest pennant races in years. The Reds and Cardinals weren't separated by more than three games from mid-May to mid-August.

The division title was a huge breakthrough.griffeys 2012

Cincinnati hadn't been to the playoffs since 1995, when Davey Johnson took the Reds to the NL championship series, then got replaced by owner Marge Schott, who simply didn't like him. The Reds went through five more managers before hiring Baker, who presided over a quick rebuilding process.cheap griffeys

The Reds traded Ken Griffey Jr. and Adam Dunn during Baker's first season, beginning a change from power-dependent offense to one that can win by going from first-to-third on a single - a category in which they led the league this season.

"It was very difficult (in 2008)," Baker said. "You know that you're rebuilding at that time. And then you've got to get new leaders, you've got to get a new face or two for the organization."griffey shoes

The Reds brought in third baseman Scott Rolen last year and shortstop Orlando Cabrera in the offseason, adding two veterans who have been to the playoffs. They helped a core of young players pull off the unexpected championship, one that puts Baker in select company.cheap griffeys 2012

Baker led the Giants and the Cubs to the playoffs before coming to Cincinnati. He joined Bill McKechnie as the only managers to take three NL teams to the playoffs. Nine have taken three different teams to the playoffs overall - McKechnie, Johnson, Tony La Russa, Jim Leyland, Billy Martin, Lou Piniella, Joe Torre and Dick Williams also did it.

Given the team's young core, Baker thinks the staff is going to get more chances to look good in those suits.cheap ken griffey shoes

"To me, this is just a first step hopefully in a long line of wins, in a long line of excellent years," Baker said.www.cheapgriffeysonline.com

Mariners go into Winter Meetings "open-minded," but not likely to be bidders for high-priced free agents

The tearing down of a 101-loss Mariners team has been under way since before the disastrous 2010 season ended.

Only 14 of the 25 players who opened the season with the Mariners are still on the 40-man roster and two of those, Matt Tuiasosopo and Rob Johnson, are not considered favorites to make the squad next spring. Mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik continued his reworking in recent days by trading third baseman Jose Lopez and non-tendering pitcher Ryan Rowland-Smith.griffeys

Zduriencik arrives in Florida on Sunday for the annual baseball winter meetings looking to accelerate his plans to rebuild what has been torn down. The Mariners already have youngsters Justin Smoak, Adam Moore, Michael Saunders, Dustin Ackley and Michael Pineda either at or near the majors, but must figure out where they fit and how to bolster an offense that ranked among the worst in the last 40 years.

"I've always believed that you just have to acquire talent," Zduriencik said before leaving for the meetings, which begin Monday and conclude Thursday morning with the Rule 5 draft. "As you move forward, you win with good players. You may go in to the meetings with a game plan thinking that X, Y and Z is the thing you need to do, but then, as it unfolds, I think you need to adjust.

"You realize, 'Maybe I can't go down this path to do this, but this helps me.' "griffeys 2012

Zduriencik lost out in bidding on free-agent pitcher Rich Harden at the winter meetings in Indianapolis a year ago. But then, during an airport conversation on the way home with Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr., groundwork was laid that resulted in a deal for star pitcher Cliff Lee just a week later.cheap griffeys

The Mariners plan to keep their on-field payroll at roughly the same amount as the $91 million spent on opening day last season (an additional $2.5 million was spent on players no longer with the team and Ackley's major-league contract). That's left the team little room to pursue higher-priced free agents and led to speculation Zduriencik will attempt a trade or two to reshape his lineup while continuing the rebuilding plan.

It was just two years ago, at the winter meetings in Las Vegas, that Zduriencik helped orchestrate a 12-player, three-team swap that landed Franklin Gutierrez and others in exchange for a package centered on closer J.J. Putz. Zduriencik could try to move his current closer, David Aardsma, because the pitcher stands to earn between $4 million and $5 million in arbitration for a rebuilding club not lacking in high-powered bullpen arms.

Seattle has been linked to trade rumors involving Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Justin Upton, through the asking price for him is expected to include several of the young prospects the Mariners are looking to in their rebuild. There have been lesser rumors about the Mariners possibly dealing for Diamondbacks third baseman Mark Reynolds and then trying to trade Chone Figgins.griffey shoes

For now, Figgins — who played second base last season — appears to be the replacement for Lopez at third base. But at age 32, with a hitting skill-set that appears to duplicate leadoff man Ichiro, it's tough to see where Figgins — owed $27 million the next three years — truly fits on a team not expected to contend before 2012 or 2013 at the earliest.

The Mariners also need somebody to man second base if, as expected, Ackley does not make the team out of spring training. Other priorities include finding a capable catcher who can share time with Moore as he tries to prove he belongs in the major leagues.ken griffey jr shoes

Seattle also must find a way to jump-start an offense that scored only 513 runs, the worst total in the majors since the designated hitter came into effect in 1972. Areas that appear easiest to supply a boost in would include DH and left field — especially if the Mariners don't believe Milton Bradley and Saunders can handle those spots.

Zduriencik cautioned that, even with so many youngsters in the fold, he isn't handing out jobs just yet. Players young and experienced will have "an opportunity to compete for jobs" next spring, but he won't hesitate to make a move this coming week if it benefits the team.ken griffey shoes

That could include moves to bring in "veteran leadership" and to "fill some of the needs that we have" with older players if the right ones come along. Zduriencik noted that several of his younger players still have minor-league options and could be sent to Class AAA in the short term if they show they aren't ready.www.griffeysonlinestore.com

"I think you go in open-minded," he said. "And I think that's what our plan is, I'm very open-minded. I know what I'd like to accomplish. Whether we can, or cannot, remains to be seen. But I would be able to float in one direction or another if I felt it could help us in the long-term."

Ken Griffey Jr. says he left because he was "a distraction" to team

Ken Griffey Jr. says he retired abruptly last year because he felt he'd become a distraction to the team.

"I'm not upset,'' he said. "I think people thought I was upset about certain things, but that's not the case.''

Griffey said he merely feared that people he'd grown close to on the team would try to talk him out of retirement if he stuck around for a press conference. griffeys 2012

So, I asked him, if everything else was fine, why hasn't he spoken to former manager Don Wakamatsu since he walked away from the team and the game back on June 2?

"My phone rings,'' he said, implying that Wakamatsu should have called him. "That's just the way it is.''www.onitsukatiger2012.com

Players and Wakamatsu himself say that the pair didn't speak for the final two weeks of Griffey's career. One player told the Times last summer that Griffey erroneously believed that Wakamatsu had been the source of the Sleep Gate story in which the future Hall of Famer was said to be napping in the clubhouse during a game in May.

The player said Griffey shared his opinion with others on the team and only realized weeks later -- after he'd already retired -- that Wakamatsu was not the story's source. But today, Griffey merely says he wasn't upset at the time and left because he feared he'd become a distraction to the team.

Griffey was asked what he has to say to fans disappointed by his abrupt departure. ken griffey shoes 2012

"You want me to apologize for something that I felt was right? I felt that it was right for me to leave. I'm not going to do it. Because it's not intended to hurt people. It was a decision that I made. I made that 15 years ago...there are some people who are upset and some people who are not. I can't worry about it. I had to do what I thought was right for me.''

Griffey had indeed spoken for a long time of retiring without fanfare or a press conference. Again, though, one wonders why -- if he insists he left with no ill feelings and had simply planned to leave this way all along -- he didn't extend his manager or general manager the courtesy of a phone call. And why, to this day, he still hasn't spoken to a manager he had a close relationship with in 2009. He did call team president Chuck Armstrong, but, typically, if nothing's wrong, the manager and GM do get calls and are offered an explanation when a player suddenly retires.

So, today, the question was asked and answered. Griffey's phone rings is his answer. That's all he's prepared to say about it. We can keep asking the same question over and over again, but I doubt we'll get a different answer.

So, that's his explanation. Whether or not you accept it is up to you. cheap griffeys

The bottom line, as I've written before, is that this franchise needs as many of its few icons to come back within the fold. It says a lot that one of the most popular, if not the most popular, public figures for this team was not a player, but a broadcaster. The death of Dave Niehaus left the Mariners reeling back in November, not just because of the human being they lost, but also because a part of the organization died with him.

Griffey said it will be hard for the organization and those who met Niehaus up-close to get over his death from a heart attack last November at age 73. He was asked whether it will be odd not having Niehaus around on Opening Day.king griffey shoes

"Yeah, it's odd,'' he said. "If somebody tells you it isn't, it is. Definitely, looking around and not seeing those white shoes, those tight pants he wears and that semi-tight shirt. And that voice. I think that's the biggest thing. That voice saying hello to you, teasing you, having a good time at the ballpark.

"I think that's the thing that a lot of the guys who were here over the years are going to really miss. And even the guys who knew him for a year or so, they're going to miss him, too. But I've known him since 17, so like I said, in Seattle he's like the grandfather to a lot of guys. I know he was one to me, so I'm going to miss that. You're not going to be able to replace that. You can replace a player, but that voice, you can't do it. It's going to take 50 people and even those 50, it's still not going to be the same.''

Griffey may not be the most popular guy for some fans right now, but he is a future first ballot Hall of Famer and arguably the most famous face for the franchise around the world of baseball and at-large.http://griffeys2012.weebly.com

He just got back from a trip to the Philippines, where he was serving as a goodwill ambassador on behalf of the United States government. Now, he'll be an ambassador of sorts within the organization, especially when it comes to spreading the message to younger players about what's expected of them.

"This is the organization I grew up in,'' he said. "So, if there's going to be an opportunity for me to be in baseball, it's going to be here. I had an opportunity to get a chance to do it. It's a lot of learning because it's a little different. It's not going to change. I'm still going to be the same person. You're going to know how I feel.''

And what's his main message going to be?http://kengriffeyshoes2012.weebly.com

"Hard work doesn't start during the game,'' he said. "Hard work starts the night before.''

Regardless of what happened last year -- and several good people did lose jobs because of the events of 2010 -- the organziation has to try to put it in the rear-view mirror. It will take time for some to forgive Griffey. And some fans may never do that. That's their choice.

But in my view, you do have to put the events of last year into the context of a 20-year career. If some of you want to include 1999 in that context, again, it's your right.

You've read my stuff about Griffey and know how I feel about what went on last season.http://cheapgriffeys.weebly.com

But you also know, if you've kept reading this space, that I believe the organization, in the wake of Niehaus's death, had to find some way to bring Griffey back into the fold. That he was too important a part of Mariners' history -- good and bad, but mostly good -- to be estranged from the city he spent most of his career in.

Griffey said he has no regrets about coming back to play in 2010 after what could have been a storybook sendoff in 2009.http://kinggriffeyshoes.weebly.com

"No,'' he said. "I mean, things happen. Through no fault of its own, things happen. I got to meet some great people last year. If I wouldn't have done it, I wouldn't have had an opportunity to meet some of the people in Seattle that I did meet...and who still call me today. So, no, I'm not sorry that I came back.''

It may take time for some to get the appreciation back that many fans felt in 2009. And some may never get it back. But the team had to try.www.nikesoccercleatsmvp.com

Griffey came today and offered his explanation. It may be enough for some, not enough for others, but it's a start. And it's as good as it's going to get.

We'll see where things go from here.
