The World's Highest-Paid Athletes
Kurt Badenhausen, 06.17.09, 11:50 AM EDT

Eight months on the shelf after knee surgery put a severe dent in his prize money, and killed his overseas appearance fees. One of his main sponsors walked away a year before their agreement was set to expire.

Yet Tiger Woods remains sports' highest earner with an annual income two and a half times larger than his closest competitor. The world's top golfer made $110 million during the past 12 months and is the best paid sportsman for the eighth straight year.

Woods' knee injury caused his prize money to drop to $5 million from $25 million, but his overall earnings only fell $5 million thanks to an expansion of Woods' non-playing financial empire....
......

Our list of the highest-paid athletes looks at earnings derived from salaries, bonuses, prize money, endorsements and licensing income between June 2008 and June 2009 and does not deduct for taxes or agents' fees. Overall, the top 20 earned $789 million, down 1% from last year. The cutoff to make the list was $30 million.

Drop-offs from last year include boxer Floyd Mayweather (has not fought since December 2007), NFL players Ben Roethlisberger and Dwight Freeney (both made the 2008 list after inking contracts with big signing bonuses) and Formula One driver Fernando Alonso (just missed the cut).

The highest-ranking of the four newcomers to the list is boxer Manny Pacquiao who earned $40 million over the last year, tied for the sixth most. Pacquiao cemented his claim as the world's best pound-for-pound fighter with convincing knockouts of Oscar De La Hoya in December and Ricky Hatton in May. The two blockbuster fights garnered more than 2 million pay-per-view buys in the U.S. and earned Pac-Man $30 million combined.

Pacquiao's massive popularity in his native Philippines is why companies like Nike and San Miguel beer have signed him to endorse their products. Pacquiao intends to use that popularity to run for political office when his ring career is over.

Our 20 highest earners have a very international flavor with Pacquiao one of eight non-Americans on the list. Finnish Formula One driver Kimi Raikkonen earned $45 million over the past year, tied for second on our list with hoop legends Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. Right behind that trio is global icon David Beckham who earned $42 million playing for the Los Angeles Galaxy and AC Milan, while schilling for Adidas ( ADDDY.PK - news - people ), Giorgio Armani and Motorola ( MOT - news - people ).

Notable omission: the entire NFL, which didn't place anyone in the top 20 despite being the world's richest sports league. The league's salary cap keeps a lid on individual player salaries, and few players outside of Peyton Manning collect big endorsement deals. The top NFL earner during the past 12 months was Oakland Raiders cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha who made $22 million, mainly as a result of the three-year, $45 million contract he signed in February.

Chubby People Live Longest: Japan Study

TOKYO (AFP) - Health experts have long warned of the risk of obesity, but a new Japanese study warns that being very skinny is even more dangerous, and that slightly chubby people live longer.

People who are a little overweight at age 40 live six to seven years longer than very thin people, whose average life expectancy was shorter by some five years than that of obese people, the study found.

"We found skinny people run the highest risk," said Shinichi Kuriyama, an associate professor at Tohoku University's Graduate School of Medicine who worked on the long-term study of middle-aged and elderly people.

"We had expected thin people would show the shortest life expectancy but didn't expect the difference to be this large," he told AFP by telephone.

The study was conducted by a health ministry team led by Tohoku University professor Ichiro Tsuji and covered 50,000 people between the ages of 40 and 79 over 12 years in the northern Japanese prefecture of Miyagi.

"There had been an argument that thin people's lives are short because many of them are sick or smoke. But the difference was almost unchanged even when we eliminated these factors," Kuriyama said.

Main reasons for the shorter lifespans of skinny people were believed to include their heightened vulnerability to diseases such as pneumonia and the fragility of their blood vessels, he said.

But Kuriyama warned he was not recommending people eat as much as they want.

"It's better that thin people try to gain normal weight, but we doubt it's good for people of normal physique to put on more fat," he said.

The study divided people into four weight classes at age 40 according to their body mass index, or BMI, calculated by dividing a person's weight in kilograms by their squared height in metres.

The normal range is 18.5 to 25, with thinness defined as under 18.5. A BMI of 25 to 30 was classed as slightly overweight and an index above 30 as obese.

for all your efforts and success to finding your relatives, Luisa, i am very proud and grateful. welcome to the family.

    * 17) Federer is the sixth man to win all four Grand Slams after Fred Perry, Don Budge (1938), Rod Laver (1962 & 1969), Roy Emerson and Andre Agassi. Federer is the third man to win all four in open era after Laver and Agassi, and second man to win all four on three different surfaces (Hard, Clay and Grass) after Agassi.

Flawless Federer Storms To Historic First French Crown

Sunday, June 7, 2009
By David Tutton

The tennis gods brewed up a storm around Roland Garros on Sunday afternoon as they prepared to welcome a new member into their midst. Roger Federer repelled the rain, thunder, and a certain Robin Soderling to take his rightful place among the immortals of the game.

The Swiss produced a near-flawless display, delighting his fans with the full range of shots that have made him arguably the greatest player of his era, to sweep aside Robin Soderling 6-1 7-6 6-4 and seal his first-ever French Open title. The triumph enabled Federer to become only the sixth man in history to win all four Grand Slam tournaments, and also saw him equal Pete Sampras’ record of 14 majors.

The enormity of his achievement was evident on match point when Federer fell to the red earth of Roland Garros weeping tears of joy. Minutes later, Andre Agassi was on hand to present the Coupe des Mousquetaires and share in the Swiss legend’s delight as he held the trophy to the air, 10 years after the American had sealed his own career Slam with a far more hard-fought win here over Andrei Medvedev.

Early stranglehold

Federer owed his victory to a brilliant performance, by far his best of the tournament, in which he took a stranglehold on the match from the outset and clinically dissected his opponent’s game.

Seemingly overwhelmed by the event, Soderling was unrecognizable in the first set from the man who had swept all before him â€" including four-time champion Rafael Nadal â€" in his run to the final. A double fault that handed Federer the first of three breaks could have been an ominous precursor of what was to come. The giant Swede was simply unable to find any rhythm or indeed any semblance of the form he had shown throughout the tournament, not that Federer gave him the slightest chance to settle.

The Swiss is a past master at winning Grand Slam finals and experience was made to tell as he immediately got into his groove. His first serve was strong (firing down 16 aces throughout the match), his shot selection astute and return of serve simply breathtaking. The Swede’s wayward hitting was making it easy for him, but he needed no second invitation to rank up the games and move rapidly clear.

Federer mixed up his shots brilliantly, slicing on the backhand side before accelerating his forehand follow-up to knock his opponent off guard. While Soderling’s earlier adversaries, including Nadal, had to a certain extent played into his hands by trying to outhit the Swede in hard-hitting baseline exchanges. Roger was not about to fall into the same trap. Making full use of his superb drop shot, tricky slice and mid-court angles, he moved the Swede forward and back almost at will.

Stormy weather

The first set was over in the blink of an eye, 6-1, wrapped up in just 23 minutes. The only thing that could knock the world No2 off his stride was the on-court intruder who briefly unsettled his concentration at 2-1 in the second set. He lost that game, and with storm clouds beginning to hover over Philippe Chatrier court, the momentum gradually began to shift. Little by little, Soderling righted his ship, steadying his serve and finally hitting the booming forehands that had proved so devastating earlier over the previous fortnight.

The rain gained in intensity through the middle games of the second set, and with a delay looking more of a possibility, both players looked for the break that would give them a huge psychological advantage to take into the locker room. The drizzle eased off however, and Federer’s serve kept him out of trouble heading into the match-shaping tie-break.

Brilliant tie-break

The No2 seed then seized the moment to demonstrate why he is, for so many, the greatest player of all time. He banged down four aces no less, a forehand winner and a magnificent drop shot en route to a 7-1 success that earned him a two-set lead and definitively turned the match in his favour.

In a hangover from the tie-break, Soderling immediately dropped his serve in the next game â€" a crucial moment as the No23 seed actually looked the more dangerous player as the third set wore on. On the few occasions that he drew Federer into a long rally, Soderling would invariably pull out a winner, but the Swiss refused to be distracted from his game plan, throwing Soderling off his rhythm with kicking second serves when his first service began to falter and sending passing shots down the line whenever the Swede came to the net.

The Swede earned his first break point of the match at 1-3 and then again had a chance to break back at 4-5, 30-40 when Federer was serving for the match. Had he taken either of those two points, the outcome of the match may have been very different.

Fitting denouement

As it was, the end was what most neutrals had been hoping for, and suitably moving. Soderling mishit on break point to take us to deuce, Federer then coolly dispatched a volley to take himself to championship point, and a big serve was enough, as Soderling netted. Federer fell to his knees, the crowd rose to their feet and the thunder rumbled overhead…

Looking Back
Why Rizal’s house turned green

By Ambeth Ocampo
Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 01:19:00 06/03/2009

Finally, the reason for painting Rizal’s house green highlights and informs visitors of the meaning of his surname. Following the 1849 Claveria decree giving surnames to Filipinos for tax and census purposes, the Rizals who were also known by their other surname Mercado (market) chose “Risal” from the “Catalogo alfabetico de apellidos.” The word comes from the Spanish “ricial” which describes a green field ready for harvest. It was hoped that after asking, “Why is Rizal’s house green?” the visitor will get a relevant answer: the green hues are meant to honor the memory of the Rizal family and their way of life.

My only regret is that despite our repeated instructions to find a green the color of palay or ripe rice stalk, the NHI historical preservation division didn’t take the initiative to have paint mixed specially for the Rizal Shrine and depended on the offensive, commercially available green paint. Nevertheless, it is hoped that the educational purpose of the new coat of paint far outweighs personal preferences.

Haha, you know i noticed that alot of white guys that I hang out with tend to have a 'thing' for Asian girls. I joke with them--saying they have the 'Yellow Fever'. We laugh, we chuckle over it. But i think there is something to the foreign beauty that draws natural/innate attraction. Well for me--that is. I don't know about you guys/gentlemen, perhaps you feel the same way, perhaps not.


For me, something about a woman having red or blonde hair captivates my interest. It's just so 'foreign'. Its attractive. Even the girls that ive dated in the past--just seeing their green or blue eyes--i know its just a genetic recessive trait, but the fact that its so recessive makes it so attractive. For me--that is. You might feel the same way, or not, whatever.


So when I look and analyze it in perspective; white men's interest and attraction to Asian women is understandable. The Asian woman's black silky hair, tan to yellow skin tone and almond curved eyes attracts them. Because its so foreign. Foreign in a beautiful way.


And if we look at it in genetic and scientific perspective; its actually better.
The more you mix, the less likely chance you get genetic isolation.
And plus, when you intermingle with 2 races; you take the best of each race and produce a hybrid--that has the strengths of 2 races. Seen in the offspring.

maybe because i have black hair and brown complexion, that's why i love blonde and white-skinned women. just my thought.

Awesome Soderling Demolishes Davydenko
Tuesday, June 2, 2009
By David Tutton and Andrew Lilley

Robin Soderling put in a magnificent performance to destroy No10 seed Nikolay Davydenko 6-1 6-3 6-1 and secure a spot in the semi-final of a Grand Slam for the first time in his career.

Anyone who thought that the Swede’s shock win over Rafael Nadal was a one-off should think again. Lest we forget, the No23 seed had already removed the dangerous David Ferrer in the third round before the historic upset of the four-time champion. In Tuesday’s quarter-final, he established himself as a real contender for the title by humbling his Russian opponent.

Soderling was understandably upbeat after the match: "Yeah, you know, I think I didn't have a very easy draw. I played three very good clay court players and I played three very good matches, so of course my confidence is getting better and better."

Stunning hitting

Soderling was handsomely rewarded for his high-risk, aggressive and powerful play against a man he had defeated both times in their two previous meetings on clay, at Monte Carlo in 2006 and 2007. Targeting the corners at every opportunity, hitting long and true throughout, the Swede simply did not give Davydenko a look in, except perhaps in the first game of the match, when the Russian failed to capitalise on two break points. Soderling dealt with those in much the same way as he did virtually every point thereafter, by going for his shots.

"I was a little bit lucky in the beginning. I saved two break points in the first game and I broke him straightaway. So instead of maybe being down 2 0 I was up 2 0, and then I think from then I played very well," said the Swede.

A few stats reveal the extent of the damage. Davydenko only won five games all match. Soderling hit 34 winners to Davydenko’s 15 and incredibly committed more unforced errors â€" 28 to 25. He who dares wins: Soderling grasped the nettle and the rewards reaped from his high percentage tennis meant that the naturally more cautious Russian was on the back foot throughout the contest.

Quickfire Swede

Before Daydenko knew it, he had lost the first set 6-1 in just 23 minutes. He was already reeling, but gathered himself at the start of the second to emerge from his baseline shell and fight fire with fire. The result was some breathtaking tennis as the two traded blows, back and forth, until Davydenko cracked at 3-3, hitting two unforced errors to lose his serve. From thereon in, there was simply no coming back.

Soderling maintained his depth and his accuracy, leaving Davydenko chasing shadows and shaking his head in impotent frustration. By the end, the No10 seed - celebrating his 28th birthday on the day of the match â€" was an utterly beaten man, having never looked likely to reach the semi-finals here for the third time in five years.

Soderling, meanwhile, was keeping things in perspective: "If you'd ask me like four years ago, I'd say I will never reach a semis in Paris. But for every year, I think I started to play better and better on clay. Actually, I like to play on all surface. There's no surface that I don't like. Maybe so far I had my best results indoors, but then I think clay is my next best surface, actually."

Nadal’s nemesis cannot be overlooked as a potential French Open champion now. He has been quite simply unplayable for much of the tournament so far, and if he is able to maintain this level of form, he will go all the way. What remains to be seen is whether the ultra-confident 24-year-old can keep on playing dream tennis on the greatest clay court stage in the world…



Murray No Match For Fiery Gonzalez
Tuesday, June 2, 2009
By Andrew Lilley

Fernando Gonzalez blasted his way into the semi-finals of the French Open with a comprehensive win over No3 seed Andy Murray on Tuesday. The Chilean used his clay-court attacking skills honed over ten years on the circuit to power his way to a 6-3 3-6 6-0 6-4 win in two hours 15 minutes.

The match-up was always going to be an intriguing one. Murray may be the newly minted world No3 and poster boy of British tennis but his record on clay reflected his lack of savvy on this, the slowest of surfaces.

Murray had only played 37 of his 260 career matches on red brick, winning just over half of them, while Gonzalez had disputed no fewer than 212 matches on clay with a winning percentage over 70 percent â€" clear proof both of greater experience and of a genuine understanding of what it takes to win on dirt.

Gonzalez also came into the tie having not lost a set at Roland Garros this year, spending barely more than six hours on court in dispatching his four opponents. If Murray was to make the semi-finals of a Grand Slam for the second time in his career, he was going to have to be at the top of his game.

For the first half an hour, the Scotsman held his own, serving as wide as he could and camping well behind the baseline in an attempt to negate the Chilean’s all-out attacking brand of tennis. At 3-4 on Murray’s serve however, Gonzalez took almost every backhand as an inside-out forehand â€" a high-risk strategy but one which worked as he carved out a break point. He then changed his tack, luring Murray into a sliced backhand rally before passing him as he came into the net in two minds.

Murray saved three set points as the Chilean had a brief attack of nerves but the No12 seed soon pocketed the opener 6-3. The second set followed the same pattern as the first, but this time it was 28-year-old Gonzalez seed who blinked first, handing Murray three break points in the sixth game and, after saving them with some big serves, fluffing two forehands to surrender the crucial break.

One set all therefore â€" had Murray weathered the storm? Would Gonzalez be forced to play more cagily? Not a bit of it. The third set saw Murray blown off court 6-0 as Gonzalez hit a raft of forehand winners â€" 24 of them from the baseline alone throughout the match â€" and then deciding to dust off his slice, drop and cross-court play as he took the set on a wave of confidence. Murray had no answer to this combination of power and variation, his tennis looking terribly one-dimensional in comparison.

The Chilean broke in the fourth to lead 5-3 but there was to be one last throw of the dice for Murray, with Gonzalez again having an attack of nerves. Murray hauled himself back into contention at 4-5, but a fifth set would have been more than he deserved. The Chilean promptly broke to love, fittingly on the back of yet more pin-point inside-out forehands, and will face Robin Soderling in a semi-final that promises to be a match full of fireworks between two massive hitters.

“I've got to give a lot of credit to him,” said Murray straight after the match. “I’d played against him before and he hits the ball hard, but today he was hitting it huge. If that happens, sometimes you've got to say ‘Too good’. It's quite easy sitting on the side to look and think ‘you could’ve have done this, you could have done that’ but the guy is hitting ball so hard â€" no-one's hits the ball that big.”

“At the start of the third set I had a few chances to hold serve and didn't take them, and then at the end of the match I played a poor, poor game and when I broke back, which is not like me,” rued the Scotsman. “I got myself back into the match there and played four bad points. It was a good week, a good couple of weeks though.”

It was indeed a good week or so for Murray, and now the green grass of home at Wimbledon awaits, and more importantly for him, the subsequent hard court season where he first shot to real prominence last year. He can take heart from the fact that he has increased his cushion over fourth placed Novak Djokovic in the rankings and taken further steps to becoming a better clay court player. He still has some way to go however if he is to challenge seriously for the Roland Garros title in the future.

Car Loses All Four Wheels On Highway

ZURICH (Reuters) - A car traveling on a motorway in Switzerland lost all four wheels simultaneously, coming to an immediate halt in the middle of the highway, police said on Saturday.

The car had just stopped and the passengers had changed from winter to summer wheels themselves, a common task in Switzerland where there is plenty of snow in winter, but used the wrong nuts when mounting the new set.

"When they then drove back on to the motorway, all of the wheels disconnected," St Gallen cantonal police said in a statement. "Luckily, no one was injured and no other vehicle was damaged."

Pataka man lang ni sila ug term nga "Persona non Grata". Basta maka nilatin lang para ingnon ug brayt.

Ang "Persona Non Grata" term is used exclussively for deplomatic personalities only. Like a leader of one country may not be welcomed by another country due to atrocities.

This word is wrongly used here. Why not just simply say unwanted.

Basin mahimo na pod noon ang Bol-anon nga subject of Visayan jokes which confirms Bohol as a Republic (separate country) mao nga mi gamit ug deplomatic terminology.

Also kung ang plural form of it is "personae non gratae". So ang sakto nga title ani nga article is "Hoy mga personae non gratae!".

After 101 Years, Why GM Failed
Peter Cohan

General Motors (GM) was founded in September of 1908. On June 1, 2009, at 8 a.m. -- almost 101 years later -- it ceased to exist, and control was handed over to turnaround executive Al Koch. Thanks to $19.4 billion in loans and $30.1 billion more in debtor-in-possession financing, a huge amount of effort by the U.S. government and GM's management, unions, dealers, suppliers and bondholders, the effects of that failure will be terrible, but not catastrophic.

The U.S. will own 60 percent of the new GM, which will include Chevy, Buick, GMC and Cadillac. Canada will take 12 percent after lending GM $9.5 billion, the UAW 17.5 percent (as payment for $9.4 billion of its $20 billion in health care obligations) with warrants to buy 2.5 percent more, the bondholders 10 percent to as high as 25 percent through warrants, and old GM common shareholders roughly zero. Twelve to 20 more GM factories will close, 21,000 union workers will be fired, and 2,400 GM dealers will shut down.

To help other companies avoid GM's fate, it's worth exploring the five reasons that GM failed:

1. Bad financial policies. You might be surprised to learn that GM has been bankrupt since 2006 and has avoided a filing for years thanks to the graces of the banks and bondholders. But for years it has used cars as razors to sell consumers a monthly package of razor blades -- in the form of highly profitable car loans.

And the two Harvard MBAs who drove GM to bankruptcy -- Rick Wagoner and Fritz Henderson -- both rose up from GM's finance division, rather than its vehicle design operation.

2. Uncompetitive vehicles. Compared to its toughest competitors -- like Toyota Motor Co. (TM) -- GM's cars were poorly designed and built, took too long to manufacture at costs that were too high, and as a result, fewer people bought them, leaving GM with excess production capacity.

3. Ignoring competition. GM has been ignoring competition -- with a brief interruption (Saturn in the 1980s) -- for about 50 years. At its peak, in 1954, GM controlled 54 percent of the North American vehicle market. Last year, that figure had tumbled to 19 percent. Toyota and its peers took over that market share.

4. Failure to innovate. Since GM was focused on profiting from finance, it did not really care that much about building better vehicles. GM's management failed to adapt GM to changes in customer needs, upstart competitors, and new technologies.

5. Managing in the bubble. GM managers got promoted by toeing the CEO's line and ignoring external changes. What looked stupid from the perspective of customer and competitors was smart for those bucking for promotions.

GM's failure after 101 years is an indictment of American management in general. It highlights the damage to our economy that results when finance becomes the tail that wags the economic dog. And it shows what happens to any company that rests on its laurels and fails to adapt to change.

Air France: Missing plane probably crashed into Atlantic

PARIS, France (CNN) -- The jet carrying 228 people from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, that disappeared overnight as it entered an area of strong turbulence probably crashed into the Atlantic Ocean, the CEO of Air France said Monday.

The first three hours of what was to have been an 11-hour flight appear to have been uneventful, CEO Pierre-Henri Gourgeon said.

But about 4:15 a.m. Paris time, Flight 447's automatic system began a four-minute exchange of messages to the company's maintenance computers, indicating that "several pieces of aircraft equipment were at fault or had broken down," he said.

"This succession of messages signals a totally unforeseeable, great difficulty," he said. "Something quite new within the plane."

During that time, there was no contact with the crew, Gourgeon said.

"It was probable that it was a little bit after those messages that the impact of the plane took place in the Atlantic," he added.

He said the Airbus A330 was probably closer to Brazil than to Africa when it crashed.

He noted that turbulence made flying "difficult" in the area but that it is "too early to say" exactly what happened.

The chances of finding any survivors from were "very low," French President Nicolas Sarkozy admitted Monday.

"This is a catastrophe the likes of which Air France has never seen before," he said at Charles de Gaulle International Airport, where he met with relatives of the missing.

"I said the truth to them: The prospects of finding survivors are very low," he said.

Asked the nationalities of those aboard, he said most of them were Brazilians but added, "that changes nothing, of course. They're victims. It doesn't matter about their nationality."

The airline company identified the nationalities of the victims as two Americans, an Argentinean, an Austrian, a Belgian, 58 Brazilians, five British, a Canadian, nine Chinese, a Croatian, a Dane, a Dutch, an Estonian, a Filipino, 61 French, a Gambian, 26 Germans, four Hungarians, three Irish, one Icelandic, nine Italians, five Lebanese, two Moroccans, three Norwegians, two Polish, one Romanian, one Russian, three Slovakian, two Spanish, one Swedish, six Swiss and one Turk.

Sarkozy said French authorities had sent ships and planes to the area about 400 kilometers from Brazil. "Our Spanish friends are helping us; Brazilians are helping us a lot as well."

He added that authorities were seeking the help of satellites that might be able to pick up signs of what happened to the 4-year-old Airbus 330.

No possibility was being excluded: Turbulence in the area was strong, but other planes were able to pass through it without incident, he said.

The plane had reported a problem with the electrical system, "but the specialists refuse for the moment to express themselves about any possibility," Sarkozy said.

The jet had also sent out a warning that it had lost pressure, the Brazilian air force said. Video Watch aviation expert describe possible scenarios.

It lost contact with air traffic control between Galeao International Airport in Rio de Janeiro and Charles de Gaulle International Airport in Paris, the airline said Monday.

The Airbus A330 sent out an automatic signal warning of the electrical problems just after 2 a.m. GMT Monday as it flew "far from the coast," said an Air France spokeswoman who declined to be identified. It had just entered a stormy area with strong turbulence, she said.

The jet was flying at an altitude of 35,000 feet and a speed of 521 mph, the air force said.

Among the passengers were 126 men, 82 women, seven children and a baby, in addition to the 12 crew members, Air France officials in Brazil said.

Much of the route is out of radar contact, Brazilian air force Col. Henry Munhoz told TV Globo.

Brazil's air force launched a search near the archipelago of Fernando de Noronha in the Atlantic Ocean, 365 km (226 miles) from Brazil's coast, a spokesman for the air force said.

Two Brazilian squadrons are searching for the plane, although it disappeared after it left the country's radar space, said the officer, who declined to be identified.

The flight, AF 447, took off from Galeao International Airport at 11:30 p.m. Sunday GMT. It was scheduled to land in Paris at 9:10 a.m. GMT.

Its last known contact occurred at 2:33 a.m. GMT, the Brazilian air force spokesman said.

It was expected to check in with air traffic controllers at 3:20 a.m. GMT but did not do so, the Brazilian air force said in a statement.

Brazilian authorities asked the air force to launch a search mission just over three hours later, at 6:30 a.m. GMT, the statement said.

The plane reported no problems before takeoff, Joao Assuncao, Air France's manager in Brazil, told the country's Record TV.

The French ambassador to Senegal told BFMTV that French military aircraft had been dispatched to search around Cape Vert, or Green Cape, off the coast of the west African country.

The airline set up a crisis center at the Paris airport. It listed numbers for families to call: 0 800 800 812 for people in France and 00 33 1 57 02 10 55 for families outside France.

At a crisis center at the airport in Rio, relatives of the missing complained of a dearth of information from Air France, the Brazilian state news agency reported.

One man, who identified himself as Bernardo, said his brother, Romeo Amorim Souza, and his wife were on the missing flight.

"I came to the airport because I wasn't finding information, and my parents are very nervous," he told Agencia Brasil.

The missing A330 last underwent a maintenance check on April 16, the airline said.

CNN air travel expert Richard Quest said the twin-engine plane, a stalwart of transatlantic routes, had an impeccable safety record, with only one fatal incident involving a training flight in 1994.

"It has very good range and is extremely popular with airlines because of its versatility," he said.

Its crew was composed of three pilots and nine cabin crew members, including a captain who has logged 11,000 hours in flight. About 1,700 of those hours were on the A330 and A340. Of the two co-pilots, one has 3,000 hours of flying experience and the other 6,600 hours. The aircraft has flown 18,870 hours.

The model is "capable of communicating in several different ways over quite long distances even if they are out of radar coverage," said Kieran Daly of the online aviation news service Air Transport Intelligence.

The French Accident Investigation Bureau for civil aviation is investigating, the company said in a statement.
