Two Brazilian helicopters, each able to carry up to eight bodies, took off earlier to rendezvous with the Brazilian navy ship carrying the 24 bodies that have been recovered so far.
Air France 447 crashed in the Atlantic Ocean last week en route from Rio de Janeiro in Brazil to Paris, France, with 228 passengers and crew on board. It was the deadliest plane crash ever for Air France.
The cause of the crash is not yet known, but investigators are looking at the role of airspeed sensors known as pitot tubes, among other factors.

Thai Rath is the oldest Thai Tabloid published in Bangkok and distributed in Thailand, claiming a circulation in excess of 1 million copies daily. Thai Rath got popular worldwide by publishing Crime Scene Photo of David Carradine’s Death.
The shocking published photo shows Carradine with his hands tied in front of him, hanging from the support bar in a closet. Discoloration of the skin on the lower extremities indicates he had been dead for hours before being found, according to people familiar with the situation.
I saw one site who had the photo of the Thai Rath Newpaper with the David Carradine on it.

Tips for Newbies on How to Drive Traffic to their Sites
Hmmm… I was really excited about making a new blog again, a technology blog. There are a lot of things running on my mind, like if I will still use my former blog name which is still in wordpress.com and un-updated for almost two months. Going to buy a domain but still have second thoughts on my desired domain name, which theme will I use, what would be my first post… hahaha… Anyways, I was checking at Godaddy when suddenly our internet connection got lost. Tried to reconnect for how many times but to no avail…
So, I decided to take a rest for a while and get some sleep, but then I couldn’t, I just lay down on my bed and kept on thinking… Thinking of making a blog post about our little blogger meet-up with Avel and the other Davao Bloggers at Kangaroo just a while ago. Then suddenly an idea popped into my head and that idea is this… hehehe… I think you’re wondering why I’m talking about making a tech blog when my title says otherwise. Well, I just wanted to share with you how did I come up with this post, hehehe… Well, enough of my so-called introduction, let’s proceed with the tips now.
Tip No. 1: Build a Sitemap.
What is a Sitemap? Why would I add one? Here are the benefits of having a Sitemap. Having a Sitemap is important if you’re site is still new, it helps your site to be visible to search engines. So, How and Where can I submit a Sitemap? Go to Google’s Webmaster Tools and follow the steps on the link I’ve provided. 
Tip No. 2: Register or Add your blogs to Directories with high PageRank.
There are lots of free directories around where you can start adding your blog to. So, why would I add my blog site to those directories? If you want your site to be indexed by search engines in less than 24 hours you have to have your site linked to websites with a PR of 6 or higher. If one PR 5 site linked to you, your site will be indexed in less than 3 days. If a site with a high PR links to your site your chance of having a PR too is at high rate (correct me if I’m wrong, hehe). So, if you haven’t added your blogs to directories yet, start adding your blogsites to those free directories with high PageRank.
Tip No.3: Add your posts to Social Bookmarking Sites.
There are lots of Social Bookmarking Sites to choose from, famous ones are DiggDigg, Stumbleupon, Delicous, and etc. Why add my site to Social Bookmarking sites? Well, Social Bookmarking sites is one way of getting backlinks to your site, and the more posts you add, the better your chances of getting visible to search engines. It’s FREE and one can easily register an account there. Start adding your posts to those Social Bookmarking Sites now.
Tip No. 4: Socialize.
Again there are a lot of Social Networking sites online, Facebook and Friendster are just among the famous ones, you can invite your friends there to visit your blog or any of your blog posts. No one would realize your blog exists if you don’t let the world know about it. You can also try to join microblogging sites like Twitter and Plurk. Try to join communities and forums and interact with fellow bloggers in the same niche as your blog.
When I was still new to blogging I joined Bisdakplanet.net, an online community for Bisaya (a language mostly used by people from Visayas and Mindanao) all around the world. I’ve met a lot of friends there who later on became my regular visitors. There’s also one thing that I liked about them, whenever there are new registered members, they always make a post, greeting and welcoming everyone in the community, and of course, there’s a link back to your site too. 
If people would visit your blog and make a comment, be kind enough to drop by their site too. That way, you’re making a connection with them, and who knows, one day they will feature you on their site or be one of your avid visitors. Join Blogging meet-ups or whatever blogging events or parties there are in your area. You will not just gain friends, you can also learn from each other’s ideas and blogging experiences.
Tip No. 5: Drop or Advertise your Site on Entrecard.
When I was new to blogging, Dropping Entrecards helped me drive traffic to my lonely blog. If you drop on other blog sites that have an Entrecard, they will also visit your blog and drop back. Well, Entrecard did not just help me drive traffic to my site, I was able to gain a few online friends who became my regular visitors too. I also get to learn some tips from them which I, later on, applied on my blog.
Advertising in EC through your Entrecredits (credits you earned by dropping EC on other blogs) works well for me but just for a while, later on, people don’t mind clicking on your banner, they were just after the ‘Drop’ button. Hence, you can still try though, maybe what didn’t work for me might work well with you. By the way, you can sign-up for Entrcard’s CashOut program where you can exchange your Entrecredits for Cash, 1,000 entrecredits is equals to $1.00. I have been saving my credits while waiting for my account to be approved on the CashOut program and I am so happy that my account was approved! So, if you have EC’s, save your credits too. I already have 10k credits waiting to be cashed out. It’s fun, you’re not just driving traffic to your sites, you can also earn from dropping EC’s.
Tip No. 6: Write a Good and Quality Content.
If people like your post/s, some of them would add and share your post to social bookmarking sites, re-tweet or re-Plurk your post, and some would re-post or feature it to their blogs with a link back to your site. Then, traffic would follow…Isn’t that great?
Well, I hope you learn something from a newbie blogger too. I still consider myself a newbie here, I still have a LOT to learn and hopefully share with others what I have experienced…
Hmmm… All of the above tips I’ve mentioned requires HARD WORK! Well, as the saying goes, “You REAP what you SOW.” 
Have fun blogging everyone! Feel free to leave a comment if you think I have said something in my post which is not correct or if you have tips to share… I appreciate you leaving your comments about it…

David Carradine Found Dead
Oscar-nominated actor David Carradine, best known for his role as Kwai Chang Caine on the 1970s TV series Kung Fu, has died at age 72.
Carradine was found dead in the Thai capital, Bangkok, a spokesman for the U.S. Embassy said Thursday.
His personal manager, Chuck Binder, was quoted by People Magazine as saying that the death was "shocking and sad. He was full of life, always wanting to work ... a great person."
American actor Carradine, was in Bangkok to shoot his latest movie, Stretch, and stayed at a Suite Room 352 of the Park Nai Lert Hotel on Wireless Road since June 2.
The film crew were aware of his absence when they went to dine out at a restaurant on Sathorn Road on June 3.
Carradine did not show up at the dinner and the team could not reach him. They assumed that he took a rest because of his age.
It was a hotel's maid who opened his suite on Thursday at 10 am after her repeated calls at the door were unanswered. She found Carradine in a closet. He was described as being half naked.
Police said evidence at the scene showed that he hung himself.
"It looks like a suicide," said Pol Col Somprasong Yentuam, chief of Lumpini police. "He was a big man and it would have been difficult for someone to move him in there and kill him in there."
Police said he was dead for not less than 12 hours and found no sign of fighting, or intrusion or assaults.
Somprasong said security at the hotel was very good. American Embassy officials had also been to the scene, police sources said.

Air France Plane Missing
Airbus released this information about the missing jet:
Airbus regrets to confirm that an Airbus A330-200 operated by Air France has been lost about 3.5 hours after departure. The aircraft was operating a scheduled service, Flight AF 447, from Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) to Paris (France).
The missing aircraft involved in the accident, registered under the number F-GZCP, was MSN (Manufacturer Serial Number) 660, delivered to Air France from the production line in April 2005. The aircraft had accumulated approximately 18,800 flight hours in some 2,500 flights. It was powered by CF6-80E1 engines. At this time no further factual information is available.
In line with ICAO Annex 13 international convention, Airbus has offered full technical assistance to the investigation board. The investigation remains the entire responsibility of the relevant board and it would be inappropriate for Airbus to enter into any form of speculation into the causes of the accident.
The concerns and sympathy of the employees go to the families, friends and loved ones affected by the accident. [Source]
