The Brazilian air force says that debris picked up near where officials believe Air France Flight 447 crashed into the Atlantic Ocean was not from the plane. Officials also say that oil slicks seen on the ocean were not from the plane either and that the quantity of oil exceeded the amount the plane would have carried. CNN
With companies in no mood to hire, the unemployment rate jumped to 9.4 percent in May, the highest in more than 25 years. But layoffs eased, with employers cutting 345,000 jobs, the fewest since September. This marks the fourth straight month that the pace of layoffs slowed. The much smaller-than-expected reduction in payroll jobs, reported by the Labor Department on Friday, adds to evidence that the recession is loosening its hold on the country. Still, the increase in the nation's unemployment rate from 8.9 percent in April underscores the difficulties that America's 14.5 million unemployed are having in finding new jobs. CBS News
The body of American actor David Carradine, known for the 1970s TV series "Kung Fu" and the "Kill Bill" movies, was found yesterday in a Bangkok hotel room closet naked with a rope tied to his neck and genitals. Police initially suspected suicide but now say his death may have been accidental suffocation. Police Lt. Gen. Worapong Chewprecha told reporters that Carradine was found with a rope "tied around his penis and another rope around his neck." "The two ropes were tied together," he said. "It is unclear whether he committed suicide or not or he died of suffocation or heart failure due to an orgasm." CBS News
