Five Things to Know for Your New Day – Friday, April 25
A narrowed underwater search for the Malaysian jetliner nears its end. There's another good reason to drink more coffee. And Russia and Ukraine are at it again.
It's Friday, and here are the 5 things to know for your "New Day."
1. MISSING PLANE
What's next? As an underwater sonar device plunged into the Indian Ocean for its 13th mission today, authorities are focusing on what to do if its search comes up empty. That outcome seems likely. The Bluefin-21 has slowly scoured 95% of the ocean floor searchers narrowed down for it and has found no trace of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. But the Malaysian Prime Minister says he's not declaring the 239 people aboard dead yet.
2. SOUTH KOREAN FERRY
More problems: A sister ship of the sunken South Korean ferry also has multiple safety concerns, investigators said. The prosecutor leading the investigation of the ship sinking said authorities are looking at a passenger ferry belonging to the same company that owns the Sewol, which went down last week with 476 people on board.

5. COFFEE BENEFITS
More shots, less illness? Don't just drink coffee, drink more coffee! As if we needed another reason to down more shots of espresso. A new study suggests people who increased their coffee drinking lowered their risk of type 2 diabetes. Though the relationship between coffee and type 2 diabetes is nothing new, this latest one boosts the benefits.

One of the first things I learned as a firefighter was to always have someone foot your ladder
Poor Clive. First he gets hassled over his cattle, then his antique view of slavery comes under fire. A guy can't win. Besides, nobody answered his question – he's noticing the porch monkey (who can be white), and wondering if assigning employment is a solution.
