is that why it's hard for us to figure it out. >> i'm so glad you said a layperson sees clouds and blobssee only clouds and blobs. and i've been doing this for 27 years. they have other filters they're looking at. this is the visual spectrum, but there are so many other spectrums to focus on. they also know the exact color that plane was painted. they can look for and focus only on that color. think about this, turn on the lights in your room and everything looks normal. then you turn on the black light you can get from spencer's back in the day, and everything looks different. they're putting different filters on these lenses to see things you and i can't see. >> i'm not optimistic about that, there are plenty of others optimistic about that, right? >> we'll talk about this polar or r orbiting satellite and how it works in a moment. >> i want to bring in bob too. bob, with your background, ex-cia, you're doing great analysis just in the foreign policy and the secrecy they have and the gear that they're using. help me to feel better about what chad just showed me. are there better images

to a layperson it seems crazy, but is it only because that's all they've got? >> you know, malaysia said this is the best piece of evidence we have. unfortunately that doesn't mean anything. what that means to me is they have no other evidence. that's concerning and disturbing to me, however i don't want to take away this is part of that aircraft. we have the most advanced aircraft possible designed to find and locate even small submarines, search and destroy small submarines. the old sarz aircraft you used to see -- >> that's for when you know where you're searching. at this point these are four-day-old photographs. how can they extrapolate from every possible other problem that could lend itself to thwarting this effort, how fast can they get that information down before actually searching the right area? >> remember where we got this information in the first place where to search was from the ntsb and faa calculating currents and fuel and that location and then from the currents and wind drift. >> so we're there. we're at the extrapolated location? >> absolu

waynn but it's really hard from the per spicktive of a layperson to hear the battle of the experts and be able to determine who is right and what is the proper way to move forward. ~ perspective i just think i have a lot of questions and a lot of that happens from the fact that i don't have the expertise to really understand, you know, who is correct in their assessment of whether [speaker not understood] the endangered species here. so, given where we are today with the evidence that is before us, i also will be voting against the affirmation. but i did want to appreciate the thought that went into this on both sides. it just seems like there are a number of questions and further examination does actually seem warranted in this case. largely, i'd like to support the work that we do around negative declarations and exemptions because i think sometimes we over -- we're overly cautious when we do environmental review. this seems to be one of the few cases where actually environmental review might actually be warranted and, so, just given what's before us today, i will also not be support

>> it's a great question that there is no way the layperson without any training can get up there and do. this especially turning off the transponder, let alone just finding the transponder n. all of the instrument banks, et cetera. then he would have to have some rudimentary radar in existence and operational in the various countries. highly involved. very systematic take place here to conduct this. >> jesse, how about you? if i gave you a couple months. six months. radar in that region? >> it were first of all you have to realize that once they turn out over the water, once you get 200 to 300 miles offshore, there is no radar. airplanes are not typically under radar control once they are out 200 or 300 miles over the ocean. that radar starts jent generally within 200 or 300 miles of reaching land. at that point the land based radar picks up up. once you are out over the water there is no radar. typically any radar system is as good as the equipment, which many times in these countries equipment is not as sophisticated as it is in the united states. and the radar controller. and any

>> layperson's response, yes. there are three things to think about here. the location, the sheer numbers and similarity. i assume a trash pile may have different shades and i don't see that. finally, and what i see are shapes, maybe i'm trying to see it, are aerodynamic pieces that could be the fuselage or horizontal stabilizer. so i think this is very promising. >> it's one key thing, shape. tim, as you know, they've had to suspend the close-up searches. they look from miles above the sky from sat it look aellite and the planes in to get a closer look and they've had a difficult time with the weather. can you explain the difficulties of spotting it and then getting a ship to find the debris. >> we are fighting mother nature. and we're not only fighting mother nature, we're fighting mother nature. she has a home field advantage, it's late in the fourth quarter and she's killing us. we've got to come back. we've got to find these things. but what you're doing with these satellites, you're looking at a satellite image and then you're not being able to put a

. >> walk us through that, because as a layperson you say, how can you not have time to press a button say "mayday." >> we do know there is a very good chance the captain was at the controls. one pilot tends to be at the controls, and the pilot not flying, in this case maybe the co-pilot, made the radio call. what would be interesting to find out ahead of time is if we could determine, possibly through air traffic control tapes, if there were earlier radio calls made. i would be very, very interested to know if we heard the captain's voice at all once they took off. the captain would be on the radio on the ground. but if the captain was on the air when they were flying from kuala lumpur to beijing and suddenly we hear that last call from the co-pilot, there is a very good chance that would mean there was an in-flight problem or emergency. in something like that in a crisis, what a captain might say is, you have the airplane, i'm going to work the problem, and you have the radios. so i would really like to hear those air traffic control tapes and see if possibly the captain had been on

>> the acar system for a layperson, this is a maintenance system onboard most of the boeing flights. it offered an upgraded system, but the basic system pulses out kind of an overall picture on the health of the aircraft about every half an hour. in this particular case, the "new york times" was reporting that this was shut down, if you will, and then also in the pilot control panel, what was programmed into that was a flight change. sort of a code, if you will, indicating that it was moving along that flight path. i have spoken to someone who is familiar with the investigation today who seems to raise questions about that data, saying that that kind of hard turn is something that is not easy to do on auto pilot, which is how it would go if you were programming that data into the console. they said it seemed more consistent with making a manual turn with the aircraft. >> how do we know specifically it was in fact changed? >> the computer coding, is that what you're saying into the console? >> yes. >> that's based on the "new york times" sourcing that this would have been programmed a

. >> as an investigator and somebody who knows much more about this than just a layperson, is it also important to couple that information with seeing these objects with the fact this is the range in which the fuel may have run out? >> exactly. the immarsat satellite analysis that the engineers and mathematicians did put the aircraft in this area, that this area is consistent with the range the aircraft would have had with the fuel. now that we're finding these large object fields, it's all starting to perhaps come together. >> what do you make of the report that was in "usa today," a high-level source apparently saying it looks as if the only person after scrubbing all the identities of the passengers and crew, the only person who may have been responsible for whatever happened to this plane was the pilot? >> well, it's again a little too hard to call at this point. there are two pilots in the cockpit, the captain and the first officer. it would have to be a very strange and complex set of events that may allow that to happen. the thing that has been strange, typically with aircraft

first of all, there are three things effectively right now that are in the layperson's it terms, makingking themselves known. somewhere out there. whether it's land or sea. that is the emergency locater transmitter in the tail. >> correct. >> that is the epirb, on the rafts. and then, of course -- we like to call them the old fashioned name, black boxes, cockpit voice recorder. give me a breakdown on those other two transmitters and battery life left on the black boxes. >> well, the elt and the epirbs are short-term, 24 to 48 hours. once they touch water they start sending a signal for only 24 to 48 hours. >> so what was in the tail and what was on those life rafts is done. >> correct. however, if that had happened, if they did get water in them, there's 16 satellites constantly monitoring that frequency. so that's what brings in some puzzling -- >> and they're getting nothing. >> they got nothing. >> water is one trigger. les, i thought the other trigger was actually impact. so we know one thing. this plane is not flying 12 days later. it's on the ground somewhere or in the water somew

. >> one thing i always think as a layperson is to try to put yourself in someone else's shoes.not easy to do in the case of putin. he's a strange guy. enigmatic guy. but the russian base in crimea. it's hugely strategically important. we talked about this last night. it's the only year round ice freeport russia has, which was once a great world power. if america had a base in a neighboring country that used to be part of the united states and there was a threat, the government in that country was toppled, wouldn't the united states be in there if that was our only ice-freeport? >> no, i don't think we invade that country like that, no. i think we use all the means of persuasion and we would be trying to charm them and offering them agreements. all that was done. this is entirely different. there was no reason for him to launch out with those forces. the idea that the russian citizens were in danger, that was a pretext. it was an excuse. >> right. >> this is in the military we call it a probing attack. >> but is it an invasionings? the la times reporting, john brennan said there

i'm a layperson. i don't trade. near the trade is. >> thank you. >> anyway. resume.s or buy now? >> i want to stay near this trade, too. generally speaking, your first loss is your best loss. assuming you've had this for a while. i'm going to approach it from that area. here, i actually would buy some more of this vale, for a pop. once you get a pop, you have to sell it. you have to take your profits. even if it's a loss. if it's less of a loss than you would have had, i think you buy some vale here. >> make fun of me, grasso. >> i didn't make fun of you. this is unbelievable, how many things he's buying. >> i just buy, buy, buy. buy everything. >> crazy. nutso. >> that's going to be played about 400 times. >>> what's your opinion on apac apache? >> if you think that oil is trending lower, if nat gas is going to be buying lower, that time has passed if that's your premi premise. you want to buy refiners. that seems long in the tooth for me. i say energy across the board. >> tonight on "mad money," jim has a special show from inside an oil rig off the coast of louisia

there have been dribs and drabs of what seems to the layperson critical information coming out much later than programs it should have. and it makes me wonder, am i going to hear something new tomorrow from another nation? or perhaps a week or a year from now? and why on earth would that be? >> well, unfortunately, i think you're correct. i mean, this may dribble out over some time until we have the final evidence. what it does mean, i think, is that a couple of scenario investigations are probably going to accelerate now. that's not only the focus on what we know about the aircraft and the people aboard, but also on the cargo loads going back to checking was it possible that somebody smuggled something on board that shouldn't have been. is it possible somehow perhaps that there was a stowaway on board this aircraft. but also i think looking ahead, we're going to be looking at annian investigative component, looking for is there possible connection to information on the ground. in other words, is there indications that members of an extremist group somewhere might have been waiting or pre

. >> joe, the discrepancy, look, i'm a layperson in all of this. i tend to think there is good communication when there is something of this magnitude. and i only wonder if they have information they're not sharing or if there is any benefit to not sharing this. >> parsing the statement from the interpol executive very carefully, he really does seem to be saying the same thing as the cia. he seems to be suggesting that terrorism has not been completely ruled out, and that while we have a search, until we get something conclusive, they're going to continue looking on all fronts, ashleigh. >> all right. joe johns, live for us in washington, d.c. and, again, these developments just happening. so joe, keep us posted if there is anything more that the cia director says, as well. >>> this area that's being searched has certainly grown since yesterday. and even if the teams knew exactly where the wide-body jet went down, the telltale signs would certainly be traveling with the currents, especially after all of this time. cnn's saima moshin spent her day a

if you could help the layperson understand the significance of this. because up until now -- >> sure. . when we -- we're learning about a lot of systems for the first time. and effectively, people were making decisions based on these very technical issues. and it sounds like now everybody presuming that the pilots had something more to do with this than they thought before might actually now be reversed. is that the takeaway here? >> well, that appears to be the way most people are thinking. i need to point out on the acars system, there is actually two parts to that system. and they can be separated,iteslated. if the acars transmission system is separate, which is called the s.a.t. com and also used as vhf. what we're talking about here are the pings or last transmission attempting to connect rather than the acars system. the s.a.t. com is the communication mechanism to the satellite. but the acars data is stored on the acars system and transmitted through the s.a.t. com so it's possible there is a separate way to turn off the acars without disarming

can you give me a bit of a layperson's guide as to the 777 and -- i'm not going to say the air worthiness it wouldn't be in the air if it weren't air worthy, but of all the planes that one can fly, where does that one rate? >> say that again? >> the safety of the 777 -- can you hear me okay? >> yes. now i can. >> okay. great. i just wanted you to rate the 777 in terms of safety with respect to all other kinds of aircraft that people fly. >> it's one of the best in the world. >> it's that simple? it is really one of the best in the world. so this must come as even more of a surprise than say any other kind of crash that might involve aircraft. suspect in your view? >> yes. i mean, when this airplane was built in the middle '90s, it used the very latest technology. and they went to lengths to ensure it would be very reliable. they wanted to have two engines in operation right from day one. so they built in many redundancies in the system. it was built with the latest material and latest design standards. and this really has proven to be the most reliable airplane that there is. -- most rece

. >> is an a layperson, miles, what i'm saying is, it would seem to me if you have a failed log on, itn't a human, that would essentially if you could locate it, isn't that the same thing as saying that's where the plane would have gone down? >> i think there's a good chance of that. one of the potential explanations that have is that as the plane runs out of gas, runs out of fuel, both engines don't quit at the same time. one will quit and then the other one will quit. if there were a scenario where the -- what happens, of course, when you lose one engine is the electrical bus distribution changes. generating system changes. that could have caused some sort of electrical spike which could have caused this device to try to wake up and check in and perhaps by the time the, you know, the return handshake were to occur, it was unable to do so. i'm getting beyond my technical capabilities here. but the fact is, something drastic obviously happened there. was it impact, was it sea water impinging upon the device itself or was it the flameout of one engine which might have caused this so-cal

want you to tell me, first of all, for those pilots who went out to this new zone, there a lot the layperson what their job is like. it's not just flying. you're flying low and dangerous, and there's a lost monotony to it that you have to train to overcome. >> yeah, it's a dangerous combination. if you're down low and get bored, the ground water in this case is just a few feet away. so we're going very fast. the ground, which -- in this case, the water and the sky are a similar color, difficult to distinguish the horizon. typically pilots will fly with a little nose-up, the airplane will climb rather than descend, because descending could be disastrous. >> do you have people -- i hate to say prodding you, like someone falling asleep at the wheel driving a long time, but there are similarities. >> there are similarities. this is a large plane with a large crew. when i was doing it, it was myself or one other person. but pilots do the strangest things. primarily use pain to keep yourself alert. so a lot of times you'll sit uncomfortably. i used to put a pencil between my fingers and squeeze it

. >> can you just explain in layperson's terms? what math did he do with the existing data that led us to the arc, to the spot where we suggest this happened? >> we're going to show some diagrams in a second. i need the help of our guests here, if i may. give me -- you are the satellite. and you are the ground station. this is the plane. join in at any point when you've got something to add to this. the plane is flying along, and the satellite is attempting to communicate with the plane, correct? >> yeah, so it's using, ashleigh, continuous wave. it's a micro wave. and it's a doppler shift microwa microwave. and that allows it to ticket not just location -- >> imagine if it were a slinky and you were holding one part and richard had the other side of the slinky and you're getting closer. the slinky is bunching up. >> this is the diagram we'll show in a second. closer and closer, the time it takes for the information to get there gets less. it's exactly like a car, a train as it guess fast. and what he have this it they have done, t

every layperson knows you cannot survive on that in 2014 in this country. think there's also, you know, there's a good conservative argument that needs to be made that when we have a higher minimum wage, that's less people on food stamps, less people on welfare, all those things republicans don't like. that needs to be brought up, the basic math and living standards again and again and again. >> jackie, particularly this message is geared towards women, which is a key part of the 2014 strategy. i want to play a little sound for you from vice president biden who stepped in and did the weekly address this week. >> right now women make up more than half of the workers who would benefit from increasing the minimum wage. folks, a low minimum wage is one of the reasons why women in america make only 77 cents on a dollar that every man makes. but by raising the minimum wage, we can close that gap by 5%. and it matters. it matters to a lot of hard-working families, particularly moms raising families on the minimum wage. >> so jackie, i think we're going to hear a l

layperson that just means a lot of volatility. quadruple witching is even more volatility.e a mock three or do you still use the gillette sensor? gives you ae mach 3 better shave because it has more blades. >> glad we learned that. time to look at the stories we are tracking ahead of monday's open. we are always happy to have jeff with us. i'm going to be talking about walmart. blame it on the weather or try to take advantage of it. walmart is having a weeklong sale of the 260% off outdoor items like lawnmowers and bags of mulch. restorelooking to patios and gardens battered by the severe winter weather. they do not usually discount merchandise or early embassies and although we have seen home depot and lowe's do this type of thing. this is not clearance stuff. this is new stuff they are bringing in that they are trying to get people excited about. people in the stores will buy other stuff and give them a boost after this hard, long winter. >> the bad news is you have to pay to store this stuff. >> it depends on where you are. >> in south dakota we still have snow. >> in so

that is the fear when you have a jury trial, how a layperson will interpret something they shouldn'ten. jenna: keisha, some of the evidence that could be presented or found was new information to us today. one of them when he came to the bathroom door and came to the bathroom where reeva steenkamp was shot, that the window inside the bathroom was wide open. and our producer inside the courtroom says this really opens up to questions about whether or not, if reeva steenkamp was screaming, the neighbors could have heard her scream or was she trying to escape? how damaging do you think that is, to know that the window was wide open? >> i think we have to look at different things as to what the temperature was where they were at this time but it can be damaging if i was the defense i would argue there's a possibility that, there was no intent for her to escape but there was just an issue whether the screams, it made the screams louder but i don't think it actually damages the defense at all. jenna: in addition to the window, brian, there were also some other things that we learned. that

what the layperson says is remember that you're dust and to dust you shall return.g. it's also a sign that we're all sinful. we're all imperfect, and we need to repent. it's ao season of conversion. >> it's a season that starts with this symbol. but it's a season where we've got 40 days to do something with our soul? >> that's right. i put a little plan together. we're going to put it on the screen now. it's not just giving up something. what i would suggest is you give up something and you add something. so it's not just -- i've got to give up candy. how about giving up and adding something in the three areas of what we are: mind, body and soul. in mind, what am i going to give up? maybe i'll stop watching so much trashy television. i'm going to add something positive, do something spiritual reading. how about in the body? i'm going to give up maybe sweets or i'm going to give up alcohol, this or that. and i'm going to add something, do exercise. then in the soul, this is an important one. how about giving up a bad habit? give up a bad habit of some sort and form a
