Prosecutor: White Charlotte Police Officer Panicked before
Shooting Black Man after Crash

CHARLOTTE, N.C. Both sides in the voluntary manslaughter trial of a white Charlotte police officer in the on duty shooting of a black man agree bad choices led up to the man's death as he looked for help after a car crash.

..

snip

..

Prosecutor Arden Harris said the bad choices were all made by Kerrick, who had his gun drawn and started shooting before taking any time to figure out what was going on.

..

Kerrick, 28, faces up to 11 years in prison if convicted. He was charged just hours after the September 2013 shooting, before black men died during arrests or while in custody in Ferguson, Missouri; North Charleston, South Carolina; and Baltimore, among other places, sparking a national debate on police tactics.

..

Testimony was expected to continue Tuesday. Jurors did see a photo of Ferrell face down in handcuffs in a pool of blood, but have not heard from the other officers on the scene and haven't seen the video from dashboard cameras that lawyers for both sides said will support their version of events. That video has never been shown publicly.

..

snip

..

Ferrell charged the officers. At his autopsy, Ferrell's DNA was found on Kerrick's uniform from his neck to his feet and on the slide and trigger of the officer's gun. Kerrick's DNA was under Ferrell's fingernails, Greene said.

..

But prosecutors said Ferrell, not thinking straight after the wreck, only started running because he feared for his life when one of the other officers said nothing before training the laser targets from his stun gun at his chest.

..

Ferrell fell on Kerrick after he was shot four times, not because he was attacking the officer. The eight additional shots came as Ferrell writhed and tried to crawl to escape, not as he reached for the gun, said Harris, a special deputy attorney general for the state who took over after the local district attorney said his office had a conflict trying Kerrick.

..

The other two officers at the scene did not shoot and were not charged.

..

"Who polices the police when they do wrong?" Harris asked jurors, picked in a two-week process. "You do."

..

Kerrick joined the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department in 2011 after working as an animal control officer.

..

A grand jury initially refused to indict Kerrick on the voluntary manslaughter charge in January 2014, but prosecutors sent the case back a week later because the panel was missing four members. Kerrick was then indicted.

Raging California Wildfires Drive 13,000 From Their Homes

Nearly 3,000 firefighters are battling the Rocky Fire that has burned over 60,000 acres.

LOWER LAKE, Calif. (AP) Firefighters were working aggressively to regain control after a raging Northern California fire jumped a highway that had served as a containment line for the massive blaze one of 20 wildfires burning in California.

..

Cooler weather had helped crews build a buffer Monday between the wildfire and some of the thousands of homes it threatened as it tore through drought-withered brush in Lake County that hadn't burned in years.

..

But Monday afternoon erratic wind blew hot embers north of Highway 20 ignited several fires across the highway north of the city of Clearlake.

..

"There were too many (spot fires) for us to pick up," Battalion Chief Carl Schwettmann of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection told the San Francisco Chronicle, after the stand on Highway 20. "With these drought-stricken fuels, it's just moving at an extremely high rate of speed."

..

At least two dozen homes were destroyed over the past few days, and more than 13,000 people were urged to flee.

..

The fire the largest blaze in drought-stricken California roughly tripled in size over the weekend to almost 97 square miles, generating its own winds that fanned the flames and reduced thousands of acres of manzanita shrubs and other brush to barren land in hours.

..

"There's a lot of old growth-type vegetation and four years of drought to dry it all out," said Lynne Tolmachoff, a spokeswoman for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. "It was ready to go."

..

The fire was burning in the Lower Lake area, about 100 miles north of San Francisco and 10 miles from Clear Lake, the largest freshwater lake entirely within California and a popular spot for boaters and campers. Fire officials said no homes around the lake were threatened.

..

snip

..

Numerous other wildfires in California, Washington state and Oregon took off as the effects of drought and summer heat turned the West Coast combustible. California blazes killed a firefighter last week and injured four others.

..

Crews in the Lower Lake area conducted controlled burns, setting fire to shrubs to rob the blaze of fuel and protect some of 5,500 homes threatened. The fire was burning in a rural area of grasslands and steep hills.

California Wildfires Torch 134,000 Acres -- and Counting

..

(CNN)Firefighters worked Monday in steep terrain and other rugged conditions to fight California's Rocky Fire, one of nearly two dozen wildfires that have torched more than 134,000 acres of the parched state this year, according to state fire officials.

..

That's nearly three times the state's 5-year wildfire average of 48,153 acres for this time of year, according to statistics posted by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, or Cal Fire.

..

At 60,000 acres, the Rocky Fire is the largest ongoing blaze. It's led to evacuation orders for more than 13,000 people as it feeds on drought-parched vegetation that hasn't seen fire in many years, according to Cal Fire.

..

The fire, which is in Lake, Yolo and Colusa counties northwest of Sacramento, was 12% contained, the agency said.

..

"This has been a very fast-moving wildfire, with the dry conditions and the weather not really cooperating with us over the past week," Cal Fire spokesman Daniel Berlant told CNN affiliate KCRA.

..

More than 2,900 firefighters, 285 engines, four air tankers and 19 helicopters are involved in that fight, Cal Fire says.

..

Compared with the state's top 20 deadliest fires, which have burned 100,000 acres or more of land, "this fire does not compare," spokesman Berlant told CNN.

..

But the fire is unique because of the rate it has burned. It chewed through 20,000 acres in about five hours, he said.

..

Across the state, nearly 10,000 firefighters are working on 21 fires, officials say.

..

Fires big and small

..

Cal Fire says most of the fires are more than 60% contained. But damage has been substantial in some cases. Fires in Southern California's San Bernardino County and Northern California's Alpine County have affected nearly 50,000 acres.

..

Other fires include the Frog Fire, which has burned about 4,200 acres since Thursday. Lower temperatures, higher humidity and clouds helped firefighters push containment to 20%, according to the national fire tracking website InciWeb. The Lake Fire in San Bernardino County burned more than 31,000 acres before it was contained.

As firefighters battled a massive Northern California wild land blaze threatening numerous homes, some of the 13,000 people urged to flee their residences were spending what may be just one of many nights in evacuation shelters.

..

The blaze that has charred nearly 97 square miles of brush and timber, jumped a highway Monday that had served as a containment line. Its rapid growth caught firefighters off guard and shocked residents.

..

Vicki Estrella, who has lived in the area for 22 years, stayed at a Red Cross shelter at Middletown High School along with her husband and their dog.

..

"It's amazing the way that thing spread," Estrella said. "There was smoke 300 feet in the air."

..

Cooler weather had helped crews build a buffer between the wildfire and some of the thousands of homes it threatened as it tore through drought-withered brush in Lake County that hadn't burned in years.

PARIS: Technology to drain heat-trapping CO2 from the atmosphere may slow global warming, but will not reverse climate damage to the ocean on any meaningful timescale, according to research published Monday.

..

At the same time, a second study reported, even the most aggressive timetable for reducing greenhouse-gas emissions will need a big boost from largely untested carbon removal schemes to cap warming to two degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels.

..

Above that threshold, say scientists, the risk of climate calamity rises sharply. Earth is currently on a 4 C (7.2 F) trajectory.

..

Both studies, coming months before 195 nations meet in Paris in a bid to forge a climate pact, conclude that deep, swift cuts in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are crucial.

..

Planetary-scale technical fixes -- sometimes called geo-engineering --
have often been invoked as a fallback solution in the fight against climate change.

..

snip

..

Research has shown that extracting massive quantities of CO2 from the atmosphere, through intensive reforestation programmes or carbon-scrubbing technology, would in theory help cool the planet.

..

But up to now, little was known about the long-term potential for these measures for restoring oceans rendered overly acidic after two centuries of absorbing CO2.

..

Increased acidification has already ravaged coral, and several kinds of micro-organisms essential to the ocean food chain, with impacts going all the way up to humans.

The historic California megadrought has now dragged on into its fourth year and a new study shows Republicans are the only ones who think it has nothing to do with climate change.

..

Two-thirds of Californians think global warming helped caused the drought, but 62 percent of Republicans disagree with that, according to a new study by the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute.

..

In fact, a third of Republicans, 31 percent, said the world would never see any effects from climate change.

..

The threat of global warming to the states future is a shared belief among inland and coastal residents and Californians across racial and ethnic groups. But there are persistent partisan divisions on climate change.

..

There is also an overwhelming agreement across racial groups that climate change caused Californias drought, but Republicans remain doubtful.

..

Again, two thirds of Democrats said they thought it was important for the state to pass regulations supported by Governor Jerry Brown to ease the effects of climate change and allow California to survive the drought. Only a minority of Republicans agreed.

The YouTube video titled Philadelphia Cops Beat and Tase Black Man While He Screams for His Grandma on the YouTube channel of Jasmyne Cannick is currently going viral. According to Jasmyne, who is a Los Angeles-based blogger and journalist, the video shows a level of beating upon 22-year-old Tyree Carroll that is reminiscent of another famous beating that sparked riots.

A new video out of Philadelphia shows a young Black man being severely beaten and tased by Philadelphia officers in what can only remind you of Rodney King.

Philadelphia police investigate violent arrest after video of beating emerges

Video depicts as many as 26 officers kicking and punching Tyree Carroll, 22, who was initially stopped for riding his bike the wrong way down his street

Philadelphia police have opened an internal affairs investigation into the violent arrest of a young black man, one day after video surfaced that appears to depict as many as 26 officers beating the man. Tyree Carroll, 22, was initially stopped, family members say, for riding his bicycle the wrong way on a one-way street.

..

In the video, which has been viewed more than 100,000 times since it was posted to YouTube on Wednesday, officers can be seen repeatedly punching and kicking Carroll, and beating him with nightsticks. One officer can be heard yelling tase the motherfucker; another calls Carroll a piece of shit during the altercation.

..

The young man can be heard calling out for his grandmother repeatedly during the incident. According to his family, Tyree Carroll lives with her on Locust Avenue, the same street where the arrest occurred.

..

I looked at it, and when I saw the cops beating him, I shut my mind off, Nancy Carroll told the Philadelphia Daily News.

..

The department said it is working to gather facts and identify all officers shown in the five-minute video. Witnesses counted 24 white and two black police officers plus 11 police cars at the scene, according to a description posted with the YouTube clip. So far, no officers associated with the April incident have been reassigned or taken off the street, a police spokesman said.

..

Lawyer Berto Elmore, who agreed to represent Carroll after a friend sent him the video, said he was frightened and upset by the officers conduct.

..

Arrest somebody. You dont have to beat him like that. You dont have to keep punching and punching and punching, Elmore told the Associated Press. Im at a loss. These guys get handcuffed and still get beat.

..

The Philadelphia police department has a long history of racial tension with the citys black residents, and also owns the unsavory distinction of being the only US police department to ever attempt an aerial bombing assault on its citizens. The 1985 Osage Avenue bombing of the black naturalist group Move killed 11 and destroyed 250 homes.

CENTER CITY (WPVI) --

..

Protesters rallied outside Philadelphia Police headquarters on Friday demanding the firing of the officers involved in an arrest caught on video.

..

The struggle happened in April when police stopped Tyree Carroll as part of a drug investigation in Germantown.

..

Police said he bit two of the officers and did everything possible to avoid being handcuffed.

..

But Carroll's family said he was not resisting. They say he was defending himself.

..

His grandmother Nancy joined his legal team and activists to call for his release.

..

They also want access to his medical records and a Justice Department investigation.

Philadelphia Police-Related Deaths Plunge, But is Reform Enough?

With only one killing recorded this year, brutality incidents and years of mistrust still mar the citys reputation

Last Wednesday, Devon Guisherd shot a Philadelphia Swat officer in the chest before the officer returned fire and killed the 27-year-old. Guisherd had been wanted on murder charges tied to the death of 25-year-old Megan Doto, who was struck by a stray bullet in 2014. Dotos unborn daughter also died in the incident.

..

Guisherds death marked the first time this year a person shot by an on-duty Philadelphia police officer died as a result of their injuries. A few years ago, it would have seemed impossible that seven full months could pass before the city hit this milestone. In 2012, 15 people died after being shot by Philadelphia police, according to the departments own records. In 2013, 13 people died.

..

But in 2014, this number plunged to four, and in 2015, the city is on pace for even fewer. Police commissioner Charles Ramsey, who has been with the department since 2008, attributes this dramatic reduction to better training, new policies, and a department-wide emphasis on de-escalation. Our officers come into very volatile situations, Ramsey said in an interview with the Guardian. How do you de-escalate those situations so you dont have to use not just deadly force, but force in general?

..

According to Ramsey, reality-based training, during which officers are placed into live simulations, is key. Also critical is training frequent enough that officers can react without even thinking about it, it because its just reflex, Ramsey said.

..

Ramsey, who was selected by President Obama to co-chair the presidential Task Force on 21st Century Policing earlier this year, is no stranger to overseeing this type of decline in shooting deaths. In 1998, the same year Ramsey took the top cop job in Washington DC, the Washington Post released a scathing five-part series detailing how bad training and lax investigations had left the citys metropolitan police as the deadliest major police force per resident in the 1990s.

..

Ramsey asked the Justice Department to investigate and make reform recommendations. As a result, fatal officer-involved shootings fell between 1998 and 2001, from 12 to one.

..

Those reforms seem to be standing the test of time, too. According to The Counted, the Guardians ongoing investigation on police killings in 2015, the Washington DC metropolitan police department is the only major city department nationwide not to have had a fatal officer-involved shooting this year, although a transit police officer did fatally wound a man in March.

..

But the use of deadly force isnt the only measure of a department. In Washington DC, despite the success of many of his initiatives, Ramseys tenure was marred by a series of mass arrests of protesters. In both 2000 and 2002, DC metropolitan officers improperly rounded up hundreds of anti-IMF and World Bank demonstrators, costing taxpayers over $20m in settlements.

..

In Philadelphia, Ramseys reform-minded administration seems vulnerable to decades-old mistrust between many of the citys black residents and the police mistrust recently catalyzed by the now-viral video of an April arrest of 22-year-old Tyree Carroll.

..

Carroll was initially stopped by officers for riding his bike the wrong direction on a one-way street. In the video, officers can be seen repeatedly punching and kicking Carroll, and beating him with nightsticks. One officer can be heard yelling tase the motherfucker; another calls Carroll a piece of shit during the altercation.

,

By the end of the arrest, 26 officers are present on the scene. Before the video ends, one officer appears to angrily toss Carrolls bike to the side of the road. It was later revealed that the officers who arrested Carroll were from the narcotics unit, and police said that 5.3 grams of crack cocaine were found in his possession. The incident is now under investigation by the departments internal affairs department.

Training Officers to Shoot First, and He Will Answer Questions Later

WASHINGTON The shooting looked bad. But that is when the professor is at his best. A black motorist, pulled to the side of the road for a turn-signal violation, had stuffed his hand into his pocket. The white officer yelled for him to take it out. When the driver started to comply, the officer shot him dead.

..

The driver was unarmed.

..

Taking the stand at a public inquest, William J. Lewinski, the psychology professor, explained that the officer had no choice but to act.

..

In simple terms, the district attorney in Portland, Ore., asked, if I see the gun, Im dead?

..

In simple terms, thats it, Dr. Lewinski replied.

..

When police officers shoot people under questionable circumstances, Dr. Lewinski is often there to defend their actions. Among the most influential voices on the subject, he has testified in or consulted in nearly 200 cases over the last decade or so and has helped justify countless shootings around the country.

..

His conclusions are consistent: The officer acted appropriately, even when shooting an unarmed person. Even when shooting someone in the back. Even when witness testimony, forensic evidence or video footage contradicts the officers story.

..

He has appeared as an expert witness in criminal trials, civil cases and disciplinary hearings, and before grand juries, where such testimony is given in secret and goes unchallenged. In addition, his company, the Force Science Institute, has trained tens of thousands of police officers on how to think differently about police shootings that might appear excessive.

..

A string of deadly police encounters in Ferguson, Mo.; North Charleston, S.C.; and most recently in Cincinnati, have prompted a national reconsideration of how officers use force and provoked calls for them to slow down and defuse conflicts. But the debate has also left many police officers feeling unfairly maligned and suspicious of new policies that they say could put them at risk. Dr. Lewinski says his research clearly shows that officers often cannot wait to act.

MEDFORD Stephen LeBert is a roadside bully.

..

Actually, hes worse than that. Hes a bully with a badge and a gun. And his days as a member of the Medford Police Department must be numbered. Its hard to imagine Mayor Michael J. McGlynn welcoming him back to the police force after what he did on High Street here on Sunday night.

..

LeBert is the police officer excuse me, a [expletive] Medford detective who encountered motorist Michael A. Coates in a rotary here, when a confused Coates entered the rotary the wrong way, nearly hitting the off-duty LeBert head-on, according to the officer.

..

LeBert then tailgated Coates, 25, with his high beams on, Coatess lawyer said, before the 30-year police force veteran dressed in shorts and a white T-shirt angrily confronted Coates.

..

What happened next is not exactly what they teach you at the police academy.

..

Ill put a hole right through your [expletive] head, LeBert, enraged and out of control, said during the encounter captured by Coatess dashboard camera. Pull your car over. Ill put a hole right in your [expletive] head. Ill put a hole right through your head.

..

What a great guy, just the officer youd like your wife or mother or your niece or nephew to see after theyve made a mistake behind the wheel.

Medford Mayor Michael J. McGlynn says he is shocked by the actions of a Medford police detective who was captured on camera last weekend, allegedly saying that he could put a hole in the head of a motorist.

In a statement issued Tuesday, McGlynn said he supports Medford Police Chief Leo Saccos decision to place Detective Stephen LeBert on administrative leave pending an internal affairs investigation.

The words and behavior of the officer as shown on that video go far beyond the acceptable standards of behavior of a police officer, McGlynn said in the statement. I was fully shocked and saddened by the detectives statements and his demeanor directed towards the driver.

..

LeBert was off duty at the time of the episode.

..

The motorist posted a recorded portion of the episode on YouTube shortly afterward, and it quickly drew attention around the Boston area.

..

snip

..

LeBert wore a T-shirt and shorts. There were no police markings on his pickup truck, a personal vehicle.

..

LeBert reaches into his rear pockets and a side pocket as he walks toward the car, according to the video. The driver backs away, leaving LeBert in the middle of the street, holding what the chief said appeared to be his wallet badge in his left hand.

..

LeBerts right hand is down by his side.

..

Ill put a hole right through your [expletive] head, LeBert says in the video. Pull your car over. Ill put a hole right in your [expletive] head. Ill put a hole right through your head.

..

The driver tells LeBert that he did not know he was a police officer, then he pulled over.

..

snip

..

In his statement, McGlynn said that as the mayor of Medford for 28 years, he believes the vast majority of Medford police officers carry out their duties professionally and with courtesy to the public.

..

Previously, LeBert has been admonished by superiors after he was videotaped in 2012 episode blocking the camera of a man recording as Medford police officers interacted with his brother.

..

In that video, LeBert also tells the man that his brother should lie down in front of a train to end his substance abuse problems.

Zachary Hammond Shot From Behind By A Police Officer? Yes, Lawyer Says

Autopsy results prove that 19-year-old Zachary Hammond was shot from behind by a police officer, according to the lawyer representing the family. This latest police shooting puts South Carolina on pace for the most officer-involved shootings in at least 15 years, the Associated Press reports.

..

Zachary Hammond was shot and killed by police on Sunday night during a drug sting operation. Reportedly, Hammond drove his car toward an officer in a fast food restaurant parking lot, which forced the officer to open fire on the teen. The unidentified Seneca police officer claims he feared for his life after seeing Hammond drive his car toward him.

..

According to a statement from Oconee County Coroner Karl Addis, autopsy results showed that Hammond was shot twice once in the chest and once in the collarbone. Hammonds parents were skeptical of the police departments claims that their son was shot in self-defense so they hired attorney Eric Bland. Bland also doubted the self-defense claim and has asked the state Attorney General to launch a statewide grand jury investigation into the matter. Upon examining images of the bullet wounds, Bland determined that there was no way that Hammond wasnt shot from behind.

..

It is clearly, clearly from the back, Bland said. It is physically impossible for him to be trying to flee or run over the officer that shot him.

South Carolina Police Refuse to Release Name
of Officer Who Killed 19-Year-Old

Chief says officer was acting in self-defence and naming him could prompt harassment, but lawyer for Zachary Hammonds parents disputes account

A South Carolina police chief has said he will not release the name of an officer who fatally shot a 19-year-old man in the parking lot of a Hardees restaurant, insisting the officer acted in self-defence.

..

snip

..

Covington has said the undercover officer pulled up beside Hammonds car to buy the drugs, and the officer in uniform was coming up to help with any arrests when Hammond drove his car toward the officer.

..

But the attorney for Hammonds parents, Eric Bland, contended that that explanation was false. He said a private autopsy, conducted on Thursday, showed Hammond was shot from behind, and that his car was not moving. He said Hammond was unarmed and was at Hardees on a date.

..

Bland is calling for the attorney generals office to put the case before a statewide grand jury to investigate. Noting that both Hammond and the officer are white, Bland said Hammonds death should be investigated with the same tenacity as cases that involve different races.

Plain Writing FROM The United States Agriculture Department (USDA).

"On July 19, 2012, the Center for Plain Language issued the first
report cardThis is an external link or third-party site outside of
the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) website. of
federal agencies' efforts to comply with the Plain Writing Act.
The report card grades agencies on their efforts to comply with
the Plain Writing Act and each agency's plain writing supporting
activities. USDA received the highest grades among federal
agencies in both categories. We are honored by this success, but
there is more work to do and we need your help. Please let us
know if you have trouble understanding any of our documents."

As a measure of our success, the Center for Plain Language
awarded USDA its second "A" for compliance and a "B" for how
well our documents adhered to plain language principles. We are
proud of our continued success - and will strive to further improve
how well we communicate with you.

Our pledge is in keeping with our long-standing commitment to
provide you with the information you need from us. President
Obama emphasized the importance of establishing "a system of
transparency, public participation, and collaboration" in his
January 21, 2009, Memorandum on Transparency and Open
Government.

The Plain Language Action and Information Network (PLAIN) is the
official interagency working group designated to assist in issuing
plain writing guidance. The PLAIN web site includes guidelines on
plain language and tools for writing in plain language.

In addition to the Federal Plain Language website tools and resources
available, USDA has developed its own materials to assist employees
with Plain Language training and compliance, and guide you through
the process of integrating plain writing into covered documents.

From the Preface

"There are several possible explanations as to why I and others sometimes
stumble over an accounting note or indenture description. Maybe we simply
dont have the technical knowledge to grasp what the writer wishes to
convey. Or perhaps the writer doesnt understand what he or she is talking
about. In some cases, moreover, I suspect that a less-thanscrupulous
issuer doesnt want us to understand a subject it feels legally obligated
to touch upon.

Perhaps the most common problem, however, is that a well-intentioned and
informed writer simply fails to get the message across to an intelligent,
interested reader. In that case, stilted jargon and complex constructions
are usually the villains.

This handbook tells you how to free yourself of those impediments to
effective communication. Write as this handbook instructs you and you
will be amazed at how much smarter your readers will think you have
become."

"One unoriginal but useful tip: Write with a specific person in mind.
When writing Berkshire Hathaways annual report, I pretend that Im talking
to my sisters. I have no trouble picturing them: Though highly
intelligent, they are not experts in accounting or finance. They will
understand plain English, but jargon may puzzle them. My goal is simply
to give them the information I would wish them to supply me if our
positions were reversed. To succeed, I dont need to be Shakespeare; I
must, though, have a sincere desire to inform.

No siblings to write to? Borrow mine: Just begin with Dear Doris and
Bertie."

by Warren E. Buffett

Introduction

Investors need to read and understand disclosure documents to benefit
fully from the protections offered by our federal securities laws. Because
many investors are neither lawyers, accountants, nor investment bankers,
we need to start writing disclosure documents in a language investors can
understand: plain English.

The shift to plain English requires a new style of thinking and writing,
whether you work at a company, a law firm, or the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission. We must question whether the documents we are used to
writing highlight the important information investors need to make
informed decisions. The legalese and jargon of the past must give way to
everyday words that communicate complex information clearly.

The good news is that more and more companies and lawyers are using plain
English and filing documents with the SEC that others can study, use, and
improve upon. With the SECs plain English rules in place, every prospectus
will have its cover page, summary, and risk factors in plain English.

The benefits of plain English abound. Investors will be more likely to
understand what they are buying and to make informed judgments about
whether they should hold or sell their investments. Brokers and investment
advisers can make better recommendations to their clients if they can read

and understand these documents quickly and easily.

Companies that communicate successfully with their investors form stronger
relationships with them. These companies save the costs of explaining
legalese and dealing with confused and sometimes angry investors. Lawyers
reviewing plain English documents catch and correct mistakes more easily.
Many companies have switched to plain English because its a good business
decision. They see the value of communicating with their investors rather
than sending them impenetrable documents. And as we depend more and

more on the Internet and electronic delivery of documents, plain English
versions will be easier to read electronically than legalese.

The SECs staff has created this handbook to help speed and smooth the
transition to plain English. It includes proven tips from those in the
private sector who have already created plain English disclosure
documents. This handbook reflects their substantial contributions and
those of highly regarded experts in the field who were our consultants on
this project, Dr. William Lutz at Rutgers University and the firm of Siegel

and Gale in New York City.

But I hasten to add that the SEC has not cornered the market on plain
English advice. Our rules and communications need as strong a dose of
plain English as any disclosure document. This handbook gives you some
ideas on what has worked for others, but use whatever works for you.
No matter what route you take to plain English, we want you to produce
documents that fulfill the promise of our securities laws. I urge you in
long and short documents, in prospectuses and shareholder reportsto speak
to investors in words they can understand. Tell them plainly what they
need to know to make intelligent investment decisions."

What Is a Plain English Document?

"Well start by dispelling a common misconception about plain English
writing. It does not mean deleting complex information to make the
document easier to understand. For investors to make informed decisions,
disclosure documents must impart complex information. Using plain English
assures the orderly and clear presentation of complex information so that
investors have the best possible chance of understanding it.

Plain English means analyzing and deciding what information investors need
to make informed decisions, before words, sentences, or paragraphs are
considered. A plain English document uses words economically and at a
level the audience can understand. Its sentence structure is tight. Its
tone is welcoming and direct. Its design is visually appealing. A plain
English document is easy to read and looks like its meant to be read."

This handbooks purpose

"This handbook gives you practical tips on how to create plain English
documents. All of these were born of experience. They come from experts
and those who have already written or rewritten their documents in plain
English.

As with all the advice in this handbook, feel free to tailor these tips to
your schedule, your document, and your budget. Not all of the tips will
apply to everyone or to every document. Pick and choose the ones that make
sense for you.

Some of our tips cover very basic mechanical issues, like how to photocopy
your working draft. Weve included them because they were learned the hard
way and have saved people time, money, and aggravation. Youll see them
listed in Chapter 8, titled Time-Saving Tips.

This handbook is by no means the last word on plain English. We expect to
change it and add more tips as we learn more about writing securities
documents in plain English. So please keep notes on your experiences and
copies of your original and rewritten language. We want to hear from you
and include your tips and rewrites in the next edition.

Finally, we encourage you to give this handbook out freely. It is not
copyrighted, so you can photocopy it without fear of penalty."

Plain Writing at CDC

Plain language improves communication. Decide who you are trying to
communicate with and decide on your key message. Be clear.

Dr. Thomas Frieden, CDC Director, 2012

Our Promise to the Public: Writing You Can Understand

CDC is committed to using plain writing in information for the public.

Our information is relevant to many groups, and plain writing makes
the information even more useful. The Plain Writing Act of 2010 requires
all federal agencies to write plainly when they communicate with the
public, and CDC is taking many steps to use plain writing.

From the Preface

"There are several possible explanations as to why I and others sometimes
stumble over an accounting note or indenture description. Maybe we simply
dont have the technical knowledge to grasp what the writer wishes to
convey. Or perhaps the writer doesnt understand what he or she is talking
about. In some cases, moreover, I suspect that a less-thanscrupulous
issuer doesnt want us to understand a subject it feels legally obligated
to touch upon.

Perhaps the most common problem, however, is that a well-intentioned and
informed writer simply fails to get the message across to an intelligent,
interested reader. In that case, stilted jargon and complex constructions
are usually the villains.

This handbook tells you how to free yourself of those impediments to
effective communication. Write as this handbook instructs you and you
will be amazed at how much smarter your readers will think you have
become."

"One unoriginal but useful tip: Write with a specific person in mind.
When writing Berkshire Hathaways annual report, I pretend that Im talking
to my sisters. I have no trouble picturing them: Though highly
intelligent, they are not experts in accounting or finance. They will
understand plain English, but jargon may puzzle them. My goal is simply
to give them the information I would wish them to supply me if our
positions were reversed. To succeed, I dont need to be Shakespeare; I
must, though, have a sincere desire to inform.

No siblings to write to? Borrow mine: Just begin with Dear Doris and
Bertie."

by Warren E. Buffett

Introduction

Investors need to read and understand disclosure documents to benefit
fully from the protections offered by our federal securities laws. Because
many investors are neither lawyers, accountants, nor investment bankers,
we need to start writing disclosure documents in a language investors can
understand: plain English.

The shift to plain English requires a new style of thinking and writing,
whether you work at a company, a law firm, or the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission. We must question whether the documents we are

used to writing highlight the important information investors need to make
informed decisions. The legalese and jargon of the past must give way to
everyday words that communicate complex information clearly.

The good news is that more and more companies and lawyers are using plain
English and filing documents with the SEC that others can study, use, and
improve upon. With the SECs plain English rules in place, every prospectus
will have its cover page, summary, and risk factors in plain English.

The benefits of plain English abound. Investors will be more likely to
understand what they are buying and to make informed judgments about
whether they should hold or sell their investments. Brokers and investment
advisers can make better recommendations to their clients if they can read

and understand these documents quickly and easily.

Companies that communicate successfully with their investors form stronger
relationships with them. These companies save the costs of explaining
legalese and dealing with confused and sometimes angry investors. Lawyers
reviewing plain English documents catch and correct mistakes more easily.
Many companies have switched to plain English because its a good business
decision. They see the value of communicating with their investors rather
than sending them impenetrable documents. And as we depend more and

more on the Internet and electronic delivery of documents, plain English
versions will be easier to read electronically than legalese.

The SECs staff has created this handbook to help speed and smooth the
transition to plain English. It includes proven tips from those in the
private sector who have already created plain English disclosure
documents. This handbook reflects their substantial contributions and
those of highly regarded experts in the field who were our consultants on
this project, Dr. William Lutz at Rutgers University and the firm of Siegel

and Gale in New York City.

But I hasten to add that the SEC has not cornered the market on plain
English advice. Our rules and communications need as strong a dose of
plain English as any disclosure document. This handbook gives you some
ideas on what has worked for others, but use whatever works for you.
No matter what route you take to plain English, we want you to produce
documents that fulfill the promise of our securities laws. I urge you in
long and short documents, in prospectuses and shareholder reports to speak
to investors in words they can understand. Tell them plainly what they
need to know to make intelligent investment decisions."

What Is a Plain English Document?

"Well start by dispelling a common misconception about plain English
writing. It does not mean deleting complex information to make the
document easier to understand. For investors to make informed decisions,
disclosure documents must impart complex information. Using plain English
assures the orderly and clear presentation of complex information so that
investors have the best possible chance of understanding it.

Plain English means analyzing and deciding what information investors need
to make informed decisions, before words, sentences, or paragraphs are
considered. A plain English document uses words economically and at a
level the audience can understand. Its sentence structure is tight. Its
tone is welcoming and direct. Its design is visually appealing. A plain
English document is easy to read and looks like its meant to be read."

This handbooks purpose

"This handbook gives you practical tips on how to create plain English
documents. All of these were born of experience. They come from experts
and those who have already written or rewritten their documents in plain
English.

As with all the advice in this handbook, feel free to tailor these tips to
your schedule, your document, and your budget. Not all of the tips will
apply to everyone or to every document. Pick and choose the ones that make
sense for you.

Some of our tips cover very basic mechanical issues, like how to photocopy
your working draft. Weve included them because they were learned the hard
way and have saved people time, money, and aggravation. Youll see them
listed in Chapter 8, titled Time-Saving Tips.

This handbook is by no means the last word on plain English. We expect to
change it and add more tips as we learn more about writing securities
documents in plain English. So please keep notes on your experiences and
copies of your original and rewritten language. We want to hear from you
and include your tips and rewrites in the next edition.

Finally, we encourage you to give this handbook out freely. It is not
copyrighted, so you can photocopy it without fear of penalty."

"Why Design Easy-to-Use Web Sites?
Although the problem remains largely
invisible, millions of Americans
have a hard time reading. As many
as half of U.S. adults have limited
literacy skills.2 Even more
Americans as many as 9 out of 10
have limited health literacy skills.
This means they have trouble
understanding complex health
information.



2 As more health
information and services
move online, Web developers and
professionals must find new
and better ways to communicate
health information to the public.
The number of older adults using
the Internet continues to grow.

A significant number of older Web
users are searching for health
information. However, age-related
changes in vision, hearing,

and cognition affect older adults use
of the Internet.

Taken individually, each of these factors
presents a challenge for Web
developers and health professionals.

Taken together, they represent an
urgent need for innovative design and
redesign of health content on the Web.
Several factors affect how well users
can find, understand, and use
information on the Web, including:

Access to computers and experience online



Ability to read and understand printed text

Complexity of information on the Web

Usability of the Web in general and Websites specifically.

Clearly written content, uncluttered Websites, and simple navigation

dramatically improve the performance and experience of Web users,

including those with limited literacy skills.

Studies show that simplifying your Web site improves the experience

of all users, not just those with limited literacy skills.

Clean layouts and familiar language are more usable for everyone"

Writing well for the web

People read differently on the web than they do on paper.

This means that the best approach when writing for the web

is different from writing for print.

Our guidance on writing for GOV.UK is based on research into

how people read online and how people use GOV.UK.

It explains what each rule is based on.

When you write for GOV.UK you should:

use writing for the web best practice follow the

Government Digital Service (GDS) style guide and writing guidance

Meet the user need

Dont publish everything you can online.



Publish only what someone needs to know so they can complete their task.



Nothing more.

People dont usually read text unless they want information.



When you write for the web, start with the same question every time:

what does the user want to know?



Meeting that need means being:

specific

informative

clear and to the point

Finding information on the web

An individuals process of finding and absorbing information

on the web should follow these steps.

I have a question

I can find the page with the answer easily I can see its the

right page from the search results listing

I have understood the information

I have my answer

I trust the information

I know what to do next/my fears are allayed/I dont need anything else

A website only works if people can find what they need quickly,

complete their task and leave without having to think about it too much.


Good content is easy to read

Good online content is easy to read and understand.

It uses:

short sentences

sub-headed sections

simple vocabulary



This helps people find what they need quickly and absorb it effortlessly.

The main purpose of GOV.UK is to provide information - theres no excuse for
putting unnecessarily complicated writing in the way of peoples understanding.

EIA style uses American spelling and usage.

Punctuating bullets: No ending punctuation

An em-dash is the length of two hyphens.

It's used to show a break in thought and is almost always used in pairs.

Correct: My sister Amy-who is two years younger than I am-
graduated from college before I did.

Hyphens with adjectives: short-term forecast, end-use technology.

No hyphens with nouns: in the short term, three end uses.

i.e. and e.g. must be followed by a comma.

It is better to spell out i.e. ? in other words and e.g. ?

for example.

"Punctuation goes inside the quote marks."

WRITING AND WRITERS: STYLE AND WRITING MANUALS : UNITED STATES: GOVERNMENT: NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ADMINISTRATION: NARA Style Guide



http://www.archives.gov/open/plain-writing/style-guide.pdf



National Archives and Records Administration
NARA Style Guide

Preface

Clear writing conveys clear thought. NARA writers

in all offices must strive for clear communication

to explain their increasingly complex work.

They write letters, memorandums, finding aids,

web pages, blogs, leaflets, reports, articles, exhibit

scripts, brochures, budget requests, speeches, forms,

and email messages. This style guide establishes

agency standards of punctuation, word usage, and

grammar that will answer writers most common

questions and will, we hope, promote clear and

effective writing throughout NARA.

Style changes over time and even from place to place,

depending on the intended audience.

These differences do not necessarily make one choice
?wrong.? What is ?right? is consistency within your

own work and using the appropriate language and

usage for your audience.

The NARA Style Guide fills two needs.

First, the section ?Writing for Plain Language ?

will help us comply with the Plain Writing Act of 2010.

Second, it addresses many of the questions and issues

unanswered by the Government Printing Office Style

Manual (GPO manual). This guide is based on the GPO

manual but includes modifications that reflect current

usage.

The most notable difference from the GPO manual

concerns the treatment of numbers. This style guide

simplifies the rules. In most cases, writers will spell

out numbers under 10 and use numerals for numbers

10 and over.
(See section 4.10.)

The GPO manual is still NARAs primary reference for style.

For issues not covered in the NARA guide, continue to

consult the GPO manual.

The appendix, ?Quick Reference,? may be particularly

helpful to NARA writers. This list of words and phrases

provides quick answers to common questions about

capitalization, spelling, compound words, and plurals.

The NARA Style Guide took shape from the agencys

specific language needs and will continue to change to

reflect the needs and concerns of NARA writers.

Use the NARA Style Guide for all NARA communications.

If you have questions about spelling, grammar,

or usage that are not addressed by this guide,

contact the Strategy and Communications staff

1. Writing in Plain Language

Writing in plain language means writing clearly.
It means writing so that readers can find what
they need, understand what they find, and use
what they find to meet their needs. The more
clearly you communicate, the more likely your
readers will grasp what you want them to grasp
and do what you want them to do, from filling
out a form correctly to complying with a regulation.
And the less likely it is that your readers will
call or write you to ask questions or express
frustration.

Ultimately, your job will be easier and more

pleasant if you take the time to communicate clearly.

Plain Writing FROM The United States Agriculture Department (USDA).



"On July 19, 2012, the Center for Plain Language

issued the first report cardThis is an external link

or third-party site outside of the United States

Department of Agriculture (USDA) website.

of federal agencies' efforts to comply with the

Plain Writing Act. The report card grades agencies

on their efforts to comply with the Plain Writing

Act and each agency's plain writing supporting

activities. USDA received the highest grades

among federal agencies in both categories.

We are honored by this success, but there is more

work to do and we need your help. Please let us

know if you have trouble understanding any of

our documents."

As a measure of our success, the Center for Plain

Language awarded USDA its second "A" for compliance

and a "B" for how well our documents adhered to

plain language principles. We are proud of our

continued success - and will strive to further improve

how well we communicate with you.

Our pledge is in keeping with our long-standing

commitment to provide you with the information

you need from us. President Obama emphasized

the importance of establishing "a system of

transparency, public participation, and collaboration"

in his January 21, 2009, Memorandum on

Transparency and Open Government.

The Plain Language Action and Information Network

(PLAIN) is the official interagency working group

designated to assist in issuing plain writing guidance.

The PLAIN web site includes guidelines on plain

anguage and tools for writing in plain language.

Federal Plain Language Web Site
Federal Plain Language Guidelines
Federal Plain Language Tips and Tools
Plain Writing Act of 2010 (PDF)

In addition to the Federal Plain Language website tools

and resources available, USDA has developed its own

materials to assist employees with Plain Language

training and compliance, and guide you through the

process of integrating plain writing into covered

documents.

Plain Language Writer's Checklist (DOC, 15KB)
Plain Language Reviewer's Checklist (DOC, 13KB)
Plain Language Training Resources (DOC, 23KB)
USDA Plain Writing AgLearn Training (updated course)

Some other good resources developed by other Federal

agencies that discuss how to write using Plain Language in

technical writing can be found using the links listed below.

These include guides on how to write Federal Register
