Are you looking for an activity that's low-impact, burns lots of calories, strengthens your heart, tightens and tones your legs, hips, and glutes, builds endurance, and transports you where you want to go quickly and efficiently? Biking might be just the thing. In this article, I'll cover everything you need to know about biking, from types of bikes and how to select one to how to get started. What is the history of biking? The search for a "human-powered" vehicle was first described by French mathematician Jacques Ozanam in his 1696 publication Recreations Mathematiques et Physiques, in which he describes the advantages of "a device in which one can drive oneself wherever one pleases, without horses." His publication featured a design by Dr. Elie Richard for a massive four-wheeled carriage which could be steered in front by the driver and pedaled in the back by a servant who stepped up and down to drive the axel. This predecessor of the modern bicycle lasted for more than 100 years without significant modification despite many attempts to do so. It wasn't until 1813 when Karl von Drais, a German baron, built a four-wheeled vehicle that carried two to four passengers in which one or more riders worked a crank with their legs while another steered the device with a tiller. This didn't exactly catch on, and so in 1817, von Drais introduced what became known as a draisine or velocipede (from the Latin words meaning fast foot). It was a slender vehicle made almost entirely of wood except for the iron tires which were positioned in a straight line. The rider sat almost completely erect and drove the device forward by pushing off the ground with one foot, then the other, as if walking or running. Drais was able to reach speeds a high as 12 miles per hour, and his device caught the attention of the public. In 1818, he rode more than 50 miles from Mannheim to Frankfurt and received patents from France and Germany. Over the next century, the velocipede underwent many modifications as technology improved. In the 1860s the term bicycle was introduced. By the early 1890s, bicycling had caught on. Bicycles were safer, pneumatic (air-filled) tires made bicycles faster, and more than 150,000 bicycles had been sold in the United States alone. The improvement in speed naturally sparked road races, and thus long- and short-distance races sprouted up all over Europe and the United States (the Michelin Company sponsored a 260-mile race from Paris to its headquarters in Clermont-Ferrand). Racetracks and cycling clubs grew in popularity (the League of American Wheelmen, still in existence and now called the League of American Bicyclists, lobbied for better roads for cyclists and automobiles), and by the end of the 1800s, bicycling was common as a method for recreation and commuting to work. By the 1890s, there were more than 25 bicycle manufacturers alone in Chicago, including the newcomer, Arnold, Schwinn and Company. By the mid-1930s, European bicycle manufacturers were building lightweight bicycles made of alloy materials (most bikes weighed more than 50 pounds up until then), the geometry of bicycles was changing to create more comfortable and faster bicycles, and gears were introduced to make the riding easier and faster. Ten-speed derailleur bikes became very popular in the 1970s, although they had been invented before the turn of the century in Europe. By the 1980s, high-tech and lightweight frames were made of titanium, alloys of aluminum, and finally carbon fiber (the frame of the road model used by Lance Armstrong weighed only 2.5 pounds!). Today more than 15-20 million new bicycles are sold each year in the United States, and according to a bicycle survey sponsored by the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, approximately 57 million people age 16 or older rode a bicycle at least once during the summer of 2002. Can 57 million be wrong? Bicycling can fulfill a multitude of purposes, and if you're not pedaling, now may be the time!

On a related note, there needs to be some pruning of the stuff hanging out in front of the pro pad. If I can remember to throw some snippers in my bag I'll get 'em.

After nearly 18 hours in the water, LECOM pharmacy student Mitchell Ranzenberger reached the Freeport Beach to the cheers of dozens of family members and friends. The second-year student became the 12th person to accomplish one of the toughest aquatic feats. Ranzenberger began his swim at 4:20 Saturday morning on Long Point, a peninsula on the Canadian side of Lake Erie and 38.6 KM (24 miles) from North East, Pennsylvania. The journey began in rough waters, but the lake was calmer under overcast skies for most of the day.
|Sore and nearly exhausted,Mitch Ranzenberer, Pharm2, reaches Freeport beach after swimming 24 miles over 18 hours.
His wife and three young children were watching from the Freeport beach when all you could see were three dots on the horizon - the motorboat and two kayaks that accompanied the swimmer. They watched for nearly three more hours as those three dots grew closer and as darkness fell the dots became pinpoints of light from the boats growing larger as Mitch made his way toward shore.
Until he began training this spring, Ranzenberger had never swam outside of a pool. He did much of his training at the LECOM Medical Fitness & Wellness Center before working in the lake with Eric Mizuba, DC. Dr. Mizuba coached Ranzenberger from a nearby kayak and swam alongside the student on the approach to shore.
Recently losing three friends to suicide, Ranzenberger is using the lake swim to promote suicide prevention and was raising funds for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (www.outofthedarkness.org). "Training for a 24 mile swim and making the Lake Erie crossing was anything but easy, but nothing compared to the loss of someone you love to suicide," Ranzenberger tells his supporters. "To help raise awareness I have dedicated myself to making this swim across Lake Erie."
To contribute to the JAR Fund for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention click here.
Besides his family and friends, the swimmer received support from LECOM Provost Silvia M. Ferretti, DO; Pharmacy School Dean Hershey Bell, MD; and Sports Medicine Director Patrick Leary, DO. James M. Wiclko, DMD, skippered his boat the Infinite Vision in assisting the lake crossing.
|Hugs for a very tired daddy!
The Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine and LECOM School of Pharmacy offer innovative and affordable education in osteopathic medicineand pharmacy. From campuses in Erie, Pennsylvania, Greensburg, Pennsylvania and Bradenton, Florida, LECOM provides student-centered pathways to prepare the next generation of healthcare professionals. Prepare yourself for medicine as your life's profession.

"I'll always remember a certain radio exchange that occurred one day as
Walt (my back-seater) and I were screaming across Southern California 13
miles high. We were monitoring various radio transmissions from other
aircraft as we entered Los Angeles airspace. Though they didn't really
control us, they did monitor our movement across their scope. I heard a
Cessna ask for a readout
of its ground speed. "90 knots" Center replied. "Moments later, a Twin
Beech required the same." "120 knots," Center answered. We weren't the
only ones proud of our ground speed that day as almost instantly an F-18
smugly transmitted, 'Ah, Center, Dusty 52 requests ground speed
readout.' There was a slight pause, then the response, "525 knots on the
ground, Dusty."
"Another silent pause. As I was thinking to myself how ripe a situation
this was, I heard a familiar click of a radio transmission coming from
my back-seater. It was at that precise moment I realized Walt and I had
become a real crew, for we were both thinking in unison." "Center, Aspen
20, you
got a ground speed readout for us?" There was a longer than normal pause
.... "Aspen, I show 1,742 knots" No further inquiries were heard on
that frequency.
In another famous SR-71 story, Los Angeles Center reported receiving a
request for clearance to FL 60 (60,000ft). The incredulous controller,
with some disdain in his voice, asked, "How do you plan to get up to
60,000 feet? The pilot (obviously a sled driver), responded, "We don't
plan to go up to it, we plan to go down to it." He was cleared.

Many attribute the public release of information on this program to President Johnson in Feb 1964, when he confirmed the successful flights of the A11 at altitudes of over 70,000 ft and speeds over 2,000 mph.
I've heard these stories and have always wondered. Were these after the SR-71 became public? I'd think they wouldn't have wanted these things over the airwaves, or were they within specs made public by that point?
Posted 19 October 2012 - 05:15 AM
Then some needs to let the FAA and the ICAO know. From the FAA Pilot/Controller Glossary.
Nope. 60,000 ft is correct.
FLIGHT LEVEL- A level of constant atmospheric pressure related to a reference datum of 29.92 inches of mercury. Each is stated in three digits that represent hundreds of feet. For example, flight level (FL) 250 represents a barometric altimeter indication of 25,000 feet; FL 255, an indication of 25,500 feet.

No wonder Air Traffic Control sounded alarmed when I would report I was flying at FL 6.

The angry, armed society that we've become
That's but a partial list of recent local gun-related headlines, and I excluded accidents. Nationally? Since the slaughter of those kids in Connecticut, there've been around 4,000 deaths from firearms in the U.S. And since 1968, there've been well over 1,300,000, which is more than in all U.S. wars combined.
I've already acknowledged that the barn door is way past closing, that there'll never be courageous new federal gun laws or even not-so courageous ones. Lying about non-existent gun registries, and using Senate rules, per usual, like a blunt object, Republicans (and four Democrats) recently blocked a puny attempt to extend already-existing background checks to gun shows and Internet sales, despite support for the measure by 90 percent of Americans, including 80 percent of gun owners. "The world's greatest deliberative body," they call themselves.
A recent study showed that states with the most lax gun laws have the highest rates of gun violence and suicide; so maybe I've been wrong in saying that it wouldn't matter anyway. If so, it might be the last time we hear about it, because Congressional Republicans, breeding true, have also seen to it that no more federal funds can be spent on such research.
Still, if only as an academic exercise, it's worth pondering: why, among civilized countries, are we the only one where shootings are so commonplace? How is it that America, which has led the world in so many good things, threatens to lead in gunplay, too; has evolved a culture in which firearm ownership is as deeply embedded as breakfast? Why do so many Americans feel the need to be armed to their gums? Our response to Sandy Hook: bulletproof backpacks for school kids; calling for teachers to carry weapons, legislators to wear bulletproof vests. Alone in the elsewhere not-so-wild West, our politicians uninterested in or incapable of changing (like Australia's did), the U.S. is coming to look like Afghanistan. Murder by the daily dozen, siblings killing siblings by accident: Hey, just the price of doing business. A fair trade for staving off some imaginary government overreach.
How did we get from the belief by our founders that settlers should have muskets, to where we are today, fearsome weapons sold like bananas, to anyone, anywhere; where even minimal rules governing that corrosive commerce are shouted down in paroxysms of paranoia? And don't tell me the real problem is video games or Hollywood movies, or mental health. In Japan, where video games are as everywhere as sushi, where American movies play and their own are just as brutal, people tend not to kill each other particularly much. Same with the British, the French, even the Germans! And I bet they even have sociopaths. Unarmed, elections happen there, oppression-free. No, there's something that makes America exceptional. Here, there's pervasive right-wing mongering of and buying into fear; and what's curious is how mainstream it's become. The cold-dead-hands, they're-coming-for-us crowd; the disinformed, Foxobeckian pretend patriots; the believers that regulation presages confiscation. If they're in the minority, they seem to have all the power.
Good for that local homeowner and his .22, who held an intruder at bay, and who, no doubt, would've passed a background check. What worries me is the tailgating anger management reject reaching for his piece. Because, increasingly, people are doing nasty, selfish things: tossing trash out their windows, running red lights, refusing to yield, flashing fingers and looking mad. Mad enough to kill over a parking space.
Coarseness and fury seem the rule nowadays. And these aren't criminals, they're ordinary people; and the more ordinary such behavior becomes, the more concerned I get. Because this is America, land of the heavily-armed, land of fire, ready, aim; land of conspiracy theories and omnipresent anger, especially among those who feel the need to take their country back ... from those people, whoever they are. It's not those unmarked tanks rolling into town that'll get us. It's us. The aggrieved and seething, grabbing a gun, getting even. It's not about what's legal: it's about who we've become.

It's a bird. It's a plane. No…it's a Hover Cat! Special thanks to ABC's Good Morning America anchor Dan Harris for making a soon-to-be-viral YouTube video that features adoptable pets. The video also stars Dan's adopted cat, George, whose incredible talents spring to life as soon as Dan leaves for work. This cat seriously knows how to keep a beat!
While the cuteness can't be ignored, neither can the video's ultimate message: Adopting a pet is awesome! So go ahead, take a peek…and be sure to share! It's a great way to encourage more folks to adopt.
Thanks again, Dan!
This was an absolutely precious video!
Thank you for the video, I hope it sends out a great message to find a home for animals.
Thanks Dan and George for this awesome video!
Vry cute I wondered what our cats do when we leave them. Now I have visions what my might be doing.
Live a good life with and them. Relationship advice will tell you to remember one thing that they have right to say you anything because in life, they worked hard to bring you up.

I was so delighted to find Crepe de Chine...and even more thrilled when I rec'd. my order...put it on the next day for a 10 hour shift in a dirty factory...and still had a fellow want to know what I was wearing...it was irresistible to all! In the movie, Scent of a Woman, Al Pacino comments that the young woman has that "soap and water scent"...this must be what she had on! I'm back for more today for friends and family gifts...and more for my cache...:>)

50 yrs ago I was at a party when a young man I did not know came up to me, put his arm around my waist & said "I haven't smelled 'Crepe de Chine' since Paris before the War!" (How could you not like a fragrance with that reaction!)
Written by HPATSY on April 15, 2013Read Review details ►
I first found crepe de chine in the early 60's and am very happy to be able to get it again. This smells just like the original it's the only perfume which does NOT give me a headache when worn I wish you would provide it in a small size to carry in a hand-bag, for times when one unexpectedly needs it. (when that attractive man walks across the room towards you; or another one gives you a big (come and talk to me smile)

I found this fragrance in the 70's; could not find it again for some time; then, thanks to Fragrance Net, I am a happy woman again......this is simply wonderful.
Written by Elaine on February 26, 2013Read Review details ►
I have a couple of old empty bottles of this classic chypre style fragrance from the 1920s, one at eau de toilette strength and the other the extrait itself. The recreation by Long Lost Perfume seems to be very close to the original, and in due course I look forward to obtaining others in their line, such as My Sin and Bond Street to see how they compare with the originals. Maybe one day they'll get around to Lanvin's Scandale, a great favourite of mine years ago.

Telework ready: The dark side
Monday - 3/11/2013, 2:00am EDT
Teleworking is here to stay, and that's great. Right?
Maybe for some, but ...
After decades of political and bureaucratic foot-dragging and prodding (sometimes at the same time) a record number of federal workers are working from home. Or from remote telework centers. In any case, they aren't in the office.
Some telework most or all of the time. Others have designated days when they work from home. In any event, most are designated as "telework- ready" and, for some, that's the problem.
Backers of teleworking say it is a win-win situation. Workers are happier. Daycare bills can be reduced or eliminated. Nightmare commutes are eliminated or reduced. Absenteeism and tardiness are reduced. The air is clearer, the sun shines brighter. It's all good. Except sometimes ...
Teleworking got a real test last Wednesday in the Washington- Baltimore area. Blizzard conditions in the Midwest were moving toward us. Local radio and TV went nuts all day Tuesday and into the evening. D.C. was supposed to get eight-plus inches. Higher elevations to the west were looking at 17-plus inches. A March Madness Blizzard was upon us. Or so we were led to believe.
Locals replenished their survival kits, which in the Mid- Atlantic region are built around white bread, white milk and toilet paper. Schools closed. Banks closed. It was supposed to be fairly bad by the a.m. rush hour and every man/woman for themselves by rush hour. The government closed. Those of us who had to go to work had an easy commute in, although we dreaded the return home.
Then nothing happened. It snowed a little where I live (just inside the Beltway) and there was only a thin coating here at the office in Northwest D.C. Then it stopped. Nada. Or almost nothing. The streets and sideways were clear. Folks to the west and south got hammered. But in most of the metro area, the Mega-March-Monster was a dud.
Bottom line: Most feds got the day off, and instead of hunkering down with their survival kits they enjoyed a pleasant paid vacation while contemplating future furloughs.
But for feds designated telework-ready, it was just another day at the office (albeit their home office) because while others rested, they were expected to slave away over a hot computer for eight hours. Not fair, some said. For instance:
Definitive (for Washington) answer: Yes, and no! Yes they probably have the right to change your telework days in an emergency if you are designated as telework ready. Check this out.
"...I was asked to telework on yesterday. Yesterday was NOT my telework day. However, I was told that because I was "telework-ready" I had to work. Is this true? And if so, do I get time-in-a-half because that is almost like working on a holiday? Sorry for the short-fuse but the sooner you can respond, the better. TeleworkReady
Good question. So what did you do last Wednesday? (Remember this is a family station). Got comments, suggestions, whatever? Let us know. And remember your boss will probably be reading the comments too, so let 'em rip.
" I stayed home Wednesday like most of my fellow federal government workers. The difference is that I am apparently considered "telework- ready." I took that to mean that I was ready, willing and able to telework on my designated day. But my agency reads it differently. It means I work when they say I work, even if it is not my telework day. Have you heard from others about this or am I just making it a mountain out of a very small mole-hill?"
Compiled by Jack Moore
Natural blue raspberries (also known as whitebark raspberries) appear more maroon than blue. The more familiar neon-bright-blue coloring was created by ice-pop companies, such as Otter Pops and Fla-Vor-Ice, to distinguish the raspberry flavor from a slew of other red-tinted flavors, such as cherry, strawberry and watermelon.

Lawmakers confident budget
deal can be reached to avert shutdown
Congress missed the deadline to avert sequestration. Now, a deadline to prevent a government shutdown is barreling toward lawmakers. Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) and Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) tell Federal News Radio they believe a deal will be reached.
CBP sequestration plan
slashes 40% from agents' pay, union says
Border Patrol agents say they're getting the short end of sequestration's stick. CBP's plan to cope with the the 5 percent funding reduction it faces includes furloughs and less overtime for agents. It announced yesterday that furloughs would begin in April.
House puts damper on USPS plan for 5-day
The House didn't grant the U.S. Postal Service's wish to move to five-day-a-week delivery. The fiscal 2013 spending bill approved Wednesday didn't mention any change to the six-day-a-week mail delivery mandate, so therefore the requirement remains in effect, said Jennifer Hing, a spokeswoman for the House Appropriations Committee.

Blue Bulls – Tries: Jono Ross, David Bulbring. Conversion: Handré Pollard. Penalty: Pollard. Drop goal: Pollard.
Western Province – Tries: Gio Aplon, Damian de Allende. Conversions: Kurt Coleman (2). Penalties: Coleman (3), Gary van Aswegen (2).

CHARLOTTE — Quarterback Cam Newton threw two touchdown passes and scored on a fourth-down run as the Carolina Panthers won their franchise-record eighth game in a row, stifling the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 27-6 on Sunday afternoon at Bank of America Stadium.
Carolina's defense made it difficult on rookie quarterback Mike Glennon as Tampa Bay's three-game winning streak came to an end.
The Panthers (9-3) pulled within a half-game of the New Orleans Saints, who play tonight at Seattle, in the NFC South. The Panthers and Saints will meet next week at New Orleans and Dec. 22 in Charlotte.
"We can talk about it now," Panthers cornerback Captain Munnerlyn said of the matchup with the Saints.
Newton was intercepted twice, but he made enough other big plays to make up for those wayward throws. He completed 18 of 29 passes for 263 yards and also was the game's top rusher with 68 yards.
Carolina held an opponent without a touchdown for the second time in a four-game span.
Glennon, playing in the state for the first time as a pro after a college career with North Carolina State, was rushed several times as he sought open receivers. He connected on 14 of 21 attempts for 180 yards, but he was sacked five times.
Glennon was without a touchdown pass for the first time as a starter. He had thrown at least one touchdown passes in his first eight starts, setting a record for NFL rookies.
The Panthers took their first lead with 6:08 left in the first quarter. Newton's 56-yard run set up a 16-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Brandon LeFell two plays later.
The Buccaneers (3-9) scored first, settling for kicker Rian Lindell's 27-yard field goal on its opening possession. They added Lindell's 53-yarder later in the first quarter after safety Keith Tandy's interception of Newton.
Trailing 7-6, Tampa Bay was poised to regain the lead early in the second quarter, reaching the Carolina 4. But on third down, Glennon lost the handle on the ball while scrambling, with defensive tackle Dwan Edwards recovering a fumble. Glennon wasn't hit on the play.
Instead, Carolina kicker Graham Gano's 23-yard field goal capped the ensuing 14-play, 76-yard drive, increasing the Panthers' lead to 10-6.
The Panthers made it 17-6 on Newton's 1-yard, fourth-down leap with 25 seconds left in the first half. Newton's 30-yard screen pass to tight end Greg Olsen was the drive's big play.
Tampa Bay's first possession of the second half ended with safety Mike Mitchell's interception.
Olsen's 28-yard pickup with a catch came a play before Newton's 36-yard touchdown strike to Ted Ginn Jr. The Panthers led 24-6 with 10:50 remaining in the third quarter.
Carolina 27, Tampa Bay 6
Why Carolina won:The Panthers held Tampa Bay to 206 yards of total offense to complete a season sweep of the NFC South rival.
Turning point: The Buccaneers were poised to go ahead in the second quarter, reaching the Carolina 4-yard line. Quarterback Mike Glennon lost his grip on the ball without being hit and defensive tackle Dwan Edwards recovered the fumble.
Key statistic: Tampa Bay was 1-for-10 on third-down conversions.
Notable quote: "If we can pick each other up when something good or bad happens, that is great. That to me is a sign of being a football team when somebody isn't playing well or one side isn't playing well." — Carolina coach Ron Rivera, whose team was unfazed by giveaways with two interceptions.

- Through veto referendum, nullify a law enacted by the Montana State Legislature.
First steps
The first step in qualifying an initiative for the ballot in Montana is for its proponents to submit the full text of the initiative to the Montana Secretary of State for review. Within 14 days after receiving the measure, the Secretary of State's staff must make recommendations for changes in the text or, alternatively, provide a statement indicating that no changes are recommended. (See ballot title.) Proponents must consider the recommendations and respond in writing to the Secretary of State, either accepting, rejecting or modifying each recommended change.
A sample petition, including the complete text of the measure, must then be submitted to the Secretary of State's office in the form in which it will be circulated. The ballot measure proponents must also submit a proposed impartial ballot statement to accompany the issue. The sample petition may not be submitted to the Secretary of State more than one year prior to the final date for filing the signed petition with the county election administrator. The Secretary of State refers a copy of the petition to the Montana Attorney General for approval. The Secretary of State and Attorney General must each review the petition for sufficiency as to form, approve or reject the form of the petition and state the reasons for rejection, if any.
The Attorney General must forward his or her comments to the Secretary of State within 21 days after receipt of the petition. The Secretary of State will send written notice of the initial approval or rejection of the form to the person who submitted the petition within 28 days after submission. If the petition form is approved, a printed sample copy of the petition to be circulated, containing the title and implication of the vote statements as prepared by the Attorney General, must be filed with the Secretary of State. The determination of legal sufficiency shall be forwarded to the Secretary of State within 30 days of the initial form approval. The Secretary of State will notify the sponsor of such a decision.
Fiscal statement
The Attorney General will also order a fiscal impact statement if the proposed ballot issue has an effect on the revenues, expenditures or the fiscal liability of the state. The budget director, in cooperation with the agency or agencies affected by the petition, is responsible for preparing the fiscal note. If a fiscal note is prepared for the proposed ballot issue, the Attorney General will prepare a fiscal statement that is to be used on the petition and ballot if the measure is placed on the ballot. The Attorney General also will write a statement, not to exceed 100 words, explaining the purpose of the measure, and statements, not to exceed 25 words each, explaining the implications for and against the measure. If one wishes to challenge an Attorney General's decision on whether or not a ballot is legally sufficient the case will go directly to the Montana Supreme Court.[1]
Number of signatures required
The number of signatures required to qualify a measure for the ballot is tied to how many votes were cast in the last gubernatorial election. To place a constitutional amendment on the ballot, proponents must collect 10% of votes cast for governor in the last gubernatorial general election. For the 2012 election cycle, that comes to 48,673 signatures. For a new state statute or veto referendum, 5% of votes cast for governor in the most recent gubernatorial election are required. For 2012, that comes to 24,337 signatures. The number of signatures required to qualify a measure for the ballot is tied to how many votes were cast in the last gubernatorial election. To place a constitutional amendment on the ballot, proponents must collect valid signatures signatures equal to 10 percent of votes cast for governor in the last gubernatorial general election. For a new state statute or veto referendum, signatures equal to 5 percent of votes cast for governor in the most recent gubernatorial election are required.
|Veto referendum
See law: Montana Constitution, Article III, Section 4 Montana Constitution Article III, Section 7 & Article XIV, Section 9
Distribution requirement
- See also: Distribution requirement
Montana has a distribution requirement. For ballot measures proposing amendments to the Montana Constitution, the requirement is that signatures equalling 10% of those who voted in the most recent gubernatorial election must be collected in each of at least 40 of the state's legislative districts. Ballot measures proposing changes to Montana's state statutes must collect signatures equalling 5% of those who voted in the most recent gubernatorial election in each of at least 35 legislative districts.
Circulation and submission deadline
The circulation period can be no more than one year. All signatures must be filed with the Secretary of State before 5 p.m. of the third Friday of the fourth month prior to the election at which they are to be voted upon by the people.[2] For 2010, that deadline will be June 18, 2010.
Method of signature verification
County officials check the names of all signers to verify they are registered voters. In addition, they randomly select signatures on each sheet and compare them with the signatures of the electors as they appear in the registration records of the office. If any of the randomly selected signatures do not appear to be genuine, all signatures on that sheet must be compared with the signatures in the registration records of the office.
Restrictions on petition circulators
The Montana state legislature passed Montana Senate Bill 96 in 2007 making it illegal to pay circulators by the signature.
As of 2007, Montana also has a residency requirement for circulators. Petition circulators are required to be Montana residents. Residency is defined as: "the union of act and intent" to reside and continue to reside in Montana.
Also while Election Administrators, Clerks and Recorders previously were allowed to gather signatures on an issue, they now only will be keeping ballots for review. Here is the law that was recently passed and will be enacted in 2007:
13-27-102. Who may petition and gather signatures
- A petition for the initiative, the referendum, or to call a constitutional convention may be signed only by a qualified elector of the state of Montana.
- A person gathering signatures for the initiative, the referendum, or to call a constitutional convention:

Single-subject restriction
Montana does have a single-subject rule for initiatives.
Legislative tampering
- Main article: Legislative tampering
The Montana State Legislature can both repeal and amend initiated state statutes (but not initiated constitutional amendments, except through the normal procedures for amending the Montana Constitution.)
General comments
Once an initiative has qualified to appear on the ballot, committees are formed to write arguments for and against the issue. These arguments appear in the Voter Information Pamphlet (2006 example) that is distributed before each election to all households with a Montana voter. A three-member committee supporting the issue is appointed by the sponsor who submitted the petition. A five-member committee opposing the issue is appointed by the governor, Attorney General, president of the senate and speaker of the house of representatives. The four appointed persons appoint the fifth member.
Proposed changes
There were no proposals during the 2009-2010 session of the Montana Legislature.
Campaign finance
- Montana treats groups that are registered to support or oppose a ballot question the same like other political committees.
- Montana has a separate designation for independent expenditure groups influencing a ballot question called a incidental political committee.
- Montana requires urgent reporting of all campaign contributions of $500 or more in the last ten days of the election, within 24 hours of receiving the contribution.
- Montana allows corporations and labor unions to donate to political committees in support or opposition of a ballot question.
- Montana requires urgent reporting of all campaign debts of $500 or more used towards election materials within 24 hours of receipt of the transaction.
