  Romer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The scales are laid out in reverse such that by lining up the numbers given in the grid reference with the gridlines for the square in question, the corner of the romer lies on the referenced spot.
Romers are made from transparent plastic so the map can be viewed through them.

 Romer v. Evans - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Since Romer stood in obvious tension with the Court's earlier decision in Bowers, it laid the groundwork for 2003's Lawrence v.
Romer, however, has not been widely cited beyond Lawrence, no doubt because Kennedy emphasized the "special" nature of Amendment 2 and refused to apply traditional rational-basis analysis to the Colorado law.
Ironically, Roy Romer was on record as opposing Amendment 2; his name was on the suit as defendant and the appellant solely due to his position as governor of Colorado.

 4.06: The Economics of Ideas
Romer's central contribution is the construction of a model that lays bare the crucial role ideas play in driving growth.
Romer argues that because the number of ways to rearrange an object and to create something of greater value is so vast, the prospects for economic growth are far greater than economists would normally have us believe.
Romer, meanwhile, would rather that people measure his work this way: "I hope my contribution is to change the world a little bit," he says.

 Wired 4.06: The Economics of Ideas
There's an obvious explanation for Romer's lack of exposure: his work is highly theoretical, and his papers are peppered with dense algebraic equations and arguments that turn on something called the mathematics of convex sets.
Romer burst onto the economics scene in 1986, with the first in a series of path-finding papers that revived the study of economic growth, which had been moribund for a generation.
And by the time Romer arrived on the scene, new economies to the East, led by Japan, were exploding forth.

 Romer/Thornberry Relationship Raises MORE Questions about DNC Fund-Raising   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Romer denies the relationship was adulterous, claiming to have a close friendship with Thornberry -- emphasizing that relationships can be complex and can involve "grey areas." He further states that his family has known about the relationship and that it will continue.
Romer insisted this relationship would have no effect on the image of the Democratic party, saying "This is about Roy Romer, Governor." An interesting comment from a politician who's stressing that personal relationships do not reside in the public, political domain.
It is for this reason that the allegations of an affair between Romer and Thornberry cannot be soley dismissed as part of either's "personal life." One might and should wonder why Thornberry, if she was truly responsible for the DNC's questionable fund-raising practices, was allowed to remain at the DNC after Romer came on board.

Although Governor Romer had been on record opposing the adoption of Amendment 2, he was named in his official capacity as a defendant, together with the Colorado Attorney General and the State of Colorado.

Sustaining the interim injunction and remanding the case for further proceedings, the State Supreme Court held that Amendment 2 was subject to strict scrutiny under the Fourteenth Amendment because it infringed the fundamental right of gays and lesbians to participate in the political process.
