It Is True That A Mixture Of Black And White Is Of A Cool Hue Because
black is not a primary colour, but a compound of the three primary
colours in which blue predominates, a predominance which is rendered
more sensible when black is diluted with white. As to the colour of the
sky, in which light and shade are combined, that is likewise neutral,
and never blue except by contrast; thus, the more the light of the sun
partakes of a golden or orange hue, and the more parched and burnt the
earth is, the bluer appears the sky, as in Italy and all hot countries.
In England, where the sun is cooler, and a perpetual verdure reigns,
infusing blue latently into the landscape, the sky is warmer and nearer
to neutrality, partaking of a diversity of greys, which beautifully
melodize with blue as their key, and harmonize with the light and
landscape. Therefore the colour of the sky is always a contrast to the
direct and reflected light of the scene: if this light were of a rose
colour, the neutral of the sky would be converted into green, or if
purple, the sky would become yellow. Similarly would it be in all cases,
according to the laws of chromatic equivalence and contrast, as may be
often seen in the openings of coloured clouds at the rising and setting
of the sun.
In art, blue is apt to be discordant in juxtaposition with green, and
less so with purple, both which are cool colours; consequently blue

Click here for more pictures from the awards
Some bands would be more than content with two gongs, but not MGMT.
Fresh from their success at last night's NMEs, the duo are poised to pick up another award... only this time from the courts.
It seems that French President Nicolas Sarkozy has been trying to impress his lady love Carla Bruni by using the psychedelic pair's hit Kids at rallies. Sarkozy has been a champion for stricter music copyright laws, but it seems naughty Nic didn't bother to ask the boys' permission.
Ooh la la.
Now the US twosome - who scooped Best New Band and Best Track at the awards - are taking on the French government for compensation.
Let's hope the indie boys Arc de Triomphe...

When I started writing this blog back in 2013, the first thing I told myself was I'd want it to be an honest blog and this post is one of them honest kind of posts. Some women (and men) may feel embarrassed to talk about this type of topic but having urinary incontinence is very common, and in fact, 1 in 3 women (and 1 in 10 men) suffer from it. There are many excuses that we use (even I use it) such as a weak bladder, sensitive bladder, leaks and so on.
I'm sure many people can agree that they have suffered from urinary incontinence but to actually admit it, is a different matter. However, it's something we should not be embarrassed to talk about. It most commonly happens if you're pregnant, post-childbirth, going through menopause and in active women (who participate in certain sports). In men, it's most common as a result of prostatectomy surgery and is known to be one of the biggest challenges to overcome during the recovery process.
INNOVO have challenged me to try out their non-invasive pelvic floor restoration device to see if it helps me in the next few weeks. I'm really looking forward to trying it out and seeing some good results. Did you know that there is no such thing as a weak bladder? It's a weak pelvic floor and again, nothing to be ashamed about. INNOVO have created an effective treatment called Innovotherapy that's available for men and women to help strengthen their pelvic floor muscles, which means fewer leaks.
The great thing about this product is that you can do it in the comfort of your own home. There's a set of pads which you place on your thighs and buttocks, and it's even a clinically proven technology.
I will be writing an updated post in the next few weeks, so be sure to keep an eye out for that. I'm really looking forward to trying it out and hopefully, some great results too.
We are currently working with INNOVO with this campaign.

NatWest T20 Blast will be out of this world... global stars Kevin Pietersen, Aaron Finch, Glenn Maxwell (and possibly Andrew Flintoff) will make sure of that!
- ECB launch competition by sending a cricket ball into space
- Tournament starts Friday May 16, with Finals Day on August 23
- Stars such as Pietersen, Finch, Maxwell (and possibly Flintoff) will feature
The NatWest Twenty20 Blast has lift-off on Friday as the renamed and revamped competition starts across the country.
Fourteen of the 18 counties begin their 2014 T20 campaigns and to celebrate the start of this year's version, the ECB have launched a cricket ball into space from Edgbaston.
There will, of course, be plenty of batsmen looking to do the same, including Kevin Pietersen, Aaron Finch and Jos Buttler, and the runs are set to flow this summer.
Out of the park: The ball sailing over Edgbaston after being launched into space
Out of this world: The ball hovers over the planet - even KP of Finch would struggle to hit it that far!
Durham v Worcestershire (5.30pm)
Gloucestershire v Somerset (5.30)
Leicestershire v Derbyshire (5.30)
Yorkshire v Northants (5.30)
Notts v Lancashire (6.30)
Hampshire v Glamorgan (7.0)
Sussex v Surrey (7.0)
Middlesex v Essex (noon)
Middlesex v Sussex Lord's (4.0pm)
Lancashire v Worcestershire (7.0)
There could be another big-hitting, fast-bowling addition as Andrew Flintoff looks set to rejoin Lancashire for the competition - if he can prove his fitness in the seconds.
Most of this year's matches will take place on Friday nights in an attempt to maximise attendances and there will be musical accompaniment following the ECB's quest to find supporters' favourite songs.
The players certainly seem to be looking forward to the competition starting, with many of them going on Twitter to express their excitement. Lancashire's Tom Smith, involved in the first live TV match of the tournament at Notts, possibly put it best with the succinct message: 'T20 is here let the slogging start!'
The pinnacle of the Twenty20 season is, of course, Finals day and this year it is at Edgbaston on August 23. Northants are the holders after their victory over Surrey last year.
The race to topple them starts on Friday. Players and fans will have a blast.
They're going to have a blast: Representatives from each of the 18 counties with the trophy

Cloud and CRM will drive enterprise software spending through 2014
Greater adoption of on-premises and software as a service (SaaS) will drive a modest increase in worldwide software spending through 2014. This was revealed by Gartner after it completed its large-scale enterprise IT spending study through the third quarter of 2012 for analysis of enterprises' IT budget spending plans for 2013 and 2014.
"Results from the survey indicate that software spending will increase modestly worldwide through the 2014 budget year, with new software sales (on-premises) and SaaS driving this increased spending," said Hai Hong Swineheart, research analyst at Gartner. "However, significant regional differences in priorities and drivers will require vendors to pursue market-specific strategies."
Regions with higher IT maturity, such as North America and Western Europe, expect lower or no budget increases over the next two years, while developing countries with immature IT infrastructure, such as Eastern Europe, Latin America and Asia/Pacific, will experience the largest budget increases in software spending.
Survey results show new software licenses (on-premises, including applications) continue as an important priority in emerging regions, with 69 percent of respondents expecting new software license budgets to increase in 2014, compared with 47 percent from mature regions. The regional differences relate to the amount of mature systems with maintenance and technical support fees. Less mature regions, with little or no infrastructure, will typically spend more on new software licenses (on-premises, including applications), while more mature regions with mature infrastructure tend to spend more on software maintenance and support (including license updates and/or technical support).
As economic pressures increase and other factors come into play, such as resource limits and skill shortages, organizations have expressed overwhelming interest in cloud computing and other options that externalize IT. In North America, interest in SaaS/public cloud is significantly higher than in other regions, with more than 60 percent of respondents increasing their budget in SaaS/public cloud within the next two years. Organizations in other regions show more interest in hosted applications (single tenant), with Asia/Pacific the highest, with 34 percent of respondents increasing their budget on hosted applications.
"It's very clear that mature regions are focusing on public cloud computing, while emerging regions are focusing on private cloud computing," said Ms. Swineheart. "This could be due in part to an immature telecommunications infrastructure in some emerging countries while data security is a persistent concern related to public cloud services among our clients in developing-region enterprises."
The survey also revealed that customer relationship management (CRM) has edged past enterprise resource planning (ERP) as the top application software investment priority. This further validates a business focus on enhancing customer experience, with both mature and emerging regions emphasizing investments in CRM. Survey respondents indicate that their top three application software investment initiatives for 2013 are CRM, ERP, and office and personal productivity tools.
Security software topped infrastructure software investment priorities, driven by the evolution of new threats, as well as by changes in working practices. While companies increasingly perceive the mobility of their workforce as a strategic advantage, there is growing awareness of the damage caused by security breaches. More and more organizations are accepting the need to have more-open connectivity with business third parties and assessing third-party security and defining how to securely communicate are becoming critical factors.

You could win a copy of the NLT Illustrated Study Bible. Enter our sweepstakes!
28:64 will scatter you. Some argue that these threats of exile indicate that portions of Deuteronomy were written during or after the Babylonian exile (sixth century b.c.). This argument is rooted in the view that supernatural predictive prophecy is impossible. But in fact, this covenant curse is couched in more general terms than would apply to the Babylonian exile. It threatens a widespread dispersion "from one end of the earth to the other." It may find fulfillment in the Assyrian and Babylonian exiles, as well as in the dispersion of the Jews after the fall of Jerusalem in a.d. 70.

Watercolour of woman sleeping and dreaming of love. "This Dream "by Edna St. Vincent Millay Love, if I weep it will not matter, And if you laugh I shall not care; Foolish am I to think about it, But it is good to feel you there. Love, in my sleep I dreamed of waking, White and awful the moonlight reached Over the floor, and somewhere, somewhere, There was a shutter loose, it screeched! Swung in the wind, and no wind blowing! I was afraid, and turned to you, Put out my hand to you for comfort, And you were gone! Cold, cold as dew, Under my hand the moonlight lay! Love, if you laugh I shall not care, But if I weep it will not matter, Ah, it is good to feel you there!

About Sam C.Close
Hello! Through my four years at the Juilliard School I have taken lessons with some of the worlds most prominent trombonists, including Elliot Mason, Steve Turre and Joe Alessi. In addition, I have a vast experience of teaching both classical and jazz students. I've created my own general lesson plan comprised of exercises I have received from these world renown teachers, as well as from other working professionals in NY.
I'm very quick to notice your skill level and create a cohesive, unique lesson plan catered to working on your weaknesses and polishing your strengths! A mediocre teacher will simply give you default exercises to work on-- a task better left to google. A good teacher, however, can diagnose a student and find the most efficient way for he/she to improve.
I promise to be a caring, fun, informative teacher. Please contact me for more information about my lessons.
Teaching is my biggest passion, I can't wait to work with you!
Happy practicin'!

In that bestselling book, Bloom uses the word "personality" to capture Shakespeare's innovation rather than the word "character," because he feels that Shakespeare's creations—particularly Hamlet and Falstaff—have the depth and complexity of living beings and thinks "character" implies these are mere fictional roles to be played by an actor. In Bloom's view, Shakespeare's influence is so vast that all of us are, in a way, reflections of the personalities he created. All of us are either Falstaffs or Hamlets. We are either lovers of life or lovers of death.
That seems unduly positive about most people; although we are all supremely interesting to ourselves, it's unlikely we deserve or could sustain the same level of analysis these two have for four centuries. Still, this flattering assertion is central to Bloom's critical bombast, the very quality that has made him America's most prominent academic critic. His latest book, Falstaff: Give Me Life, is the first in a series of treatises on "Shakespeare's Personalities" he is writing for Simon and Schuster. Its subject, Falstaff, is Shakespeare's greatest comic creation and perhaps the greatest comic "personality" in all of literature. This 176-page essay exposes the deep flaws, inconsistencies, and ultimate hollowness of Bloom's intellectual project.
Falstaff is the friend and teacher of the wayward Prince Hal in the Henry IV plays. Hal has fled his father's royal court to wallow in the Eastcheap taverns with thieves and whores. Falstaff is the leader of this wretched band. Bloom celebrates Falstaff as a kind of demi-deity, a celebration of goodness standing in opposition to all that is wicked in society. He praises Falstaff's wit and intellect and excuses his vices as a display of his "freedom from society."
In Bloom's eyes, Falstaff's greatest triumph is his "resurrection"—when he denounces dying for honor ("Give me life!") and fakes his death at the Battle of Shrewsbury, rising up from the ground and crying, "to counterfeit dying . . . is to be no counterfeit, but the true and perfect image of life indeed."
Bloom believes that Falstaff's lies—his "counterfeits"—reveal deeper truths about the empty nature of honor, morality, and the state. Falstaff is "authentic," and beautifully "real." But when Bloom must actually reckon with the sorts of things Falstaff does that would seem monstrous in real life, the Yale professor simply asserts that the knight is just a metaphor. Falstaff tricks more than a hundred peasant-soldiers into battling to their deaths so that he can keep their wages. Bloom's defense is a shrug. If we are to condemn him for this, he writes, "by that test we should more than blame King Henry IV and Prince Hal for authentic brutality, sending so many to war."
"Do not moralize," Bloom says. But moralize Bloom does, when it suits him. Henry IV is a butcher, Prince Hal is an "amiable monster," and anyone who calls Falstaff a coward is a coward himself. Bloom never seems to ask himself just what it is that Falstaff loves so much in the amiable monster or consider the myriad ways in which the student and teacher are alike. Bloom notes that Hal and Falstaff have one of the most intriguing friendships in all of literature. Falstaff teaches Hal to mock honor, revere little, lie well, and get away with anything—and these new perspectives on his royal responsibilities, combined with his own innate abilities, make Hal the new kind of king we see in Henry V.
In his most famous speech, Falstaff disdains honor: "What is honor? A word . . . What is that honor? Air . . . I'll none of it." Bloom deems this declaration the epitome of Falstaffian philosophy, which he calls "vitalism." And yet, if honor is such a waste, why does Falstaff spend so much of his time pursuing advancement? What of his dreams of "growing great?" Falstaff's philosophy is, like the philosophies of many of Shakespeare's greatest characters, rife with tensions. To ignore this is to do a disservice to Shakespeare.
Bloom pushes us to love a knight who disdains morality, but he will not brook any suggestion that Falstaff has blemishes—including any such suggestions from Shakespeare himself. We see this in Bloom's declaration that Shakespeare must have been forced, perhaps on pain of death, to write The Merry Wives of Windsor, the wild farce written between the Henry IV plays that features Falstaff trying and failing to seduce a pair of married women. He fails, over and over, and is humiliated. Bloom seems ashamed of the Falstaff in this play, but rather than consider the commonalities between this Falstaff and Hal's Falstaff, he will discuss it no further than asserting Shakespeare never meant for the play to be read by his posterity.
Bloom's chief flaw is that he is exasperatingly prissy with Falstaff, meeting any questioning of the character with the joyless finger-wagging of a schoolmarm. If we want to understand Shakespeare's characters—especially Falstaff, who is at his best when he is being grilled by a hostile audience—we must ask hard questions of them. Bloom does not do this. The problem with being a "worshipper of Shakespeare," as Bloom calls himself, is that one can become too dazzled to see him clearly.

Falstaff Revisited
Must-Reads from Magazine
The Great Republican Forgetting
The cult of personality corrupts.
Pro-Trump constituents in the press have a peculiar preoccupation with the president's conservative critics. Specifically, they're concerned with the amount of credit Donald Trump receives for his achievements, which presumes those achievements are self-evident. Objective achievements—e.g., how the Republican Party under Donald Trump has methodically nominated and confirmed originalist judges to federal courts—demand no hectoring from the credit police. Principled conservatives are as happy to heap praise upon Trump for his stewardship of the courts as are #MAGA brigades. It's only the president's more dubious feats that raise the hackles of Trump's enforcers, and for a good reason; they're not accomplishments at all.
The Wall Street Journal editorial board exemplified the genre on Monday when its members took aim at the "pearl-clutchers among foreign-policy worthies" who, they alleged, stubbornly refuse to "admit" how Donald Trump's hectoring of America's allies has yielded tangible and positive results. The Journal uncorked its contempt for students of foreign affairs for failing to say that raising defense budgets among America's European allies is a product of Trump's antagonism. This elides the possibility that students of foreign affairs know that they are not. In fact, making this flimsy assertion requires a substantial commitment to forgetting facts that Republicans used to know almost intuitively. Among them that talk is cheap and nations are moved to action not by badgering presidents or institutional utopianism but hard-power realities. And today's hard-power realities aren't just unworthy of praise; they're deeply disturbing.
The Journal editorial noted over half of NATO's 29 members will soon meet the arbitrary threshold of spending the equivalent of 2 percent of national GDP on defense by 2024, "compared to four or five in a typical year before 2014." It is, however, important to make note of precisely what nations met their commitments in 2014: the United States, Great Britain, and Greece. In other words, nations with significant deployments abroad or nations directly threatened by an aggressive neighbor. In 2015, that list expanded to include Estonia and Poland—two countries that were moved to action by the invasion and annexation of sovereign Ukrainian territory by neighboring Russia. This year, the list will grow still more to include Latvia, Lithuania, and Romania. Non-NATO allies like Sweden and neutral parties like Finland are similarly increasing their defense budgets in the second half of this decade. See the pattern forming yet?
It isn't just the threats metastasizing in the region but politics in America that have compelled prudent Europeans to look to their own affairs. Two consecutive American presidential administrations have now made their preference for retrenchment clear. Barack Obama spent six of his eight years attempting to "pivot to Asia" and spent most of his tenure withdrawing American soldiers and the last armored divisions from European soil until—you guessed it—hard power realities forced him to abandon his vision.
Donald Trump has continued his predecessor's habit of antagonizing American allies through costly and needless hostilities over trade relations, and he has been just as clear about his desire to see forward deployments scaled back. "NATO benefits Europe far more than it does the U.S.," Trump wrote this week. It's hard to think of a presidential pronouncement burdened with more historical and strategic ignorance. NATO and institutions like the International Monetary Fund are American constructions that enforce an American-led global order. These are long-lived institutions by historical standards, and they've managed to stave off great power conflict of the sort that typified the early 20th century.
The prospect of European rearmament serves American political sensibilities but not America's strategic interests. Conflicts abroad have a gravitational pull on the world's only superpower and allowing them to flourish inevitably sets the stage for American involvement. There is no coalition of European allies that can allow the U.S. to outsource its role as lone superpower. That was a lesson Barack Obama learned too late. Those who allow Donald Trump to harbor the delusion that American security is advanced by weakening its allies' reliance on it as the guarantor of geopolitical stability are giving the president license to make Obama's mistake.
American lawmakers from both parties have long sought to inculcate in their European counterparts a sense of ownership in their own security. If that sense of obligation has finally arrived, it is due to circumstances that no Republican with a healthy appreciation for America's global mission could possibly welcome. Republicans used to know that hard power was the ultimate arbiter of geopolitical events and of nations. They used to know that talk—be it of the tough or amicable variety—was worth exactly what you paid for it. They used to know that barrier-free trade produced peace and that rewarding criminal despots for making illusory commitments was a reckless misuse of the presidency. Those are undying principles of statecraft that will survive Donald Trump's presidency. It's unfortunate that we cannot say the same of all principles.

The Daily Beast Sounds the Alarm About a Papist Menace
Old-school anti-Catholicism.
"To be sure" is one of the slipperiest expressions in the journalistic lexicon. There are legitimate uses for it, to be sure. But an unscrupulous reporter will drop a "to be sure" just before he launches a nasty, underhanded attack on his subject, all while giving the appearance that he (the reporter) is all too sensitive to nastiness—that he is not making the claim he is plainly making.
The Daily Beast's legal-affairs columnist, Jay Michaelson, demonstrated this practice on Monday with his hit piece on Leonard Leo, the Federalist Society executive who has played an outsized role in shaping the judiciary under President Trump. About a third of the way into his profile, Michaelson offered this classic "to be sure": "To be sure, none of this is to repeat the odious claims of anti-Catholicism of papist conspiracies and dual loyalty."
Yet the article was nothing more than a collection of claims of "papist conspiracies and dual loyalty" designed to create the impression that Leo seeks to impose his sinister Romish superstitions on the rest of the nation via the courts. The only thing missing was one of those 19th-century newspaper cartoons that depicted a grotesque papal octopus, its slithering legs marked "ignorance," "corruption," "infallibility," and so forth. In fact, Michaelson at one point evoked the octopus image with a reference to "Leo's octopus of organizations and influence" (my emphasis).
Mostly Michaelson, who doubles as a Buddhist rabbi of some sort, revealed his acute ignorance of the Catholic faith.
In attempting to cast his subject as a dangerous fanatic, for example, Michaelson noted that "Leo is a member of the secretive, extremely conservative Knights of Malta, a Catholic order founded in the 12th century that functions as a quasi-independent sovereign nation with its own diplomatic corps (separate from the Vatican), United Nations status, and a tremendous amount of money and land."
Actually, there's nothing secretive about the Sovereign Order of Malta. It came together amid the First Crusade in the 11th century—not the 12th, as Michaelson claimed—to defend Christians and provide medical help to people of all faiths in the Holy Land. Today, the order operates much like any other nongovernmental organization—think of the Red Cross or Oxfam—with more than 100,000 staff and volunteers delivering health care and disaster relief worldwide. It also enjoys diplomatic relations with 106 countries, owing not to any nefarious reason but to the fact that it won sovereign recognition in the centuries after its founding.
Is the Order of Malta "extremely conservative?" Not really. It is a lay religious order as well as a sovereign state. Therefore, its leaders owe religious obedience to the pope. Some of the order's chivalric and aristocratic elements have also persisted through the ages, but the "knights" don't go around the world assassinating the Church's enemies or anything of the kind. They are mostly older gentlemen who take their Catholic faith and the Christian commitment to the works of mercy seriously. Ooh, creepy!
The article also took a potshot at Opus Dei, which it described as an "extreme, ultraorthodox Catholic sect," whose members mainly engage in "self-flaggelation [sic] and other body-mortification practices." Outside the fervid imagination of Michaelson and novelist Dan Brown, Opus Dei is an officially recognized personal prelature of the Catholic Church that promotes holiness among the faithful by encouraging practices of intense daily piety and charity. The Church under John Paul II canonized Opus Dei's founder as a saint. Today, Opus enjoys warm relations with Pope Francis, who appointed one of its members, former Fox News correspondent Greg Burke, as director of the Holy See Press Office. So why did Michaelson take a gratuitous swipe at Opus Dei? Because the husband of one of Leo's onetime associates may or may not have been a member.
Then there was the quotation from Tom Carter, an embittered former colleague of Leo's, who apparently served as the story's sole source. "Leonard's faith is paramount to him," Carter told Michaelson. "When he traveled, staff members had to find him a church near where he was staying so he could say Mass every day" (my emphasis). But as anyone minimally familiar with the faith knows, lay Catholics like Leo don't, and can't, say the Mass. That privilege is reserved for ordained members, i.e., bishops and priests. The factual lapse—neither Michaelson nor his editors at the Daily Beast caught the error or clarified the quotation—lays bare the religious illiteracy that pervades liberal media today.
Catholics have grown especially accustomed to such media ignorance and hostility. Carter's observation about Leo—that he attends daily Mass—wasn't meant as a compliment. Rather, it was supposed to raise suspicion about the worldview of the man who helps the administration pick judicial nominees. But can anyone imagine the Beast ever giving voice to similar sentiments regarding, say, a faithful Muslim? He prays five times a day. Allah is at the center of his life. Yikes!
None of this is to suggest that Michaelson is a partisan hack and an anti-Catholic bigot. To be sure.

The Liberal Fetishization of Abortion
Provocation for its own sake.
As Americans gird themselves for the sound and fury of a Supreme Court confirmation "fight," they should prepare to hear one poll-tested expression repeated with Pavlovian consistency: "extremism." The label could be applied to any number of conservative policy preferences, but Democrats seem especially prepared to direct the epithet at conservatives' belief that Roe v. Wade was wrongly decided. On its face, this is a sound political decision. Senate Democrats cannot prevent Republicans from confirming the next Supreme Court justice, so the party's best bet is to motivate its voters by implying that the new Court will strip them of their right to access abortion services. That's a message to which Democratic voters are very receptive, but there is a thin line between motivation and fanaticism. The pro-choice party that once stood in opposition to the outright prohibition of abortion has begun to make a fetish of that procedure.
In deference to that peculiar fetish, the comedian Michelle Wolf is the latest liberal talk-show host to confuse being provocative with cleverness. Adorned in cartoonish patriotic regalia evocative of "John Philip Sousa's America," Wolf spent her Independence Day staging a "salute to abortion." The performance consisted of gushing over the life-affirming practice of voluntary pregnancy termination, a few off-color jokes, and some self-soothing techniques typical of "the party of science." For example: "Some people say abortion is 'killing a baby,'" Wolf noted. "It's not! It's stopping a baby from happening." The more you know.
There was some comedy offered along with what was otherwise a series of deliberate challenges to standards of basic decency in there somewhere. Of course, comedy is subjective. What is of note, though, is how these and other similar expressions of cultish devotion to abortion would have repulsed even liberal Democrats not that long ago. Today's liberal activists do not see Wolf's display as a tasteless expression of fidelity to a distasteful but occasionally necessary practice that cannot be prohibited without unintended and undesirable consequences. For the left, the days of "safe, legal, and rare" are long gone.
In 2013, the state of Texas sought to impose some medical standards on abortion clinics. These included compelling doctors to have admitting privileges to local hospitals and clinics in order to meet ambulatory surgical standards, which would have effectively closed many rural abortion providers. State Sen. Wendy Davis responded with a failed filibuster. The Supreme Court ultimately struck down the Texas law, arguing that it erected an "undue burden" on abortion seekers established in Planned Parenthood v. Casey. Some might have conceded that conservatives have a point about the Court's rulings on Casey and Roe if ambulatory care standards represent too high a bar for abortion providers to overcome, but not the left. They were too busy turning Davis into a rock star.
The liberal blogosphere and the press marveled at Davis's many "amazing facial expressions," her biography, her choice of footwear, and her t-shirts. Davis instantly became a major Democratic fundraiser and the subject of a major motion-picture script with Sandra Bullock attached as the lead. Davis's stardom convinced her to make a run at the governor's mansion. But by the time Texans voted, the bloom was off the rose. She turned in the worst Democratic performance in a gubernatorial election since 1998, in part, because she was never the talent the center-left media ecosystem made her out to be. Davis thought she was the driver, but she was only the vehicle.
In the intervening years, Americans on the left have composed even more preposterous devotionals to the practice of aborting fetuses. They've formed advocacy organizations with titles like "Thank God for Abortion," advocated depicting abortion in cartoons aimed at young children, praised the destigmatizing effect of abortion jokes, and penned columns advocating the late-term abortion of children diagnosed in utero with autism. And while Democratic officeholders are cautious about mirroring their base's off-putting pro-abortion enthusiasm, they are still content to vote with them when it counts. In 2016 and again in 2018, the party united to block a ban on aborting a child after the 20th week of gestation—when the child has a functioning heart and brain, and has developed fingers, toes, and external genitalia. Senator Dianne Feinstein called the effort an "attempt to harm women by criminalizing their healthcare."
Liberal confidence is buttressed by polls that routinely show voters oppose overturning Roe v. Wade by two-to-one margins. But virtually unfettered access to abortion is a similarly unpopular position. Since the mid-'70s, Gallup has found Americans prefer some restrictions on abortion rights. A 2017 Marist survey commissioned by the Knights of Columbus found nearly six in ten respondents backing a ban on the practice after 20 weeks with exceptions if the life of the mother is in jeopardy. That figure is virtually unchanged from 2013 when a Washington Post/ABC News poll showed that a majority support a 20-week ban. Dive deeper into the weeds, and you'll be privy to heated arguments about what stage of the pregnancy actually constitutes 20 weeks (there is a valid debate on the matter), but none of this suggests that the general public has any stomach for reverential pro-abortion passion plays.
Almost from the moment that Justice Anthony Kennedy announced his retirement, liberal commentators and columnists pronounced Roe v. Wade dead. They parsed the validity of arguments that had not been made in cases that had not been brought and they reached a predetermined conclusion. All the while, the activists to their left have made a golden calf out of abortion. When it comes to practice, the Democratic Party's activist base is out of touch with the rest of the country, but they haven't seemed to notice.

Is Higher Education in Trouble?
A bubble on the brink?
Conservatives have long warned of a higher education bubble. Americans, they say, are irrationally exuberant about the value of college. Students who might once have chosen an apprenticeship have been pushed toward college instead, which has bid up the price of higher education to unsustainable levels. Now, as director of editorial content for the James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal, George Leef, recently explained, Americans are wising up because "lots of people with degrees" are "doing low-skill work." Families are no longer willing to overlook that "students [learn] little of value and [rack] up big debts." They are fleeing the market.
Defenders of this thesis—call them the "bubblists"–claim that we can see this flight in real time thanks to the National Student Clearinghouse Center's data on changing college enrollments. Its most recent release finds total enrollment at 17,839,330, which is a decline of 1.3 percent from the prior year. More importantly, this is the seventh straight year of decline. Drawing on a thoughtful piece by Martin Center board member Jane Shaw, Leef pegs the decline since 2011 at 9 percent. The bubble may not be bursting, but Leef thinks it's deflating. College, he wrote, is a "stock that rose much too high on hype and is now in the process of market correction."
Shaw is more careful. She correctly attributes much of the decline to "adult students going back to work." They flooded into higher education not because of "college for all" hype but because, with jobs scarce, it made sense to acquire additional credentials. They are no longer flooding in because jobs are no longer scarce. Moreover, the number of high school graduates has stagnated after "two decades of reliable increases." College enrollments were expanding because the available pool of high school graduates was growing. They now find it hard to grow not because Americans are wising up but because that pool is stagnant.
Still, Shaw thinks we may be experiencing a "culture shift." COMMENTARY readers will be well aware of the wave of student protests that swept through American campuses starting in 2015, touched off by Black Lives Matter protests at the University of Missouri. A Pew Research poll, Shaw noted, shows a dramatic increase in the percentage of Republicans who say "colleges have a negative effect on the country." Before the Mizzou protests, "most Republicans and Republican leaners held a positive view of the role of colleges and universities." Two years later, only 36 percent did. Perhaps, then, some Americans have had enough of the well-documented liberal bias of university faculties and the appalling spectacle, seen most strikingly at Evergreen State College last year, of administrators sucking up to the activists. Enrollment at Evergreen has certainly dropped, and the protests probably contributed to the decline.
However, if we were seeing a broad culture shift, we would expect to see big losses at the four year private and public universities where most of the protests have taken place. As Shaw recognized, the drop in enrollments has been primarily at community colleges, where enrollment decline has been fairly steep. At for-profit universities, there has been a jaw-dropping 43 percent decrease in enrollments since 2011. By contrast, enrollment at four-year public and private non-profit colleges is up slightly since 2011. This year, enrollments at four-year public and private non-profits fell two-tenths and four-tenths of a percent, respectively; not the kind of drop one needs a culture shift to explain.
But Leef is right to speak of a correction of sorts for traditional four-year colleges and universities. Small declines over a period of years add up. Increasingly, colleges and universities are offering more financial aid to attract about the same number of students, a sign of softening demand. With fewer tuition dollars coming in, many of these places are under real pressure.
In a way, this situation is an opportunity for education reformers. Because conservatives have good reasons to object to the college and university status quo, it is satisfying to imagine that colleges are now in trouble because of liberal hype and leftist lunacy. That isn't true; at least, not where enrollments are concerned. But perhaps those who care about the future of higher education can be persuaded that there is a market for colleges and universities that resist left-wing pieties and attend to their missions, captured well by former University of Chicago president Hannah Gray. Universities, she has said, "should be expected to provide the conditions within which hard thought, and therefore strong disagreement, independent judgment, and the questioning of stubborn assumptions, can flourish in an environment of the greatest freedom."
This conception of the university has not been terribly popular among university administrators and faculty, but, as they say, any port in a storm.
