It Is An End Of An Era
Master of the Conga
Francisco Aguabella (October 10, 1925 – May 7, 2010
Afro Blues missing a beat
Conga was taken away
And then
Baba came
Took our skins and callings
Yet we made a new
And then
Baba came
After two wars and dread
We wanted song and dance
And then
Baba came
Jazz, Rock and Roll even
Crooners with a Master Conga
And then
Baba left.

Past, Future Are Now
The so called “Kongos” and “Angolas,” Bantu peoples, held similar perceptions of time. In the Bantu people’s systems of meaning the past goes and returns to people in the present time, the future is tomorrow’s past, so that the future, present, and past are one (Fu-Kiah 1994).Afro-Americans Heritage
Many say the Africans had no philosophy; yet, physics is proving the sages of early human to be quite true, ergo; the real developments have really been the tools we use, and bot intelligences.

“Never in my wildest dreams did I think my dad would walk in for a hip replacement and be dead two months later,” said Amy Fix, one of his daughters.
Not until the day Mr. Armbruster died did a laboratory culture identify the organism that had infected him: Acinetobacter baumannii.
The germ is one of a category of bacteria that by some estimates are already killing tens of thousands of hospital patients each year. While the organisms do not receive as much attention as the one known as MRSA — for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus — some infectious-disease specialists say they could emerge as a bigger threat.
Well our nations would not teach evolution as it should. Now nature again shows us who are the King and the Queen. The bacterium, the member of our evolutionary tree is no mofo joke. As one philosopher stated g_d has jokes.

What Will Be: Will Be
IT has been some years now, but I asked the question to my spiritual friends: What would being human be like in 21 C. I leave some interesting apparent facts from Live Science. I will continue to post on this subject, for many other knowledge bases, like politics and economies are dependent on what will be. Many times these fields lag behind the heuristic realities, as does beliefs. The next 20 years should be quite interesting, to say the least.

Courtroom First: Brain Scan Used in Murder Sentencing
A defendant’s fMRI brain scan has been used in court for what is believed to be the first time.
Brain scan evidence that the defense claimed shows the defendant’s brain was psychopathic was allowed into the sentencing portion of a murder trial in Chicago, Science reported Monday. Brian Dugan, who had been convicted of the rape and murder of a 10-year old, was sentenced to death, despite the fMRI scans.
“I don’t know of any other cases where fMRI was used in that context,” Stanford professor Hank Greely told Science.
While the possibility of using fMRI data in a variety of contexts, particularly lie detection, has bounced around the margins of the legal system for years, there are almost no documented cases of its actual use. In the 2005 case Roper v. Simmons, the Supreme Court allowed brain scans to be entered as evidence to show that adolescent brains work differently than adult brains.

AND! They have; YET, to find a distributor for the film on Charles Darwin, born Feburary, 12, 1809, for public viewing. And we wonder why our children, lag in International School Competions. The Calvinist still rule paradoxically in hedonist America. We need to take our evoutionary freedoms, seriously. Or we will lose them.
