"Who's going to survive?"

That's what the new trailer for the ninth season of Grey's Anatomy asks. So, um, does that mean more death is on the way? Naturally, with the exit of Eric Dane from the series and the deafening silence from executive producer Shonda Rhimes on the fate of Arizona (Jessica Capshaw) fans have suspected that one of the two beloved doctors would meet their maker as a result of last season's plane crash.

Grey's Anatomy: Will Arizona Robbins and Mark Sloan die?

In the new trailer, someone is being pushed on a gurney through the hospital. Could it be the potentially ill-fated Mark, who had suffered chest injuries during the crash, or Arizona, who was not only last seen coughing up blood, but also had a bone sticking out of her leg? Maybe Derek (Patrick Dempsey) is being wheeled in to get his hand fixed up? Another question: Is the gurney even being pushed through the hallowed halls of Seattle Grace? Check out the trailer below:

Who do you think will survive?

Tessa Ferrer

Grey's Anatomy may have lost a few faces this past year, but there will be plenty of newbies roaming the halls when the medical drama returns this fall.

Newcomer Tessa Ferrer has scored a recurring role on the ABC drama's upcoming ninth season, TVLine reports.

Exclusive: Veronica Mars alum Tina Majorino lands a Grey's gig

It is unknown whether Ferrer will play a character based at Seattle Grace, or if she'll be tied to one of the new hospitals to be featured on the show this season when several longtime characters start their new gigs.

Grey's marks Ferrer's TV debut, where she joins new recurring guest stars Veronica Mars vet Tina Majorino, Friday Night Lights' Gaius Charles and True Blood's Camilla Luddington. Former series regulars Chyler Leigh and Kim Raver will not returning come fall, and Eric Dane is set to wrap his arc early in Season 9.

The new season of Grey's Anatomy premieres on Thursday, Sept. 27 at 9/8c on ABC.

Its an old party tricksucking helium from balloons so you can sing like a Wizard of Oz munchkin. When gibbons inhale this non-toxic gas, researchers can detect much more sophisticated impersonations. It turns out that gibbon vocalization techniques mirror those of highly trained soprano opera singers.

Weve shown how the gibbons distinctive song uses the same vocal mechanics as soprano singers, revealing a fundamental similarity with humans, explains Takeshi Nishimura, an associate professor with the Primate Research Institute at Japans Kyoto University.

Scientists had previously believed that human speech was possible, in part, due to suspected evolutionary changes in the larynx, tongue, and vocal tract. But Nishimuras new findings suggest that humans may not have vocal anatomy and ability as unique as previously thought.

Listen to a gibbon call:

And to a gibbon on helium:

We share voice-box physiology with gibbons, and likely other primates, but we also share the way we manipulate sound, Nishimura explains. With both humans and gibbons, the origin of the soundthe larynxis independent from the vocal tools (or training) used to tailor audible messages.

Nishimura and his colleagues studied a young female white-handed gibbon at the Fukuchiyama City Zoo in Kyoto, where they exposed her to helium-rich air. Helium, which shifts gibbon sounds to a resonance that is easier to assess with acoustic equipment, is common in animal vocalization research.

This graceful primate normally makes intense, pure-toneor single-frequencycalls that can travel more than a mile through dense tropical forests in their native Southeast Asia.

It was probably the need to communicate with distant neighbors in such bustling habitats that produced the unique gibbon song. Such ecological and social requirements forced gibbons, using a soprano technique, to produce their pure-tone and loud voices, Nishimura said.

CRANANAS is an anamorphic representation of a skull and pineapple by Rémi Andron from the French art direction and graphic design studio FLOZ.  Rémi is a master with a Bic ball pen, the detail he gets is incredible.

The name “CRANANAS” is a mashup of two French words, “crâne” for skull and “ananas” for pineapple.

I stumbled upon the top male torso sculpture with brain genitalia , fittingly titled Racional (Rational), on Facebook and just had to find out who created this masterpiece.  Our lovely fans on Facebook told us it was created by the Cuban sculptor, Yoan Capote.

Yoan plays with the human body, rearranging it, taking it apart, and reinventing it for other human needs.  He also does this with other objects, studying the human-object interaction and giving them abstract personalities.  View all of Yoan Capote’s work at yoan-capote.com!
