True Crime (41)

No current Talk conversations about this book.
3.75 stars
The author looks back at the early 20th century in New York City as scientists learn more about various poisonous chemicals. She looks at various deaths (often murders, or suspected murders, but in some cases, accidental deaths) caused by the poisons. Various chemicals she focuses on include chloroform, ethyl alcohol, methyl alcohol, radium, cyanide, carbon monoxide, and more.
I listened to the audio, and although I was interested, I still managed to get distracted at times. I suspect it would have been a full 4 star book for me had I read it in print or ebook. Of course, the true crime aspect makes it a little more interesting, still, with "real-world" applications to the findings. Probably no surprise, but I didn't like the animal testing that was done/described. This one's nonfiction, but it reads like a novel.
A very easy to read and very informative book about the very beginnings of forensic science. The dedication, scientific knowledge, and determination of those early pioneers is a strong testament to their will and commitment. Modern medical science and current criminology own so much to these men.
I absolutely loved this book. It is a highly readable account of the rise of forensic medicine and toxicology in the United States, focusing on the Bellevue lab in New York City. The book talks about a number of homicides (or, in some cases, accidents that were believed to be homicides) that resulted from poisonous chemicals. There are chapters on arsenic, cyanide, carbon monoxide, radium, thallium, etc. Some of the compounds that the author discusses were known to be poisons (like arsenic and cyanide, for example), whereas some were new compounds, discovered in the first third of the twentieth century, that were not discovered to be poisonous until ill effects were reported.
The book is not just about crime or homicidal maniacs who use poison as their weapon of choice. It is also about changing technologies, corporate greed, and egregious misuse of chemical compounds that borders on being comical to the modern reader. (Radium health tonics. Blearghhh.)
The book is well written (the crisp, non-academic writing is very refreshing - unlike the radium health tonics) and does not get overly bogged down in scientific terms. The author provides enough medical and scientific background to be relevant, but she presents it in layman's terms. I love reading about the periodic table, but since I am not a scientist, I find that sometimes I get lost when there is too much detail. That is not the case here. I highly recommend this book.
This book profiled the development of forensic medicine in New York, primarily through the actions of a reformer and a chemist.
It's a good crash course on different common poisons in the era (and their availability-- you could pick up arsenic-laden rat traps at any pharmacy). It's also a pageturner.
However, while I found the main narrative educational, I'm not sure how much weight I could put into some of the case studies and historical references Blum brought up. At one point, she mentions Lucrezia and Cesare Borgia as people who used poison as a frequent weapon; this is no longer an academic consensus (at the very least, a powerful noble house such as Borgia had minions for that kind of thing), particularly where concerns Lucrezia. It's a minor point but one that is so easy to research that I found myself skeptical of every other anecdote to follow.
The tag line on this book is "Murder and the Birth of Forensic Medicine in Jazz Age New York". It wasn't until 1918 that New York appointed a medical examiner with actual medical credentials. Before that time the coroners office was part of the Tammany Hall controlled administration. The new medical examiner, Dr Charles Norris and his toxicologist, Alexander Gettler, dragged New York into the modern world of forensic science.
This is not just the story of their dedication and struggles as they strove to create a world class medical examiner's office. It is also the story of New York, the US and the world's slowly expanding knowledge of the poisons around them. The chapters are arranged by poisons and of particular interest are the ones about radium and all the chapters on the various alcohols. Before reading this book, I didn't realize that alcohol consumption increased during Prohibition or that the government added poisons to alcohol in an attempt to deter people from drinking.
The Poisoner's Handbook is not only well researched, it is also very readable.

Science journalist Deborah Blum shares the untold story of how poison rocked Jazz Age New York City. She tracks the perilous days when a pair of forensic scientists began their trailblazing chemical detective work, fighting to end an era when untraceable poisons offered an easy path to the perfect crime. Drama unfolds case by case as chief medical examiner Charles Norris and toxicologist Alexander Gettler investigate a family mysteriously stricken bald, factory workers with crumbling bones, a diner serving poisoned pies, and many others. Each case presents a deadly new puzzle and Norris and Gettler create revolutionary experiments to tease out even the wiliest compounds from human tissue. From the vantage of their laboratory it also becomes clear that murderers aren't the only toxic threat--modern life has created a kind of poison playground, and danger lurks around every corner.--From publisher description.… (more)

Giovanni 2chic Ultra-Moist Collection (Avocado & Olive Oil). Because… green?
Wednesday, March 20, 2013
With the March Sephora + Pantone Emerald launch (not to mention, this past St. Patrick's Day) on my mind, I've found myself thinking rather a lot about green recently.
Like, a lot. When you take into consideration the fact that I don't even like green, it's kind of a problem.
Anyhow: I haven't tried out the Giovanni 2chic Ultra-Moist Collection yet, but it's very green! Made for dry, damaged hair and normal to dry skin (there are a few body products in the range, too), I thought I'd share this avocado-and-olive-based collection with you today.
No particular reason why; I was just really pleased with this particular shade of green today. Better than feeling blue!

When Qbert games match your quality of gaming output, you should re-evaluate your purchase.
"high res gaming console" HAH! Good one. Console games aren't even in 720p anymore, they are 600p and lower, upscaled to 720p running at 30fps. You keep thinking your puny console is high res, in the meantime I'll be enjoying truly gaming at "high res", on my PC.

Inlaks Fine Arts Award: Five emerging Indian practitioners selected for 2013 award
Abul Hisham, This land belongs to Mr. Abdul haque & his sisters, 2012. Acrylic, pastel and 300 gsm paper cuttings on paper, 60 x 72 in. Photo: Courtesy of Inlaks Shivdasani Foundation.
The Inlaks Shivdasani Foundation was established in 1976 by Indoo Shivdasani, a leading international Indian businessman, as a permanent platform for his philanthropic activities. The Foundation focuses on providing scholarships, grants and awards in any field to outstanding young Indians to develop their professional, scientific, artistic and cultural abilities both abroad and in India. The Inlaks India Foundation, the Indian arm of The Inlaks Shivdasani Foundation, grants annual awards in India for emerging practitioners of the fine arts, sports and theatre.
The tenth edition of the Fine Arts Award will be awarded on 6th February with a keynote lecture from eminent international critic and art historian Robert Storr, Dean, School of Art, Yale University. The award includes a grant as well as a residency programme, and the nominees were chosen by a jury of eminent Indian artists and arts professionals, including gallerist Mortimer Chatterjee, co-founder of the artists initiative Open Circle, Tushar Joag, sculptor Shilpa Gupta and artists Manisha Parikh and Jaideep Mehrotra.
The Inlaks Fine Arts Award is recognised as Indias longest-standing award supporting emerging artists. The awards have emerged coincidentally with the overall growth in interest in Indian art in the past decade, and aims to significantly contribute to the success of young artists who transition from educational institutions into the countrys art scene. The Fine Arts award has long been a key focus for the Inlaks Foundation within their prize roster, and last year the award increased its grant to provide enhanced opportunity to young artists after graduate/post graduate degrees in the fine arts. This year as well, it is befitting to host a presentation and reception in Mumbai, where the awards will be announced amidst the trustees, alumni and interested members from the arts field.
The awards ceremony will include a panel discussion with artists Tushar Joag, Ivana Franke and Rasmus Nielsen in conservation with Girish Shahane, followed by the keynote address. Previous alumni of the award include, Hemali Bhuta, Sakshi Gupta, Prajakta Potnis, Rathwa Ambhubai, Chinmoy Pramanik and Ritesh Ajmeri.

Let's cut to the chase, shall we.
Let's cut to the chase, shall we.
Yesterday ,Rihana posted a video on Instagram where she's rolling around in a skimpy leather S&M outfit that leaves little to the imagination.
Chris Brown and Rihanna have been broken up for…a few years.
A photo posted by Tommy Chiabra (@tommy_chiabra) on Feb 21, 2015 at 11:21am PST As we recently found out, nobody throws a fucking party like Leonardo DiCaprio.
You know that thing where you go out of your way to show yourself having a grand ol' time in front of someone just to make that someone jealous.
Instagram Now that Rihanna and Leonardo DiCaprio's fling is officially over due to him gettin' it on with a hot model in front of her, I can happily report that Rihanna is officially back on the market.
We've all heard the rumors about Leonardo DiCaprio of late – that Leo and Rihanna totally banged at a party at the Playboy Mansion, that Rihanna said Leo is "the best she's ever had," and even that she's whipped Leo into starting a diet because he's too flabby for her.
Today the Grammys announced that Rihanna, Paul McCartney and Kanye West will be performing their new single "FourFiveSeconds" live on Sunday night during their show, which is amazing timing considering that they also just released a music video for the song today.
Rihanna isn't letting Leonardo DiCaprio live.
Remember a couple of weeks ago we reported that there were rumors of Leonardo DiCaprio hooking up with Rihanna at the Playboy Mansion.
I wouldn't be surprised if Leonardo DiCaprio did bang Rihanna while partying it up big at the Playboy Mansion.

Mike McDonnell, assistant commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RMCP), said on Saturday that a group of 12 adults and five younger people that were arrested on Friday "were planning to commit a series of terrorist attacks against solely Canadian targets in southern Ontario".
The group is alleged to have acquired three tonnes of ammonium nitrate, commonly found in fertiliser, and "components necessary to create explosive devices."
Police said the individuals were arrested in co-ordinated raids throughout the wider Toronto area.
"This group posed a real and serious threat," McDonnell said.
"It had the capacity and intent to carry out attacks. Our investigation and arrests prevented the assembly of any bombs and the attacks being carried out."Painstaking probe
McDonnell said the painstaking investigation that led to the arrests had involved around 400 police and security experts.
"The men arrested yesterday are Canadian residents from a variety of backgrounds. For various reasons they appeared to have become adherents of a violent ideology inspired by al-Qaeda," said Luc Portelance, assistant director of operations for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS).
The arrests were made in raidsthroughout wider Toronto areaThe group had no formal links to Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda network, he added.
The arrests were made in raidsthroughout wider Toronto area
The 17 accused have been charged with participating in a terrorist group's activities; training and recruitment for the group; firearms and explosives offences; and contributing money or property for terrorist purposes.
Police exhibited items seized from a camp at an undisclosed location in Ontario purportedly used in training for forthcoming attacks, including flash lights, computers, and walkie talkies.
Local reports suggested the group had videotaped the CN Tower, one of the world's tallest structures, and the local subway, which carries some 800,000 commuters each day, but officials refused to specify the intended targets.
Group monitored
According to reports, CSIS had monitored the group since 2004 and the RCMP launched an investigation last year.
The accused were now being held at a police station in Pickering, a suburb of Toronto, and were expected to appear in court later on Saturday, officials said.
Canada's intelligence service admitted earlier this week it couldn not track down numerous domestic terror suspects and warned the country faced an increasing threat from "home-grown terrorists".
Jack Hooper, the deputy director of operations at the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, said the service was trying to keep track of "350 high-level targets" as well as 50 to 60 organisations thought to be linked to groups such as al-Qaeda.

I am new to xda-developers, so if this question is not in correct section excuse me.
So i have android box and tv app on it. app works very goods but our problem is that.
if tv is turned off, android box works anyway and stream goes, so bandwidth load goes high even if i am not watching tv.
Is there any chance to detect that if tv is off, after for example some time, android box will stop streaming or it will just shut down itself.
Thank you

L-1B: USCIS releases an L-1B adjudications policy memo on 3-24-2015 that provides guidance on the adjudication on the L-1B classification. Comments are due by 5/8/15 and the memo is effective as of 8/31/15. See http://www.usimmigration.net/images/USCIS_releases_L1_Adjudications_Memo_3-24-2015.pdf
3/13/15: District Court Finds USCIS Committed "Abuse of Discretion" By Denying H-1B Petition: The court orders USCIS to grant plaintiff's petition for H-1B status, finding that USCIS improperly determined that plaintiffs had failed to demonstrate that a part-time Health Care Manager with a bachelor's degree in management qualified for an H-1B petition. See http://www.usimmigration.net/images/Chunng_Song_JA_Corp_v_USCIS_3-13-15.pdf
Cap H1B season: USCIS has posted instructions on its website about the anticipated H1B cap filings expected this year and the usual need for an annual lottery. USCIS states: On April 1, 2015, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will begin accepting H-1B petitions subject to the fiscal year (FY) 2016 cap. U.S. businesses use the H-1B program to employ foreign workers in occupations that require highly specialized knowledge in fields such as science, engineering and computer programming. The congressionally mandated cap on H-1B visas for FY 2016 is 65,000. The first 20,000 H-1B petitions filed for individuals with a U.S. master's degree or higher are exempt from the 65,000 cap. USCIS expects to receive more petitions than the H-1B cap during the first five business days of this year's program. The agency will monitor the number of petitions received and notify the public when the H-1B cap has been met. If USCIS receives an excess of petitions during the first five business days, the agency will use a lottery system to randomly select the number of petitions required to meet the cap. USCIS will reject all unselected petitions that are subject to the cap as well as any petitions received after the cap has closed. USCIS used the lottery for the FY 2015 program last April. See http://www.uscis.gov/news/uscis-will-accept-h-1b-petitions-fiscal-year-2016-beginning-april-1-2015 Also see http://www.uscis.gov/working-united-states/temporary-workers/h-1b-specialty-occupations-and-fashion-models/h-1b-fiscal-year-fy-2016-cap-season
Visa Bulletin: April 2015: The Visa Bulletin reflected a retrogression of nearly 10 months in the EB-3 category for China, with a slight forward movement in most other visa categories. See http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/law-and-policy/bulletin/2015/visa-bulletin-for-april-2015.html

Wii U
Nintendo Wii U FAQ V1.0 ~*READ BEFORE POSTING!*~
It has been confirmed that the Wii U WILL have Friend Codes, but they will be simplified compared to the original Wii's system.
you can have 12 accounts on your console at once when you create an account the miiverse will generate a code you add your name (if its not taken) to the code. no one knows the code and when you tell your friends to search for your name the miiverse will find your code attached to it. simple and fricken freeeeeee dude.
good sticky
I hope we will soon find out when Nintendo plans on telling the world release dates of this toy for each region.
Anyone have an educated guess when we might get this information?
Canya a l'Europa del capital!
Too late i already posted
Thanks this is the first i've learned anything about the new nintendo. weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
A recap of what the Nintendo Network and Miiverse offer
Free Online Services
Weekly Discounts
Online Shop containing Virtual Console (including GCN titles), Indy, Freeware and Full Retail Titles
Cross Platform Communication with 3DS, PC, Smartphones and Tablets (at later date)
Video Chat with friends
Account System that connects 3DS eshop and Wii U eshop
Message Boards and messaging system
Achievements (will be posted on Miiverse, not mandatory)
Multiple Levels of Security*
Web Browser w/flash support, private browsing, on controller keyboard
Multimedia services including Netflix, HULU, Youtube, and Amazon
in-game access to Miiverse and Browser
Wifi Connection
Things NOT included are as follows.
Twitter of Facebook Apps**
Current Friend Code System
Multi Touch
Ethernet Port
Things hinted at.
Future services with a price (Basic service will remain free)
Full Retail Eshop Games won't be cheaper
*There are four levels of security. Parental Controls, Content Filter, Community, Human Review. Human review will never happen if the post passes the Content Filter, however, if a user is constantly reported by the Community they may be subject to automatic Human Review.
**Twitter and Facebook apps will not be implemented, and as such you can not 'Link' them for automatic updates. This does not mean you can't access the websites through the browser.
Also, Iwata has stated that the main focus of the Wii U is to "establish a trusting relationship with third party developers". This is what was done on the 3DS and Iwata claims that he wants to "further improve the situation with the Wii U".
------(Not to be confused with the Wii's "They will come on their own" quote)
Eshop Purchase options
*Directly from eShop via Credit/Debit Card
*Via purchase code you receive or purchase from someone***
*By Pre-paid download cards aquired via retailer
***Perhaps this is a hint at being able to resell digital titles?
Lastly, Iwata has currently stated that they are not concerned with being most powerful next gen, as has been stated before, and that they believe being first on the market will not give them an advantage. He says that price will be the most determined factor for success for this new console, which correlates with his previous statements that consumers shall be pleased with the price and it will not sell for a loss (the 3DSXL will also sell at profit).
The price and release date of the console will be revealed in Fall.

"If we can get the domestic heat to such a temperature, just possibly we can reach down that ladder and say, 'come on dudes, I'll give you a hand up'."
"The combination of little or no rain, extremely low humidity, strong winds and warm temperatures have made conditions ripe for a bad fire season."
"It got cold in December and stayed cold. Temperatures have been relatively warm since January, with not a lot of fluctuation. We've had a negligible number of potholes to this point. But remember, we've made a lot of improvements to our roads."
"The most temperature-sensitive products are the gas and the heating oil and that's what's moving the market."
"Wednesday night we have a chance of snow or rain and temperatures will be in the low 30s. That will continue into Thursday, but it's not going to be a big storm. It's going to be more of a nuisance - there shouldn't be any accumulation that effects anything in a negative way."

And you're also right that you pick a provider that gives you the most of what you're looking for. I've been very happy with FiOS, and they carry just about all the channels that I want in HD
Is MPEG4 even necessary?. Program the least viewed HD channels to start up as an IPTV streaming channel. It would take a second to start, it wont be instantaneous, but THESE are the less popular channels afterall.
On top of that i just read an article where directv said they hope to carry ALL HD CHANNELS ONLY by 2016 NO MORE SD CHANNELS!!!
Good luck watching them. With signal loss every time it rains there is no way I would go back to satellite. I was at my uncle's house a couple weeks ago and a thunderstorm rolled in. They lost service for at least 15-20 minutes until the storm passed, and that was in the middle of a football game. No thanks.
1GHz RF plant isn't even being discussed.....
It's either MPEG-4 or IPTV, there's no other choices. Given Verizon's absurdly slow roll out of their 26-channel IPTV solution for Xbox and we assume iPad, I'm not confident it's a solution they can use in the home.
1 recommendation
I've begun to consider that as well, the home media server concept is the wave of the future. However, we're talking far more equipment change-outs than MPEG-4 would need! Unfortunately I don't think it helps the QAM problem either.What has annoyed me was the insider info we heard here that Verizon will not be moving ANY of the existing channels, which care delivered to VZ via MPEG-4, from MPEG 2 to 4. Completely stupid.
Then the dish was aimed improperly. Yes, DirecTV is susceptible to weather, but in West Orange, a properly-aimed dish should get good signal (assuming relatively calm winds) though all but the heaviest rainstorms.

Differential modulation of corticospinal excitability during haptic sensing of 2-D patterns vs. textures

2 School of Rehabilitation Sciences, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario K1H 8M5, Canada
3 Élisabeth Bruyère Research Institute, Ottawa, Ontario K1N 5C8, Canada
BMC Neuroscience 2010, 11:149 doi:10.1186/1471-2202-11-149Published: 25 November 2010
Recently, we showed a selective enhancement in corticospinal excitability when participants actively discriminated raised 2-D symbols with the index finger. This extra-facilitation likely reflected activation in the premotor and dorsal prefrontal cortices modulating motor cortical activity during attention to haptic sensing. However, this parieto-frontal network appears to be finely modulated depending upon whether haptic sensing is directed towards material or geometric properties. To examine this issue, we contrasted changes in corticospinal excitability when young adults (n = 18) were engaged in either a roughness discrimination on two gratings with different spatial periods, or a 2-D pattern discrimination of the relative offset in the alignment of a row of small circles in the upward or downward direction.
A significant effect of task conditions was detected on motor evoked potential amplitudes, reflecting the observation that corticospinal facilitation was, on average, ~18% greater in the pattern discrimination than in the roughness discrimination.
This differential modulation of corticospinal excitability during haptic sensing of 2-D patterns vs. roughness is consistent with the existence of preferred activation of a visuo-haptic cortical dorsal stream network including frontal motor areas during spatial vs. intensive processing of surface properties in the haptic system.

Beast Mtawarira
Good news appears to suddenly be coming in clusters for the Cell C Sharks, who have followed on from their opening Vodacom Super Rugby win against the Emirates Lions with what for director of rugby Gary Gold will be a pleasing wave of important players returning to the mix.
On Sunday morning, the day after his team scored what he called a "relieving" win over the Lions, Gold received the news that the 2 Japanese clubs that backline kingpins JP Pietersen and Frans Steyn play for were both knocked out of their competition this past weekend. That means they will be back sooner rather than later, and will probably be available for the crucial game against the Stormers in Cape Town the week after next.
"I suppose it's not nice for those players to lose but it is good news for us," grinned Gold.
Then on Monday a man that Gold would really like to see in action as soon as possible as he is such an important cog in the forward machine, Willem Alberts, took part in full training for the first time. He could also be ready for the Stormers game.
Also at the 2-hour middle of the day training session on a Kings Park outerfield was Ryan Kankowski. The former Springbok No 8 is now into his 2nd week back from Japan and will be available for Saturday's clash with the Vodacom Bulls at Loftus.
The Sharks suffered a major injury scare on Saturday when Tendai Mtawarira left the field in pain, with the early diagnosis indicating a severe injury.
However, after undergoing scans on Monday, a calf tear was downgraded to a calf strain and although he will not be considered for selection for a few weeks, this does not constitute a long term injury.
"Losing an international is a big loss to any team, obviously we aren't happy about losing Tendai, but there's nothing we can do, we have to move on," said assistant coach Sean Everitt.
We are just 1 week into the Super Rugby season and there is already a lengthy list of Springboks sidelined by injury.
With captain Jean de Villiers a non-starter thanks to a knee injury which has put a question mark over his availability for the World Cup, he has been joined by Eben Etzebeth, Bismarck du Plessis, Tendai Mtawarira, Lodewyk de Jager amd Julian Redelinghuys.
Etzebeth hurt his chest in a warm-up game against the Cheetahs at Newlands, and is only expected back in the 3rd round – the 3rd consecutive year he has missed the start of the competition.
In the first week of discussion of Super Rugby squad contenders for 2015 (17 to 24 December), we will discuss 2 positions in seperate Articles (Props & Hookers) and also seperate the Articles of the 5 SA Super Rugby participating franchises.
That means 10 Super Rugby Articles every week from now on.
The basic idea is to discuss the players IN the Super Rugby Group, and not all the options beyond that.
In this Article we look at the contenders for PROPS in the Cell C Sharks 2015 Super Rugby group, and whether they could force their way into Bok contention.
The Springboks missed an ideal opportunity to put the pressure on New Zealand and Australia after the latter two sides drew 12-all in the first game of this year's Rugby Championship at the Olympic Stadium in Sydney on Saturday.
To say the unseasonal Loftus monsoon made constructive rugby extremely difficult is an understatement, but one would like to believe that the Boks should have played the situation much better than Saturday's 13-6 victory in their opener against Argentina in Pretoria.
Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer has been given a massive boost with the news that he should be able to pick as close to his strongest side for this weekend's Castle Lager Rugby Championship opener against Argentina at Loftus Versfeld.
Team doctor Craig Roberts cleared props Frans Malherbe, Tendai "Beast" Mtawarira and lock Eben Etzebeth for action and crucially also gave captain Jean de Villiers the all-clear to play this weekend after spending the last few months on the sidelines with injury.
Sharks prop Tendai "Beast" Mtawarira has revealed that he will leave the Durban-based franchise at the end of 2015.
Mtawarira confirmed that he will further his career outside of South Africa after next year's World Cup in England.
The veteran of 55 Tests with the Springboks, who has played for the Sharks since 2007, said he hopes to get a fresh challenge in Europe.
"My goals for 2015 is to help the Sharks do well in Super Rugby and to help the Springboks win the World Cup," he told the MyPlayers website.
That would be a dream come true.
Jake White believes the Sharks can win in Christchurch for the second time this season.
The Sharks beat the Highlanders 31-27 at Kings Park on Saturday to set up a semi-final showdown with the Crusaders. While the long plane trip will count against White's side, he believes they can win in Christchurch on Saturday, having done so earlier in the season when they played most of the match with 14 men.
"It's an 80-minute run and if we play well we can win, and I have to believe that," said White.
"The Highlanders flew in from the other side of the world and came within four points of beating us. They came sixth on the log and we came third."
Frans Steyn has moved into the flyhalf position with Paul Jordaan recovering from injury to take his No 12 jersey in a strong Sharks team.
Director of Rugby Jake White has named a strong side for this derby game, opting to start with a formidable side that has been the hallmark of this team throughout the competition.
Of the injured trio of Paul Jordaan, Pat Lambie and Beast Mtawarira all receiving scans this week to confirm or deny a return to rugby, it was only Jordaan who was passed fit.
He has been included alongside JP Pietersen in the midfield. Steyn takes over from Tim Swiel at flyhalf and Fred Zeilinga has been named as back-up off the bench.
Ryan Kankowski is back at No 8 after withdrawing from last week's game with a groin strain, and White has bolstered the starting line-up with three Boks who played off the bench last week, Willem Alberts, Jannie du Plessis and brother and captain Bismarck du Plessis.
Cell C Sharks director of rugby Jake White will know later on Tuesday whether he will have the services of the injured trio of Tendai Mtawarira, Patrick Lambie and Paul Jordaan for Saturday's all important final Vodacom Super Rugby league match against the DHL Stormers at Newlands.
All three players are heading back from injury and are said to now be recovered and rehabilitated, White just has to find out whether they are ready yet to take the field in a big match like the clash with the Stormers is shaping up to be. The status of flyhalf Lambie in particular will be eagerly awaited by not only White but also fans of the Durban franchise, for pivot has been problematic for the Sharks since the Springbok was injured playing against the Bulls in Pretoria in March.
As it is, Lambie has made an excellent recovery, as the initial prognosis was that his torn bicep would keep him out of the rest of the Super Rugby season. However, regardless of whether he is ready for the Newlands clash, it appears he may be ready to play a part in the knock-out games that follow.
Jake White has hinted at a bold strategy to rest his returning Springboks with the Sharks having sewn up the South African conference and guaranteed some play-off rugby already.
The Sharks have an unassailable hold on the South African Conference and cannot finish the tournament any lower than third.
However, the plan is to finish in the top two and earn a direct route to a home semifinal without having to play a qualifying knock-out match.
White has indicated that if they are to really be competitive when it matters, it may require some tactical selection policies.
Lourens Adriaanse (prop) and Stephan Lewies (lock) of the Cell C Sharks have been called up to the Springbok squad in Port Elizabeth, where they face Scotland in the final Test of the Castle Lager Incoming Series on Saturday.
Adriaanse replaces his provincial team-mate Tendai Mtawarira, who sustained an injury to his neck in last Saturday's 31-30 victory over Wales in Nelspruit.
Lewies comes into the squad for Flip van der Merwe, who injured knee ligaments late in the Welsh Test.
Both Mtawarira and Van der Merwe underwent scans in Port Elizabeth on Monday.
Should they both play on Saturday against the Crusaders, Jannie du Plessis and Tendai Mtawarira will both reach 100 Super Rugby caps for the Sharks.
With hooker Bismarck du Plessis having already achieved the feat, the Sharks front row is one of the most experienced of all time in the competition.
For Jannie du Plessis, it is a dream come true, having grown up supporting the Sharks.
In the first week of discussion of Super Rugby squad contenders for 2014 (23 to 29 December), we will discuss 2 positions in seperate Articles (Props & Hookers) and also seperate the Articles of the 5 SA Super Rugby participating franchises.
That means 10 Super Rugby Articles every week from now on.
The basic idea is to discuss the players IN the Super Rugby Group, and not all the options beyond that.
In this Article we look at the contenders for PROPS in the Cell C Sharks 2014 Super Rugby group, and whether they could force their way into Bok contention.
Springbok forwards Tendai Mtawarira and Eben Etzebeth will feature for the Barbarians against Fiji at Twickenham on 30 November 2013.
Sharks' coach John Plumtree has revealed that their 6-12 loss to the Cheetahs has come with the added cost of losing prop Tendai (the Beast) Mtawarira for a month amongst others.
Sharks and Springbok prop Tendai 'Beast' Mtawarira has been ruled out for up to three months after suffering a shin fracture during a Sharks training session on Friday morning.
The Sharks have confirmed the extension of several prominent players' contracts ahead of the upcoming Super Rugby season.
A Maori leader has backed Springbok coach Peter de Villiers' comments on the haka being overused, saying it has been "hijacked by rugby people" for commercial purposes.
PETER LOVE: "The haka in our culture is something which is regarded as special and should not be bastardised by sport."
De Villiers' comments attracted over 270 responses on Stuff.co.nz yesterday, with opinion split on whether the haka was overused.
The haka is in danger of losing respect because it is performed too often, Springboks coach Peter de Villiers says.

Alternative worlds offer advertisers alternative options.
As I wrote last month, it's time to delve deeper into the advertising opportunities that the virtual gaming world represents for confident consumer brands. Earlier this summer, Steve Rubel, who runs the blog Micropersuasion, posted a story titled "Retailer Opens Outpost in Second Life." It details how American Apparel opened its first virtual store in Second Life. Participants can buy "virtual clothes" for their avatars for what is essentially real money.
Others quickly jumped into the virtual world including Duran Duran, who will play in-world concerts; Starwood, which is beta testing its new "Aloft" hotel brand (similar to W Hotels); and Major League Baseball, which held a nearly live feed of the home run derby in a new Second Life baseball stadium.
What is Second Life? It's a virtual world and role-playing game completely owned and created by the participants. Linden Lab (located in San Francisco) created the game. In this alternate world, personalized avatars, representing each player, interact to find and create entertainment, experiences, and opportunity.
When I asked Chad Stoller, our executive director of emerging media, about the trend, he said, "Second Life and "metaverses" are moving up the list of places digital marketers want to be. Not only do these worlds give all brands the chance to connect with their constituents within a social construct, they also represent platforms where brands can enable players of the games with services, products, and experiences."
He's right. The opportunity is real and the audience is growing both, in Second Life and the World of Warcraft, the two largest metaverses. Om Malik, of GigaOm, presented growth figures on his blog for these mediums: "Former Second Life staffer Rueben Steiger crunches the numbers on Second Life's growth, and figures if the current rate of 22 percent monthly growth continues, there will be 3.6 million Second Lifers by July 2007. Slower growth, say 10 percent every month, stills bring the total number to Second Life to about 936,000 residents. GigaOM contributing writer Wagner James Au goes further and estimates by 2008, Second Life could eclipse World of Warcraft in terms of users."
According to a recent article, the Second Life audience is mostly comprised of stay-at-home mom's and young professionals, not young teens as you might think.
That explains why there are about $5.3 million in user transactions over the course of a month in Second Life. Players can purchase virtual products such as homes, real estate, clothing, accessories, game services (ie: enhancements to communication system, etc) and pay for them with real dollars via a currency system. Second Life uses "linden dollars," which players buy with real dollars to conduct business with vendors within the game. Once the vendor decides to "cash out," their linden dollars are converted back to U.S. currency (after Linden takes their fee).
But people aren't just buying goods -- they're also building viable virtual businesses that provide them with real income. In fact, according to Forbes, there are people making six and seven-figure incomes within the Second Life economy.
If Second Life was on the periphery of your marketing initiatives, as blogs or social networks might have been a year ago, it's now time to take a closer look at the opportunities and risks associated with this experiential medium.
Metaverses offer brands opportunities to:
Sign up for Second Life and take a look.

QB news out of Kentucky today. Joker Phillips has named freshman Maxwell Smith the starter, perhaps based on the high ankle sprain for veteran Morgan Newton as much as anything. Smith might have won the job anyway – He was solid last week in relief of Newton against MSU – but Newton's inability to bounce back may have made it a moot point. The interesting thing here is that if Smith struggles, Phillips may be willing to burn a redshirt for a talented freshman yet to play.

Frank Lampard suggested that he may be close to agreeing a new contract with Chelsea after the London club recorded a dramatic 2-1 win over Benfica in Amsterdam on Wednesday to win the Europa League.
Lampard's contract expires at the end of the campaign, but the 34-year-old has enjoyed a fine season and recently became Chelsea's all-time scorer after registering his 202nd and 203rd goals for the club.
Recent reports in the British media have suggested that he is close to extending his contract and after Branislav Ivanovic's stoppage-time goal gave Chelsea victory at Amsterdam Arena, he expressed hope that that would be the case.
"I really, really hope to be around next year," he told ITV after the game.
"With a game tonight and coming up we haven't sat down and signed anything, but I really hope so and things are looking good. The club have been brilliant."
Chelsea have endured a turbulent season, with their Champions League title defence ending in the group phase before they lost in the Club World Cup final to Corinthians.
They also fell in the semifinals in both the FA Cup and the League Cup, while interim manager Rafael Benitez has faced hostility from the club's fans ever since succeeding the sacked Roberto Di Matteo in November.
Wednesday's game was the club's 68th of the campaign and Lampard felt victory was a testament to his teammates' determination.
"It's been an amazing time for all of us involved. Talk about ups and downs in the last two years!" he said.
"But this is a big up. We're a group, a team, and it was tight tonight after the long season we've had.
"No-one deserves this more than Ivanovic – he has been fantastic. You make your own luck, and we stick together in this group. The club deserve it."
Chelsea's victory means that, until the Champions League final between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund on May 25, Fernando Torres will be a reigning World Cup, European Championship, Champions League and Europa League winner.
The Spaniard had put Chelsea on course for victory with a sinuous solo goal on the hour – his sixth goal of the tournament – only for Oscar Cardozo to equalise from the penalty spot in the 68th minute.
However, with extra time beckoning, Ivanovic sent a header looping over Benfica goalkeeper Artur from a Juan Mata corner to give Chelsea the trophy.
"I am very happy. It was a very tough game, and Benfica were much better in the first half," admitted Torres.
"The first half was not good enough at all. We really wanted to win this Europe League, and maybe this was going to be our only chance."
On his winning goal, Ivanovic said: "It's a great feeling for me. I think we play all season very hard and at the end of the season, we deserve it.
"This is one of the best moments in my career, to score the winning goal in a European final. It's the dream of any player. All the players, the staff and supporters deserve this trophy."
