After unceremoniously canceling a pair of slated panels on online gaming harassment after a series of "numerous threats of on-site violence," SXSW has placed the previously rescinded panels back on the schedule. Read More: Opinion: SXSW is Wrong to Cancel Panels Due to GamerGate Fears, And May Be Hurting Itself Four days after their cancellation (and the considerable online blowback for the decision), SXSW released a statement apologizing for sending the message that "SXSW not only tolerates online harassment but condones it." The festival has announced a day-long online harassment summit set to take place at SXSW 2016, including the previously scheduled panels. The summit will include Randi Harper, Katherine Cross and Caroline Sinders from "Level Up: Overcoming Harassment in Games," as well as Perry Jones, Mercedes Carrera, and Lynn Walsh from "SavePoint: A Discussion on the Gaming Community."

2012 NBA Draft Results
Yesterday marked the day of the 2012 NBA Draft and many things happened the way they were supposed to. Anthony Davis went first overall, David Stern was booed whenever he appeared and every pick after #1 was a crapshoot. Charlotte was the first to put speculation to rest by taking Michael Kidd-Gilchrist with the second pick over Bradley Beal, Thomas Robinson and other other hopefuls.
Surprises were plentiful and present throughout the draft as well. Some highlights include Andre Drummond falling all the way to Detroit at #9, the Toronto Raptors reaching for Terrence Ross at #8, Dion Waiters taken by Cleveland at #4 and Perry Jones falling all the way to the Oklahoma City Thunder at pick #28.
In general, teams tended to draft based on need rather than on talent. I would have to say that the Thunder more than likely may have taken the ‘steal’ of the draft in Perry Jones.

While NBA fans eagerly await the outcome of the finals match up between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Miami Heat, the other 28 franchises around the league have been busy at work preparing for the upcoming NBA draft. As usual, uncertainty is the name of the game, thus making draft predictions that much more difficult. Aside from bonafide #1 pick Anthony Davis, the rest of the field is still a mixture of speculation with the #2 pick and on still a mystery. This article will try to unravel some possible scenarios, and along the way make some pretty bold predictions.
New Orleans Hornets – Anthony Davis - Needs: Franchise player - There probably is not a franchise in the league with greater feelings of hope. After Wednesday dumping of Emeka Okafor and Trevor Ariza, the Hornets made a bold statement of their future plans. There really is no doubt who the Hornets will take in this upcoming draft,...

Buzz Bissinger received a torrent of abuse for saying the NBA's popularity is declining without white superstars. Now comes Jimmer Fredette, who's dominating March Madness chatter not because he's the best-but because he's white.
A couple of weeks ago I wrote a column about the specter of race in the National Basketball Association. I said the league's popularity was being affected because some white fans were turned off to a game in which there was not a single white American superstar.

It was not pretty. Most of the cuts have healed except for the one on my elbow.
I fervently believe what I wrote. There was supporting evidence I should have put in but did not because a column is an opinion and space isn't unlimited at The Daily Beast. I have since discovered more compelling evidence.
