It's easy for us to go shopping for a refurbished Nintendo handheld at stores and auction houses, but not if we're looking for a huge bargain: small discounts and dodgy quality often make it wiser to buy new instead. Nintendo has just offered us some better reasons to scrimp and save by quietly offering both the DSi XL and 3DS through its refurb shop. The used (and occasionally bruised) systems respectively start at $100 and $130, or $30 and $40 less than they'd normally cost -- enough to justify splurging on a game or two. While the selection is currently scarce, we'll set that qualm aside when everything gets the same year-long warranty as a new unit. About the only debate left is whether or not we're looking for a dedicated game machine in the first place.
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) ? Stephen Curry shook off a sore left ankle to score 22 of his 31 points in the third quarter, leading the Golden State Warriors past the Denver Nuggets 115-101 on Sunday night for a commanding 3-1 series lead.
Curry shot 10 of 16 from the floor and added seven assists in a dominant and dazzling display that rivaled his days in the NCAA tournament for tiny Davidson. His five 3-pointers in the third quarter lifted Golden State to a 20-point lead and its third straight victory in this frenetic and flashy series.
Jarrett Jack added 21 points and nine assists and Andrew Bogut broke out in the first half with 12 points and five rebounds for the sixth-seeded Warriors, who can close out the Nuggets in Game 5 on Tuesday night in Denver.
Ty Lawson scored 26 points and Andre Iguodala had 19 for the third-seeded Nuggets.
The Warriors lost All-Star forward David Lee to a season-ending hip injury in Game 1, and Curry sprained his left ankle late in Game 2. With Curry carrying the load anyway, none of it has seemed to matter.
The quick-shooting point guard hit 5 of 8 from beyond the arc in a spectacular third quarter, when nearly every gold-shirt wearing fan in the sellout crowd of 19,596 stood and cheered. Curry scored all 22 points in the final 6:22 of the quarter, showing the kind of range that helped him make 272 3-pointers in the regular season ? three more than Ray Allen's record set in 2005-06 with Seattle.
Curry capped his remarkable run with two of his most highlight-reel plays.
He stole the ball from Lawson, stopped in heavy traffic and dropped in a 27-footer before sprinting all the way to the bench high-fiving and chest-bumping teammates. Following a timeout, Curry sprung free near Denver's bench for a corner 3 that gave Golden State a 91-72 lead entering the fourth.
Curry's five 3s in the quarter were a Warriors record for a half.
Curry, wearing heavy tape around his nagging ankle, gave fans a scare when Corey Brewer poked Curry in the eye going for a rebound early in the fourth. Curry returned about 4? minutes later, receiving another standing ovation from the home fans.
While Curry scored only seven points in the first half, Bogut broke out in a big way to provide the one-two punch Golden State had long envisioned.
The 7-footer from Australia sliced down a wide open lane off a pick-and-roll with Curry in the first quarter, took one dribble and dunked over JaVale McGee with a thunderous right-handed slam. Bogut, who received a technical foul in Game 3 for daring Denver's big man to punch him on the chin during a face-to-face altercation, stared back at McGee while backpedalling down court.
In the second quarter, Bogut backed down Kosta Koufos before hammering home another dunk. He also soared high for a backdoor alley-oop from Curry to help the Warriors go ahead 45-37, and chants of "Bogut! Bogut!" echoed around the arena while the video board kept replaying his dunks.
Bogut sat out the final 4:37 of the first half with three fouls, and Andre Miller almost single-handily brought Denver back within a point. Then Curry hit his first 3-pointer of the game ? officially a 27-footer that seemed closer to the scorer's table than the arc ? as Golden State scored the last 11 points before the break to go ahead 56-44.
After falling behind by 15 early in the third quarter, the Nuggets started to rally behind their point guard.
Lawson, who scored a career-playoff high 35 points in the Game 3 loss, shook off a slow start to highlight a 14-4 run that sliced Golden State's lead to 62-58 midway through the third quarter. Just when it seemed they might crawl back, Curry countered with a devastating blow to Denver's playoff hopes.
NOTES: For the third straight game, Warriors coach Mark Jackson listed Carl Landry at power forward in his starting lineup submitted before the game, even though Harrison Barnes started at power forward and Landry came off the bench. Jackson said beforehand that he'd do it again because "it worked." Nuggets coach George Karl said it's not what coaches typically do but joked that Jackson is "consistent" and maybe "superstitious." ... Jackson's wife, Desiree Coleman Jackson, sang the national anthem.

SARAJEVO (Reuters) - A Bosnian court on Sunday ordered that the president of the country's autonomous Muslim-Croat federation and four other officials be detained for a month after prosecutors said they took bribes to arrange pardons for convicts.
Federation President Zivko Budimir was arrested on Friday along with 19 others in the most high-profile anti-corruption drive in Bosnia since independence more than two decades ago.
In handing out the month-long detentions, the court said it believed that both Budimir and his co-accused aide Petar Barisic might try to flee the country because they held Croatian passports, a court spokeswoman said.
She added that the three other officials were being held because the court was concerned they could obstruct the investigation and influence accomplices and witnesses.
Lawyers for the accused said they would appeal against Sunday's ruling.
Budimir's Party of Justice and Trust condemned what it called "meddling in politics by the state prosecution" and described his arrest as a "a show of strength put on for the sake of the public."
The arrest of Budimir, who holds top executive powers, looks likely to exacerbate a political crisis that blew up last year when he refused to approve a government reshuffle and the appointment of judges to the constitutional court.
The police said 10 government officials were among the 20 people arrested on Friday. Several of the others were suspected drug traffickers with alleged links to officials.
Under a U.S.-brokered peace deal to end the 1992-95 war, Bosnia was split into two autonomous regions joined by a relatively weak central government - the federation and the Serb Republic - each of which enjoys a high degree of autonomy.

Do any you guys care about cms, or work with it? Does it seem like more people are choosing joomla over drupal? Do you have any idea why?
Thanks,

:-)

Most people are choosing Wordpress. I think a few people are choosing Joomla because it seems a little simpler than Drupal at first, but most people, like me, knows that Drupal is the shit.
Do you have any stats?
(AFAIK part of the Renoise website is built on Drupal.)

I have no stats, I know an IT person for a big university, who volunteered a little time, and a team to do a website for a group I'm involved with, and they choose joomla, and I've been scratching my head, trying to figure out why they chose joomla over drupal. Anyways, I guess I will have to ask him, when I see him...
But now I am bothered to help create upload content and stuff, for this joomla site... the site looks great, and I don't know.. I'm checking out joomla, in a local install in web matrix right now, and I am not sure if I, "love it, or hate it."

Yes. My experience is that amateurs endorse Joomla because there are better pre-made themes for it. Its learning threshold is a little lower, but Drupal is clearly more thought-thru.

I gotcha, and that's why the joomla site they built is so screwed up on mobile, and will continue to be. Damn, they are not going to rebuild in drupal, and neither am I. However, I will continue with drupal, for some personal stuff I'm doing.
Thanks so much

I really like ProcessWire and use it all the time. It feels like "Drupal lite" in some ways, but it's extremely powerful and the API is very simple--patterned after jQuery. The author knows Drupal pretty well. His CMS has also attracted lots of former MODx users.
It's not really for the pre-made theme crowd, though.
