LOS ANGELES (AP) — The “Holy Grail of baseball cards,” the famous 1909 Honus Wagner tobacco card once owned by hockey great Wayne Gretzky, has sold for a record-setting $2.35 million, the seller of the card said Monday.
The buyer has only been identified as a Southern California collector. SCP Auctions Inc., a company that holds sports memorabilia auctions, said it bought a small share of the card. It is scheduled to be shown at a news conference at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday.
There are about 60 of the tobacco cards in existence featuring the Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop, one of the first five players to be inducted in Baseball’s Hall of Fame.
The seller, Brian Seigel, in 2000 paid a then-record $1,265,000 for the prize card, which is in much better shape than the others.
“This particular one was preserved in spectacular condition,” said Joe Orlando, president of Professional Sports Authenticator of Newport Beach — the company that certified the authenticity of the card. “It’s the Holy Grail of baseball cards
Still, the Wagner cards are so rare that even tattered ones will sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars, Seigel said.
The others “you could stick in middle of the street and let cars drive over it through the day, take it in your hand and crumple it up, and it still would be a $100,000 card,” said Seigel, CEO of Emerald Capital LLC, an asset management company, who lives in Las Vegas.
Gretzky and Bruce McNall, former owner of the Los Angeles Kings, bought the card for $451,000 in 1991.
During his ownership of the card, Seigel displayed it at several sports collectible shows, showed it at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum and at brought it to opening bell ceremonies for the NASDAQ stock exchange in New York.
“The Wagner card gave me a tremendous amount of pride, excitement and pleasure,” he said. “I hope the new owner will have the same satisfaction I enjoyed over the years.”
The tobacco cards used to be included in packs of cigarettes. Collectors believe Wagner’s cards are rare because he stopped allowing the American Tobacco Co. to use his image, fearing it would encourage children to smoke.
Nicknamed the “Flying Dutchman,” Wagner was the National League batting champion in eight of his 21 seasons and finished his career with a lifetime .329 average. He retired in 1917 with more hits, runs, RBIs, doubles, triples steals than any National League player.

New Delhi, Feb 26: The Supreme Court Monday termed as “a serious matter” the allegation that the CBI had deliberately withheld information on detention of Bofors payoffs accused Ottavio Quattrocchi in Argentina and asked the government to file its reply on this in a week’s time.
“It is a serious matter and we hope the government is also seriously viewing it,” a bench headed by justice C K Thakker observed while directing the Union government to file its reply and status report on the matter within a week.
The bench passed the direction after briefly hearing the petitioner advocate Ajay Agarwal who in an application sought direction to the Centre for filing a status report on the steps taken for the Italian businessman’s extradition.
Accusing the CBI of deliberately withholding the information of Quattrocchi’s detention in Argentina, Agarwal complained that the action of the investigating agency amounted to contempt of court.
He submitted that though Quattrocchi was detained at Iguazu International Airport in Buenos Aires on February six on the basis of a “Red Corner Notice” issued by the Interpol at the behest of the CBI, the investigating agency has avoided any steps to seek his extradition.

Prevented by law from suing Wikipedia, pro-golfer Fuzzy Zoeller is suing the owner of an IP address from where allegedly defamatory remarks were posted onto Wikipedia alleging that he abused drugs, alcohol and his family in what could set a precedent for online defamation cases.
The offending paragraphs allegedly slandering Zoeller’s name were posted on December 20 2006, and have now been removed, but not before they were discovered, with Fuzzy Zoeller being named as ‘John Doe’ in the legal action that has subsequently been initiated to clear his name.
The IP address of the posts was traced back to education consulting firm Josef Silny & Associates of Miami, although Mr Silny says he is surprised that the complaint originated from his computer systems and doesn’t know who at his company might have made the offending Wikipedia posts.
Wikipedia is the encyclopedia that anyone can edit, although following previous instances where Wikipedia entries were defaced and edited with potentially defamatory information, with people previously affected by inaccurate Wikipedia entries including John Seigenthaler, a former assistant to Robert Kennedy, who was falsely accused of being a suspected participant in the assassinations of the Kennedy brothers, along with US politicians who have had their Wikipedia entries besmirched.
Following these incidents, security was beefed up to prevent these kinds of things from happening in the future. However despite the security upgrades which see some pages locked completely, users who earn the right to access files are still able to change pages that have remained unlocked, making the Wikipedia encyclopedia vulnerable to such defamation attacks or other inaccurate information.
According to the Associated Press, the following statement comes from paragraph 11 of the lawsuit and includes the alleged remarks: “Later (Mr. Doe) went public with his alcoholism and prescription drug addiction, explaining that at the time he made those statements, he was ‘in the process of polishing off a fifth of Jack (Daniels) after popping a handful of Vicodin pills’.”
The statement continues that: “He further detailed the violent nature of his disease, recalling how he’d viciously beat his wife Dianne and their four children while under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol. He also admitted feigning a ruptured spinal disc in 1985 so as to be prescribed a multitude of prescription medication. He has since sought professional help and mended his fractured familial relationships. In May 2006, (Mr. Doe) said in a interview with Golf Digest magazine that he hadn’t beaten his wife in nearly five years.”
These paragraphs have now been removed from Zoeller’s Wikipedia entry, with Silny mystified and engaging a computer consultant to conduct an internal investigation, while Wikipedia claim not to have been informed of the case until it hit the media.
Zoeller was previously the subject of embarrassment over remarks towards Tiger Woods, which cost him endorsement deals at the time, with Wikipedia listing the reported comments from the 1997 Masters regarding the championship dinner as:“Tell him not to serve fried chicken next year. Got it? … or collard greens or whatever the hell they serve”, which was reported to have the potential of being construed as racially discriminatory.

MARANA, Ariz. (AP) — One easy way to keep track of the Accenture Match Play Championship is to look at the practice range.
It was packed on Wednesday, with 64 small sections of divots left by the world’s best players. By Thursday afternoon, the range was practically a ghost town as the field was cut down to 16 players after two rounds.
Tiger Woods was on the far left end, dressed in black, ominous as ever.
All the other top players were gone.
Going for his eighth straight PGA Tour victory in a tournament that might be the toughest to win, Woods barreled into the third round with another short day of work. This time the victim was Tim Clark of South Africa, recovering from a neck injury and playing his first tournament since late October. Woods was 5 up through six holes and never reached the 15th tee, winning 5 and 4
“I played better than I did yesterday, which is great,” Woods said. “I’ve won before in amateur golf and junior golf, won by a large margin, but didn’t play well. You don’t feel very good going to the next match.”
But he sure felt better than Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and the other players among the top eight seeds.
They’re going home.
Jim Furyk, the No. 2 seed, was 2 up with four holes to play until Chad Campbell birdied the 15th, rolled in an 18-foot birdie on the 18th to force extra holes, then two-putted for birdie to win on the 19th. It was the seventh time Furyk has played this tournament, and he still hasn’t reached the weekend.
Fourth-seeded Phil Mickelson also made an early exit, but not without some dramatic moments. Lefty made six birdies, gave away four holes with bogeys, but this match came down to a par.
Justin Rose was 1 up on the 15th hole when he pulled his tee shot into the desert brush, with no option but to pitch out backward. He had an 8-iron from 167 yards before Mickelson hit his second with a wedge. By all accounts, the match looked like it would be all square with three holes remaining, especially after Mickelson two-putted from 35 feet for par.
But as he stood on the side of the green, mentally rehearsing how to play the par-3 16th, he watched in stunned silence as Rose’s par putt dropped on the final turn. The hole is halved in pars. Rose, 1 up.
“It looked like all I had to do was make par and the match would be even,” Mickelson said. “That hurt the most.”
His plan was to hit first on the par-3 16th to the middle of the green, away from what he called a “carnival” pin cut atop a slope that fed off the green in two directions. Rose did the honors, and Mickelson felt he had to go after the flag. His 9-iron was about 10 feet long, enough to tumble off the green.
His next-to-impossible chip hit the hole, but trickled off the front of the green. His 25-foot par putt caught the lip and stayed out. And when Mickelson failed to birdie the par-5 17th, he removed his visor and conceded the match.
It was the first time in five years he failed to get to the third round.
Why not play it safe on the 16th and take his chances on the final two holes?
“The 17th was a hole we both would probably birdie,” Mickelson said. “And I didn’t want to leave it up to 18.”
Retief Goosen was the No. 6 seed against Niclas Fasth and knew he was in for a fight when the slow-paced Swede made two eagles in the first 10 holes, building a 3-up lead. Goosen won the next three holes, and Fasth looked like he might collapse when he missed three straight birdie putts inside 10 feet.
Fasth finally made birdie from the bunker on the par-5 17th, holing a 4-foot putt, then held on for a 1-up victory.
Vijay Singh (No. 7) was 2 down through 12 holes, but must have felt he had an advantage. In three years and four matches, it was the first time Stephen Ames had even reached the 13th hole, having lost big twice (7 and 6 to Mark Hensby, 9 and 8 to Tiger Woods) and won his opening match Wednesday by an 8-and-7 margin.
Singh birdied the last two holes to force overtime, but Ames spoiled the Fijian’s 44th birthday with a birdie on the 19th hole.
After two days, Woods was right where he wanted to be — still in the tournament. And suddenly, his path to an eighth straight PGA Tour victory looked as easy as the first two matches he won.
Even so, Woods knows not to look too far ahead.
Next up is Nick O’Hern, a short but straight-hitting Australian who beat Woods in the second round two years ago at La Costa. Still in Woods’ side of the bracket is Henrik Stenson, who won in Dubai earlier this month when Woods finished two shots behind. Another winner was Trevor Immelman, the last player to win a PGA Tour event that Woods played — the Western Open last July.
And as well as Woods has played for two rounds — he is one of five players who has never trailed this week — there’s always tomorrow.
“I’ve never played a match play event where all six rounds I’ve played great golf,” he said. “You’re going to have one or two rounds where you’re not going to play well. You’ve just got to get through those matches. Sometimes you do, sometimes you don’t.”

WELLINGTON, New Zealand - A fishing crew has caught a colossal squid that could weigh a half-ton and prove to be the biggest specimen ever landed, a fisheries official said Thursday.
The squid, weighing an estimated 990 lbs and about 39 feet long, took two hours to land in Antarctic waters, New Zealand Fisheries Minister Jim Anderton said.
The fishermen were catching Patagonian toothfish, sold under the name Chilean sea bass, south of New Zealand “and the squid was eating a hooked toothfish when it was hauled from the deep,” Anderton said.
The fishing crew and a fisheries official on board their ship estimated the length and weight of the squid: Detailed, official measurements have not been made. The date when the colossus was caught also was not disclosed.
Colossal squid, known by the scientific name Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni, are estimated to grow up to 46 feet long and have long been one of the most mysterious creatures of the deep ocean.
If original estimates are correct, the squid would be 330 pounds heavier than the next biggest specimen ever found.
“I can assure you that this is going to draw phenomenal interest. It is truly amazing,” said Dr. Steve O’Shea, a squid expert at the Auckland University of Technology. If calamari rings were made from the squid they would be the size of tractor tires, he added.
Colossal squid can descend to 6,500 feet and are extremely active, aggressive hunters, he said.
The frozen squid will be transported to New Zealand’s national museum, Te Papa, in the capital, Wellington, to be preserved for scientific study.
Marine scientists “will be very interested in this amazing creature as it adds immeasurably to our understanding of the marine environment,” Anderton said.
Colossal squid are found in Antarctic waters and are not related to giant squid found round the coast of New Zealand. Giant squid grow up to 39 feet long, but are not as heavy as colossal squid.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Britney Spears has entered a rehabilitation center, her spokesman said on Tuesday, after the troubled pop star’s recent wild ways escalated this weekend to a bizarre incident in which she shaved her own head.
“Britney Spears has voluntarily checked herself into an undisclosed rehab facility today,” publicist Larry Rudolph said in a statement. “We ask that the media respect her privacy as well as those (privacy concerns) of her family and friends at this time.”
Rudolph did not elaborate on the treatment Spears was seeking or where the facility was located — though People magazine and TMZ.com both reported that it was in Los Angeles and that the 25-year-old singer checked in at the urging of family members.
Since her split with husband Kevin Federline in November after two years of marriage, Spears has raised eyebrows with heavy partying, sometimes with celebrity heiress Paris Hilton, and a series of pictures that caught the Grammy-winning entertainer wearing no panties under her short skirts.
This January, Spears posted an impassioned letter to her fans on her official Web site (www.britneyspears.com) in which she acknowledged that her image had taken a beating and pledged to come back “bigger and better than ever.”
But on Friday reports swirled that Spears, a former child star who exploded onto the pop scene as a teenager and has since sold 70 million albums, had entered rehab on the Caribbean island of Antigua, only to drop out 24 hours later.
Later that evening she was spotted at a hair salon in Los Angeles, shaving her own head in pictures that made headlines around the world. She followed that up with a trip to a tattoo parlor and on Sunday night she was photographed heading into a West Hollywood night club wearing an ill-fitting blonde wig.
Her Web site has been taken down and replaced with a message saying that a new one was in the works.
After she filed for divorce, Federline quickly sought custody of the couple’s two young sons Sean Preston and James Jayden, claiming that he needed to “safeguard” them.
Child welfare authorities visited Spears twice in 2006 after she was photographed driving a car with her infant son on her lap, and after Sean Preston fell from a high chair and hit his head. No charges were brought.
Since early in her career, Spears has generated as much attention for her personal life as for her music, including a highly publicized romance and break-up with singer Justin Timberlake.
Spears famously pledged in 1999 to keep her virginity intact until her wedding day but gradually shed that image as she grew in popularity, assuming a more overtly sexual persona known for provocative costumes and stage performances.

The foreign ministers of India and Pakistan vowed today to continue with peace talks following the bombing of a train service linking the two countries claimed the lives of 68 passengers.
Khursheed Mehmood Kasuri, Pakistan’s foreign minister, arrived in Delhi and drove, under heavy security, to the main hospital to talk to victims. Mr Kasuri’s visit came hours after his Indian equivalent, Pranab Mukherjee, had toured the same wards where a dozen Pakistanis - including a baby girl and her parents - are being treated.
At an impromptu press conference outside the hospital, Mr Kasuri said the attack would only add “to the urgency of the need for cooperation” between the two nuclear-armed neighbours.
According to Indian diplomats, the talks, which were to be about the revival of a joint commission on science and education dormant for 24 years, will now focus on the terrorism affecting both countries.
Indian police released the sketches of two men who had apparently leapt from the train minutes before the two bombs exploded on Sunday night. Both had argued with railway police claiming they wanted to go to the western state of Gujarat, not Lahore in Pakistan.
It is becoming increasingly clear that security at Delhi railway station was far from adequate. More than a dozen passengers made it to the Pakistani side of Atari without passports and television channels reported that travel document checks were easily evaded on Sunday night.
Pakistan’s railway minister, Sheikh Rashid Ahmed, criticised the Indian authorities, irritating New Delhi by saying he was still waiting for a list of the dead and calling for a joint investigation. He also said that a C-130 transport plane and a special train were ready to bring bodies back to Pakistan.
However Mr Kasuri praised India’s medical treatment and said that Delhi had agreed to share the results of its investigation.
Significantly, Pakistan’s foreign minister referred to the train bombing as “unfortunate criminal activity”, a riposte to Indian analysts who have been quick to see the bombings as the work of Pakistani-based “jihadi” groups.
Speaking to television reporters Mr Kasuri refused to speculate on the identity of the bombers. “Why should I prejudge the investigation that the government of India is undertaking?”

• Claims that search engine advised illicit websites
• Row follows fears about You Tube’s content
Andrew Clark in New York
The Guardian
America’s biggest media companies have accused Google of knowingly encouraging copyright theft by suggesting to illegal movie download sites that they place adverts to appear in response to search terms such as “pirated” and “bootleg”.
Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation, Viacom, Walt Disney and Time Warner are among a group of leading television and film producers that has complained about a lack of controls at Google.
Their anger centers on a case going through the courts in New York state surrounding five defunct movie download websites with names such as TheDownloadPlace.com, MoviesAdvance.com and EasyDownloadCenter.com.
Run until last year by two 26-year olds in Missouri, the sites allowed users to download Hollywood hits such The Incredibles, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Meet the Fockers and Mr. & Mrs. Smith in their entirety.
Legal documents allege that Google accepted adverts and endorsed “sponsored links” from the websites’ operators, Brandon Drury and Luke Sample. The company even offered credit on payments from the duo.
Google is accused of suggesting to the pair that their adverts appear when people enter various movie titles on its search page - or when terms are entered such as “bootleg movie download”, “pirated” and “download Harry potter movie”.
The row is a sign of deteriorating relations between media companies and Google. For months television companies and film studios have been struggling to agree deals to control the way their content is used on You Tube - the video-sharing site acquired by Google last year.
Google’s main source of income is a fee paid by advertisers whenever anyone clicks on a sponsored link. The company routinely helps clients choose suitable search terms to prompt their links.
The firm, which trades under the slogan “don’t be evil”, assured the media companies on Friday that it would tighten its systems to prevent a recurrence of sponsored links to bootlegging sites.
A Google spokesman said: “We prohibit advertisers from using our advertising program to promote the sale of copyright-infringing materials. Hundreds of thousands of advertisers responsibly abide by our ad content policies and we’re committed to preventing those who don’t from using our program.”
The broader question of controlling content on Google’s network of websites remains contentious. You Tube users routinely upload clips from popular shows.
News Corp’s Fox network last month got tough with You Tube by filing a subpoena demanding the name of a subscriber who posted entire episodes of the television series 24 and The Simpsons on the site. You Tube has since complied.
The media firms would prefer to use You Tube as a shop window offering a controlled selection of tasters from their movies and television shows.
In a step towards such control, News Corp’s MySpace social networking site yesterday announced plans to block unauthorized music and videos using technology from a company called Audible Magic. The software allows MySpace to compare uploads with a database of copyrighted material and to block content that shows a match.
In a pilot, MySpace intends to use the technology to filter out any clips by Universal Music’s roster of artists - which includes the Black Eyed Peas, Miss Dynamite and Snow Patrol.
Steve Weinstein, an analyst at Pacific Crest Securities, said neither the media firms nor Google wanted to get into the kind of bitter copyright face-off that led to the downfall of the once ubiquitous music sharing site Napster. But he said a solution to the problem was elusive: “The studios don’t know and Google doesn’t know how best to make this work yet.”
Back story
Downloading films has never been easier, thanks to the sheer number of services available. The most prominent is BitTorrent. Users download software and find a “tracker” site which tells them where the movies they are looking for are stored. Despite some high-profile closures, web services continue to act with impunity. One of the most famous is The Pirate Bay, run by a Swedish group that believes copyright is wrong. After police raids, it announced that it was raising funds to buy its own island.

| Houston, Feb 18 (PTI) An Indian American professor of electrical and computer engineering at Louisiana State University has claimed to have solved Einstein’s twin paradox, known as one of the most enduring puzzles of modern-day physics.
First suggested by Albert Einstein more than 100 years ago, the paradox deals with the effects of time in the context of travel at near the speed of light.
Einstein originally used the example of two clocks - one motionless, one in transit. The paradox has been described using the analogy of twins: If one twin is placed on a spacecraft traveling near the speed of light while the other twin remains earthbound, the unmoved twin would have aged dramatically compared with his interstellar sibling.
“I solved the paradox by incorporating a new principle within the relativity framework that defines motion not in relation to individual objects, such as the two twins with respect to each other, but in relation to distant stars,” said the scientist Subhask Kak.
In his work, he uses probabilistic relationships to assume that general properties of the universe do not vary by location. His formula completes attempts by others, as well as Einstein himself.
Professor Kak, who hails from Jammu and Kashmir, is currently Delaune Distinguished Professor of Electrical Engineering and Professor in the Asian Studies and Cognitive Science Programs at LSU, Baton Rouge.
Kak said the implications of his resolution will be widespread, generally enhancing the scientific community`s comprehension of relativity and possibly impacting quantum communications. PTI

New Delhi, Feb 17: UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi laid the foundation stone of a new integrated terminal (Terminal 3) and runway at the Indira Gandhi International Airport here today.
Sonia was accompanied by Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel on the occasion.
In its first phase, the airport will be capable of handling 37 million passengers per annum (mppa). The airport is being designed with an ultimate capacity of 100 mppa.
With the addition of the third runway, one of the longest in Asia, the airport would be capable of handling new generation ‘A380′ aircraft.
It will have 130 check-in counters, 74 aerobridges, automated passenger movers, and a high-speed train connection to the city.
Besides, it will also have 30 remote stands with a potential for parking 200 aircraft and multi-level car parking for 4300 cars.
The two-tier terminal building will feature the departure complex on the upper level and the arrivals on the lower level.
Passengers will greatly benefit as check-in and security clearances will be faster and less obtrusive. For international passengers, more than 70 desks will facilitate emigration procedures.
Besides, passengers will also be able to avail a host of facilities like a wide variety of restaurants, shopping and duty-free complexes and a range of other leisure facilities.
Business travellers will be able to utilise the most modern communication equipment at the business centre and relax or conduct meetings in the executive lounges. The airport will also have a small hotel for passengers.
In 2010, all international and full service domestic carriers will operate from Terminal 3.
Access to the new terminal will be via a six-lane road connecting to National Highway 8. The Airport will also be connected via dedicated Metro line. This line is being part funded by Delhi International Airport (P) Ltd (DIAL).
DIAL is a joint venture company, consisting of GMR Group, Airports Authority of India, Fraport, Eraman Malaysia and India Development Fund. It is working towards the modernisation and restructuring of the Delhi Airport.
It is estimated that the passenger traffic at Delhi airport will rise to 46.2 million per year by 2015 and touch 80 million per year by 2025.
At present, Delhi airport ranks among the world’s worst airports but caters to 11 domestic and 53 international airlines. In 2005-06, it handled 10.47 million domestic and 5.77 million international passengers.
