Anyone searching for clues about the enduring popularity of Sherlock Holmes need not look only to his headquarters on London's Baker Street.
Deep in an underground cavern at the University of Minnesota lies the world's largest collection of Holmes memorabilia - a cache sure to expand with material from the new "Sherlock Holmes" movie starring Robert Downey Jr. as the pipe-puffing super sleuth.
To many, it's a mystery how this trove of tens of thousands of books, toys, games, posters and recordings - from copies of the Holmes stories owned by the last empress of Russia to an original manuscript page of "The Hound of the Baskervilles" - ended up at a Midwestern university, half a world away from the foggy London streets of Holmes and his creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
The answer is elementary, according to Tim Johnson, curator of special collections and rare books at the University of Minnesota Libraries: A "happy series of accidents" involving a retired university librarian, a Nobel Prize laureate and a Holmes fan who took a "vacuum cleaner" approach to collecting.
The Holmes collection in Minnesota has between 15,000 and 16,000 volumes, and other pieces bring the archive to 60,000 or more, Johnson said. They are kept in a cavern, fitted out for storage, about 85 feet below ground at the Elmer L. Andersen Library, where temperatures and humidity are controlled.
Nickelodeon has handed out a 26-episode pickup to veteran animated series "SpongeBob SquarePants." The new order brings the total number of episodes for the series to 178. The pickup comes on the heels of the SpongeBob "Truth or Square" 10th anniversary special, which drew 7.7 million total viewers on November 6.
The producers for French rocker Johnny Hallyday have canceled the final leg of a concert tour following his hospitalization.
Hallyday, who is France's biggest rock star, was hospitalized last week in Los Angeles following complications from an operation performed on his back in November. Doctors awakened him Tuesday after several days in a medically induced coma.
In a statement Wednesday, his producers said medical experts found 66-year-old Hallyday "temporarily indisposed" and they were canceling the remaining concerts.
Hallyday was set to resume his "Route 66" tour January 8, with shows in France through Feb. 13. The statement said those with tickets to the canceled concerts will be reimbursed.
Metallica frontman James Hetfield is donating 330 acres overlooking California's Lucas Valley for preservation as farmland.
The Marin County Board of Supervisors unanimously accepted the donation Tuesday. It follows Hetfield's earlier gift to the county of more than 400 acres for open space. Both plots of land are around Hetfield's home.
County officials say they are close to a deal with Hetfield that would reroute a hiking trail that crosses his property. The project is expected to cost the county more than $200,000.
Hetfield recently constructed a fence to block use of the trail.

The Star Wars film empire's attempt to strike back against one of the originators of the evil Stormtroopers failed at the Court of Appeal today.
Three judges dismissed an appeal by the US film-makers to stop a British prop designer selling replicas from his studio in Twickenham, south west London.
George Lucas, the creator of the blockbusting sci-fi series, took Andrew Ainsworth to the High Court last year in a multimillion-pound battle.
But a judge ruled that the suits were not covered by copyright law because they were not works of art and a £10 million damages award in the US courts against the designer, who helped manufacture the helmets and suits for the first film in 1977, could not be enforced in the UK.
The FBI has arrested a New York man indicted for illegally distributing pirated copies of the movie "X-Men Origins: Wolverine."
FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller says in a statement that Gilberto Sanchez was arrested at his Bronx home early Wednesday without incident. The 47-year-old Sanchez was indicted Dec. 10 by a Los Angeles federal grand jury for violation of federal copyright law.
He's expected to appear Wednesday before a U.S. magistrate judge in New York.
The indictment, unsealed after Wednesday's arrest, says Sanchez uploaded the copyrighted "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" to an Internet site last spring. He faces a possible three years in prison and a $250,000 fine, or twice the gross gain or gross loss attributable to the offense, whichever is greater.

Roy E. Disney, the nephew of Walt Disney whose powerful behind-the-scenes influence on The Walt Disney Co. led to the departure of former chief Michael Eisner, has died. He was 79.
Although he generally stayed out of the spotlight, Roy Disney didn't hesitate to lead a successful campaign in 1984 to oust Walt Disney's son-in-law after concluding he was leading the company in the wrong direction.
Nearly 20 years later, he launched another successful shareholders revolt, this time against Eisner, the man he'd helped bring in after the previous ouster.
Born in 1930, Roy Disney had practically grown up with the company. His uncle Walt Disney and his father, Roy O. Disney, had co-founded the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio seven years before, later renaming it The Walt Disney Co.
While Walt was the company's creative genius, his brother was the one in charge of the company's finances.
Starting in the 1950s, the younger Roy Disney worked for years in the family business as an editor, screenwriter and producer. Two short films he worked on were nominated for Academy Awards: the 1959 "Mysteries of the Deep," which he wrote, was nominated as best live action short, and the 2003 film "Destino," which he co-produced, was nominated as best animated short.
Despite his heritage, Roy Disney never got the chance to lead the company. But as an investor who grew his Disney stock into a billion-dollar fortune, he had a huge impact on the company's destiny.
Born in Los Angeles on Jan. 10, 1930, Roy Edward Disney was Roy and Edna Disney's only child. As an adult, he bought a castle in Ireland and indulged his passion for yacht racing, setting several speed records.
He was also an active philanthropist, supporting the California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, a school founded by his father and uncle.
In 1999, he matched a gift from The Walt Disney Co. to establish an experimental theater space as part of the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles.
