LOS ANGELES -- When she died last month at 104, Huguette Clark was known as a reclusive heiress, a woman who resided for decades in a New York hospital surrounded by her cherished French dolls.

But when her will was filed Wednesday, the famously private Clark essentially invited the public on a future tour of her blufftop Santa Barbara, Calif., estate, where a museum is to be established for her extensive collection of paintings, musical instruments -- she owned at least one Stradivarius -- and rare books.

OGDEN -- The city council may adopt a resolution later this month asking police to hold monthly medication take-back events because of Chief Jon Greiner's reluctance to put a pharmaceutical collection box in the lobby of the Ogden Public Safety Building.

The events would be held for one year and would require the police department to provide a report on the program's success, said Bill Cook, the city council's executive director.

You are in a hurry, breezing through the store one day or skipping through web pages. Wait -- what was that? You catch a glimpse of something out of the edge of your sight and a siren lets loose in your head. Is that really what you think it is? You slow, retrace your steps and peer closer. Rub your eyes. Pinch yourself. Nope, you aren't dreaming. There, glimmering, mounted on a pedestal before your eyes is the perfect addition to your collection.

Many people have a collection of some sort, whether they realize it or not. What we collect gives a glimpse into our personalities, our interests, our idiosyncrasies.
