While this isn't exactly Arnold news, and we are 250 miles away, but for those of you who follow American Idol, David Cook is back in the Kansas City area today visiting his hometown of Blue Springs.

As part of next weeks upcoming show, the three finalists are returning to their hometowns for a celebration that is being taped by FOX. David is currently (as of 7:30 a.m.) visiting the FOX news station. At 3:30 David will be participating in a short parade that will take him to his alma mater, Blue Springs South High School. He will arrive at the school at 4:00 p.m. and do a performance at the football stadium. The tickets for this event were free but a donation of $5.00 was requested to go to the American Cancer Society.  There were 10,000 tickets given out for this "homecoming" and were gone in less than 2 hours and I have one of them!!! The city is expecting upwards of 20,000 people in attendance for this event.

If you are a David Cook fan and have a few hours to spare, come on out to Blue Springs and cheer your idol on. There are people coming from all over the Midwest.

I will be teaching my final class for the season on Wednesday May 14th at 6PM.  The class is titled 'Marketing Your Business Website'. 

Do you wonder why your website isn’t listed on Yahoo! or other search engines? Are you clueless about search marketing techniques that can draw customers to your site?

Each class below is a one-time event that will cover topics such as Search Engine Optimization (SEO), online advertising tips and avenues, along with ways to increase your website traffic along with other offline marketing ideas.

Suggested prerequisites include: a business website (currently or planned), knowledge of basic HTML, and a basic understanding of internet searching.

Registration is required to attend the class session. Call (636-296-5171) or visit the Arnold Branch of the Jefferson County Library to sign up today.

Local police believe an agreement signed today by White House and international officials to control the importation of pseudoephedrine, a key ingredient found in meth, will help curb addiction, but do little to impact local lab busts.

Office of National Drug Control Policy Director John Walters and Attorney General Michael Mukasey signed an agreement with leaders of Mexico, China and India in downtown St. Louis pledging to continue to work toward additional control of meth's key ingredient.
