Sneaky Ways Movie Theaters Get You To Spend More Money
Between ticket prices and concessions, movie theaters are expensive. But movie theater chains like AMC and Regal only keep around 50% of the revenue from ticket sales each year. But theaters are able to keep over 80% of concessions revenue as profit. So most theaters are designed to get you to spend money on food. And it works, AMC reports that more than 71% of attendees spend money on concessions.

Kansas
Kansas /ˈkænzəs/ KAN-zəs is a U.S. state located in the Midwestern United States. It is named after the Kansa Native American tribe which inhabited the area. The tribe's name (natively kką:ze) is often said to mean people of the wind or people of the south wind, although this was probably not the term's original meaning. Residents of Kansas are called Kansans. For thousands of years, what is now Kansas was home to numerous and diverse Native American tribes. Tribes in the Eastern part of the state generally lived in villages along the river valleys. Tribes in the Western part of the state were semi-nomadic and hunted large herds of bison. Kansas was first settled by European Americans in the 1830s, but the pace of settlement accelerated in the 1850s, in the midst of political wars over the slavery issue.
When it was officially opened to settlement by the U.S. government in 1854, abolitionist Free-Staters from New England and pro-slavery settlers from neighboring Missouri rushed to the territory to determine whether Kansas would become a free state or a slave state. Thus, the area was a hotbed of violence and chaos in its early days as these forces collided, and was known as Bleeding Kansas. The abolitionists eventually prevailed and on January 29, 1861, Kansas entered the Union as a free state. After the Civil War, the population of Kansas grew rapidly when waves of immigrants turned the prairie into farmland. Today, Kansas is one of the most productive agricultural states, producing high yields of wheat, sorghum, and sunflowers. Kansas is the 15th most extensive and the 34th most populous of the 50 United States.

The Missouri River: Starting Point for the Western Trails, by Travis Boley
Download Transcript:
The Missouri River: Starting Point for the Western Trails, by Travis Boley, Association Manager for the Oregon-California Trails Association - Tuesday, October 27, 2015.
Big Muddy Speakers Series (Kansas City) hosted by
Healthy Rivers Partnership (
Lakeside Nature Center ( and
RiverRelief (
at the Westport Coffeehouse Theater (
For many pioneers headed west, the Missouri River served as the
first leg in their journey to the Western Trails. Travis Boley,,
rethinks the Missouri River in terms of its unique status as a
waterway that doubles as a National Historic Trail.
He is already engaged in creating a 40 mile hiking/biking trail
in the shared historic corridor of the Oregon/California/Santa Fe
Trail from Sugar Creek, Missouri to Gardner, Kansas. It will
intersect with the Katy Trail Extension at 63rd and Blue Ridge
Blvd. in Raytown, Missouri making it possible for hikers and
bikers to easily access the Missouri River at the former Wayne
City Landing near present day Sugar Creek, Missouri.
His grander vision includes opening up wide swaths of the
Missouri River shoreline to allow similar non-motorized access to
our metro area’s riverfront, including trails that connect the
remaining historic sites from the Lewis & Clark Expedition and
the old riverboat landings for the wagon roads. This concept
would fully realize the idea that Congress established in the
1968 National Trails Act, which called for the building of
“retracement” trails in such corridors to forever preserve these
corridors.

Hate filled slayings at the Jewish Community Center and Village Shalom thrust our metro into the international news spotlight.
Kansas City was making world news this week. But for all the wrong reasons, as a white supremacist shot to death three people outside two Jewish facilities in southern Overland Park. Federal prosecutors say they intend to file hatecrime charges against 73year old Frazier Glenn Cross (a.k.a. Glenn Miller) who is accused of gunning down his victims outside the Jewish Community Center and Village Shalom.
HIGHWAY SHOOTINGS, SUSPECT ARRESTED
Is a highway shooter's reign of terror over? In another story that's been bringing national news attention to the metro, Kansas City police say they've finally caught the man who's been shooting at drivers on highways from Leawood to Blue Springs.
STREETCAR RAILS ARRIVE
The first shipment of steel rail for the city's downtown streetcar line was trucked in Wednesday morning. 139,000 pounds of steel was unloaded off of three trucks from a mill in Steelton, Pennsylvania. Back in October, streetcar backers were celebrating the first development project directly tied to the 2mile streetcar line. A Boulderbased developer said they were seduced by the economic potential of streetcars to draw up plans for a 50 unit apartment building directly along the route. Sixmonths on, with the rail now being laid, is there any other development that can be directly attributed to the streetcar line?
METRO NORTH MALL SHUTTERED
It's been A Northland fixture for nearly 40 years and on Tuesday, it officially shut its doors. When it opened in 1976, Metro North Mall was the second largest in our metro. Now only Macy's remains at the shopping center on Barry Road and US 169 highway. The plan? To demolish the shopping center and replace it with a more compact, shopable, onestory indoor mall.
SEBELIUS FOR SENATE?
A week after announcing her resignation as the nation's Health Secretary, could Kathleen Sebelius be heading on to the campaign trail? The New York Times reports that Sebelius is considering a run for the US Senate seat in Kansas currently occupied by Pat Roberts. The Times says that at 77, Roberts who is running for a fourth term is considered vulnerable. Is there any validity to this report or is this just wishful thinking?
BIG BOOST TO GETTING PEOPLE LIVING DOWNTOWN
The Power and Light District has been facing ongoing financial woes. Is the entertainment venue about to get a big boost as the Cordish company is scheduled to break ground on a 25--story apartment tower at 13th and Walnut? That's 315 upscale apartments with all those new residents with money to burn. The groundbreaking was supposed to be this week but was called off at the last moment due to terrible weather.
MAKE OR BREAK: DECISION TIME FOR KCMO SCHOOLS
What ever happened to those efforts to fix Missouri's school transfer law? What about those contentious state plans to intervene in the state's unaccredited school districts? Join Nick Haines and the rest of the KCPT crew, this Monday evening April 21st, 2014 at 6pm at the Plaza Branch of the Kansas City Public Library for MAKE OR BREAK DECISION TIME FOR KANSAS CITY SCHOOLS. We bring together every major player in Kansas City and Missouri education to connect the dots. And you're invited. RSVP now.
We'll be taping this public forum for later broadcast on KCPT.

SUMMARY
=======
Kansas (listen) is a U.S. state in the Midwestern United States. Its capital is Topeka and its largest city is Wichita. Kansas is named after the Kansa Native American tribe, which inhabited the area. The tribe's name (natively kką:ze) is often said to mean people of the (south) wind although this was probably not the term's original meaning. For thousands of years, what is now Kansas was home to numerous and diverse Native American tribes. Tribes in the eastern part of the state generally lived in villages along the river valleys. Tribes in the western part of the state were semi-nomadic and hunted large herds of bison.
Kansas was first settled by European Americans in 1812, in what is now Bonner Springs, but the pace of settlement accelerated in the 1850s, in the midst of political wars over the slavery debate. When it was officially opened to settlement by the U.S. government in 1854 with the Kansas–Nebraska Act, abolitionist Free-Staters from New England and pro-slavery settlers from neighboring Missouri rushed to the territory to determine whether Kansas would become a free state or a slave state. Thus, the area was a hotbed of violence and chaos in its early days as these forces collided, and was known as Bleeding Kansas. The abolitionists prevailed, and on January 29, 1861, Kansas entered the Union as a free state. After the Civil War, the population of Kansas grew rapidly when waves of immigrants turned the prairie into farmland.
By 2015, Kansas was one of the most productive agricultural states, producing high yields of wheat, corn, sorghum, and soybeans. Kansas, which has an area of 82,278 square miles (213,100 square kilometers) is the 15th-largest state by area and is the 34th most-populous of the 50 states with a population of 2,911,641. Residents of Kansas are called Kansans. Mount Sunflower is Kansas's highest point at 4,041 feet (1,232 meters).
