Derived termsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Kansas ( /ˈkænzəs/ (help·info)) is a state located in the Midwestern United States. It is named after the Kansas River which flows through it, which in turn was named after the Kansa 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." Historically, the area was home to large numbers of nomadic Native Americans who hunted bison. It 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 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 if 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 exploded when waves of immigrants turned the prairie into productive farmland. Today, Kansas is one of the most productive agricultural states, producing many crops, and leading the nation in wheat, sorghum and sunflower production most years. From Wikipedia under the

Here's a link to the Kansas Department of Revenue website: There's contact info there where you can contact them via telephone, e-mail or mail and ask them if they're received your tax return and check if you're worried. There's also a place to check the status of your refund online there and you may be able to use that to check and see if they've received your return and check.

Q. I've been looking into either a Green Cheeked Conure, or a Fancy Green Cheeked Conure, that's hand fed obviously. But I don't know the general price range for these birds in Kansas and I don't want to get ripped off. If any body has a good answer to this question it would be greatly appreciated Asked by Madame Sarcastic - Tue Nov 6 21:10:27 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. I paid $150 for my normal Green Cheek from a breeder. Wasn't really a good idea though.. bad breeder, which happens, so just be careful! Pet stores will most likely rip you off, if you consider the fact that breeders usually sell them for about a hundred dollars less. Better idea, buy a family pet that someone can't care for any longer. You'll be saving the bird, you'll get it cheaper than a breeder or pet store usually with supplies included, and the bird will have a known personality. Baby birds are NOTHING like adult birds, so I believe it's much better to buy an adult so you know what you're getting. Babies often choose to bond to one person when they mature (not so common with GCCs, but with lots of other birds) or have some… [cont.] Answered by Wondering - Tue Nov 6 22:51:53 2007 From Yahoo Answer Search: "kansas"  news.google.com Kansas City Star ap topeka | Kansas Attorney General Steve Six is offering a series of training workshops on the state's open meetings and records laws. ... and more » news.google.com Kansas City Star The Kansas City housing market continued its weak performance in February, with the price of an average home down 3 percent and sales activity sluggish ... and more » news.google.com Bizjournals.com The Kansas Department of Transportation and Amtrak released a study Thursday detailing four options for establishing passenger rail service connecting ...
