Cedar Rapids Fire Station Becomes Student Housing for Coe
Coe College will convert the former 1925 Cedar Rapids fire station at 1424 B Ave NE into housing for up to 26 students by late August, after a zoning change from public to multiple-family district. Renovation cost is projected at 325000, with the 2014 2015 school year target. Also, Sun Valley flood protection advances with a 370000 sewer extension to prepare a berm along Indian Creek and Cottage Grove Parkway SE, funded by local option tax leftovers.

Practice makes perfect as violent games shape thinking study
An Iowa State University psychology team reports that three years of tracking over 3,000 Singaporean children found that repeatedly playing violent video games alters thinking patterns, increasing aggression and hostile behavior even if not leading to crime. The study, led by Douglas Gentile with Craig Anderson and Sara Prot, suggests a learning effect where exposure shifts beliefs toward acceptability of aggression. Parents are urged to monitor their children's game use, as games act as potent teachers influencing long term thoughts and behaviors.
