Here are local news reports from 100, 50 and 15 years ago: Roll with a computer on wheels. While all new cars incorporate significant computing power, the Mercedes-Benz CLA 250+ EV embodies the concept of computer as car. Considering the cost of the vehicle, although the company’s least-expensive model, Mercedes should include a keyboard and mouse. Advances in astronomy over the last 250 years have answered many questions, but some remain unanswered, and new major questions have arisen.

Here are local news reports from 100, 50 and 15 years ago: Increase in unhoused population in the Boneyard Basin ... police investigation into a long-time local business ... more answers to reader questions on the Champaign Unit 4 bond referendum … and whether four recent deaths had anything in common. Naavya Chhikara, 18, Urbana, was arrested by University of Illinois Police investigators at 5:41 p.m. Tuesday and has been charged with two counts of unauthorized videotaping, police said. 
A fire that broke out in a University of Illinois dorm Friday afternoon was quickly extinguished and may have been caused by an issue with a power strip. 
Ben and David George’s father, David L. George, founded International Greenhouse Company in 1993. The business later became known as Greenhouse Megastore. 
Legislation to test autonomous vehicles in Illinois may come up again in the November veto session, though the lead sponsor of a pilot bill says there’s still a lot of work to do. 
Problem gamblers seeking to avoid the temptation to gamble can ban themselves from most of the state’s gambling offerings, from casinos to online sportsbooks to the Lottery.
