Carnegie man guilty of killing, beheading, cutting up roommate
A jury convicted a Carnegie man yesterday of fatally stabbing his roommate and beheading, dismembering and eviscerating him before concealing the body in a shallow grave. James Monroe Baldwin Jr., 24, showed no emotion when the panel of seven men and five women returned guilty verdicts for first-degree murder and abuse of a corpse. The jurors had been asked to consider an insanity defense. Defense lawyer John Elash presented expert psychiatric testimony at trial that Mr. Baldwin, who had no adult criminal record, was suffering from a schizophrenic disorder when he attacked Brendon Glen-David Martin, 19, on Jan. 25, 2006. "The facts of the case are pretty insane," said Mr. Elash. The University of Pittsburgh junior confessed to county police detectives that he had a fight with his roommate of five months because he believed Mr.
Questions surround funding for Atlanta streetcars
Q: Why do we need the streetcar system, when the route roughly parallels the MARTA subway line? A: The two systems serve different purposes, streetcar backers say. MARTA's rail system, featuring large, cumbersome stations, is built to carry riders at high speeds over long distances, similar to a commuter rail line. The streetcar will be much easier to hop on and off and is designed for people traveling short distances that may be too far to walk but not far enough to warrant a drive. .

Artists break a sweat riding pedal-car art exhibit; fun stops when ...
The video shows four art enthusiasts pedalling a hollowed-out car down Queen St. W., their pumping feet visible like Fred Flintstone's. "Our little legs were going, we were breaking a sweat," art gallery director Elaine Gaito said yesterday. They were riding an art exhibit titled "Shared Propulsion Car," a hollowed-out 1986 Buick Regal fitted with four pedal-and-gear mechanisms but missing the engine, transmission, electrical system and suspension. Instead of headlights, votive candles burned behind the glass. Gaito's Mercer Union Centre for Contemporary Art, at 37 Lisgar St., put the car on display with an opening-night bash Oct. 24. The next day, four friends of the work's creator, Montreal artist Michel de Broin, took it for a spin, topping speeds of 15 kilometres an hour.
