Aid workers reach quake epicenter ... Thousands expected for Freddie Gray funeral ... CO theater shooter trial begins

KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) — The aid group World Vision says its staff members have reached the area in Nepal where Saturday's magnitude 7.8 quake was centered, but that gathering information from the villages is still a challenge. World Vision says some remote areas are three days' walking distance from the main disaster center, even when roads are clear. Police say more than 3,600 are confirmed dead and more than 6,500 injured following Saturday's quake.

KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) — A 21-year-old business student in Nepal says it's not right that some people are taking smiling selfies in the earthquake zone. Pawan Thapa arrived from the suburbs to try to help in the recovery effort. He says, "This is earthquake tourism. This is not right." Dozens of people have been taking selfies around the debris of Kathmandu's famed Dharahara Tower, a historic nine-story structure reduced to an enormous pile of red brick dust. The tower was believed to have been filled with tourists during the quake.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Thousands of people are expected to attend today's funeral for a Baltimore man who died of serious spinal injuries after police took him into custody. Freddie Gray died April 19, about a week after the encounter with police. The White House is sending the head of President Barack Obama's initiative for young men of color to the service at Baltimore's New Shiloh Baptist Church.

CENTENNIAL, Colo. (AP) — Defense lawyers plan to argue that James Holmes was insane when he opened fire in a suburban Denver movie theater, killing 12 people and wounding 70 others. Holmes' trial begins today with opening statements. Unlike most other states, Colorado puts the burden on prosecutors in insanity cases. They must convince jurors beyond a reasonable doubt that Holmes was sane.

AKRON, Ohio (AP) — Two Ohio grad students have invented a device to detect how much THC is in a person's system. The "Cannibuster," developed by the two biomedical engineering graduate students at the University of Akron, tests saliva to determine the concentration of pot's active chemical in the bloodstream. The Plain Dealer newspaper says Mariam Crow and Kathleen Stitzlein hope to market their roadside testing device to states where marijuana has been legalized. It would be used by police.
