Evomail for iPad set to enter the fray for control of your Gmail inbox
Finally got off the reservation list for Mailbox? Now there's another app trying to sway your Gmail loyalty that's just arrived for iPad: Evomail. It brings "frictionless" support for Google's mail client, including quick access to labels, trash and archives, full Gmail search, push notifications and social network sharing for Twitter or Facebook. While launching strictly on the iPad, the developers told us that versions for iPhone, then Android would follow, but that it'd only support Google's mail service "at the moment." If you think it might serve your Gmail needs better than, er, the free-of-charge Gmail app, it's $2.99 at the source.

Denise Richards Fends Off Eating Disorder Rumors - Bitten and ...
News Flash: Not all skinny women have an eating disorder.? Actress Denise Richards went on the defensive over the weekend to fend off the latest barrage of rumors about her thin frame while attending the Radio Disney Music Awards.
Denise told Extra, ?I don?t know why lately I?ve been getting so much flak for it. I have a very healthy lifestyle and I?m busy.?
Richards is an avid fan of Pilates, ?What bothers me is I have three daughters Sam, 9, Lola, 7, and Eloise, 22 months. I?m such an advocate for health and fitness. . . In moderation, we eat ice cream all the time. I had grilled cheese before we got here!?
The single mother helps her girls to make healthy choices too.? In a recent interview with Us Weekly she spoke about her daughters, ?They actually like to cut up fresh vegetables with ranch dressing on the side. That?s their favorite! They love helping. They like making salads because they like chopping things up and rinsing the lettuce. Nothing too fancy!?
Yesterday, Denise posted this devilishly-tantalizing photo on her Instagram page, ?
We say bravo to Denise.? She works hard to maintain a fit body and we think she looks simply amazing!

'Heart-healing virus' trial starts
30 April 2013
Last updated at 06:20 ET
Patients in the UK have been enrolled into a trial to see if an engineered virus can be used to heal their damaged and struggling hearts.
The trial will use a virus to introduce genetic material into heart muscle to reverse the organ's decline.
The British Heart Foundation said the idea had "great potential" but needed to be proven in clinical trials.
Heart failure affects more than 750,000 people in the UK and can leave some people too weak to climb the stairs.
It occurs when the organ is damaged, for example after being starved of oxygen in a heart attack, and becomes too weak to effectively pump blood around the body.
There have been huge medical leaps in keeping patients alive after a heart attack, but the consequence is a rapidly growing number of people living with heart failure.

Gene therapy used to be heralded as the next big thing in medicine, but for decades it has promised more than it has delivered.
The concept is simple. If there is a problem with a patient's genetic code, then correct that part of the code.
Safety issues have been one of the biggest stumbling blocks.
In one trial a US teenager died and other patients have developed leukaemia.
The first gene therapy was finally approved for commercial use in Europe in November 2012.
It treats patients with lipoprotein lipase deficiency - who are otherwise unable to digest fat.
There is certainly a need for new treatments that could reverse heart failure
But even if this trial there will be a need for larger trials, so any therapy could be a decade away even if things go well.
Researchers at Imperial College London found levels of the protein SERCA2a were lower in heart-failure patients. So they devised a genetically modified virus, with the instructions for producing more of the protein, that can infect the heart.
The virus will be released into the damaged heart muscle of the 200 patients involved in the trial via a tube inserted into the leg and pushed up through the blood vessels.
Prof Sian Harding, from Imperial College London, said: "It's bringing [the heart] back to the point where patients were pretty well, just after the initial damage occurred.
"We think this is a treatment that can improve quality of life for quite a lot of people."
Dr Alexander Lyon, a cardiologist at Royal Brompton Hospital, where some patients will take part in the trial, said: "This is the first ever gene therapy trial for heart failure.
"Our goal is to fight back against heart failure by targeting and reversing some of the critical molecular changes arising in the heart when it fails."
The Golden Jubilee National Hospital in Clydebank is also taking part in the trial.
Dr Mark Petrie said: "As a national service treating Scottish patients with the most serious heart failure, it is vital that we are at the forefront of new research and developments."
Prof Peter Weissberg, the medical director of the British Heart Foundation, said: "Whilst drugs can offer some relief, there is currently no way of restoring function to the heart for those suffering with heart failure.
"Gene therapy aims to improve the function of weak heart muscle cells, whereas our Mending Broken Hearts Appeal is aimed at finding ways to replace dead heart muscle cells after a heart attack.
"Both approaches are novel and both offer great potential for the future."

Mass. US Senate hopefuls in final pre-primary push
BOSTON (AP) ? The three Republicans and two Democrats seeking nominations to run in a special U.S. Senate election in Massachusetts are making a final pre-primary push for votes.
The race to fill the seat formerly held by Secretary of State John Kerry has been overshadowed by the Boston Marathon bombing. A light turnout is expected for Tuesday's primary.
The Republican candidates are businessman and former Navy SEAL Gabriel Gomez and former U.S. Attorney Michael Sullivan, who bumped into each other campaigning on a street corner Monday, and state Rep. Daniel Winslow.
Democratic U.S. Rep. Edward Markey greeted voters at a Boston train station Monday. His opponent, U.S. Rep. Stephen Lynch, canceled some events because of illness.
A win would help Senate Democrats maintain a caucus edge of 55-45 in the Senate as they press forward on issues including immigration.
