By Katie Drummond - AOL News(Sept. 20) -- Massage therapy can trigger positive changes in brain chemicals, leading to reduced levels of stress and anxiety among the lucky recipients of a rub-down. That a massage offers vital relaxation benefits should be no surprise to devotees. Indeed, massage therapy in the United States has skyrocketed in recent years: Nearly 9 percent of American adults enjoyed at least one massage last year. But the perks go beyond aromatherapy lotion, essential oils and the inevitable bliss of a veritable 60-minute cat-nap. A study out of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center concluded that two kinds of ...

By Annie Groer - Politics DailyCiting a "lack of credible evidence," including conflicting witness statements, the Portland area district attorney declined on Friday to charge Vice President Al Gore with sexual misconduct as alleged by Oregon masseuse Molly Hagerty. In two recent National Enquirer stories, Hagerty claimed Gore groped, fondled and forcibly kissed her during an October 2006 massage session in his Hotel Lucia suite while he was in Portland to give a speech. Hagerty, who originally refused to talk to police while deciding whether to file a civil suit against Gore, did not give the police her version of events ...
Al Gore's March of the Masseuses
By Annie Groer - Politics DailyFormer Vice President Al Gore's "march of the hotel masseuses" has begun across the front page of the National Enquirer. First came Oregon massage therapist Molly Hagerty, 54, whose recent Enquirer allegations of groping and forced kissing by Gore, 62, in 2006 prompted Portland police to reopen their probe earlier this month. They initially closed the case last year for insufficient evidence. Hagerty initially refused to cooperate in 2007 but changed her mind in January 2009, when she gave police a lengthy statement. Now two more masseuses are being depicted as objects of Gore's unwanted ...
Al Gore: A Joke on Late-Night Talk Shows Once Again
By Eleanor Clift - Politics DailyAt WomanUp, we've opined about Al and Tipper Gore's separation and allegations he had a fling with the Hollywood mogul, Laurie David, who bankrolled his documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth."

My colleague Bonnie Goldstein in e-mail today commented she finds it "unimaginable that Al Gore, the former senator from Tennessee and ...
Al Gore Accused of 'Unwanted Sexual Contact' in 2006, No Charges Filed, Oregon Authorities Confirm
By Christopher Weber - Politics DailyAuthorities in Oregon have confirmed a tabloid report that former Vice President Al Gore was investigated four years ago after a masseuse accused him of "unwanted sexual contact" at a Portland hotel, but the case was not pursued because of a lack of evidence. The Portland Police Bureau released a statement Wednesday addressing accusations made in 2006, saying the woman was called to Gore's room at Hotel Lucia in October of that year to give him a massage. The police statement came in response to a report earlier in the day in the National Enquirer. According to the police, a local attorney ...
Al Gore Investigated For 'Unwanted Sexual Contact,' D.A. Confirms
By Carl Franzen - Politics DailyFresh off an unexpected divorce announcement earlier this month, the newly single Al Gore faced an ugly old allegation today: that back when he was still with Tipper in 2006, he engaged in "unwanted sexual contact" at a hotel in Portland, Ore., with an unnamed masseuse who reported it to police. The National Enquirer broke the news earlier today, and while many initially doubted the veracity of the claims, the paper later backed them up with confirmation from a statement issued by the Multnomah County district attorney. D.A. Michael D. Schrunk said, "In late 2006 and January 2007 this ...
