Okay, so this isn't a typical blog, but the A-Team needs your assistance in a very important matter of business (or busyness if you prefer). We're hard at work on a new ProgressiveU column where members and A-Team alike will do interviews, review stuffs, and all sorts of other kinda cool things. The problem is that while we have the idea in development, the column lacks a name. And that lack of name is driving us nuts.
So, my dear ProgressiveU bloggers, help!!
We need you to post suggestions for a name to this blog for everyone to discuss and debate. The winning name will be the name of the column (make it awesome if you please!) and a book. No seriously. If you pick the winning name and send me a mailing address, I'll mail you a book. I'll even make my sister wrap it all pretty (cause I can't wrap).
Pretty cool, yes?
So... have at it! And remember, the name should reflect the purpose of the column, which will contain news, reviews, Interviews, etc and be something we won't hate in two days.

Sorry, best I can do at the moment. Tonight when I'm home and on painkillers, I'll be able to maybe think of something better.
Uh oh. Why pain killers? What did you do?

well, I'm in constant pain (Fibromalgia). however, I don't take anything for that. A few weeks ago I was in martial arts and, during some take-down drills, another student torqued my arm in the wrong direction, pulling some tendons and such around my elbow.
Not that this is a competition... but I found out 2 days ago I have mono. It's been great having flu symptoms for 2 weeks and I can look forward to another 1-2 months of it. And now I can't help my mom as much because I might get her sick... yay for me.
ick. Pain I can block out.
Ouch! That has to blow
Sorry dear!

My husband has Fibromyalgia;
If you can tolerate the pain, good for you. But there's no shame if you find that you do have to eventually start taking something to help cope with it.
My husband has about 8 prescriptions right now all tied to fibro. Some for the anxiety, some for the depression, some for the chronic fatigue, some for the blood pressure that the ones for anxiety can raise, some for the pain. It's really bad. He can't stand long enough to take a shower, so he's stuck with baths...it's hard on every one.
Good luck.

To each their own. My father as well takes a few pain meds.
I'm just afraid, at my young age (28) of starting on pain medications for it.
One thing that does help is something called an infared sauna. Rather than using steam (which is bad for your lungs and heart anyway) it uses infared light to produce the heat.
I have one and it DOES work.
What is the word limit? Maybe it will help some of us narrow down the potential choices...

Of the title? It'll be something that gets stuck into the sidebar, so you don't want it too long, but we're not going to say it MUST be 2 words only. Spit out your choices, and we'll eliminate ones we don't like (since we're running it and all) and let you vote on the ones we can't decide on. At least, I think that was Fallon's intention... I could ask her, since I'm in a chat with her right now, but I'm lazy :-)

I really didn't think that far ahead, I was just desperate for name ideas. But yeah, user voting sounds good to me.

How about just plain "Media"? I think it's short and to the point. It will be a column about ProgressiveU being in the media, no? So...
Media
That's it. lol Or it can be "Progressive U Media" Either way, media sounds reasonable to me.

No, it will be reviews of documentaries, educational type shows, books, interviews with news makers, etc.

haha, I like Tuffgong's title idea.
That they are giving ideas a 'white wash.' I guess they could be 'coming clean.'
