Here's an excerpt from our eBook, to whet your appetite a bit...

"What are the best kinds of work for the Mom-Force? Having thoroughly analyzed and in fact lived through most of the available options, I can now confidently break down the major work types and worker categoreis from least effective to most effective and desirable, by Mom-Force standards. You can and should make some effort to choose your work - it needn't choose you, because of simple convenience or because you're unwilling to try something different. Here's a summary (note this is not based on scientific research, but on my own actual experiences and those of others I know well):

1. Provide physical services: Laborer
2. Teach/Instruct in person: Teacher
3. Entertain people: Entertainer/Artist
4. Make and Sell things: Creator/Inventor

...amazing, but really not surprising - 'nuff said; BE SURE you know whether your child's on Myspace or a similar social site, preferably they're not.

From the various new sources:

"MySpace.com has found more than 29,000 registered US sex offenders with profiles on the popular social networking website - more than four times the number cited by the company two months ago, North Carolina officials said.

North Carolina's Roy Cooper is one of several state attorneys general who recently demanded the News Corp-owned website provide data on how many registered sex offenders were using the site, along with information about where they live.

After initially withholding the information, citing federal privacy laws, MySpace began sharing the information in May after the states filed formal legal requests.

At the time, MySpace said it had already used a database it helped create to remove about 7000 profiles of sex offenders, out of a total of about 180 million profiles on the site."

"Slingwheels" is a name given to a stroller accessory invention underway, as can be viewed to some extent at Parent Hacks.
