I’ve been writing about parenting and technology long enough for themes to begin to emerge. Like Lou Dobbs talking again and again about the “War on the Middle Class,” I am going to keep following the evolving story about kids and online safety, and supporting the idea that “Safe Product Design is Good Product Design.”

Yesterday’s announcement that MySpace has unveiled a new safety plan, working in cooperation with 49 attorneys general, is a step in the right direction. However, it did draw the predictable criticism epitomized by this reader comment on The Social blog:

Why can’t parents just do what the [sic] are supposed to do? Part of parenting is knowing what your kids are up to all the time.

Company News- January 14, 2008: American Uranium Amends Pinetree-Reno Creek JV Agreement

American Uranium Corporation (”American” or “the Company”) (OTCBB:AUUM) announced earlier today an amendment securing full 60% rights to its cornerstone Reno Creek property. The Pinetree-Reno Creek JV property holds known historical resources totaling approximately 14M lbs U3O8 and has been demonstrated to be amenable to ISR mining.

AUUM CEO Dr. Bob Rich said, “I’m delighted with this improvement in the JV agreement with Strathmore, and am anxiously anticipating the start of permitting and other development activities at the Reno Creek deposit in early 2008. The removal of this provision is consistent with our strategy of moving this asset into production as soon as possible.”

As part of the amendment, American Uranium Corporation agreed to increase its exploration and development expenditures from US $5 million to US $12.375 million to earn an initial 22.5% interest in the project. Strathmore agreed to rescind its 11% buyback provision under the terms specified by the original agreement. All other terms as per the original agreement remain unchanged.
