FYI: 'Breakthrough' seen on financial bailout
House to vote Sunday, Senate Monday on bailout for finance industry
updated 10 minutes ago:
WASHINGTON - Congressional leaders and the Bush administration reached a tentative deal early Sunday on a landmark bailout of imperiled financial markets whose collapse could plunge the nation into a deep recession.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the $700 billion accord just after midnight but said it still has to be put on paper.
“We’ve still got more to do to finalize it, but I think we’re there,” said Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, who also participated in the negotiations in the Capitol.
“We worked out everything,” said Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H., the chief Senate Republican in the talks. He said the House should be able to vote on it Sunday, and the Senate could take it up Monday.
The plan calls for the Treasury Department to buy deeply distressed mortgage-backed securities and other bad debts held by banks and other investors. The money should help troubled lenders make new loans and keep credit lines open. The government would later try to sell the discounted loan packages at the best possible price.
At the insistence of House Republicans, some money would be devoted to a program that would encourage holders of distressed mortgage-backed securities to keep them and buy government insurance to cover defaults.
The legislation would place limits on severance packages for executives of companies that benefit from the rescue plan, but details were sketchy.
Also, the government would receive stock warrants in return for the bailout relief, giving taxpayers a chance to share in financial companies’ future profits.
To help struggling homeowners, the plan requires the government to try renegotiating the bad mortgages it acquires with the aim of lowering borrowers’ monthly payments so they can keep their homes.
The measure’s main elements were proposed a week ago by the Bush administration, with Paulson heading efforts to push it through the Democratic-controlled Congress. Democrats insisted on greater congressional oversight, more taxpayer protections, help for homeowners facing possible foreclosure, and restrictions on executives’ compensation.
To some degree, all those items were added.
At the insistence of House Republicans, who threatened to sidetrack negotiations at midweek, the insurance provision was added as an alternative to having the government buy distressed securities. House Republicans say it will require less taxpayer spending for the bailout.
But the Treasury Department has said the insurance provision would not pump enough money into the financial sector to make credit sufficiently available. The department would decide how to structure the insurance provisions, said Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., one of the negotiators.
Money for the rescue plan would be phased in, he said. The first $350 billion would be available as soon as the president requested it. Congress could try to block later amounts if it believed the program was not working. The president could veto such a move, however, requiring extra large margins in the House and Senate to override.
Despite the changes made during an intense week of negotiations, the heart of the program remains Bush’s original idea: To have the government spend billions of dollars to buy mortgage-backed securities whose value has plummeted as hundreds of thousands of Americans have defaulted on their home loans.
Senate Majority leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said Saturday that the goal was to come up with a final agreement before the Asian markets open Sunday night. “Everybody is waiting for this thing to tip a little bit too far,” he said, so “we may not have another day.”
Hours later, when he and others told reporters of the plan in a post-midnight news conference, Reid referred to the sometimes testy nature of the negotiations.
“We’ve had a lot of pleasant words,” he said, “and some that haven’t always been pleasant.”
“We’re very pleased with the progress made tonight,” said White House spokesman Tony Fratto. “We appreciate the bipartisan effort to deal with this urgent issue.”

John,
The terms were not announced, but money did change hands.
The exact financial details of this deal will be laid out in the company’s next 10-Q.
uWink is not running a charity here, they would not have spent the labor and man hours to get this project going if it wasn’t going to lead to serious material revenue.
I’ll be detailing the exact breakdown (it isn’t much right now, but will be once the terminals are placed in other locations) in another future post.
Rest assured, this is a revenue generating deal.

uN - The terminals will contain the full Chili’s menu and ordering options, built ON TOP of the uWink service and software platform that allows patrons to play games either by themselves or with the other tables at the restaurant, as well as check out and order food without waiting for a server to take their order.
This is a very important feature, especially with uWink’s ability to deliver the menu in up to 8 languages, as airport restaurants are located in places where there is a confluence of all kinds of demographics, cultures, languages and customers.
The simplicity with which a customer can tap the screen to start the ordering process, choose their native language, and complete the checkout process without having to talk to a server, shows just how deep and useful these terminals can be for not just restaurants, but ALL SORTS of businesses within the hospitality industry.
In addition, busy travelers don’t have time to sit at a table and wait for a server to come and take their order.
On the flip side, if they do have lots of time because of an extended layover, uWink’s terminals provide ample distraction with their games allowing passengers to waste some time while they eat.
For the restaurants, the terminals EASILY INTERGRATE into the operations that are already running and require little training and maintenance.
The kitchen simply receives the uWink terminal’s order, and a runner, or server for that section, brings the food out.
This is one of the bigger draws for large companies, especially in this economic climate, that want to squeeze more profit out of their operations and streamline their service to save overhead costs.
The terminals at this location will serve as testing grounds for potential expansion TO OTHER airport restaurants, OR stand-alone locations, that Delaware North and Brinker International operates.

Nothing on the web site while it was under its new construction phase as new.uwink.com was removed, when it later on became finalized as uwink.com (the current version). Products listed then are the Products listed now...
To first claim that None of it was of any "immediate interest", and to NOW claim that some Other products / services were removed is simply asinine and BS, and such tactics are nothing but an immature attempt to keep perpetuating previous BS, along with new BS to try to support the past BS, rather than to simply admit obvious ignorance regarding uWink POS Software and interfacing applications. – Ignorance is ok.
