WASHINGTON (AP) ? A technical problem affecting the Visa network!  barred 
some people around the United States from using their credit and debit cards for 
about 45 minutes on Sunday, the company said.

The outage was caused by a recent update Visa has mad! e to its system, said 
Visa Inc. spokeswoman Sandra Chu. She said Visa had trouble processing some 
transact! ions as a result, but the! system is operating normally now.

Chu said the problem Sunday was unrelated to the security breach potentially 
affecting Visa and MasterCard customers that was reported Friday by credit card 
processor Global Payments Inc.

The outage occurred from around 2:40 p.m. to 3:20 p.m. EDT, a person from a 
major bank said. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because bank 
employees were not authorized to speak publicly. Visa had notified the banks that 
are members of its network of the problem.

Consumers and merchants reported having Visa cards rejected on Sunday.

At the Shoot Smart gun range in Fort Worth, Texas, manager Jared Sloane said 
credit and debit transactions stopped working early in the after! noon.

Sloane said a few customers walked out when told they could only pay with cash 
or check, but otherwise the problem wasn't yet much of a disruption.

Shoot Smart said problems with transactions were persisting at about 6:40 EDT.

Chu said Visa's system was fully up and operational.

	


PHILADELPHIA (AP) ? A group of powerful business leaders announced Monday 
they have closed a deal to purchasePhiladelphia's two largest newspapers from 
hedge funds for approximately $55 million, a fraction of what investors paid for 
them in 2006.

It is the fifth time in six years the newspapers are being sold.

The buyers, who include cable TV mogul H.F. "Gerry" Lenfest, powerful New 
Jersey Democrat George N! orcro! ss III and formerNew Jersey Nets owner Lewis 
Katz, said they plan to keep the newspapers' tradition of strong journalism alive in 
the digital age.

They had an exclusive option to bid for Philadelphia Media Network, which also 
operates the! Phil! ly.com website and a weekly sports publication.

The purchase price ? which includes up to $10 million from investors to fund 
operations ? is less than 15 percent of the $515 million paid by a group of investors 
in 2006, and far less than the $139 million creditors paid at a 2010 bankruptcy 
auction.

"These newspapers have an historic tradition of outstanding journalism in our city 
and we want to preserve that tradition and marry it to the exciting digital 
opportunities that are revolution the news business," Katz said in a statement 
released before the scheduled news conference Monday morning.

The buyers established a new company, Interstate General Media LLC, to operate 
Philadelphia Media Network.

The sale comes as Philadelphia Media Network has announced plans to cut 45 
positions this month, including 40 in the newsroom. Last year, the newsrooms lost 
20 jobs.

Company officials have cited both finances and the consolidation of newsroom 
functions in discussing the cuts. Some staff work now appears in both 
newspapers, a trend that will grow as beat reporters and photographers handle 
assignments for both the broadsheet Inquirer and tabloid Daily News.

According to a recent letter of intent obtained by the Daily News, the sale would 
include $200,000 to fund severance pay for an additional 35 people, and $500,000 
to pay for the departure of senior managers. Some key officers would remain, the 
memo said. It's unclear if they include publisher Greg Osberg, who was criticized 
by newsroom employees for allegedly censoring stories about th! e sale.

Philadelphia business magnate Raymond Perelman, who bid against the creditors 
until the end the last time around, was denied the chance to mount a rival bid this 
year against the Lenfest group, and briefly joined them. But he withdrew when he 
learned he wouldn't be the majority owner.
