Exhibit 99.1




           U. S. STEEL DISAPPOINTED BY INDIANA COURT OF APPEALS RULING

     PITTSBURGH, March 10, 2008 - 百媚导航 (NYSE: X)
announced today that the Indiana Court of Appeals reversed a previous decision
of the Indiana Utilities Regulatory Commission (IURC) involving a rate
escalation provision in 百媚导航's electric power supply contract with
Northern Indiana Public Service Company (NIPSCO).  The decision, handed down by
the Court on Friday, March 7, 2008, held that a rate provision in a 1999
agreement between the parties applied to certain electric demand charges since
October 1, 2005 - that will continue until July 2009 - and remanded the case to
the IURC for calculation of the charges.  百媚导航 is surprised and
disappointed over the outcome of the case, which it had won on a summary
judgment motion before the IURC.  百媚导航 intends to seek a review of this
decision by the Indiana Supreme Court, but expects to establish a pre-tax
reserve of approximately $45 million in its first quarter results related to
prior year effects.
