The New York Times Is Selling. But Who's Buying the Globe?

Most employees of companies that are facing uncertainty during these trying economic times listen to every bit of gossip and hearsay that float around the office when rumors of a new owner circulate. It must be nice for the reporters at the Globe to call up the people who are reportedly considering becoming their new bosses to verify the rumors.

Both Boston Herald publisher Patrick Purcell and former Boston advertising executive Jack Connors separately flatly ruled out being involved in deals to buy the Boston Globe, which is owned by the New York Times Co. . . .

"There's nothing to it,'' Connors told the Globe. "I'm not buying the Boston Globe. I'm not buying anything that the New York Times owns.''
Hmm. Maybe Connors is waiting for the NYT to sell the possibly worthless broadsheet to another media conglomerate, and will then swoop in (perhaps wearing a cape) to purchase the Globe. Sure, it sounds crazy, but so does the possibility of News Corp. buying the Globe, merging it with Ottaway, and shuttering the Herald.

[I]n a statement today Purcell said he had no discussions as Ottaway chairman "with any potential bidders" for the Globe and called the Financial Times story "completely unfounded and not rooted in reality." The sole owner of the Herald, Purcell said he was committed to keeping Boston a two-newspaper city.


I'd like to announce that I am interested in buying the Boston Globe. I can offer $900, a 19-inch HD television, and my caustic wit. Provided I can live in the Morrissey Boulevard offices, of course.

I'm impressed, I have to admit. Rarely do I come across a blog that's equally educative and interesting, and let me tell you, you've hit the nail on the head. The issue is an issue that not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy I stumbled across this during my search for something regarding this.

I've been surfing on-line more than three hours today, but I by no means found any attention-grabbing article like yours. It is pretty price sufficient for me. In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made just right content as you did, the web shall be a lot more helpful than ever before.

هل سيارتك حب حياتك؟ كيف تجعله يشعر بأنه محبوب؟ غالبًا ما نشتري السيارة التي نرغب دائمًا في امتلاكها ثم ننساها تمامًا. إنه أشبه بالزواج من امرأة أحببناها لفترة طويلة. تصبح العلاقة لطيفة وتنقطع أخيرًا في بعض الوقت. لإنجاح أي شيء ، عليك أن تبذل جهودك فيه باستمرار. عليك أن تظهر حبك تجاه البشر والأشياء التي تحبها وتهتم بها. دعونا نناقش المزيد عن سياراتنا. السيارات الحديثة هي مثال رائع لكيفية تقدمنا ??في التكنولوجيا على مر السنين. أنها تأتي مع أجهزة الكمبيوتر وأجهزة الكشف عن الأخطاء. لكن هل هذا مهم بعد كل شيء؟

لا توجد مشكلة لديها القدرة على حلها من تلقاء نفسها. عليك اتخاذ الإجراءات اللازمة لتصحيح تلك الأخطاء. وبالمثل ، فإن أي مشكلة تتعلق بسيارتك تحتاج إلى صيانة.

اسمح لنا أن نقدم لك بعض نصائح الصيانة السهلة التي ستساعدك على الشعور بالحب:

الفحوصات الأساسية: يجب أن تحافظ على عادة إجراء الفحوصات الأساسية وفقًا لدليل السيارة المقدم مع سيارتك وقت شرائها. ستساعدك الحلول والتقنيات الخاصة بصيانة سيارتك المذكورة في هذا الدليل على تجنب العديد من المشكلات. في حالة احتياج النصائح إلى أدوات متقدمة ، تأكد من إحضار سيارتك إلى خبير ، وإضافة لمسة احترافية إلى مخطط الصيانة.

فهم أضواء التحذير: تذكر؟ تحدثنا عن كيفية تجهيز السيارات الحديثة بأجهزة كمبيوتر قوية. إنه هنا ، حيث ستجد أفضل مقياس لقوتهم. تحتوي سيارتك على العديد من أجهزة الاستشعار التي تخبر الكمبيوتر الرئيسي لسيارتك بأي إشارة خطأ تمت مواجهتها. يمكن استخراجه من أي مكون من مكونات سيارتك يحتوي على جهاز استشعار متصل به. ستنعكس النتيجة على شكل ضوء تحذير على لوحة القيادة. يمكنك التحقق مرة أخرى باستخدام الدليل الخاص بك مما يعنيه هذا الضوء بالضبط ، وتصحيح الخطأ بواسطة خبير.

افحص الإطارات: قد تنزلق السيارات المستقبلية في السماء ، ولكن اليوم تحتاج السيارات إلى إطارات للتنقل. من الضروري أن تكون إطارات السيارات في حالة جيدة لتقديم مستوى عالٍ من الأداء إلى جانب أقصى درجات الأمان. يجب على المرء أن يفحص إطاراته بانتظام بحثًا عن أي تلف أو تسرب محتمل. سيساعدك القيام بالشيء نفسه في الحصول على تجربة قيادة آمنة وممتازة.

نظف عجلاتك من أجل الأناقة: هل قمت بتثبيت سيارتك بعجلات ما بعد البيع للحصول على مظهر وأناقة أفضل. ماذا لو كانت مكابح مركبتك تلطخهم إلى مستوى يستحيل معه الرجوع إلى الوراء. بصرف النظر عن بقع الفرامل ، تشعر العجلات أيضًا بتأثيرات الكربون والأوساخ الموجودة على الطريق. تلتصق هذه المواد غير المرغوب فيها بعجلات سياراتنا وتبدو بغيضة في بعض الوقت. لذلك ، يجب على المرء تنظيفها أو تنظيفها وفقًا لذلك.

إذا تعرضت سيارتك لحادث ، فلا تقلق ، قدها إلينا. نحن نقدم مجموعة من إصلاح الجسم في Newcastle Upon Tyne والتي ستساعدك على استعادة مجد سيارتك الأصلي.
