If anyone could tell me what they are and the best way to get rid would really help the first weed is also pushing up the turf in one place also

Noticed a lump when mowed last so cut the turf to release the weed/pressure (right/wrong ?) also have a couple of patches that seemed to have died but are slowly coming back http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/...ps781fccd4.jpg
This patch was a lot bigger but slowly shrinking but another patch is not getting any better so I need to know
1 what weeds are they and how to get rid
2 how to make the patches grow again thanks all and sorry for the long post
