Is Microsoft the cool kid of computers again?
Technology analysts and fans couldn't help but compare this week's press events from the headquarters of both Apple and Microsoft, who — in an unusual move — unveiled major new hardware at events one day apart.
Macbook refined
Apple announced its newest line of Macbook laptops on Thursday. Other than making them a smidge thinner and lighter than previous models, the major changes could be characterized as much by what was removed as what was added.
The touch bar is a new adaptive touch screen that runs along the top of the keyboards and adds different functions based on what app you're using, like volume controls and photo filters. But it also replaces the escape and function keys that have traditionally occupied the upper row of just about every basic keyboard in existence.
And the new Macbook Pros have ditched the traditional USB ports for the newer, reversible USB-C model, which means if you've got any older devices that connect with the traditional version you'll need to buy a dongle to use them.
Patrick O'Rourke, a writer for Canadian tech site MobileSyrup, tried the new Macbooks at Apple's press event, and says he came away mostly impressed and in favour of the new touch bar.
O'Rourke says he's "cautiously optimistic" about the feature, but notes it's unclear how many non-Apple developers will adapt their applications for the new Macbooks.
Surface Studio surprises
Just a day earlier, Microsoft showed off the latest version of its Surface Book laptop-tablet hybrid, promising more graphics power and longer battery life than the 2015 version.
The company also showed off its upcoming mixed-reality headset, Hololens, and unveiled the Surface Studio — a high-end desktop computer that appears to target the same audience as Apple's iMac. It features a touch screen and transformable base that can slide into a position resembling an artist's canvas or drafting table.
But most surprising was probably the Surface Dial, a puck-like mechanism that interacts with the Surface Studio's screen. It can be used to create a colour wheel or spin around the image you're working on, freeing up your other hand to keep on drawing with a stylus.
Did Microsoft out-Apple Apple?
Several commentators noted that Apple might be losing its position as the king of slick product reveals and innovative tech design to Microsoft.
By comparison, Apple's announcements, book-ended with long missives on previously seen iPhone software and Apple TV updates, seemed, well, boring.
"Admit it: Microsoft is now a braver, more innovative company than Apple," writes Mashable's Chris Taylor.
Taylor, a self-professed Apple fan boy, described the Surface Studio as "what the iMac [Apple's desktop computer] should be by now," and called the dial "another brave and risky move from Microsoft that seems, at first blush, to have paid off."
The pro-Microsoft headlines are piling up. "Microsoft is doing a better Apple impression than Apple is," wrote The Verge. MIT Technology Review echoed that statement: "Microsoft is looking like the new Apple."
Many tech watchers on Twitter chimed in with similar pronouncements.
Microsoft is really turning out to be the new Apple. This is the second year that their announcements are super exciting
Does anyone else think that the @Microsoft Surface announcements yesterday were far more exciting than the @Apple #MacBookPro #appleevent ?
But seriously, the Surface Studio video looks like an Apple introduction video, but a level up. Amazingly well done. https://t.co/MLRzA0Qaae
Apple: "You can stop looking at your art and drag your finger across a tiny screen to change colors."
Microsoft: pic.twitter.com/XCYExgQpO8
Microsoft: Touch screen, four point hinge, drafting tilt, surround sound.
Apple: We removed the Escape key and added courage.
O'Rourke suggests the shift we're seeing from Microsoft comes out of necessity more than anything else.
"I think Microsoft was pushed into a corner, so they're being forced to innovate," he says. "The Surface started off as not that great a device, but over the course of not even three years, it's become a viable laptop-tablet replacement. And it's a cool, new, different category."
But with its years-long head start in the market (the first Macbook debuted in 2006), Apple won't have to make radical changes for a while.
"I think they [Apple] are fine to keep doing what they're doing," O'Rourke says of the new Macbooks. "It's got new hardware, the design is slightly sleeker, but it's not going to blow your mind. But that's because the original device was fine. It's difficult to improve on something that's already doing very well."
He doesn't see the Surface line overtaking Apple any time soon, but he "could see them biting off a bigger part of the high-end market" traditionally dominated by Apple.
"Even on the plane coming here, I saw a couple Surface devices. That's not something I've seen in the past," he says. "So they're definitely grabbing some of that high-end mindshare."
High stakes, high price
That said, anyone hoping to hitch their wagon to either competitor should be ready to pay a premium price. The new line of Macbooks ranges from $1,899 to $3,499. The new Surface Book starts at $3,129, though you can still get last year's version for $1,949.
Microsoft hasn't announced when the Surface Studio will be available in Canada, but it's currently up for pre-order in the U.S., for $2,999 US. The Surface Dial comes separately for $99 US.

I don't agree with you about not removing the hard coded part. What if I write my own patches to commons-logging to fix some of these issues and do my own specialized logging. I then need the o.a.c.l package structure, as a user. By hardcoding this, you have taken that ability for me to do this...my jars will never get used. I am against this...this takes away complete control from the user to patch and make their own o.a.c.l versions. What happens then? Do we tell the user "too bad"...or should we give them a choice of excluding it via a configuration, so they can roll their own o.a.c.l library? IMHO... 1) Hard code now (M5) 2) Remove hard code and create an exclusions list (1.0) 3) Remove exclusions list and fix the classloaders (Post 1.0) For number 2, we could easily create a warning if the user has commons-logging in the web-inf/lib and its not excluded. But lets give the user a choice. This takes us out of the loop completely from a support perspective. > > thanks > david jencks

A new Beatles album, featuring unreleased recordings and studio banter from the Fab Four's sessions for a variety of BBC radio programmes, will be released in November.
On Air – Live at the BBC Volume 2, a sequel to the 1994 compilation Live At The BBC, features ten songs which the band never recorded for their record label EMI during the 60s.
The rarities include a live-to-air performance of Chuck Berry's "I'm Talking About You" and a cover of the standard "Beautiful Dreamer."
The 63 tracks include 37 previously unreleased performances. Of equal interest to fans will be 23 previously unreleased recordings of studio conversation between the band's members and their BBC radio hosts, including Brian Matthew and Alan Freeman, which demonstrate the Liverpool band's famously sharp wit.
Sir Paul McCartney said of the recordings: "There's a lot of energy and spirit. We are going for it, not holding back at all, trying to put in the best performance of our lifetimes."
The Beatles enjoyed a close relationship with the BBC, using the airtime offered to develop their live performances. Between March 1962 and June 1965, 275 unique musical performances by The Beatles were broadcast by the BBC. The group played songs on 39 radio shows in 1963 alone.
Sir Paul said: "We'd been raised on the BBC radio programmes. One of the big things in our week was Saturday Club – this great show was playing the kind of music we loved, so that was something we really aspired to."
The album includes The Beatles' tribute to the BBC's most important pop show of the early '60s – "Happy Birthday, Dear Saturday Club".
On Air also includes different versions of 30 Beatles classics including I Saw Her Standing There and cover versions of Ray Charles' "I Got A Woman," and two songs they learned from Carl Perkins, "Glad All Over" and "Sure To Fall."
On Air – Live at the BBC Volume 2 will be released in a special 180-gram vinyl package with a 48-page booklet as well as on CD and download. Live At The BBC sold 5 million copies and has also been remastered for reissue.

Lost WiFi and laggy boot ups after update to 4.4.2. Is there a quicker fix?
Note: this is technically an HTC edition of the One M8, but I gutted it with stock android like a boss, but that shouldn't matter since the rom was perfect until this update...
I understand that the only fix for this seemingly common issue may be the only option I have at this point, and that is a factory reset, but just as a sort of last resort to the vigorous googling i've been doing in an attempt to find a solution that doesn't involve resetting my phone.
The problem: My wifi seems unresponsive. The on/off switch moves, but nothing lights up and no routers appear (not even saved ones). The bluetooth is fine, and I tried a quick power cycle which caused me to find out the other problem possibly linked to the main one :
The boot up is incredibly laggy for a good minute or two until it suddenly feels like snapping into action and working smoothly (minus the WiFi).
I guess you could say I'm too lazy to have to get all my apps back to where I originally put them. It would be easier this time since all the apps would return via my play account. I would still much rather use a quicker solution to this problem if there is one. I already spent hours on the logistics of putting stock android on this thing.

School registration centers for new students open Sept. 1–18Written by Lydie Raschka Monday, 31 August 2015 16:05
Students who are new to New York City public schools, or who are re-entering city schools after a time away, can enroll in school at temporary registration centers set up across the city beginning Sept. 1.
The centers are open Monday–Friday, 8 am–3 pm through Sept. 18, with the exception of Sept. 7, Labor Day, and Sept. 14-15 for Rosh Hashanah. Family Welcome Centers will be closed until Sept. 21.
All high school students as well as elementary and middle school students who do not have a zoned school must go to a registration center to enroll in school.
Elementary and middle schools students who have a zoned school, including special education students who have a current New York City–issued IEP (individualized education plan), should wait until the first day of school, Sept. 9, to register directly at their zoned school. Regardless of whether or not you have a zoned school, new students with IEPs from outside of New York City should go to a registration center.
Students with more restrictive or specialized needs may also visit a Committee on Special Education (CSE) location. For more information, including CSE locations, call 311 or visit nyc.gov/schools.
Harlem parents blast District 5 superintendentWritten by Clara Hemphill Tuesday, 18 August 2015 11:36
For years, central Harlem's public schools have been among the worst in the city—and parents have felt powerless to do anything about it. Now, activist parents in District 5 are organizing to demand change.
Community Education Council meetings in District 5—once sleepy, sparsely attended events—have become a forum for parents' anger over the state of their schools. "Parents realize that they have a voice," said Rashidah White, a District 5 parent and former president of CEC 5.
A majority of the newly elected District 5 CEC members, who took office in July, are vocal critics of longtime superintendent Gale Reeves. And, while their role is largely advisory, council members hope that casting light on long-standing problems will force school officials to act.
2015 test scores released; parents can find them onlineWritten by Pamela Wheaton Wednesday, 12 August 2015 15:58
New York City students performed slightly better on state standardized tests in 2015 than they did in 2014, but about two-thirds of test-takers in grades 3–8 still failed to meet state standards on either the ELA (English language arts) or math tests, according to figures released by the state education department today. The so-called "opt-out" movement gained momentum this year with nearly 2 percent of eligible New York City students refusing to take the tests, the city said; statewide some 20 percent of 3rd–8th-graders sat them out.
Math scores continue to be somewhat higher than ELA, with 35.2 percent of students meeting the standards—scoring a 3 or 4 on the Common Core–aligned exams, as compared to 34.2 percent last year. Only 30.4 percent of students passed the reading exam, up from 28.4 percent last year.
Parents can find their child's test scores on their NYC Schools parent account. If you don't yet have an account, you can contact your school, or local school district, to help you set it up. Scores for individual schools and districts are now posted on the Department of Education's website.
The gap in scores among ethnic groups remains large throughout the city and state. "Black and Hispanic students face a discouraging achievement gap," said State Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia in a conference call with reporters. Similar to last year, more than 50 percent of white and Asian students in the city scored 3 or 4 on the English test, while only about 19 percent of black and Hispanic students did. In math, 67 percent of Asians passed, compared to 57 percent of whites, 24 percent of Hispanics and 19 percent of black students. [See the chart above].
Students with special needs and those learning to speak English fared the worst: Only 4 percent of English language learners passed the English test and 14 percent passed the math. Of the students with disabilities, nearly 7 percent scored a 3 or 4 on English and 11 percent on math, down slightly from last year.
For more coverage of the 2015 exams and the opt-out movement, see Chalkbeat New York. The DOE's press release about city scores is here.
Last-minute pre-k search? See best bets in BrooklynWritten by Lydie Raschka Tuesday, 11 August 2015 12:33
As September looms and school waitlists clear (or don't), many Brooklyn families with rising pre-kindergartners approach a time of reckoning. Maybe you've been holding out for a popular neighborhood program but the waitlist hasn't budged, maybe you just moved to a new area, or maybe something about the program your child was assigned to doesn't feel quite right.
Have hope, Brooklynites: Established programs have expanded in the borough, while many religious schools, child care centers and free-standing pre-k centers are offering pre-k for the first time and still have open seats. Information on some of these programs is scarce, but we've done our best to recommend available pre-k's for your 4-year-old based on insights from our school reviews, Department of Education data and interviews.
Below you'll find our best bets of available programs organized by district to help you get started, but don't be shy: It's always a good idea to call a program and visit yourself.

Still looking for pre-k? Here are our picksWritten by Lydie Raschka Tuesday, 11 August 2015 12:09
There are still pre-kindergarten seats available for the fall—not just in public schools but also in religious schools, child care centers and community organizations.
Some of the most popular programs are seriously oversubscribed, and there is a shortage of seats in some neighborhoods (such as the Upper West Side and Bayside, Queens.) Still, it doesn't hurt to put your name on a waitlist at a popular program while you check out others. Families who applied in the second round of pre-k admissions must decide by Aug. 21 whether to accept their offer.
The good news: Some well-established programs have expanded—and still have room. Many religious schools and child care agencies are offering public pre-k for the first time and haven't filled their seats.
Information is scarce on a lot of these programs, but we've done our best to identify a few we can recommend based on the data available. Be sure to visit: It's a bad sign if a program is unwilling to let you see the classrooms. Watch our video on "What to look for in a pre-kindergarten" and read our tips.
HS Hustle: What do students actually read? Not "The Great Gatsby"!Written by Liz Willen Tuesday, 11 August 2015 10:37
The writer F. Scott Fitzgerald made his way to our dinner table earlier this summer, during a casual chat about the most essential books to read before entering college. We had plenty of recent New York City public high school graduates ticking off their suggestions.
Among them: Bronte's Jane Eyre, Austen's Pride and Prejudice, Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, Orwell's 1984, Huxley's Brave New World, Salinger's Catcher in the Rye, Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises, Heller's Catch-22, Dickens' Great Expectations, James' Washington Square, Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
Yet it soon became apparent that many of the "Must Reads" hadn't made their way into classrooms, much to my dismay. I pictured a fictional Fitzgerald looking at my younger son in amazement when he acknowledged he'd graduated from high school having never been assigned the author's masterpiece, The Great Gatsby.
College Counselor: After failing out...should I go back?Written by Dr. Jane S. Gabin Monday, 10 August 2015 14:57
Q: After I graduated from high school in 2006, I went to community college. But I wasn't prepared mentally or physically; I quit going to classes, gave up, and failed out. Now I am 24 and feel ready to take getting a degree seriously. I live in a town where there aren't any counselors who will give genuine advice because I am low-income. I am interested in psychology. I've always felt like I was made for helping people, and being a therapist is the career meant for me. Am I too old to get this degree, and how do I begin this long journey? Please help me—and be honest.
A: Honestly, it's not too late! Although it does not seem young to you, 24 is delightfully young and full of promise. But even if you were 34, 44, 54—I'd say the same thing: it is never too late to learn. Actually, you are in a good spot—since you have experienced the real world for a few years, you are mature enough to realize that education is a serious thing. On the whole, professors themselves find that older students are more dedicated, insightful, and full of purpose than many 18 or 19 year olds.
Students caught in algebra whirlpool, says reportWritten by Laura Zingmond Monday, 10 August 2015 09:36
Algebra is a gateway course—the foundation for higher-level math and a critical hurdle that New York students must clear in order to graduate. Eighth- and 9th-graders who do well in it are steered to more advanced courses that prepare them for college and good jobs. Yet in New York City, nearly half of all students fail the Algebra Regents exam on the first try, and thousands end up re-taking the exam multiple times, caught in what educators call the "algebra whirlpool."
A new policy brief, the third in a series on math and science education by Insideschools and the Center for New York City Affairs, examines factors that fuel the algebra whirlpool. It also highlights what some schools are doing to help struggling students who lack the mathematics foundation to master algebra by 9th grade pass the course and move on to higher-level math.
Reporters from Insideschools visited more than 100 middle and high schools and found that with the rollout of the Common Core standards, many educators have been thinking about new ways to teach algebra and to structure class time so students fully understand the material. We also found that there is heightened attention in school to getting algebra instruction right, given the importance that higher–level math plays in college readiness and careers.
8th-graders train peers to get into high schoolWritten by Pamela Wheaton Wednesday, 29 July 2015 14:47
Applying to high school in New York City can be a full-time job for 8th-graders and their families. Students who don't have an adult to help them have an even harder time navigating the system—and making the most of their options. Now, in two city neighborhoods, an innovative Department of Education program trains students to help each other through the process.
Modeled after a successful high school college access program, the Middle School Success Centers began as a pilot program on the Lower East Side and in Cypress Hills in late 2013, targeting neighborhoods where students could really use the help.
At IS 171 in Cypress Hills, counselors from the Cypress Hills Local Development Corporation offer intensive high school choice counseling and training for youth leaders in one of the poorest communities in the city. The middle school youth leaders are trained in a summer program and commit to working with their fellow students during lunch hour and after school to help them understand the admissions process and make good choices on their high school applications. They apply for the job and are paid $50 per month.
Summer assignment: Read our Q&A on specialized high schoolsWritten by Laura Zingmond Tuesday, 28 July 2015 12:24
The New York City Department of Education (DOE) just wrapped up their summer-time series of high school admissions workshops, including several that focused on the city's nine specialized high schools. Bronx Science, Brooklyn Latin, Brooklyn Tech, High School for American Studies, High School for Math, Science and Engineering, LaGuardia, Queens High School for the Sciences, Staten Island Tech, and Stuyvesant. Didn't make it to a workshop? Don't worry. You can find a recap of the July high school information sessions here, and there will be plenty of opportunities to learn about the specialized high schools in the fall at open houses and at the city- and borough-wide high school fairs.
Meanwhile here's a heads-up on what you can be doing this summer to prepare.
If you're interested in attending one of the eight, test-in specialized high schools, you'll need to take the SHSAT (Specialized High School Admissions Test). You'll also need to study for the SHSAT and if you haven't done so already, summer is a great time to prep for the exam.
LaGuardia is the only specialized high school that does not require students to take the SHSAT. Instead, students are admitted based on an audition (and portfolio if applying to the art studio) as well as their middle school grades, state test scores and attendance records. Just like taking the SHSAT, students need to prepare for auditions. You can learn more about LaGuardia's audition process on the school's website. This year for the first time a dozen arts schools, including LaGuardia, have common audition components, so you don't have to prepare different auditions for each school. Check page 15 of the high school directory for the participating schools.

Shots fired outside Eldon Lane Working Men's Club
- 14 July 2013
- From the section Tees

|casa de campo
Fuimos con familia y amigos. Los niños lo pasaron en grande igual que los mayores. El entorno y la casa espectaculares. La casa es grande y está muy limpia. La Guardesa es un encanto y Emilio estuvo todo el tiempo muy pendiente de todo y de todos. Gracias por hacer de nuestra escapada, un lujo!!!
We stayed at this property at the end of our trip. Our group consisted of
2 couples and we stayed 2 nights. I wish we would have stayed longer and the experience left us asking why would we go anywhere else.
The house is beautiful and the views from the patios are etched in my mind. The sunsets in Recas are like none I have ever seen. Emilio was such a kind, caring, serving man, that he humbled me with how much he gave to us. It was my best friend's birthday, and he worked with her husband to throw her the most incredible surprise birthday party, complete with the best cake in all of Spain and musicians that sang and played guitar while we danced the night away.
Emilio planned a day trip for us to do wine tasting and we also visited Toledo. It was yet another amazing experience.
I can't say enough about what an unforgettable stay this was and how much Emilio gave to us-making sure every last detail was taken care of.
The property is between Toledo and Madrid. It is about 10 minutes from Toledo and 45 minutes from Madrid. It is definitely off the beaten path-a cab driver when we're back in Madrid was impressed we spent time in Recas. I would recommend having a car to get there as it is in the countryside.
A piece of my heart will always stay in Recas and I can't wait to go back!
I do not know how to adequately describe the experience we had at this beautiful villa, other than it was beyond anything I could have imagined. Emilio and his family provided a level of attention that exceeds anything you could get at the finest hotels across the globe. If you want/need anything, you tell Emilio and he will make it happen. He stocked the kitchen for us so it was full of delicious treats, wines, and cavas. One of the finest chefs in Spain, Chef Roberto Capone, prepared my birthday dinner on the terrace overlooking Castille La Mancha at sunset. Emilio then arranged for live Spanish music and dancing into the wee hours. Did I mention my birthday cake was prepared by one of the finest pastry chefs in Spain? This is just one of many examples of the type of service you will receive at this villa from Emilio. He also arranged for a perfect day of wine tasting around Toledo, complete with a driver who spoke English.
The house is a beautiful old farmhouse, which has been restored, but still gives you the feeling of life 200 years ago. It is very clean and well-maintained. It has all of the modern amenities you would expect, air conditioning, a pool, beautiful kitchen, comfortable beds. You are surrounded by nature, but can be in Toledo in 15 minutes. The sunsets last for an hour and a beautiful rose colored sky can be seen for miles.
This is a true retreat and respite from hectic world we all live in. It is why you vacation. To experience even just a few days of peace, pampering, beauty and the company of new friends. We will never forget our beautiful experience at this beautiful villa. Thank you, Emilio!!!
I went with 4 friends to Toledo to see the El Greco exhibition, and we decided to spend two nights in these premises.
I must say I was stunned by the high quality of the furniture and all the luxury of the place in general, which was incredibly big but very clean though. I definitely recommend it for longer periods, since it is in an area on which you can do plenty of different activities, from riding to oenology. Despite being winter, we were very lucky with the weather, since it was sunny both days.
Caveat: the place is so in the countryside, which means you should consider renting a car to move around, otherwise you may have to walk a lot.
Muchas gracias por todo! Muy agradable, tranquilo y relajante. Servicio perfecto

15 people have been arrested after an attack on England fans in Brazil left 10 people in hospital at a bar in Sao Paulo near Fifa's Fan Fest, where a fire cracker was thrown at them before England's disappointing 2-1 defeat to Uruguay.
LIVE: Follow the latest news from Italy v Costa Rica, plus news from Switzerland v France and Honduras v Ecuador
Brazilian police have confirmed that they arrested 15 people following the attack outside two bars on the Avenida Sao Joao. It happened at around 1.30pm local time, two-and-a-half hours before England's crucial Group D clash with the Uruguayans began.
Police have said that all those arrested were Brazilian, and they were seen wearing hoods and dark clothing when they allegedly threw a bomb towards fans standing outside the Guanabara Bar and the Planeta Fruta snack bar. Other reports claim that petrol bombs and mortars were used in the attack.
They also reported that they seized six rockets, a set of brass knuckles, a dagger, a mouth guard and fireworks from the group, who were seen to hurl mortars at the fans before ripping up the St George's Cross flags that the England fans had in support of Roy Hodgson's side.

Kept Welbeck quiet for long periods and was solid in the tackle. 6

Youngster showed no nerves in his first World Cup start. 7

4/22 Diego Godin
Extremely fortunate to stay on the field following a first half foul on Sturridge, having already been booked. 5
Getty Images
5/22 Alvaro Pereira
Battled well at left-back and showed great heart to continue having been knocked out by Sterling's knee. 7
Getty Images
6/22 Alvaro Gonzalez
Offered plenty of support to his Caceres in keeping Sterling and Welbeck under wraps. 6
Getty Images
7/22 Egidio Rios
Veteran showed his experience in battling well in midfield. 6
8/22 Nicolas Lodeiro
Fitted in well in midfield, and started the move that brought Uruguay their first goal. 7
Getty Images
9/22 Cristian Rodriguez
Went close to scoring a first half screamer, but faded as the game went on. 6
Getty Images
10/22 Edinson Cavani
Has been poor in front of goal this World Cup, but set up the opener with a delightful cross for his strike-partner. 7
Getty Images
11/22 Luis Suarez
Clearly not fully fit, but that didn't hamper his finishing. The Liverpool striker has two chances in front of goal and buried them both with deadly efficiency. 8
Getty Images
12/22 Joe Hart
Blameless for Suarez's goal and generally impressive against Uruguay's early pressure. Reacted sharply to two difficult Suarez corners to his near post. 6
Getty Images
13/22 Glen Johnson
England needed quality from their experienced right-back and Johnson, who struggled at first, delivered it with the cross for Rooney's goal. 5
Getty Images
14/22 Gary Cahill
Not as responsible as Jagielka for the goal and generally kept his head above water until the second goal, when he was caught off-guard by Suarez. 5
Getty Images
15/22 Phil Jagielka
Has struggled to contain Luis Suarez in the past and last night was no different, as he lost the Liverpool striker who peeled away from him to score. 4
Getty Images
16/22 Leighton Baines
Worked hard up and down the left-flank but, as in the Italy game, his final-third quality was not quite as good as it needs to be. 5
Getty Images
17/22 Steven Gerrard
England needed leadership and control in the middle but Gerrard was poor again, failing to keep the ball and losing the ball for both of Suarez's goals. 4
Getty Images
18/22 Jordan Henderson
Ran hard without the ball but failed to make much of a contribution going forward as England lacked ideas in the middle of the pitch. 5
Getty Images
19/22 Raheem Sterling
Not as impressive as he was against Italy, Sterling did try to run at opponents, with not much success. The first to be taken off. 5
Getty Images
20/22 Danny Welbeck
Tried to stretch Uruguay, running in behind, but England could not get him the ball quickly enough and he failed to use well it when they did. 5
Getty Images
21/22 Wayne Rooney
Restored to his preferred No 10 role, Rooney looked eager and although nothing came off at first, he persevered for the late tap-in. 6
Getty Images
22/22 Daniel Sturridge
Far less impressive than against Italy, less incisive with his movement, less responsible with his hold-up play and less dangerous in the penalty area. 4
Getty Images
Owner of the Planeta Fruta snack bar Reginaldo Pereira said that the attacks are a common thing whenever the city hosts a big event, and they don't get much bigger than the Fifa World Cup.
"It was very fast," said Pereira. "They rushed into the area trying to hit everyone, breaking things up and throwing bombs.
"Every time we have big events this happens. Everybody ran inside the bar when things kicked off."
A Northern Ireland fan named only as Dallas was at the scene of the attack when it took place and managed to take photographs on his phone, claiming that he wasn't scared as he was used to seeing bombs in his homeland.
"The guys jumped on a bus to try to escape, and then the police went after them," said Dallas.
"I'm from Northern Ireland, we have bombs there too. So these things don't scare me."

Police chief Joao Prado Romao later told Brazilian newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo: "They had come very well prepared."
He also said that no-one was injured in the attack.
A spokesman for British police officers based in Brazil for the World Cup said no British nationals had been injured.Reuse content

Who are we
Crew Property Improvement Specialists was founded in 2001 by Eric Schneller for the purpose of helping homeowners complete multiple maintenance tasks in one appointment. People told us that they were going crazy having to be home for multiple types of service providers, and they just wanted one company to do it all. There were small handymen in a truck, but they could seldom be trusted to do all the different types of jobs well, and were not always available. Larger companies had no interest in smaller jobs, they just wanted to do room additions, and the big money jobs.
Eric created Crew to be a "mid sized general contractor", able to take care of all your potential needs at one time. Crew was a 6 time in a row Angie's List Super Service Award winner and an FC Tucker Home Link Top Ten Company before closing down during the housing crisis in 2010. We are now reopening and commit to serving you in just as good a way as we did before. If you need speed and convenience and quality, please give Crew a call and let us show you how painless home maintenance and remodeling can be!
Handyman, Major remodel (kitchens, bathrooms, basements), and Home Inspection Sheet issues for realtors. Most jobs are bid ahead of time by the job, but if speed is an urgent issue for you and you just want a technician to come and bid the job and be ready to do the work right then and there, we can do that as well.
For any repairs around the house, be they big or small, Crew can help you in one stop. We do these in a couple different ways, depending on how you'd like it. We can either send a technician who will price it right then and be ready to do the work on the spot, OR we can have an estimator come and take a look at your project(s) and give you a quote for your approval. Once you've approved the estimate, we would then schedule a technician to come and do the repairs at a time convenient for you. We encourage you to have a list of items compiled for us, and we'll price them one by one for your approval.
Inspection Sheets for Realtors
Realtors have told us repeatedly how difficult and annoying it can be to have to deal with multiple service providers to solve the issues that a home inspection has caused to their buyer or seller. Meeting multiple providers on different days and times, being the middle man for scheduling issues, answering questions about the work, and more. What Crew does is this: Send us the inspection sheet via email and we can either give you a ballpark quote where we give you either a specific price or a tight price range, usually within a couple hours, OR we can go to the home and give a specific price quote on each item that the home inspector has cited. Each line item will be priced, so you and your clients can pick and choose which items you'd like repaired. We will then schedule those with you for a time that works for you and your clients. You won't have to go to the home at all, we'll take care of everything!
Major Remodels
If you've got a kitchen, bathroom, or basement that needs freshening up, let our master craftsmen help you make your dream a reality. We'll help you design all the great and fun things that make your renovation sparkle. From design to clean up, we'll make the experience a memorable one.

Color fading from brilliant fall hiking season
HIKING -- Last month I emphasized that the hunting seasons shouldn't deter hikers from getting out to enjoy the region's trails during the brilliant autumn show of colors.
Ann Fennessy and her husband second that motion. As Ann said in an email, the season can be full of discoveries, for hikers and their companions:
My husband and I had a beautiful hike this past Friday close to Chewelah Peak. Our Golden Doodle, Mae, bailed out over the trail for a moment, then returned with a dog's version of a rich man's home on Halloween: the remains of a field-dressed deer. We couldn't see the carcass, but the hunter had kindly sawed the bones into 8-9" sections: perfect for each of our hounds to find a hunk and carry it along for the rest of the hike.
Oh, Lord, were they prancing and dancing! Occasionally, they just had to flop down and gnaw their treasure for a minute. Bob and I were happy to pause and let them savor while we savored the surroundings.
As you can see, we are decked out in fairly visible gear. I do get nervous hiking at this time of year, but take precautions. Plus, my husband and I carry on conversations most of the time and we stick to the trails.
A couple of weeks and a couple of wind storms later, the larch are losing their golden needles and the autumn hiking season is fading away.

Edwin Alemany indicted in Amy Lord slaying; also charged in 2012 case overlooked by police
Edwin J. Alemany allegedly committed "blitz-like" attacks on four women in Boston, including a September 2012 attack on a Mission Hill woman that was not thoroughly investigated by Boston police — and the kidnapping and murder of Amy Lord in South Boston some nine months later, authorities said today.
Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley outlined the host of charges Alemany now faces for what the prosecutor called a "violent spree'' that also included attacks on two other women in South Boston, one shortly before Lord's July 23 murder and one 18 hours after.
"The attacks were all blitz-like physical assaults where the victims were immediately overwhelmed with violence,'' Conley said, adding that all the victims were women between the ages of 20 and 24 who were attacked while walking alone late at night or in the early morning.
Alemany had previously been charged in district court with Lord's murder and the attacks directly before and after Lord's slaying. He pleaded not guilty and is undergoing mental evaluation in Bridgewater State Hospital.
Conley announced at the news conference that a grand jury had handed up a consolidated indictment charging Alemany with all four attacks. The indictment will move the case to Superior Court.
Conley said it was a "challenging case but a compelling one." Alemany allegedly kidnapped Lord, beat her, forced her to drive her car to ATMs to withdraw money, and then murdered her in the Stony Brook Reservation in Hyde Park. Alemany then drove Lord's Jeep back to South Boston where he set it afire in an effort to eradicate forensic evidence, Conley said.
"There is an unmistakable clarity of mind in his actions, especially on the morning of July 23,'' Conley said. "The homicide of Amy Lord was savage and brutal. The level of violence visited on her shocked the entire city of Boston, including hardened police and prosecutors with decades of experience.''
Jeffrey Denner, Alemany's defense attorney, said he had not yet decided whether he would mount an insanity defense. But he disputed Conley's assertion that Alemany acted with a clear mind during the wave of attacks this July.
"The observations I have made of Mr. Alemany don't lead me to that same conclusion," Denner said. "I think this has been an incredibly sick young man for a long period of time."
Alemany, by the time he was 18, already had a long history of serious mental health issues. In the years that followed, he repeatedly came into contact with the criminal justice justice system, largely for relatively minor crimes like theft and trespassing, but also for acting erratically or threatening to kill himself or others, the Globe has reported.
Lord, a young digital marketer, had come to the city after growing up the eldest of three daughters in Wilbraham, a town of about 15,000 nearly two hours west of Boston.
Once police identified Alemany as a suspect in Lord's killing, investigators discovered that police may have had a chance to arrest him in September 2012 when he allegedly attacked a woman from behind as she was walking in Mission Hill.
The woman fought back, dislodged a wallet with Alemany's ID card in it and also knocked off a baseball cap. But Alemany was never questioned by Boston police detectives, and then-Boston police commissioner Edward Davis disciplined four detectives — the lead investigator and three supervisors.
Conley said today that DNA evidence found on the baseball cap was "strongly consistent" with Alemany's DNA, which strengthened the connection already established by the ID card and led to Alemany being charged in the attack.
Acting Boston Police Commissioner William Evans said "proper discipline" was meted out for the mishandling of the 2012 case and "new practices" have been established.
"We're putting additional management practices into effect so nothing like this happens again," he said.
Alemany is also charged with attacking a woman on July 23 around 5 a.m. as she walked on Old Colony Avenue in South Boston, Conley said. He alleged that Alemany struck her in the face and knocked her to the ground.
Alemany then "dragged her by the legs into a parking lot off of Old Colony Avenue. As he did so, he allegedly told her he wasn't going to rob her, he was going to kill her,'' Conley said. Alemany eventually fled on foot without further harming the woman.
After that attack, Alemany allegedly kidnapped and killed Lord. But that did not mark the end of his rampage.
Shortly after midnight on July 24, he attacked a third woman in South Boston on Gates Street, Conley said. Alemany rushed the woman on her stairwell and began stabbing her without provocation, Conley said. Screams from the woman alerted neighbors, who called 911, he said.
The woman was rushed to Tufts Medical Center for treatment of serious injuries to her torso, face, and neck.
Next came a crucial break for the police.
At the same time as the victim was getting care, Alemany showed up in the hospital emergency room bleeding from a serious wound on his left hand caused when he stabbed the woman, Conley said.
The woman had given a description of her attacker. Paramedics realized Alemany matched the woman's description and police arrested him.
Conley today described Alemany as a "petty thief'' whose criminal history was never marked by the level of violence he allegedly engaged in starting in 2012. "We may never know what sparked that change in his behavior,'' Conley said.
Conley said his office notified Lord's family today about the indictments and renewed officials' promise to her family that Alemany will be held accountable for her death.
