'They say ours is a religion of forgiveness, but I will never forgive them' – Iraqi Christians talk about ISIS cruelty
Keep watch on yourselves! 'If your brother does something wrong, rebuke him and, if he is sorry, forgive him. And if he wrongs you seven times a day and seven times comes back to you and says, "I am sorry," you must forgive him.' -Luke 17: 3-4
According to CBS, ISIS has resorted to using guerilla tactics in their desperate fight against the onslaught from US-backed Iraqi troops.
The terrorist organization has resorted to homemade explosives, networks of subterranean tunnels and suicide bombers.
Evidence of the war is everywhere from the warplanes in the sky to the filthy water draining from dilapidated areas of Mosul.
Christian refugees who managed to escape the terror in Mosul told CNN their homes and their people have been ravaged, leaving no home to return to.
"When we left it was all over for us," Anne Danyale shared. "We lost our homes, our memories…everything. We even lost our jobs, which we had worked hard for all our lives…I don't think we'll ever go back. It's too hard."
After fleeing the only home they ever knew, Danyale shared even if she had an opportunity to return to Mosul, she would rather start fresh in Australia, her soon-to-be new home country.
"I do not want my children to live through the same experience again," she said. "We paid the price and I don't want to go back in a few years and go through it again.
"There is constant violence in Iraq. It's never quiet. We had a much better life before the fall of the regime."
Before ISIS appeared, Christians were kidnapped, churches were bombed, some were killed and many were made homeless. When the terrorists arrived, Christians knew they had to get out.
"They are trying to wipe out all our history," Danyale said. "It's why they forced us out. But they don't know that in our hearts we will remain Iraqis, and our grandchildren will always say they are from Mosul."
Father Khalil Jaar, who has spent the last two years helping refugees flee Iraq and Syria, said: "There is no hope for [Christians] in Iraq. We have a big new arrival almost every week. We have families arriving from Mosul, Erbil and Baghdad.
"…Perhaps Christianity will disappear from the Middle East," he admitted. "As a priest, I am not afraid because for the Christians, the believers, this is a holy land.
"We don't have a temple, our churches have been destroyed, but it doesn't matter — our heart is the temple of the Lord and so wherever we go, we have to live our faith."
While refugees seek help in other countries, women and children near Mosul are fleeing in droves as Iraqi forces clear Mosul and its surrounding villages.
ISIS is losing the war but the destruction required to destroy them has left the sky black with smoke and the ground littered with debris, garbage and bodies.
There have been 32 air strikes in the area this week, destroying 136 ISIS fighting positions, 18 tunnels and 26 car bombs.
Bartalla, a Christian town 10 miles east of Mosul has been taken from ISIS clutches and Qaraqosh, formerly the largest Christian town in all of Iraq, is currently engaged in battle.
In Bartella, Daily Mail reported every Christian church was strewn with graffiti, a statue of the Virgin Mary was destroyed, piles of Bibles were burned and a statue of Christ was beheaded.
The destruction reveals the hatred ISIS has for Christians, a hatred Danyale is all too familiar with.
Danyale lights a candle at the shrine of the Virgin Mary every day from the safety of Jordan.
"They say ours is a religion of forgiveness, but I will never forgive them," she said of the terrorist group.
"What we witnessed and what we left behind…how they drove us out. I will never forgive them…I pray that God punishes them for what they did to us."

1 x Demo Unit Only
We describe the M1 CLiC as a universal music controller for all your digital and analogue sources.
Essentially it combines a high-quality streamed music player, internet radio, 24-bit/192kHz digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) and pre-amplifier in one compact box.
The M1 CLiC sports seven digital connections. A USB socket on the front panel makes it easy to quickly connect an iPod/iPhone, memory stick or hard drive. Around the back you'll find an iPod dock connector, one optical and two coaxial inputs, a USB DAC input and an Ethernet network socket. There's also a wi-fi antenna if you want to wirelessly stream music or access internet radio.
Providing further flexibility, the M1 CLiC's three analogue inputs are pure analogue from beginning to end.
Digital inputs feed into the 24bit, 192kHz DAC at the heart of the M1 CLiC, a reclocking, upsampling design with extremely low distortion and excellent linearity.
The M1 CLiC happily handles the following formats: FLAC (up to 24bit/192kHz wired; 24bit/96kHz wireless); WMA/9 (up to 16bit/48Hz); AAC and HE-AAC (up to 24bit/96Hz); LPCM (up to 24bit/192kHz wired; 24bit/96kHz wireless); Ogg vorbis (up to 16bit/32kHz) and MP3 (up to 16bit/48kHz).
Internet radio is handled via vTuner, a proven and reliable platform that offers excellent speed, quality and ease of use.
The M1 CLiC has both fixed and variable outputs, meaning it can be used as a standalone pre-amplifier - a compact pairing for a power amplifier or active speakers - or a source component feeding into the integrated or pre/power amp of your choice. Its low output impedance, plus high current drive capacity, means it will easily drive a wide range of amps.

Oil prices rose March 17, helped by a weaker dollar, as investors weighed the impact of OPEC production cuts against rising U.S. shale oil output and persistently high inventories.
Saudi Energy Minister Khalid al-Falih said March 16 oil output cuts by OPEC and non-OPEC producers could be extended beyond June if oil stocks stayed above a long-term average.
But analysts said the comments gave limited support because Riyadh has said it needs cooperation to rebalance the market and non-OPEC producers, such as Russia, have yet to deliver fully on reduction commitments in the first half of 2017.
RELATED: OPEC: Oil Stocks Keep Rising Despite Supply Cut Deal
Brent crude was up 27 cents at $52.01 per barrel (bbl) by 8:53 a.m. CT (13:53 GMT). U.S. West Texas Intermediate light crude was up 24 cents at $48.99.
"The market remains relatively calm today with concerns about having to extend the production cut deal being offset by a weaker dollar," said Ole Hansen, Saxo Bank head of commodity strategy.
Oil prices, which lost ground earlier March 17, have found some support from dollar weakness after the U.S. Federal Reserve indicated it would not accelerate plans for rate rises. The fall in the greenback boosted dollar-denominated crude.
Investors will also look for more direction from data due later on March 17. The Baker Hughes Inc. (NYSE: BHI) weekly rig count will indicate activity in the U.S. shale industry and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission releases calculations of net long and short positions in the crude futures market.
Oil prices fell sharply last week on concerns that OPEC-led production cuts were not reducing the global supply overhang as quickly as expected in the face of increased U.S. output.
OPEC and non-OPEC members reached agreement last year to cut output by a combined 1.8 MMbbl/d in the first half of 2017.
But OPEC's monthly report showed global oil inventories rose in January to 278 MMbbl above the five-year average.
Investors took some comfort from a dip in U.S. stockpiles in the week to March 10, after nine weekly rises. However, the fall in U.S. inventories was a modest 237,000 bbl, leaving 528 MMbbl in storage, close to record highs.
In a further sign that OPEC's efforts have had little impact so far, oil shipments to Asia have increased 3% since the OPEC supply cut deal was made.

The present invention claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent application Ser. No. 60/479,339 filed on Jun. 18, 2003, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates, in general, to enhancing the efficiency and utilization of memory bandwidth in reconfigurable hardware. More specifically, the invention relates to implementing explicit memory hierarchies in reconfigurable processors that make efficient use of off-board, on-board, on-chip storage and available algorithm locality. These explicit memory hierarchies avoid many of the tradeoffs and complexities found in the traditional memory hierarchies of microprocessors.
2. Relevant Background
Over the past 30 years, microprocessors have enjoyed annual performance gains averaging about 50% per year. Most of the gains can be attributed to higher processor clock speeds, more memory bandwidth and increasing utilization of instruction level parallelism (ILP) at execution time.
As microprocessors and other dense logic devices (DLDs) consume data at ever-increasing rates it becomes more of a challenge to design memory hierarchies that can keep up. Two measures of the gap between the microprocessor and memory hierarchy are bandwidth efficiency and bandwidth utilization. Bandwidth efficiency refers to the ability to exploit available locality in a program or algorithm. In the ideal situation, when there is maximum bandwidth efficiency, all available locality is utilized. Bandwidth utilization refers to the amount of memory bandwidth that is utilized during a calculation. Maximum bandwidth utilization occurs when all available memory bandwidth is utilized.
Potential performance gains from using a faster microprocessor can be reduced or even negated by a corresponding drop in bandwidth efficiency and bandwidth utilization. Thus, there has been significant effort spent on the development of memory hierarchies that can maintain high bandwidth efficiency and utilization with faster microprocessors.
One approach to improving bandwidth efficiency and utilization in memory hierarchies has been to develop ever more powerful processor caches. These caches are high-speed memories (typically SRAM) in close proximity to the microprocessor that try to keep copies of instructions and data the microprocessor may soon need. The microprocessor can store and retrieve data from the cache at a much higher rate than from a slower, more distant main memory.
In designing cache memories, there are a number of considerations to take into account. One consideration is the width of the cache line. Caches are arranged in lines to help hide memory latency and exploit spatial locality. When a load suffers a cache miss, a new cache line is loaded from main memory into the cache. The assumption is that a program being executed by the microprocessor has a high degree of spatial locality, making it likely that other memory locations in the cache line will also be required.
For programs with a high degree of spatial locality (e.g., stride-one access), wide cache lines are more efficient since they reduce the number of times a processor has to suffer the latency of a memory access. However, for programs with lower levels of spatial locality, or random access, narrow lines are best as they reduce the wasted bandwidth from the unused neighbors in the cache line. Caches designed with wide cache lines perform well with programs that have a high degree of spatial locality, but generally have poor gather/scatter performance. Likewise, caches with short cache lines have good gather/scatter performance, but loose efficiency executing programs with high spatial locality because of the additional runs to the main memory.
Another consideration in cache design is cache associativity, which refers to the mapping between locations in main memory and cache sectors. At one extreme of cache associativity is a direct-mapped cache, while at another extreme is a fully associative cache. In a direct mapped-cache, a specific memory location can be mapped to only a single cache line. Direct-mapped caches have the advantage of being fast and easy to construct in logic. The disadvantage is that they suffer the maximum number of cache conflicts. At the other extreme, a fully associative cache allows a specific location in memory to be mapped to any cache line. Fully associative caches tend to be slower and more complex due to the large amount of comparison logic they need, but suffer no cache conflict misses. Oftentimes, caches fall between the extremes of direct-mapped and fully associative caches. A design point between the extremes is a k-set associative cache, where each memory location can map to k cache sectors. These caches generally have less overhead than fully associative caches, and reduce cache conflicts by increasing the value of k.
Another consideration in cache design is how cache lines are replaced due to a capacity or conflict miss. In a direct-mapped cache, there is only one possible cache line that can be replaced due to a miss. However, in caches with higher levels of associativity, cache lines can be replaced in more that one way. The way the cache lines are replaced is referred to as the replacement policy.
Options for the replacement policy include least recently used (LRU), random replacement, and first in-first out (FIFO). LRU is used in the majority of circumstances where the temporal locality set is smaller than the cache size, but it is normally more expensive to build in hardware than a random replacement cache. An LRU policy can also quickly degrade depending on the working set size. For example, consider an iterative application with a matrix size of N bytes running through a LRU cache of size M bytes. If N is less than M, then the policy has the desired behavior of 100% cache hits, however, if N is only slightly larger than M, the LRU policy results in 0% cache hits as lines are removed just as they are needed.
Another consideration is deciding on a write policy for the cache. Write-through caches send data through the cache hierarchy to main memory. This policy reduces cache coherency issues for multiple processor systems and is best suited for data that will not be re-read by the processor in the immediate future. In contrast, write-back caches place a copy of the data in the cache, but does not immediately update main memory. This type of caching works best when a data just written to the cache is quickly requested again by the processor.
In addition to write-through and write-back caches, another kind of write policy is implemented in a write-allocate cache where a cache line is allocated on a write that misses in cache. Write-allocate caches improve performance when the microprocessor exhibits a lot of write followed by read behavior. However, when writes are not subsequently read, a write-allocate cache has a number of disadvantages: When a cache line is allocated, it is necessary to read the remaining values from main memory to complete the cache line. This adds unnecessary memory read traffic during store operations. Also, when the data is not read again, potentially useful data in the cache is displaced by the unused data.
Another consideration is made between the size and the speed of the cache: small caches are typically much faster than larger caches, but store less data and fewer instructions. Less data means a greater chance the cache will not have data the microprocessor is requesting (i.e., a cache miss) which can slow everything down while the data is being retrieved from the main memory.
Newer cache designs reduce the frequency of cache misses by trying to predict in advance the data that the microprocessor will request. An example of this type of cache is one that supports speculative execution and branch prediction. Speculative execution allows instructions that likely will be executed to start early based on branch prediction. Results are stored in a cache called a reorder buffer and retired if the branch was correctly predicted. Of course, when mis-predictions occur instruction and data bandwidth are wasted.
There are additional considerations and tradeoffs in cache design, but it should be apparent from the considerations described hereinbefore that it is very difficult to design a single cache structure that is optimized for many different programs. This makes cache design particularly challenging for a multipurpose microprocessor that executes a wide variety of programs. Cache designers try to derive the program behavior of "average" program constructed from several actual programs that run on the microprocessor. The cache is optimized for the average program, but no actual program behaves exactly like the average program. As a result, the designed cache ends up being sub-optimal for nearly every program actually executed by the microprocessor. Thus, there is a need for memory hierarchies that have data storage and retrieval characteristics that are optimized for actual programs executed by a processor.
Designers trying to develop ever more efficient caches optimized for a variety of actual programs also face another problem: as caches add additional features, the overhead needed to implement the added features also grows. Caches today have so much overhead that microprocessor performance may be reaching a point of diminishing returns as the overhead starts to cut into performance. In the Intel Pentium III processor for example, more than half of the 10 million transistors are dedicated to instruction cache, branch prediction, out-of-order execution and superscalar logic. The situation has prompted predictions that as microprocessors grow to a billion transistors per chip, performance increases will drop to about 20% per year. Such a prediction, if borne out, could have a significant impact on technology growth and the computer business.
Thus, there is a growing need to develop improved memory hierarchies that limit the overhead of a memory hierarchy without also reducing bandwidth efficiency and utilization.
Accordingly, an embodiment of the invention includes a reconfigurable processor that includes a computational unit and a data access unit coupled to the computational unit, where the data access unit retrieves data from an on-processor memory and supplies the data to the computational unit, and where the computational unit and the data access unit are configured by a program.
The present invention also involves a reconfigurable processor that includes a first memory of a first type and a data prefetch unit coupled to the memory, where the data prefetch unit retrieves data from a second memory of a second type different from the first type, and the first and second memory types and the data prefetch unit are configured by a program.
Another embodiment of the invention includes a reconfigurable hardware system that includes a common memory, also referred to as external memory, and one or more reconfigurable processors coupled to the common memory, where at least one of the reconfigurable processors includes a data prefetch unit to read and write data between the unit and the common memory, and where the data prefetch unit is configured by a program executed on the system.
Another embodiment of the invention includes a method of transferring data that includes transferring data between a memory and a data prefetch unit in a reconfigurable processor, transferring data between the prefetch unit and a data access unit, and transferring the data between a computational unit and the data access unit, where the computational unit, data access unit and the data prefetch unit are configured by a program.

2. Description
A reconfigurable processor (RP) 100 implements direct executable logic (DEL) to perform computation, as well a memory hierarchy for maintaining input data and computational results. DEL is an assemblage of dynamically reconfigurable functional elements that enables a program to establish an optimized interconnection among selected functional units in order to implement a desired computational, data prefetch and/or data access functionality for maximizing the parallelism inherent in the particular code. The term DEL may also be used to refer to the set of constructs such as code, data, configuration variables, and the like that can be loaded into RP 100 to cause RP 100 to implement a particular assemblage of functional elements.
Any computer program, including complex graphics processing programs, word processing programs, database programs and the like, is a collection of algorithms that interact to implement desired functionality. In the common case in which static computing hardware resources are used (e.g., a conventional microprocessor), the computer program is compiled into a set of executable code (i.e., object code) units that are linked together to implement the computer program on the particular hardware resources. The executable code is generated specifically for a particular hardware platform. In this manner, the computer program is adapted to conform to the limitations of the static hardware platform. However, the compilation process makes many compromises based on the limitations of the static hardware platform.
Alternatively, an algorithm can be defined in a high level language then compiled into DEL. DEL can be produced via a compiler from high level programming languages such as C or FORTRAN or may be designed using a hardware definition language such as Verilog, VHDL or a schematic capture tool. Computation is performed by reconfiguring a reconfigurable processor with the DEL and flowing data through the computation. In this manner, the hardware resources are essentially adapted to conform to the program rather than the program being adapted to conform to the hardware resources.
For purposes of this description a single reconfigurable processor will be presented first. A sample of computational logic 201 is shown in
For greatest performance the DEL 200 is constructed as parallel pipelined logic blocks composed of computational functional units capable of taking data and producing results with each clock pulse. The highest possible performance that can be achieved is computation of a set of results with each clock pulse. To achieve this, data should be available at the same rate the computation can consume the data. The rate at which data can be supplied to DEL 200 is determined, at least in significant part, by the memory bandwidth utilization and efficiency. Maximal computational performance can be achieved with parallel and pipelined DEL together with maximizing the memory bandwidth utilization and efficiency. Unlike conventional static hardware platforms, however, the memory hierarchy provided in a RP 100 is reconfigurable. In accordance with the present invention, through the use of data access units and associated memory hierarchy components, computational demands and memory bandwidth can be matched.
High memory bandwidth efficiency is achieved when only data required for computation is moved within the memory hierarchy.
An important feature of the present invention is that many types of data prefetch units can be defined so that the prefetch hardware can be configured to conform to the needs of the algorithms currently implemented by the computational logic. The specific characteristics of the prefetch can be matched with the needs of the computational logic and the format and location of data in the memory hierarchy. For example,
In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, data prefetch units 601 are configured to communicate with an intelligent memory controller 603 in
FIGS. 9A/9B, 10A/10B, 11A/11B and 12A/12B show bandwidth efficiency gains that are achieved in various situations when a subset of stored data is required for computation. Applications store data in a specific order in memory. However it is often the case that the actual reference pattern required during computation is different from the ordering of data in memory. FIGS. 9A/9B, 10A/10B, 11A/11B and 12A/12B show an example of a X,Y,Z coordinate oriented data which is stored such that striding though the X axis is the most efficient for retrieving blocked data.
Coupling data prefetch units in the RP 100 with an intelligent memory controller 601 in the external memory yields a significant improvement in bandwidth efficiency and utilization. Four examples are presented in the FIGS. 9A/9B, 10A/10B, 11A/11B and 12A/12B in which the shaded memory locations indicate desired data. The Figures illustrate an intelligent memory controller's response to each of four different data prefetch unit's requests for data. Again, an important feature of the present invention is the ability to implement various kinds or styles of prefetch units to meet the needs of a particular algorithm being implemented by computational elements 301. For ease of illustration, each example shows the same set of computational logic, however, in most cases the function being implemented by components 301 would change and therefore alter the decision as to which prefetch strategy is most appropriate. In accordance with the present invention, the prefetch units are implemented in a manner that is optimized for the implemented computational logic.
FIGS. 9A/9B shows response to a request from an XY-slice data prefetch unit. FIGS. 10A/10B shows response to a XZ-slice data prefetch unit request. FIGS. 11A/11B shows response to a YZ-slice data prefetch unit request. FIGS. 12A/12D shows the response to a SubCube data prefetch unit request. In each of these examples the data prefetch units are configured to pass information to the intelligent memory controller 601 to identify the type of request that is being made, as well as a data address and parameters, in this case, defining the slice size or sub-cube size.
One of the largest bandwidth efficiency and utilization gains can be seen in the case of a Gather data prefetch unit working in cooperation with an intelligent memory controller 601.
A further bandwidth efficiency and utilization gain is made when coupling a data prefetch unit with memory controller capable of computation.
Some programming examples utilizing the memory hierarchy of the present invention will now be illustrated. The first example illustrates how a computational intensive matrix multiplication problem may be handled by the explicitly parallel and addressable storage of the present invention.
Consider the matrix multiplication C=A�B, where:
A is a matrix of size M rows by 64 columns;
B is a matrix of size 64 rows by N columns; and
C is a matrix of size M rows by N columns.
The size and shape of this problem typically arises in the context of LU decomposition in linear algebra libraries (e.g., LAPACK). The operation count for this problem would be 2*M*N*64, and the total data necessary to transport would be (M*64+N*64+M*N), making the problem quite computationally intensive.
The dot-product formulation of the matrix multiplication may be represented as the following a triple-nested loop:
for (i = 0; I<m; I++) {
for (j = 0; j< n; j++) {
sum = 0;
for (k = 0; k < 64; k++) {
sum += A[k*m*l] * B[j*64+k];
C1[i+j+mm] = sum;
On a conventional microprocessor with static execution resources, these loops would be arranged to give stride-one data access where possible and also block or tile these uses to facilitate data cache hits on the B and A matrices, which are read many times. With the configurable memory hierarchy of the present invention, matrix B may be stored in on-board BRAM memory 307 and rows of matrix A in registers.
The rows of matrix B may be stored in independently, locally declared BRAM arrays (B0, B1, . . . B63). The rows are stored as independent memory structures, and may be accessed in parallel. Rows of matrix A may be stored in 64 registers described with scalar variables. With these explicit data structures, the following pseudo code can describe the matrix multiplication:
Load B into BRAM;
for (i=0; i<m; i++) {
Load ith Row of A into registers A00 to A63;
For (j=0; j<n; j++) {
A02*b2[j]+//inner loop produces
A03*b3[j]+//128 results per
A04*b4[j]+//clock cycle. 64 rows
A05*b5[j]+//of B are read in
. . .
The code is designed to minimize the amount of data motion. The A and B matrices are read once and the C matrix is written just once at it is produced. When computational resources permit, the i loop could also be unrolled to process multiple rows of matrix A against matrix B in the inner loop. Processing two rows of A, for example, would produce 256 computational results per clock cycle.
Benchmarks have been developed for measuring the ability of a computer system to perform indirect updates. An indirect update, written in the C programming language, looks like:
for (I = 0; I < N; I++) { A[Index[I]]) = A[Index[I]] + B[I]; }
Typically, A is a large array, and Index has an unpredictable distribution. The benchmark generally forces memory references to miss in cache, and for entire cache lines to be brought in for single-word updates. The problem gets worse as memories get further away from processors and cache lines become wider.
In this example, the arrays have 64-bit data. To complete one iteration of this loop, 24 bytes of information is required from memory and 8 bytes are written back for a total of 32 bytes of memory motion per iteration. On an implicit architecture with cache-lines of width W bytes, each iteration results in the following memory bus traffic:
1. lndex[I]: 8 bytes per iteration due to stride-1 nature;
2. B[I]: 8 bytes per iteration due to stride-1 nature; and
3. A[lndex[I]]: W bytes read and written per iteration.
The total amount of bus traffic is 2*W+16 bytes per iteration. On an average microprocessor today, W=128 so an iteration of this loop results in 272 bytes of memory traffic when only 32 bytes is algorithmically required, making only 12% of the data moved as being useful for the problem.
In addition, because microprocessors rely on wide cache lines and hardware pre-fetching strategies to amortize the long latency to main memory, only a small number of outstanding cache-line misses are typically tolerated. Because of the irregular nature of this example, hardware pre-fetching provides little benefit, making it difficult to keep the memory bus saturated, even with the large amount of wasted memory traffic. Bus utilization on the microprocessor processing only consumes about 700 MB/sec of the 3.2 GB/sec available, or 22%. Combining the poor bus utilization with the relatively small amount of data that is useful results in the microprocessor executing at about 2.5% of peak.
The memory hierarchy of the present invention does not require that memory traffic be organized in a cache-line structure, permitting loop iteration to be accomplished with the minimum number of bytes (in this case 32 bytes of memory traffic). In addition, data pre-fetch functional units may be fully pipelined, allowing full use of available memory bus bandwidth. Data storing may be handled in a similar pipelined fashion. An example of the pseudo code that performs the random update in the memory hierarchy looks like:
for (i=0; I < N-Gather_size; I=I+Gather_size) {
gather ( A, Index, I, A_local, Gather_size)
for (j=); j < Gather_size; j++) {
A_local[j] = A_local[j] + B[j];
scatter (A_local, Index, &A[I], Gather_size);
This loop will pipeline safely as described by the pseudo code provided that the index vector has no repeated values within each Gather_size segment. If repeats are present, then logic within the gather unit can preprocess the Index vector and B vector into safe sub-lists that can be safely pipelined with little or no overhead.
It should be apparent that the scaleable, programmable memory mechanisms enabled by the present invention are available to the exploit available algorithm locality and thereby achieve up to 100% bandwidth efficiency. In addition, the scaleable computational resources can be leveraged to attain 100% bandwidth utilization. As a result, the present invention provides a programmable computational system that delivers the maximum possible performance for any memory bus speed. This combination of efficiency and utilization yields orders of magnitude performance benefit compared with implicit models when using an equivalent memory bus.
Although the invention has been described and illustrated with a certain degree of particularity, it is understood that the present disclosure has been made only by way of example, and that numerous changes in the combination and arrangement of parts can be resorted to by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, as hereinafter claimed.

I understand that obtains WMI information and the need to open ports TCP 135, 445 and the range 1024-2000, as well as UDP 137, try it, but I think I did wrong, if someone have spicework working with this firewall, ask your
help understanding how to setup; printers are detected perfectly, just the computer equipment get error flag and only gets me the name and ip.

Have you checked the firewalls on the individual PC's. It sounds like those firewalls are causing your issues, not your external firewall.
Mar 16, 2010 at 2:31 UTC
hi Mariusz and Kendall, i have Nod32 installed in the workstations, i going to check if nod32 could be blocking spiceworks, because i´ve disabled the windows firewall and i´ve opened ports on the sonicwall, to test the conections, my skills are medium in the TZ210 subjet, but i was setup all network services with no problems until now. tomorrow i´ll post the results. I appreciated your directions, and sorry for my english it´s not my native language.

|This article was a Featured Article which means that it is one of the finest works on the Alternate Marvel miniwiki. (See all featured)
This is an original short story by Darth JCS.
Main Article
Chapter 1
This sound and the smell of brimstone marked Kurt Wagner's teleporting. He was as happy as a little kid at Christmas, summer vacation had finally arrived. Things were different at the X-Mansion without Scott and Jean since they had left for college, and now Kurt was going to be a senior.
"Come on Rogue, we haven't got all day!"
"I'm coming blue fur ball, ya don't want me to forget my gloves do ya!"
Kurt was in the garage getting his Jeep ready. It was only a few days ago that he received some money from his mother, Mystique. Probably the work of Agitha Harkness, he thought. Agitha Harkness was a good friend of Mystique's, and was also the keeper of her money. After making sure the money wasn't counterfeit or contained something that would make Kurt ill, he used it to buy a '07 Jeep Wrangler. He loved driving it at night, with the top down and letting his tail fly in the breeze.
"All right, lets get this show on the road," said Rogue as she came out.
Rogue and Kurt were spending their summer in Rome. However, that wasn't the only reason they were going. The previous night Professor Xavier had sensed new mutants, a lot of them! They were all in Rome. What made this strange was that all except one had something different about their mutations. They had unnatural mutations!
As Rogue jumped in the Jeep, Kurt turned the key. They drove it into the lower section of their jet-copter: the XM-Velocity. They then jumped out, climbed the ladder to the upper section and started up the propellers. As they flew into the morning sun, Kurt pondered what these unnatural mutations meant.
Many miles away another person pondered the meaning of something. It was only a few minutes ago that he overheard a conversation between Darts and his father: Vespero. He heard his father say something that still sent a chill down his spine, "He is no longer my son! He is a monstrosity and nothing more!" Daniel then peered down at a rock a few inches away from his feet; it was about the size of a baseball. He concentrated on it, on the gravity around it. Suddenly it started floating in the air as if it was in outer space. He returned gravity to its normal amount suddenly; and the rock fell with a CRACK! He then walked away promising himself that his father would pay for all that he had done.
Chapter 2
Vespero de Marie Blake: leader of the Red-X, a group of genetically modified humans trained to assassinate mutants; he was also a father to, sadly, and, ironically, a mutant. Two! He felt a surge of pain. Thoughts of his dear daughter Anna Marie flooded his mind. He saw that dreadful day in his mind, as he often did. " Please forgive me," he silently said to himself. At that moment Minx decided to come in. Minx was an attempt to combine mountain lion and human DNA. She was Red-X's most valuable member. She was also it's deadliest.
"What's up, Dracula," she said teasingly.
Vespero was an attempt to combine bat DNA with human. The human DNA had annihilated most of the bat, however it had left him with fangs, claws and an unnatural desire for blood. Fortunately he had found a cure for that ages ago. But it hadn't been soon enough.
"Not now," he said rather grumpily.
"What's wrong, cat got your tongue?"
Vespero suddenly, and very swiftly jumped out of his chair, jumped on to the desk, and hissed at her. Unimpressed she came up to him, kissed him and left. But not before saying, "We've got new Muties in town." Another strange gift the scientists at HYDRA had given her: she could smell mutants.
Chapter 3
"Mini-Cerebro unit hasn't picked up anything, yet." Rogue said, strapping the MC watch to her wrist and running out of the Velocity and onto the parking area. It was a small valley a couple of miles away from Rome. Their plan was to drive up there, get everything set up in a hotel room, and then scout out the area. If things went bad it would be helpful to know their way around the city. Rogue saw Kurt 'port out of the copter. Rogue was amused to see Kurt's image inducer falter a bit. One second there was Kurt Wagner, High School Senior, the next, the Nightcrawler, blue skin, enlarged canines and a prehensile tail.
"Oh, weak man," Nightcrawler muttered as he tried to reboot the inducer.
"Oh look, tourists looking for a freak show," Rogue called to him teasingly knowing he'd freak out.
He turned to her and gave her a nasty look; he then broke out into a grin and said "Nice joke meun freund."
After they had all the supplies packed and had locked up and cloaked the Velocity they hit the road. After a while they finally arrived in Rome. They passed bakeries, statues and the Coliseum. They spent two hours enjoying the sights and the smells. At 5:00 they made their way to the hotel. It was a round, five story building. Right over the entrance door was a sign that said "The Rose". Parking close to the entrance they got out of the car and went in.
Rogue went straight to the check in counter and asked for assistance. A handsome male attendant of about 20 came to her.
"How can I help you,?" he asked.
"A room was reserved here for me and my friend."
"What name is it under?"
"Charles Xavier."
After searching a bit on the database he found what he was looking for. He went into the small room in the back and pulled out two key cards. He handed them to Rogue and told them that their room number was 304. Rogue thanked him, then, turning to Kurt nearly laughed out loud. Kurt was sitting at a table with a plate filled with Burger Bombs. Kurt saw her and called to her in a full mouth "They've got everything!"
After they had unpacked their luggage they went back to the Jeep and headed to Olive Garden for dinner. About half way the MC began beeping.
"Looks like we got us a mutant," Rogue cried. She then pushed a button on the MC and a holographic display of the city hovered right over the watch. It displayed their target a few miles away from their position.
Turning into an alley Rogue stripped off her civilian clothes to reveal her X-Men uniform underneath. Kurt deactivated his inducer to reveal Nightcrawler. Suddenly they both started hovering in the air, as if they were in a 0G environment. Then, from right behind a dumpster, walked out a kid. He looked to be 15 years old, with short blonde hair that had a dark brown streak down it. He had purple eyes and an angry expression on his face.
"Hello, X-Men!"
Chapter 4
"Who are you, and how do you know who we are," the Goth girl, Rogue, yelled at him. She hovered right beside a blue, fuzzy elf-demon thing.
"I'm Centrifuge, and I've been, expecting you!"
He noticed that the blue one, Nightcrawler, was suddenly gone. All of a sudden he heard laughing and his breath was knocked out of him as Nightcrawler landed right on top of him.
"That's a sad come back kleiner junge."
Daniel felt himself being pushed up against a wall. Rogue was walking toward him. Must have returned gravity when he landed on me he thought. She took off the glove on her right hand and touched him. His world suddenly went dark.
When he woke up, Daniel found himself in a strange place, like the inside of an aircraft.
"Why'd you attack us?"
"What did you do to me?" he asked in return.
The girl looked down at him and smirked, "It's a dark gift, and I wield it happily."
Daniel looked away and replied, "I didn't want to attack you, I…" He mustered all the courage he could to betray his father. "I wanted your help."
"Why should we believe you," the furry one said, "You attacked us!"
"I'm sorry." He looked as if he were near tears.
Rogue gave Nightcrawler a cut-it-out stare.
"When I took his memories I remembered him planning to peacefully ask for our help."
The boy, Centrifuge, looked up at her in a strange way.
"When I touched you, I took your memories, your powers and your thoughts, including those about betraying your father, Vespero."
"Why would you want to betray your own father?" the furry one said.
"Because, he's assassinating mutants, been doing so before I was born."
"Then why aren't you dead armes kind?"
"Because, he's already lost one child to his evilness, he doesn't want to lose another." He watched, as Rogue looked straight a head of her, out beyond any normal plane of existence, to an almost dream-like past.
He kept silent for a moment, while Rogue recovered from whatever it was that had struck her. "Will you help me?"
The boy got up and hugged Rogue. Rogue shook him off and asked him what his real name was.
"Daniel," he said. Rogue then asked him if he was hungry. Daniel nodded, so Rogue pointed to where there was some food. She then motioned Kurt over.
"What happened their, schrittschwester?"
"I…I don't know. It was like havin' a seizure. Some how, Vespero, Daniels dad. I…I think…He's my dad."
Chapter 5
Early in the morning the three mutants: Rogue, Kurt and Daniel reviewed their plans for getting into Red-X's hideout. Once that was done they went straight to an old warehouse. Spotting two guards at the entrance Kurt quickly teleported close to them, then threw a couple of knockout gas capsules and watched as the guards fell within seconds. He motioned to Rogue and watched as they ran over to him.
"There's a voice recognition lock at the entrance."
"No prob, I can just teleport us to the other side, they'll never see it coming."
Rogue and Daniel quickly grabbed Nightcrawlers hands as they were teleported to the other side of the door. They soon realized they weren't alone. All around them were people of every ethnicity with some strange mutation.
"I guess these are the unnatural mutants," Rogue said as she gazed at each one. Suddenly out of the crowd walked a man in his 40's, dressed in black and wearing an evil smile on his face.
"Saw it coming."
Rogue jumped toward him, bare hand racing toward him. They both screamed in pain as Rogue made contact. They both lay on the floor unconscious. Nightcrawler ran to Rogues side and helped her to her feet.
"Are you ok?"
"Yeah, man I've got some twisted images in here," she said pointing to her head. They looked over to Vespero who looked at Rogue as if he'd seen a ghost.
Suddenly Rogues mind started spinning, images flashed through her mind. She was Vespero in his 20's, smiling at a woman with a dark tan and brown hair with a blonde streak through it, she looked at the woman as a name and a title popped into her mind: Angelina Marie and Mom. The image swirled then cleared as Rogue found herself as Vespero the same age, yet different. Filled with evil and anger he was growling at Angelina and a baby, a baby with pale skin, dark hair and a white streak through it. She felt a connection with it and in a split second new it was she. She noticed the three of them were on a rickety old bridge with a rushing river many yards below them. Vespero rushed toward Angelina and killed her. He grabbed the baby but threw her over the side when her mutant powers emerged. Before the baby hit the water, a crow with a strange yet familiar gleam in its eye caught the baby and flew it away. Mystique!
All of a sudden Rogue found herself back in the warehouse, sitting in front of a desk with Vespero looking back at her.
"Huh," she said groggily.
"Your name, it's Anna, Anna Marie."
"I ain't your daughter."
"You're just like your mother, a bad liar, I know you got my memories, I know you know the truth."
"Where are my friends?"
"Mr. Wagner and my son, your brother, are back in the Velocity, asleep."
"What do you want from me?"
"I want you to come back home with me," he said excitedly. Daniels thoughts and feelings suddenly came rushing back. The anger he had felt for so long watching as his father murdered his kind, and then spoke behind his back.
"No! I'm not, You've done worse than Mystique, I ain't gonna live with you knowin that." She jumped out of her seat and reached out for Vespero. Vespero did the same. As their hands met, each other's thoughts, feelings and personalities came rushing into one another.
"We have the same power, we're equally matched," Vespero said weakily. Rogue realized she was getting weaker and Vespero was getting stronger. She called all her will to help her. Thoughts of her friends came into her mind. Xavier, Storm, Wolverine, Beast, Cyclops, Jean, Kurt, Shadowcat, Spyke, and all the other X-Men. Then she remembered the Brotherhood and the Acolytes, Mystique, Avalanche, Toad, Blob, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, Magneto, Sabretooth, Gambit, Pyro, and Colossus. They gave her strength. All of a sudden she realized Vespero was lying on the desk, dead. She quickly pulled out a few charges and placed them in the room. She then quickly ran out to the Jeep with a giant explosion right behind her.
Chapter 6
An hour later she was back in the Velocity roaring back to the mansion. Kurt and Daniel had woken up but went back to sleep after she told them what had happened. Rogue sat alone in the cockpit, holding the joystick steady, thinking and wondering. For so many years she had wondered about her past. She knew Mystique had adopted her then dumped her on another friend of hers: Destiny. She now realized who her true family was. No, she thought, the X-Men are my family, no one else. She smiled to herself as she soared off into the night.

Saint Perpetua, McKeesport
St. Perpetua was established in June of 1910 as an Italian parish. The origin of the parish can be traced to the rise of industry in McKeesport at the turn of the century and the subsequent immigration of workers. Among these workers were a number of Italians. At the suggestion of the pastor of St. Stephen, a Hungarian parish, the bishop sent an Italian priest to organize an Italian parish in 1910. Until the parish could build a new church, the congregation used St. Stephen Church to celebrate Mass. Work on the church began in 1911. The cornerstone was laid on December 10, 1911, and the completed church was dedicated on March 24, 1912.
The congregation continued to grow. In the late 1920's the church was enlarged and was rededicated on May 12, 1929. The church served the parish for another 30 years. By the early 1960's, the congregation had clearly outgrown the existing church. On March 6, 1961, ground was broken for a new church. Although the church was unfinished, the first Mass in the new building was celebrated on Christmas Day of 1961. The church was finished on June 3, 1962, and it was formally dedicated on September 20, 1962. The old church was sold in 1964.
As the rise of population at the beginning of the century led to the creation of the parish, the loss of population at the end of the century led to its suppression. In 1993 St. Perpetua was merged with St. Patrick, Alpsville and St. Denis, Versailles to form a new parish named St. Patrick. St. Perpetua Church remains open and serves the new parish.
Saint Paulinus, Clairton
St. Paulinus was established on June 22, 1923. The parish was established to meet the needs of the growing Catholic community in what was then Wilson Boro, which merged with the boro of Clairton and North Clairton in 1921 to form the city of Clairton. Before the parish was established, local Catholics had to travel to either St. Clare parish in Clairton or St. Cecilia in Glassport. In 1920, a priest from St. Clare celebrated the first Mass in Wilson in the Knights of Malta building. This building was used for weekly Masses for three weeks, until permission was granted to use the hall of the Wilson Municipal building. For a five month period, priests from St. Paul Monastery visited the area to celebrate Mass, but responsibility for the Wilson section was again transferred to St. Clare. In 1923, St. Paulinus was established as a parish and a resident pastor was assigned.
After a few years, Sunday Mass was moved to rented space in the Walnut School. Weekday Masses continued to be celebrated in the Municipal building. During this time, funds were being raised for a new church. By the mid 1930's land had been purchased for a church. However, funds were lacking to have the church designed and built by professionals, so the parishioners built it themselves. Stone for the church came from a local quarry, the roofing came from a sheriff's sale and lumber from old buildings was used throughout the church. The church was renovated in 1976.
As the rise of population in the area in the first half of the twentieth century led to the creation of the parish, the loss of population in the last half of the century led to its suppression. In 1994, St. Paulinus was merged with St. Clare of Assisi and St. Joseph to form a new parish, also named St. Clare of Assisi. St. Paulinus Church remained open at first, but by the turn of the century it became obvious that the new parish could support more than one church building. On September 8, 2007, the diocese gave the parish permission to close St. Paulinus Church. The final Mass of the church was celebrated on September 30, 2007.
Saint Patrick, Strip District
St. Patrick was founded in 1808, the first parish in the city of Pittsburgh (the first church in what is now the city was a small chapel built by the French in Fort Duquesne 1754-1758). It was also the first parish within the current boundaries of the diocese. Before the year 1800, the only time local Catholics saw a priest was when one passed through the city on his way further west. Beginning sometime after 1800, the city was occasionally visited by priests from parishes in counties further east.
In 1808, Rev. William F.X. O'Brien was assigned to Pittsburgh to establish a parish. At this time only about 20 Catholic families lived in the city. That year he laid the cornerstone for the new church, although the church was not dedicated until August of 1811. Even then the church was not completed. No pews were installed. Instead, plans for the pews were drawn on the floor and, as they could afford it, families would hire a carpenter to build their pew on the site they picked out.
As the city population began to rise, so too did the congregation of St. Patrick. In 1825, an addition to the church was begun and the exterior was completed in 1826. Even this addition proved inadequate and the pastor of St. Patrick, Fr. Charles Maguire, called a meeting of local Catholics on August 27, 1827, to consider the building of a new church, which would later become St. Paul Cathedral. To secure the financial support of the rapidly growing German population, Fr. Maguire agreed to turn St. Patrick over to the Germans after the new church was built. When St. Paul was dedicated in the summer of 1834, St. Patrick became a German ethnic parish.
The parish's German phase lasted only five years. Due to financial disputes with the pastor of St. Paul regarding rental fees for the church, the Germans decided to abandon St. Patrick and found a new parish. In October of 1840, an English speaking congregation was again established in St. Patrick.
On August 10, 1854, a machine shop next to the church caught fire and the flames spread to the church and destroyed it. As the city was growing, it was decided to move the site of the church from 11th Street to 14th Street. The new church was dedicated on August 15, 1858.
This church did not last long. The economic and population boom engendered by the Civil War soon led to overcrowding. As the same time the Pennsylvania Railroad Company wished to purchase the site of the church for expansion. A lot was purchased on 17th Street and Liberty Avenue and work began on a new church. This church was dedicated on December 15, 1865. The old church was sold to the railroad company and torn down.
By 1923, the future of the parish was in doubt. Most of the parish' s residents had been pushed out of the area by the expansion of business in the area, particularly the produce industry. Only 35 families remained in the parish. But that year also saw the arrival of a new pastor, Rev. James Cox. This priest revitalized the parish dramatically. In 1924, the parish became the "American Shrine to Our Lady of Lourdes" by Rev. Cox in thanks for the healing of his eyes at Lourdes earlier. Beginning in 1925, a local radio station began broadcasting the daily Mass from St. Patrick, a practice that lasted for 33 years. When the depression began, St. Patrick became a center for relief for the poor. The parish distributed over two million free meals and 500,000 baskets of food, clothing and fuel.
On March 21, 1935, a fire destroyed St. Patrick church. While a new church was being built, the parish used the Good Samaritan Chapel to celebrate Mass. The new St. Patrick church was dedicated on March 17, 1936. Included in the church was a piece of the Blarney Stone from Blarney Castle in Ireland. The stone was placed in the tower that sheltered the baptistry. In 1937, the Monastery Gardens were erected. The gardens included a large outdoor grotto containing a marble altar. Outdoor Masses were celebrated there in good weather.
By the end of the twentieth century, the population in the city had dropped to the point that it was no longer practical for each parish in the Strip District to remain independent. In 1993, St. Patrick merged with St. Stanislaus Kostka and St. Elizabeth to form the new St. Patrick-St. Stanislaus Kostka parish. St. Patrick church remains open and continues to serve the new parish.
Saint Patrick, Alpsville
The origin of this parish is not well documented. It was established as a mission of St. Michael, Elizabeth in 1865, although the pastor of St. Michael may have visited Alpsville before that year. Alpsville owed its existence to the coal mines in the area. At first, Mass was celebrated monthly in private homes. By 1865, the population of Alpsville had grown to the point that a church was practical. In 1866, responsibility for Alpsville was transferred from St. Michael to a professor at St. Michael Seminary, who was given responsibility for building the church. Work on the church began in 1866. The cornerstone was laid on September 23, 1866, and the completed church was dedicated on September 1, 1867.
In 1871, St. Patrick became an independent parish with the appointment of a resident pastor. The parish prospered for the remainder of the century. However, around the turn of the century the mines around Alpsville began to play out. When the mines closed, the miners moved away. By 1908 the population of Alpsville had dropped to the point that St. Patrick changed status with its mission, St. Charles Borromeo in Sutersville. St. Patrick became the mission of St. Charles.
On January 1, 1924, the church was destroyed in a fire. Work began immediately on a new church. The new church was dedicated on Labor Day of 1924. In 1951 the Diocese of Greensburg was created. As Sutersville was in the new diocese and Alpsville remained in the Diocese of Pittsburgh, responsibility for St. Patrick was transferred to St. Peter, McKeesport. When St. Denis parish was established in Versailles in 1955, they took over the mission of St. Patrick.
By the 1990's the population of the area had dropped to the point that it could no longer support the number of parishes in existence. In 1993, St. Patrick was merged with St. Denis and St. Perpetua in McKeesport to form a new parish. The new parish took the name St. Patrick. After the merger, St. Patrick Church closed and was later sold.
Our Lady Queen of Peace, North Side
Our Lady Queen of Peace was established on September 28, 1981. The parish was established through the merger of St. Mary and Mary Immaculate-St. Cyprian parishes. The immediate cause of the merger was the purchase of St. Mary by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation to make room for highway construction. Due to the declining population of the North Side, the diocese decided to merge the two parishes and use the Mary Immaculate-St. Cyprian Church for the new parish.
This parish had a short life. The population of the North Side continued to drop and in 1993 the parish was merged with St. Peter, North Side. The new parish retained the name St. Peter. Our Lady Queen of Peace Church remains open and continues to serve the new parish.
Our Lady of Perpetual Help, North Side
Our Lady of Perpetual Help was established in 1937 as a mission of the Italian parish of Regina Coeli. In that year the assistant pastor of Regina Coeli began celebrating Mass in the Brighton Road District for the Italians living there. For two years Mass was celebrated in the Lodge Hall of the Independent Beneficial Society of the Order of the Italian Sons and Daughters of America. In 1939, a new pastor was assigned to Regina Coeli. He began discussions with local residents to discuss purchasing a church for the area. In that year, the Central Mission church building of the McClure Avenue Presbyterian Church came on the market. Local committees were organized to raise funds to buy the church. On January 27, 1940, the church was purchased. The church was renovated and dedicated on July 4, 1940.
In 1958, responsibility for the mission was transferred to St. Leo. Beginning around this time, the population of the area began to steadily decline. By 1993, the population of the North Side had dropped to the point that the community could no longer support the number of parishes in existence. In that year, Our Lady of Perpetual Help was merged with three parishes to form the new Risen Lord parish. As part of the merger, Our Lady of Perpetual Help was closed and sold shortly afterwards.
Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Natrona Heights
Our Lady of Perpetual Help was established in 1929 as a Polish parish. Before the parish was founded, local Catholics attended St. Ladislaus in Natrona. To get to St. Ladislaus, the people of Natrona Heights had to cross railroad tracks that lacked crossings or safety signals. In 1918, the Catholics of Natrona Heights, concerned for the safety of the children who had to cross those tracks to attend St. Ladislaus School, began raising funds for a school and attached chapel. Eventually, they realized that if they were to have a chapel, they would also need a resident pastor. They petitioned the bishop for a priest and one was assigned to the new parish on February 1, 1929.
The first Mass was celebrated on February 11, 1929, in a private home. In May of 1929, the parish built a hall in 16 days to be used for fund raising events. However, the pastor decided to convert the building to a church. The church was dedicated on May 30, 1929.
On February 20, 1945, fire struck the church. The fire completely gutted the interior but left the walls intact. While repairs were made to the church, Mass was celebrated in the basement of a local public school. After five months, the church reopened.
The fire led to a decision by the parish to build a new, fire resistant church. Ground was broken for the new church on April 6, 1952. The cornerstone was laid on July 6, 1952, and the completed building was dedicated on August 30, 1953. The church continues to serve the community today, but the parish does not. Due to population losses in the area in the late twentieth century, Our Lady of Perpetual Help merged with Most Blessed Sacrament parish to form the new Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament parish. Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church remains open and serves the new parish.
Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament, East Hills
Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament was founded on January 18, 1910, when the bishop instructed Father August Black to establish a new parish. His first effort involved renting a storeroom to use to celebrate Mass and preparing the room for services. The first Mass of the new parish was celebrated on July 17, 1910. The parish immediately began fund raising for a church. Work on the church began late in 1913 or early in 1914. Progress was rapid and on March 1, 1914, the cornerstone was laid. The completed church was dedicated on June 1, 1914.
In 1925, the parish built a school which operated until 1937, when it closed. At the end of World War II, the parish experienced a significant spurt of growth. The school was reopened in 1951. The church was soon overcrowded. Also at this time, the church began showing its age. Faced with the need for extensive repairs to a church that was too small, the parish decided to build a new church. Since the school was also facing crowding problems, the decision was made to build an addition to the school that would include a church on the lower level and classrooms on the upper level. The new addition was dedicated on October 25, 1959. The old church was torn down in 1961.
The fortunes of the parish soon turned, however. Beginning in the 1960's, the congregation began to rapidly drop as people moved from the city to the suburbs. In the 1980's, the congregation dropped to the point that the parish did not need as large a church as they had. During the decade, the church was partitioned and part of the space was used to create a social hall.
By the 1990's, the congregation had dropped to the point that it was no longer feasible to maintain the parish as an independent entity. In 1992, Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament merged with five other parishes to form the new St. Charles Lwanga parish. At first, Our Lady of Most Blessed Sacrament Church remained open and served the new parish. In 1996, the parish decided that the cost of keeping the church open exceeded the benefits. On February 18, 1996, the parish celebrated the closing liturgy of the church. Soon afterwards the building was sold.
Our Lady of Czestochowa, Hazelwood
Our Lady Help of Christians, East Liberty
Our Lady Help of Christians was established in 1898 as an Italian parish. The origin of the parish can be traced to the rise of immigrants from Italy in the late nineteenth century. In 1895 the Italian Franciscan Fathers were invited to come to Pittsburgh. They took charge of the Italian parish in the Hill District, St. Peter. In 1894, the Italian residents of the East Liberty area petitioned the bishop for permission to form their own parish. This petition was denied. To meet the needs of the East Liberty Italians, the pastor of St. Peter began visiting the area to celebrate Mass. The first Mass for Italians celebrated in East Liberty took place in February of 1895 in the school hall of Ss. Peter and Paul parish. From that point, a Mass was celebrated almost monthly for the Italians.
In 1896, the pastor of St. Peter again petitioned the bishop for permission to establish a parish for the Italians in East Liberty. This time permission was granted. The first organizational meeting of the parish was held on April 12, 1896. Fund raising for a church began in 1896. Work on the church began in 1897. The cornerstone was laid on September 17, 1897, and the completed church was dedicated on April 17, 1898. Even after the church was built, improvements continued to be made to the building. In 1904, frescoes were painted on the walls and ceiling of the church. Unfortunately, the next year an electrical fire destroyed the church.
While reconstruction of the church took place, Mass was moved to the school. By December of 1905, the basement of the new church was completed and beginning on December 17, Mass moved to the basement. The superstructure of the church was completed earlier the next year and the building was dedicated on April 17, 1906. Over the years the church was renovated and redecorated. Renovations took place in the late 1940's, the late 1950's, the 1970's, and the 1980's.
By this time the population of the city had dropped to the point that it could no longer support the number of independent parishes in existence. In 1992, Our Lady Help of Christians merged with five other parishes to form the new St. Charles Lwanga parish. As part of the merger, Our Lady Help of Christians Church closed and was later sold.

By Matt Schudel
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, December 11, 2004; Page B06
Edward O. Wayson Jr., 54, an influential lawyer and lobbyist in Annapolis who was a longtime proponent of gambling interests in Maryland, died Dec. 4 of complications from an aortic aneurysm at Washington Hospital Center. He had moved recently from Annapolis to Lothian.
A hefty, hearty man whose lifelong nickname was "Moose," Mr. Wayson had a gregarious personality and, for more than 20 years, was a powerful behind-the-scenes presence in the Maryland State House. He was a senior partner in the law firm Cooter, Mangold, Tompert & Wayson and also was a managing member of Capitol Strategies, an Annapolis lobbying firm.
He represented more than 400 companies or associations before every branch of the state government and had connections in politics, law, banking, gambling and real estate. He was known in recent years for championing the cause of casino gambling in Maryland.
"He was a truly larger-than-life character," said Anne Arundel County Executive Janet S. Owens (D), who had known Mr. Wayson since childhood. "He was always near anything that was happening. He was very facile at understanding current events, politics and policies."
Born into an old Maryland family, Mr. Wayson could trace his roots in Anne Arundel County back more than 300 years. Since the 1920s, when his grandfather opened a sandwich shop, his family had operated a series of restaurants and stores in the southern part of the county at what is now called Waysons Corner.
In the late 1950s, his father opened a bingo and slot machine parlor in an old warehouse at Waysons Corner. After the state outlawed slot machines in the 1960s, the family kept the business open as Wayson's Bingo, a 750-seat hall that is still owned by the Wayson family. Steve Wynn, the Las Vegas magnate of the Bellagio and Mirage resorts, got his start in the gambling business at Wayson's Bingo. For many years, Mr. Wayson was Wynn's legal adviser.
"If you met Ed," said his law partner Dale A. Cooter, "you'd say he's a big, likable guy who knew everybody. I always thought of Ed as a good ol' boy who could count."
Mr. Wayson was born in Upper Marlboro and graduated from Charlotte Hall Military Academy. He later graduated from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and from Howard University's law school.
He said he felt most at home with the tobacco farmers of Southern Maryland, but he also moved easily in the corridors of power. He had been an aide to former representative Marjorie S. Holt (R-Md.) and a law clerk to former Prince George's Circuit Court judge William B. Bowie.
Mr. Wayson was senior partner with Blumenthal, Wayson, Offutt, Klos & Delevan from 1982 to 1994 before opening his own law firm. He joined Cooter, Mangold in 1998. Throughout his career, he mixed politics, law and business with a juggler's ease.
He invested shrewdly in banks and real estate, which led in the early 1990s to a brief investigation for alleged conflict of interest by federal banking examiners. Mr. Wayson resigned from the board of a savings and loan that financed a hotel he had invested in, and no charges were filed against him.
In Annapolis, he was a well-known and well-liked figure. He weighed more than 300 pounds and often could be seen working out at health clubs. He supported candidates of both parties, which one acquaintance said was a family trait.
"A standing joke with the Waysons," former Anne Arundel County executive Robert R. Neall told The Washington Post in 1991, "is that even during the Civil War they were selling to both sides, making money each way."
After many years of arguing against the introduction of slot machines in Maryland, Mr. Wayson began to lobby for large-scale gambling in the state, outlining a proposal to open three big casinos that would make Maryland the third-leading gambling state in the country, after Nevada and New Jersey.
Mr. Wayson was known for his generosity to charities, including the Annapolis Boys and Girls Club, Archbishop Spalding High School and the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center. His hobbies included coin collecting. He was a member of St. Anne's Episcopal Church in Annapolis, where he was an usher.
His marriage to Beth Peters ended in divorce.
Survivors include his wife of nine years, Jeannine Mary Wayson of Lothian; two daughters from his first marriage, Sarah Elizabeth Wayson and Anne Catherine Wayson, both of Annapolis; a stepdaughter, Kacey Marie Stephens of Lothian; his mother, Ruth Ann Wayson of Denver; a brother, D. Boone Wayson of Annapolis; and a grandchild.
