A new op-ed from a prominent Black pastor asks the Black church to face reality.
With megachurch Bishop Eddie Long in hot water amidst allegations that he had sexual relationships with several young men from his church, Long is taking a sabbatical from his work and his wife of 21 years is leaving him. With Long serving as the news peg, the spotlight is on the Black church's unwillingness to broach subjects like homosexuality and AIDS now more than ever. For decades many members of the African-American clergy have indeed avoided talk of gays, lesbians, HIV and AIDS, and many others have taken a different tack, saying that gays and lesbians are sinful, and that AIDS is their punishment. Now, a Black reverend named Stacey Latimer is doing something altogether different, and warning his colleagues that the time to act against HIV is now, or suffer the consequences.
Latimer's article, Attention Black Churches: Ignorance on HIV/AIDS Can Kill, is as direct as its title, pointing out specific instances in which gay Black Americans with HIV suffered untimely deaths thanks in part to their church's unwillingness to speak with them openly, honestly, and fairly about their disease. An anecdote about a Baptist Sunday school pastor called "Marcus" (not his real name) is particularly sad:
When Marcus found out that he was HIV positive, he informed his beloved pastor, who directed him to allow the elders of the church to anoint him with oil and pray for him each Sunday until God healed and delivered him. Following the advice of his spiritual leader, Marcus did this for eight years without any medical care from a health professional.
Prayer didn't help Marcus, and when word began to spread about his rapidly deteriorating health, people started to assume, correctly, that he was suffering from HIV. And that's when the rumors of his homosexuality began to spread, as well. In order to fight those rumors, Marcus's "friends" in the church convinced him to marry a woman, who Marcus ended up infecting with HIV. Previously he'd infected six other men. Marcus eventually died, leaving a trail of infection and sadness in his wake, due in large part to the fact that his church refused to face reality.
I'd recommend reading Latimer's entire article here. If you don't, the one takeaway is this: As far as we know, prayer has yet to treat AIDS and HIV. In order to truly help those dying from the illness, we have to do the Lord's work ourselves. It's what He'd want anyway.

"Music-loving psychiatrist, Dr. Ralph Schureck has brought together one of the most important collection in the world. He has the largest collection of early keyboards in Australia, and many are rare and have historical connections. Ralph says that the 1793 Stodart forte piano may have been played by Haydn himself, and is one of only a handful of early English pianos in existence, and the 1816 Broadwood grand piano is a model much loved by Beethoven."

Lollipop Chainsaw has two image characters: Jessica Nigri for the West and Mayu Kawamoto for Japan. Kawamoto is a black belt in karate, but Nigri has, I guess, a black belt in revealing cosplay.
This weekend in Tokyo geek district Akihabara, both Juliets appeared alongside game designer Goichi Suda to promote the title and pose for pictures. Silly pictures.
You'd think two image characters were created so one of them didn't have to travel across the Pacific to appear at events. You'd think.

Robert McNamara, Vietnam War Architect, Is Dead
For anyone who lived through the 1960s — and can remember it — the name Robert McNamara was a big part of it.
Secretary of defense during the Kennedy and most of the Johnson administrations, McNamara was the public face of optimism during the buildup of the Vietnam War, a conflict that took nearly 60,000 American lives and untold casualties.
McNamara died this morning at his home in Washington. He was 93.
In his 1995 memoir, In Retrospect: The Tragedy and Lessons of Vietnam, McNamara wrote that by 1967 he had soured on the war. But he continued to express confidence that the leadership of President Johnson would help bring about a satisfactory conclusion to the conflict.
He was president of the Ford Motor Co. when President Kennedy named him to head up Defense in 1961. He stayed on after Kennedy's assassination. Weary of the war and the intense criticism of it, McNamara quit in February of 1968 — about a month before LBJ announced he would not seek re-election. He was succeeded as defense secretary by Clark Clifford.
He then headed up the World Bank, where his efforts to reduce world poverty were well received.

Hi everybody,
I'm brand new to the Primal living lifestyle. I am 6'3 and thin at 164lbs. I tried the Paleo diet for about a week last year and lost 5lbs so I figured I could not afford to lose any weight so I quit. If anybody has tips on how to put on some muscle it would be very much appreciated.
1. Eat more meat and other animal protein.
2. Eat more energy calories, including good fats, root vegetables, rice, and fruit.
3. Lift weights.
Don't skimp on potatoes, rice, fruit, fruit juice, coconut oil, butter, cheese, tapioca, and all other delicious things things.

It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men. - Samuel Adams
Dairy is designed to cause weight gain.
The remainder is an unjustifiable, egotistical power struggle
At the expense of the American dream, American dream
Of the American
We don`t give a damn about your world
With all your global profits
And all your jeweled pearls
We don`t give a damn about your world
Right now, right now!
Lift heavy objects to work up an appetite.
Chug cartons of heavy cream.
Eat plates of sweet potatoes.
Plus the usual meat and vegi.
Coconut milk with everything!
Coconut ^ and tubers. Buttery sweet potatoes, good cheese -all high fat dairy really, avocado. And start lifting; your appetite wil increase like you've become some kind of beast. (:
and mac nuts! 'till you're stuffed.
Lift. Eat. Sleep. Repeat.
I've heard dairy maintains weight and I've found it to be true for myself.
Grains are designed for weight gain. I don't even eat the rice because it's empty calories.
But otherwise, you shouldn't be losing weight on Paleo. It isn't a weight loss diet, although it can be structured for weight loss.

Plan 3000 G...BoliviaClothingFunding via Fundación Pro Mujer
Amazonas Ii Group
The loan that they will receive will benefit the small micro-entrepreneurs where Señora Efrena is a member. She says that she has been a member of Pro Mujer for nine years, joining at the invitation of a friend who is a member of the institution.
She has a business selling clothing, and she says that this was a family business that she decided to carry out independently when she got married. The loan that she is receiving is to increase her capital for the purchase of wholesale clothing, which she will acquire in the markets of the city of El Alto and later sell in her sales space. This work allows her to generate income to support her family, as she is married with three children.
When she was asked what she likes about Pro Mujer, she responded that she likes the work that they do in her group that the institution offers her.
El crédito que sacaran beneficiara a pequeñas microempresarias donde la señora Efrena es integrante, ella indica que hace nueve años que integra Pro Mujer, ingresando por la invitación de una amiga que es socia de la institución. En la actualidad ella tiene un negocio de venta de ropa; da a conocer que este negocio fue un negocio familiar y que ella al casarse decide implementar su negocio independiente.
El crédito que ahora sacará es para el aumento de capital (compra de ropa por mayor) que adquirirá en las ferias de la ciudad de El Alto y posteriormente lo comercializará en su espacio de venta. Esta forma de trabajo le permite generar recursos para mantener a su familia ya que ella es casada y tiene tres hijos.
Cuando se le consulta qué le gusta de Pro Mujer, ella responde que le gusta el trabajo que realizan en su grupo que le ofrece la institución.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

here.You need to get the edit xRegistry tool, it's
Then you can edit the xRegistry file in dev_flash3, there is a option there to enable and disable the HDCP.
Thanks a million

Jon Morcom returns to Epic's gritty grey shooter, where the aliens were plentiful and the marines were wide as buses.
Back in October, developer/gaming rock star Cliff Bleszinski announced that he would be leaving Epic Games after 20 years. The question that immediately started circulating was, unsurprisingly, what's next for Cliffy B? In a recent interview with X-Play on G4, he made it clear that his days in game development are far from over.
In a news update on Epic Games' official site, design director Cliff Bleszinski announced his split from the studio after 20 years shaping venerable franchises such as Unreal, Jazz Jackrabbit, and Gears of War.
Epic Games frontman Cliff Bleszinski conducted a crowdsourced interview with Reddit over the weekend in the popular "Ask Me Anything" subreddit. A number of noteworthy responses cropped up regarding Bleszinski's thoughts on revisiting older IPs, modding's explosive popularity, and (though very definitely not announcing this) an open-world reboot of Unreal, among other answers. Check out a few
Try not to die in these challenging survival simulators.
Epic Games, creators of such small, indie projects as the Unreal Engine and Gears of War, have announced that they will be opening a new studio in Seattle. While initially focused on development of Unreal Engine 4, the studio is looking to hire "senior-level talent specializing in online game services and the infrastructure to support them." Could Epic be looking to break into the MMO or
Epic president Mike Capps has been talking to Industry Gamers about the neglected Unreal series, admitting that "we haven't been giving it the attention it deserves because we've been focusing on Gears of War." That doesn't mean we'll never see another Unreal game, however. In fact, Capps says it makes financial sense for Epic to revive the series.
Update: the original text of this story quoted Cliff as saying "game developers are assholes." This was incorrect. He was talking about internet trolls. They're assholes. We offer our apologies.
Speaking at GDC, Cliff Bleszinski has expressed the dramatic impact his personal life has had on his design decisions. He also offered some sage advice for upcoming developers.
"Assess yourself.
The Games for Windows copy of Bulletstorm will ship with Gears of War in the US.

Hey, I was wondering if you have any pieces for sale or if you will at some point. There are a couple of them that I really like and would like to buy for my home. Thank You
This is just gorgeous!
The title is perfect!
The title is perfect!
Excellent work!
Back from my hols and I find this stunner, Coco. Your eye for the palette and the detail is superb.
Great Stuff
Thanks so much for your lovely comments, David ~ I'm glad you like this one! Not spending so much time on the computer these days, as I've become a big fan of the author Wilbur Smith and his huge novels about Southern Africa, the Courtneys etc. ~ and doing more reading than anything! I hope your holidays were great. How are the pussies? Coco
Hi Coco - Pussies are fine, but have just had a scare as we are having a great thunder and lightening storm. They'll be OK. Holiday was good - photos now being posted. I never managed to get into Wilbur Smith, but I'm glad you are enjoying them. South Africa is something else.
Glad you and the pussies are fine ~ my two are very frightened of thunderstorms, particularly Lankie who is normally quite timid anyway. I think you'd enjoy Wilbur Smith's novels ~ much of it is historical and political fact, but with great characters and storylines. There was a wonderful description of the Okavango River area in 'Blue Horizon', but it was a hard copy novel (unlike most of my reading which I now do on a Kobo ~ Xmas present from my kids), so I'd really have to search for that part ~ but I will try and find it for you. I enjoyed your latest series of pics too! Cheers Coco
I'll have to look into Wilbur - Kobo -yes, I have a Kindle and it is a boon. I've been to the Okavango Delta and it is a marvellous place - quite unlike other parts of Africa. I want to go back, but there are so many things to do.
I'm now reading 'Rage' ~ my fourth by Wilbur Smith ~ his novels are absolutely riveting and he is such a brilliantly descriptive writer. I have only discovered him lately, as most of my previous reading has been in the sci-fi and murder mystery genres, but now I want to read everything he has ever written. Here is what I was searching for, from his novel 'Power of the Sword', first published in 1996, part of the 'Courtney' series:
"The Okavango is one of Africa's most beautiful rivers. It rises in the highlands of the Angolan plateau above 4,000 feet and flows south and east, a wide deep torrent of green water that it seems must reach the ocean, so swift and determined is its flow. However, it is a landlocked river, debouching first into the mis-named Okavango Swamps, a vast area of lucid lagoons and papyrus banks, studded with islets on which graceful ivory nut palms and great wild figs stand tall. Beyond that the river emerges again, but shrivelled and weakened as it enters the desolation of the Kalahari Desert and disappears forever beneath those eternal sands."
Anyway, hope you have settled back home again, and the storm has passed. Coco
Good and accurate description of the Okovango, Coco. I think now the "swamps" name has been replaced by "Delta" - much better. I shall have to check on Wilbur via Amazon in due course.
Yes, all the storms have passed for the moment. I'm now at my Scottish cottage and enjoying good sunny summer weather. The cats are out and about.
amazing fractal Coco!
Very lovely Coco!
very nice done
Absolutely beautiful.
Beautifully done, Coco!
Thank you so much, dear Jim ~ for your lovely comment and the too! Coco
It is beyond beautiful. There are no words good enough to describe your art.
NIce one Coco... like the palette choices...

Love your addon, great customization and the ability to change the color of your chi made me way happier than it should have. I've absolutely no technical knowledge like the rest of your commenters seem to, but I was just wondering if you could add an option to hide the default Blizzard Chi-Bar that sits under my Unit Frame, because yours is so much prettier. A quick google was fruitless, so maybe its something that can't be done.
Keep up the good work!

Respond to Review of Le Grenier de Notre Dame
by nardanddee
Review: This place opens at 6:30 PM as opposed to 7. It is a cozy restaurant with nice enough staff. The food was good but nothing to write home about. Their vegan menu options are marked. However, do be careful as I did see one item marked vegan that contained honey (for you strict vegans out there). I had the cassoulet and the apple tart with a glass of wine. I believe it was 28 euros. Pricey, but not too bad. The hardest part is finding this place. Rue Bucherie is split by the square, and the restaurant is located on the part of the street that is directly across from Notre Dame on the left bank (not the part of the street near Rue Huechette).

wow! that's a great shot! look at the colour of the sky!
Wow, that sunset is stunning! And I love the contrast in colors, between the white snow and orange sky- it's really beautiful.
Its up there in popularity because its beautiful! Did you manipulate that beautiful sky? Anyways it really is beautiful. Not ready for that cold yet but I know its headed my way (MI).
Thank you! I enhanced it slightly, but not by much - it really was golden. I'm certainly not ready for that that cold yet either - it always seems to last much longer than the warm weather does
Only you ! You might like to know this is the 5th most popular stock image in the last 24 hours
Wow - that's awesome Liz!
Thanks Eve - it's Lake Ontario, believe it or not - frozen so thickly that you could walk on it - I was very proud to be able to say I'd walked on water - lol!

Each year at Clinical Congress, one Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (ACS) is named as the recipient of its highest honor: the ACS Distinguished Service Award. For decades, the awarding of this honor by the current ACS President is one of the highlights of the Annual Clinical Congress. Pictured are two worthy recipients. Hilger Perry Jenkins, MD, FACS, was chairman of the College's Committee on Medical Motion Pictures, the driving force behind the Cine Clinic programs, and the originator of the "Spectacular Problems in Surgery" film program at the Clinical Congress. That program has been presented every year since 1954 and is known today as "Interesting and Unusual Problems in Surgery." Under Jenkins' leadership, the College's Motion Picture Library grew into an essential aid for a broad program of undergraduate, postgraduate, and continuing surgical education. F. Dean. Griffen, MD, FACS, was recognized for his for his leadership roles as Chair of the Board of Regents' Committee on Patient Safety and Professional Liability, Vice-Chair of the Public Profile and Communications Steering Committee, President of the ACS Louisiana Chapter, and member of the ACS Board of Governors' Committee on Professional Liability. Dr. Griffen was also acknowledged for his superb clinical activity as a Lieutenant Commander in the US Navy among other distinguished surgical appointments that he served throughout his surgical career.

What are the poll numbers now for the dissaproval of this bill? Its certainly one-sided. More people against than for. They can slam it through all they want but finally the people smell b.s. I have faith that before SHTF that things will work themselves out when enough people wake up.
Our officials and representatives work for themselves, rather than for us who employ and pay them. A flush of the entire body of congress should be required. Chronies don't change. Chronies dont even have change, they only have $100 bills in their pockets.

Margaret Thatcher has become a hip youth icon
I've just been to the very enjoyable 40th party held by my friend and colleague, Dan Hannan, held at Maggie's, the Thatcher-themed nightclub on the Fulham Road, in west London.
It will come as no surprise to Dan's readers that he is keen on the Lady, as indeed am I; as were most of his guests. But what was staggering that, later on in the evening, the nightclub opened its doors to people who weren't Dan's guests. And in poured a tide of young, attractive and fashionable clubbers. When I left, at around 11.30, there was a long queue building up on Fulham Road to pay a £15 cover charge to get in.
Admittedly, this was the heart of Sloaneland. The clientele was mostly public school and well-off, and they clearly had a retro taste for 80s music. But, still, it was extraordinary that they should go to a nightclub devoted not just to a Tory leader, but to the Tory leader who was so reviled by the young for so long.
When I was the clubbers' age and at university, 22 years ago, I was much mocked for supporting her. In my four years at university, I only found two other people who admitted to supporting the Tories – one the son of a Tory MP, the other the son of a conservative-minded writer.
Examining the unlined skins and the thick, glossy hair of the clubbers at Maggie's, I imagine most of them weren't even born when she was deposed almost 21 years ago. They presumably know little of how much she was hated by the Left, and by most young people; and how any association with her then, if you were young, was completely unfashionable.
The hatred and the unfashionable aspect appear to have evaporated – among this group at least – and she has been absorbed into the animosity-free pages of history for teenagers and those in their early 20s. But, still, she exerts some sort of strange power over them – I couldn't see them lining up to get into Major's, Heath's or Blair's, let alone Brown's, at half-past 11, and be willing to pay £15 for the privilege.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 188.8.131.52

The announcement, made on Wednesday, stated that from now on, all software developed for the government must be licensed under the GPL. The entire policy was summed up in this statement by Dr. Felipe Pe'rez-Marti', Planning and Development Minister: "Open source whenever possible, proprietary software only when necessary."
Good for Venezuela, now they don't have to worry about licensing fees, or piracy issues. I'm sure many more nations, especially the less industrial ones, will follow.
Interestingly, they are saying that all the software needs to be GPL'ed -- that has to be a misunderstanding. I can't imagine them not accepting the BSD type of licenses. Maybe the politicians just don't know the difference?

Is there a site that provides a great list of common C++ optimization practices?
What I mean by optimization is that you have to modify the source code to be able to run a program faster, not changing the compiler settings.
Is there a site that provides a great list of common C++ optimization practices?
What I mean by optimization is that you have to modify the source code to be able to run a program faster, not changing the compiler settings.
Two ways to write better programs:
Make best use of language
profile your application
There is not much language specific optimization one can do - it is limited to using language constructs (learn from #1). The main benefit comes from #2 above.
I will echo what others have said: a better algorithm is going to win in terms of performance gains.
That said, I work in image processing, which as a problem domain can be stickier. For example, many years ago I had a chunk of code that looked like this:
which rotates a 1-bit frame buffer 180 degrees. _bitRev is a 256 byte table of reversed bits. This code is about as tight as you can get it. It ran on an 8MHz 68K laser printer controller and took roughly 2.5 seconds for a legal sized piece of paper. To spare you the details, the customer couldn't bear 2.5 seconds. The solution was an identical algorithm to this. The difference was that
So 5x: no algorithm change.
The point is that you also need to understand your problem domain and what bottlenecks means. In image processing, algorithm is still king, but if your loops are doing extra work, multiply that work by several million and that's the price you pay.
Don't forget about few things:
Agner Fog has done a great job analyzing the output of several compilers regarding C++ constructs. You will find his work here: http://www.agner.org/optimize/.
Intel offers a great document too - the "Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Optimization Reference Manual", which you will find at http://www.intel.com/products/processor/manuals/index.htm. Although it mainly targets IA-32 architectures, it contains general advice that can be applied on most platforms. Obviously, it and Agner Fog's guide do intersect a bit.
As mentioned in other answers, micro-optimization is obviously the last step you want take to make your program faster, after profiling and algorithm selection.
I don't have a site off the top of my head but the book "Exceptional C++" by Sutter is superb for C/C++ development. I highly recommend every C++ programmer read this book as it gives great insight in to not only optimization but smart usage of the language so that you will program truly exceptional.
You might be interested in this: Optimizing C++ Wikibook
It is common in other engineering disciplines to assign budgets to the components of the system. For example, the engines of a VTOL aircraft are designed to provide a certain amount of lift, so the weight must be within a limit. At a high level, each part of the aircraft is given a portion of the weight budget which it should meet.
The reason this is done top down, rather than waiting until it's too bloated to get off the deck and then weighing each part and filing a bit off of the heaviest bit, is partly due to the cost of changing fabricated components. But a large part of it is that if you create a system where everything is a bit over budget everywhere, you can't just fix it in one place.
The classic software example is the SGI Indy Irix 5.1, which partly is why graphics intensive users have Macs and Windows machines now rather than SGI boxes.
"What's most frightening about the 5.1 performance is that nobody knows exactly where it went. If you start asking around, you get plenty of finger-pointing and theories, but few facts. In the May report, I proposed a "5% theory", which states that each little thing we add (Motif, internationalization, drag-and-drop, DSOs, multiple fonts, and so on) costs roughly 5% of the machine. After 15 or 20 of these, most of the performance is gone."
Frequently in discussions of performance, 5% is is said to be insignificant, and the advice is to wait until there is a problem and then look for a single bottleneck. For a large system, waiting until you have a problem may just lose you your main business.
You asked for sites/sources containing optimization wisdom.
Some good ones have been suggested.
I might add that they will nearly all say that profiling is the best if not the only way to locate performance problems.
I'm not sure where this folk-wisdom originated or how it was justified, but there is a better way.
It is true that the "wrong algorithm" can kill performance, but that's certainly not the only way.
I do a lot of performance tuning. On large software, what usually kills performance is too much data structure and too many layers of abstraction.
What seem like innocent one-liner method calls to abstract objects tempt you to forget what that call could cost you. Multiply this tendency over several layers of abstraction, and you find things like, for example, spending all your time allocating and collecting things like iterators and collection classes when simple arrays with indexing would have been sufficient (and no less maintainable) but less "proper".
That's the problem with "common wisdom". It often is exactly the opposite of wisdom.
Most optimizations are language-agnostic. Understand your code, and understand the hardware you're running on, and you can do most low-level optimizations.
Understand your problem domain, and suitable algorithms, and you can do any high-level optimizations.
The only C++-specific optimization advice I can think of is "understand what your code means". Understand when C++ copies temporaries around, understand which constructors and destructors are called when.
And prefer functors to function pointers, as the former can be inlined by the compiler. In general, move as much as possible to compile-time rather than runtime. Use templates to do the heavy lifting.
And of course, don't try optimizing until you've profiled and fount out that 1) optimization is necessary, and 2) what needs optimizing.
Edit: A comment asked about functors vs function pointers being inlined. Here's the explanation:
Functions are usually compiled in isolation. So what does the compiler know about a function F that takes a function pointer FP as argument? Nothing, it has to go look up where the F is called from, and maybe there it can find a definite clue as to which function FP points to. If it can determine that when called from here, FP will ALWAYS point to function G, then yes, it can make an inlined version of F, with G inlined inside it, for this particular call site. But it can't simply inline G without inlining F, because F might be called from other places as well, where it is passed a different function pointer. And even then, it requires some expensive global optimizations to determine that anything can be inlined.
Imagine you pass a functor such as this instead:
so the function F looks like this:
now the compiler knows exacty which function gets called: Line 2 in the function calls Ftor::operator(). And so the call can be inlined easily.
Of course, in practice, you'd typically template it, so the function can be called with any functor type:
Most techniques are compiler-specific, as different compilers optimize differently.
If you want some optimization tips that are compiler agnostic, here are two for you:
(apologies to Michael A. Jackson)
Sorry I don't have any references for you, but I do have another anecdote to add to the pile.
I had a rather large std::map that I was generating using Microsoft's CString object as the key. Performance was unacceptable. Since all of my strings were identical in length, I created a class wrapper around an old-fashioned fixed-size array of chars, to emulate the interface of CString. Unfortunately I can't remember the exact speedup, but it was significant, and the resulting performance was more than adequate.
Sometimes you need to know a little about the library constructs you rely upon.
Template Meta-Programming can be used to move from dynamic polymorphism to compile time polymorphism, producing insanely optimal code in the process. Alexandrescu's Modern C++ Design is a good book which covers TMP in depth. Not every page is about optimization, but it is an oft recurring consideration in the program designs.
The best optimization one can get is by revisiting the design, and after profiling the performance relevant parts/algorithms of the application. This is usually not language specific.
What I mean is (just as an idea) if you would get 30% performance improvement by selecting a slightly better algorithm (or collection/container class) the improvement you can expect from a C++ related refactoring would be at most 2%. A design improvement could give you anything above 30%.
If you have a concrete application, the best strategy is to measure and profile the application. Profiling gives usually the most instant idea of which parts are performance relevant.
Here are a couple catch all paths for optimization.
There is no one way for optimization problems... they are always hand tuned to the hardware/software/system-considerations.
Assuming you have the best algorithm:
Example seen here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36906/what-is-the-fastest-way-to-swap-values-in-c/615995#615995
General tips:
++p is usually faster than p++ and --p is faster than p--, especially for objects of types with overloaded prefix and postfix increment and decrement operators, because prefix form just increments or decrements something and returns the new value, whereas the postfix form increments or decrements something, but has to keep the old value somewhere to return it. That is, instead of (replace int with your favorite class here)

Secrets of the Chinle Formation
NPS photo / David Tarailo
NPS photo / Scott Ireland
When they aged and fell or were toppled by erosion and floods, some of the conifers were buried rapidly by sediments. Deprived of oxygen needed for fast decay, the living woody tissues were slowly replaced by minerals and hardened to stone to form petrified wood. Often, minerals replace the wood quickly enough to preserve the internal cellular structure of the tree, and features like tree rings, bark, and knots are visible.

NPS photo / Jenny McGuire
Quartz is the primary mineral replacing the organic compounds in the wood, but some of the petrified wood at Zion has been replaced with an iron sulfide mineral called pyrite, commonly known as fool's gold.
Plants aren't the only fossil finds from the Chinle Formation at Zion. Within the murky marshes of thick vegetation, a carnivorous creature lurked, heavily protected with armor and built to attack. In this tropical lowland, phytosaurs, with their razor sharp teeth and long snouts, were dominant predators.
The museum collection also houses armor plates, called scutes, from the primitive Aetosaurus. Other evidence of ancient life found in the Chinle includes burrows of invertebrates and coprolites (fossilized poop). And after years of uncertainty, the source of a small, mystery tooth has been solved.
