How the U.S. Is Failing at Protecting Vital Fish Habitats

"Essential" but Unprotected: How the United States Fails Its Most Important Fish Habitats
A new report concludes U.S. waters "have insufficient protections for a healthy future," and that the problem has gotten worse under the Trump administration.
"No wetlands, no seafood," reads a popular bumper sticker in coastal North Carolina.
This argument is simple, eye-catching and undeniably true from a scientific perspective: if we want healthy populations of fish, crabs and shrimp, we need to protect key habitat where they live, breed and feed.
But do we?
The answer to that question, according to new report from the Center for American Progress, is a resounding no.
Not only that, things have gotten worse for fish habitats — and consequently, fisheries — since the Trump administration took office. And that puts fish populations, ecosystems, and part of the human food system at risk.
The heart of the problem, according to the report, lies the way we manage what's known under U.S. law as an EFH, or "essential fish habitat." These EFHs represent 800 million acres of habitat, including breeding and feeding sites for nearly 1,000 federally managed species, covering everything from coral reefs to rivers and wetlands.
Under the EFH regulatory structure, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration works with U.S. fisheries management councils — groups that consist of government managers and representatives from industry, academia and the environmental community — to identify and map these habitats.

The law also gives fisheries councils virtually all the power and responsibility to protect these critical habitats and the sensitive species that live in them from manmade threats, including destructive fishing gear.
Unfortunately, according to the new report, councils are largely not using their power to protect. Despite their designation as "essential," most of these habitats have no additional protections at all — they're not managed differently than any other kind of marine or river habitats. Much of the rest isn't protected strongly enough, according to the Center's examination.
Ocean policy analyst Alexandra Carter, the report's lead author, tells me they set out to understand the scope of the problem, but did not expect what they found.
"We were floored at how much identified EFH there is, but how little actual protections result from it," she says.
In fact, the report concludes with an alarming warning, "The vast majority of U.S. waters have insufficient protections for ensuring a healthy future for American fisheries and oceans."
The Weakest Link
Of the few areas that had protections, three-quarters had what the authors call "minimal protections" — usually just minor modifications to fishing gear that don't accomplish much conclusive good.
One example of such a minor gear modification can be found in the Gulf of Mexico, where bottom-trawl nets dragged across the seafloor feature a heavy chain called a "tickler," which improves catches by stirring up bottom-dwelling species like crabs, but which can also do a lot of damage to the habitat. In order to minimize the risk of damage, the EFH protection established by the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council requires the tickler chain to have one link weaker than all the others. This supposedly enables the chain to break, if necessary, rather than continue to damage habitat.
This sounds good in principle, but according to Carter, "There's no rule about how weak the link is supposed to be. It just has to be weaker than the other links."
In many cases, the requirements to protect identified these key habitats consist entirely of things that fishermen were already doing, such as gear modifications put in place because they improve fishing, not because they protect the habitat
"That means there's little additional protection, if any at all," Carter says. "A list of new rules that consists of things people were already doing is not really what we think of when we think of a new protected area."
How can this be? Well, according to Gib Brogan, an Oceana senior campaign manager who wasn't involved in this report, the process of identifying what counts as EFH is a scientific one with clear guidelines, but what's supposed to be done to protect an EFH once it's identified is a lot more flexible.
"There's been a lot of latitude given to the fisheries management councils," he says. "Fishery managers have to make rules to minimize the adverse effects of fishing, but there's lots of discretion about what exactly that means. And it'd be tough to make the case that the councils are fully implementing and fully achieving the requirements of the law. Habitat protection is often treated as a nuisance by managers, addressed not because it's a priority but because the courts say they have to after they're sued."
A Worsening Problem
While this is a longstanding problem, it, like many other environmental issues, has gotten worse during the Trump administration.
"Science-based management is the key to modern fisheries, and the current administration doesn't value science particularly highly," Brogan says.
The regulations and processes for identifying EFH haven't changed, but Carter notes that there's been a noticeable change in attitude among the councils as a result of the Trump administration's anti-regulation agenda. It was pressure from the New England fisheries management council, for example, that resulted in recent news that an Atlantic marine protected area would lose its protections. And a recent Executive Order solicited recommendations from councils for ways the administration could reduce regulatory burdens on fisheries.

There have also been other, non-EFH related cases where the administration ignored science when getting involved in fisheries management, including issues related to recreational fisheries management and issues related to marine zoning.
"If we just let the councils ask the president to allow fishing in all our MPAs and not have any protections in essential fish habitats, we're just not doing the best we can for our ocean ecosystems," Carter says. "The councils are poised to take advantage of any opportunities to allow more fishing. It's my opinion that with the Trump administration these opportunities seem to be much more abundant than in previous administrations."
Of course, most of the protected EFH areas aren't what scientists typically talk about when discussing marine protected areas, especially in the context of a goal to strongly protect 30% of the ocean by 2030. But experts say establishing stronger protections in EFHs would contribute to the same goals.
The report also cites the administration's trade policies and the continuing threat of climate change as elements that have worsened EFH protection over the past three and a half years.
Can we solve this problem?
The report includes two key suggestions for improving the way we use EFH regulations to protect the oceans.
The biggest is to introduce a new requirement that any identified essential fish habitat have at least some substantive protections, usually in the form of restricting what kind of destructive fishing practices can or can't take place there. Just noting that a place is important and should be protected without giving it any kind of actual protection, the authors say, is not especially useful. And while there's value in allowing the councils broad latitude to make solutions that work for local conditions, the fact that so much EFH remains unprotected or minimally protected is cause for concern and a reason for reform.
The report also suggests ways to improve the public consultation process for designating and protecting essential fisheries habitats. This is often used for other environmental regulations under U.S. law and has allowed for a more transparent and effective process.
"We should have EFH, but we should improve it so it's meaningful," Carter says. "If we're not doing what we can to preserve the valuable resources we have in the ocean, we are failing the future fishing industry of America. Protecting the ocean is a promise to the future to maintain public resources for the benefit of everyone."

This article reflects the views of the author. As the owner of UniGuide and a vegan, it is my view that people should not be consuming animals from the sea or on land at all. However, because many people are still consuming seafood, it is imperative that we have stronger regulations in place to protect ocean biodiversity, as well as biodiversity on land. – Kristen

Abreu cracks double, first hit as an Angel
Having gone hitless with a walk in his first two games in red, Bobby Abreu didn't waste any time banging his first hit in an Angels uniform on Friday at Tempe Diablo Stadium.
Facing Rockies southpaw Greg Smith, part of the deal that made Matt Holliday a member of the Athletics, Abreu smoked a line drive over the head of right fielder Matt Murton for a double in the bottom of the first inning. Hainley Statia, who'd walked leading off, scored on Freddy Sandoval's sacrifice fly.
In the top of the second, Abreu had his first misadventure in left field. A fly ball by Clint Barmes got up in the sun and Abreu couldn't find it, letting it fall for a triple. But Fernando Rodriguez, replacing Sean O'Sullivan after a two-run Colorado first, struck out two hitters to escape without yielding a run.
Abreu made it two doubles in two innings when he hit a sinking liner in front of Murton that kicked away from him far enough to allow Abreu — always an aggressive baserunner — to scoot into second.
A double as his first Angels hit was fitting for Abreu, who has had 35 or more doubles every season since 1999, his second full season in the Majors with the Phillies.
Following a walk to Mike Napoli, Sean Rodriguez showed off his pop with a double off the wall in left, driving home Abreu and tying the game at 2.
Rodriguez, a superb athlete with big-time power to right center, has been working out at second and short exclusively so far this spring. But he is a natural center fielder who would love to expand his versatility by getting some time in the outfield. A catcher as a kid, he also feels he could fill in behind the plate in an emergency.

Weaver throws off mound for first time
Jered Weaver, taking it more slowly this spring than last year when he came out of the chute blazing, threw off a mound for the first time and was feeling good afterward.
"I threw 25 fastballs," he said, "and everything felt good."
Weaver has made 200 innings his goal this season after falling short by 23 1/3 innings last year. He has had periodic shoulder issues, so the slower pace this spring was precautionary more than anything.
"I want to be ready when it counts," he said. "I'm not interested in being the Cactus League pitcher of the year."

Napoli passes shoulder test
Mike Napoli was beaming on Friday morning even before he saw the lineup card for the game against the Rockies featuring his name in the No. 4 slot as the Angels' designated hitter.
Daybreak brought good news. Napoli woke feeling no pain in his right shoulder after testing it for the first time on Thursday since undergoing arthroscopic surgery in late October, cleaning up a little mess that had cost him a month of the second half.
"I threw 70, 75 feet, around 20, 25 times," Napoli said. "It went well, and I'm not even sore today. I was a little worried how I'd feel when I got up, but it was fine, no pain.
"The last time I threw was the last game last season, so it's been a while. I feel strong."
Even if he's not ready to cut loose with enough velocity to catch by the season opener on April 6, Napoli wants to make the 25-man roster as a DH until he's ready to go behind the plate.
Manager Mike Scioscia has maintained that roster flexibility would go into that decision, which would force the club to carry a third catcher — Bobby Wilson or Ryan Budde — to back up Jeff Mathis.

Fuentes offers a preview
It was a glimpse of things to come for Angels fans: Brian Fuentes, facing lefty-swinging Eric Chavez with two on and one out, and down goes Chavez swinging. When another southpaw swinger, Jack Cust, flied to left, Fuentes was out of a jam he'd created for himself with a pair of one-out singles.
Fuentes is the closer, but we can expect to see him in eighth-inning situations occasionally such as this along the way: two on, tough lefty bats coming up. He sees himself as a closer who doesn't mind coming in for an out now and then in the eighth — as long as he gets to finish. Fuentes gives Mike Scioscia a feared southpaw specialist. As good as Darren Oliver has been, that's not who he is. Oliver is just as effective against right-handed hitters as lefties, and he's a guy you want in games for at least an inning.
The Angels' bullpen will have a different look this season with what Fuentes provides. Scioscia won't hesitate to let Scot Shields or Jose Arredondo close games if necessary on occasion –the former domain of K-Rod and K-Rod only.

Walden shows right stuff
Jordan Walden, looking very much like a young John Lackey, delivered two impressive innings in his Cactus League debut. The 6-foot-5 flamethrower from Texas ended both innings with strikeouts, leaving runners stranded, and finished with three K's.
The Athletics collected a pair of hits — Eric Chavez's single through the middle in the first, Chris Carter's opposite-field double leading off the second — but Walden buckled down when he needed outs. He caught dangerous Jack Cust looking at a third strike to end the first and Rob Bowen went down swinging to finish the second.
With a pitcher as young as Walden, who turned 21 in November, his response to adversity often determines how swiftly he advances through the system. Walden's stuff is premium: 95-96 mph heat that he holds into the sixth and seventh innings, complemented by developing off-speed stuff. With one out and Carter on third, Walden got Cliff Pennington to roll over on a grounder to Kendry Morales at first, and he shot down Carter at the plate. That was a location pitch, not a bullet, that got Walden out of trouble — a very good sign in his development.
Walden worked at two Class A levels last season, striking out 141 hitters in 156 1/3 innings at Cedar Rapids and Rancho Cucamonga. This guy could be on the fast track to Anaheim if he continues his development this season.

Return of the mailbag . . . as inbox
Yes, by popular demand, the ol' mailbag is coming back under a new format, now identified as Inbox to bring it more in step with the times. But it basically will be the same old song: you hurling questions, your faithful correspondent trying to respond as honestly as the law allows.
For now, if you have something you'd like to throw my way — and you know you do — just pass it along here, making sure to let me know where you live along with your first name and last name initial. We'll re-open a season-long dialogue. This will be more spontaneous than in the past, with no assigned publishing days. We'll be winging it, which should be fun.
In the immortal words of the great Marvin Gaye, let's get it on.
Shields, Arredondo impressive
Two essential components in the back end of the Angels' bullpen appear to be in mid-season form.
Scot Shields and Jose Arredondo make quick work of the White Sox on Wednesday after starter Matt Palmer was touched up for two runs on five hits in two innings.
Shields struck out Jim Thome during a 1-2-3 third inning, and Arredondo fanned Ben Broussard and Chris Getz in the fourth, getting a fine play in the hole by shortstop Hainley Statia to give him a perfect inning.
Brian Fuentes was given permission to return home to Merced. He will make his Angels debut when he returns. Fuentes and Shields are on Team USA's World Baseball Classic roster, while Arredondo will represent the Dominican Republic.
Rich Thompson, headed to the Classic to pitch for Australia, continued the run of outs by Angels relievers when he set down the White Sox in order in the fifth.

Napoli, Wood show muscle
Hitting fourth and fifth in the lineup in the Cactus League opener, Mike Napoli and Brandon Wood didn't waste any time flexing their muscles for the Angels.
After getting a hit taken away in the second inning by third baseman Josh Fields, Napoli — picking up where he left off with his torrid 2008 finish — launched a two-run double to left center in the third inning, giving the Angels a 3-2 lead over the White Sox.
Wood, who had backed Jermaine Dye to the wall in right in his first at-bat, had center fielder Jerry Owens climbing the wall in center to flag down his drive to end the inning against Octovio Dotel. Two at-bats, and Wood had launched about 750 feet worth of outs.
"I'm feeling more comfortable with my hands now," Wood was saying before the game. "It took a while to get a feel for it, but it feels natural now. I think I'm getting to the ball a little quicker."
Wood altered his stance last season, dropping his hands from a cocked position to give him a more direct path to the ball. He had his best month as an Angel in September, and he could be ready to take flight as a legitimate power presence.

Abreu gets quick test in left
Wouldn't you know it? The very first inning of his very first Cactus League game in left field, trying to get comfortable with the newness of it all, Bobby Abreu fields two fly balls.
Following two singles, White Sox slugger Carlos Quentin lifted a towering fly ball against Matt Palmer that drifted to his left as Abreu came charging in. He made the catch, but it wasn't an easy chance. The next hitter, Jim Thome, lifted another high fly that got in the path of the sun. Shielding his eyes with his glove, Abreu handled that one as well.
In his first Angels at-bat, Abreu sprayed a ball into the left corner, foul, before flying to center. In his second at-bat, against Octovio Dotel in the third, Abreu demonstrated his discipline, taking the count to 3-0 before walking on a 3-1 pitch after a fly-ball RBI double to left by Hainley Statia.
Abreu hopes to play every day until he departs after Sunday's game, giving him a chance to get acquainted with left field. Almost exclusively a right fielder in his 13-year Major League career, he has played left only 16 times — and not since 1997.

Too many good players
It's a nice problem to have, of course, but you have to wonder what it's like to be Matt Brown, looking around the Angels' clubhouse, wondering where you fit.
You were a star on the bronze medal-winning Team USA outfit in the Beijing Games last summer. You crushed the ball at Triple-A Salt Lake — again. You added some versatility, learning how to play first base. No less an authority than Reggie Smith, Team USA's hitting coach, touted you as a Major League talent — and Reggie is not a man to throw praise around randomly.
You know you can play, and yet you wonder where, and how it can happen. Chone Figgins is at third, your natural position, and behind him is Brandon Wood. One of Wood's teammates coming up through the farm system with him assured me that this guy "will just blow up if he ever gets a chance to play every day." So, if you're Matt Brown, 26 and waiting for your time, you wonder if it will ever come.
Kendry Morales has been given first base, and the guy can rake. Behind him is Robb Quinlan, who has a .285 career average in the Majors and must also wonder where he'll fit in as a role player yet again. Matt Brown: third at third, third at first.
There are others who work out every day, preparing for a long season, and leave camp every afternoon wondering what's in store. Reggie Willits, for example. He was fifth in the AL Rookie of the Year voting in 2007, a major contributor to the Angels' success, and he's sixth in line for a outfield job. Depth is a great thing if you're a manager or a GM, but if you're an athlete burning to play at the highest level, convinced you can make good things happen, and have names on top of yours on the depth chart . . . you sit and wait. And wonder.
Too many good players. A nice problem for Arte Moreno and Mike Scioscia and Tony Reagins, but not such a great thing if you're Matt Brown, Robb Quinlan, Reggie Willits, Freddy Sandoval, Terry Evans and all the others on the outside looking in.

The Journey to Fuller Breasts Through Breast Augmentation
A body asset that some women want to look good in is the breast. Unfortunately, not all are blessed with well-formed and voluptuous breasts that are often seen on the models of Sports Illustrated magazines, donning skimpy two-piece bikinis.
A little-known fact: the size of a woman's breasts is actually determined by genes.
Studies say that ladies may either inherit their chest size from either bloodline of their parents. Interesting, right?
But, before you go blaming one of your parents for your A or B-cup measurement, read this article as we have collected 4 reviews from Singapore women who courageously went under the knife to alter and achieve the breasts they have always dreamed of!
Breast Augmentation in Singapore by Yuna
Breast Augmentation Procedure + Recover Process by Vikki
The Mommy Makeover Enhancement After Child Bearing - Breast Augmentation and Recovery by Evelyn Wee
I Choose to Determine my Fate | My Breast Augmentation Journey by Amanda
Blogger Yuna of jpglicious.com breaks down her breast augmentation experience into two parts. The first segment of her review details her consultation and surgery day, while the other later part tackles her post-operation recovery. Prior to this, she shares her story of why she decided to have her breasts operated on in this blog.
Yuna shares that her breast size was of no importance to her during the time she was growing up, as all she wanted was to look slim. But, as she morphed into adulthood, Yuna acknowledges that her perception of beauty changed. She struggled to have B-cup sized boobs and would use push-up bras and paddings to make her breasts look bigger. She even fell for breast enhancing creams and other diets that promised to give fuller breasts but to no avail. So after years and years of contemplation (10 years to be exact!), Yuna finally scheduled herself for a breast augmentation procedure.
During her consultation, Yuna discloses that she was honest with her doctor in saying that she did not want fake boobs. With this, her doctor advised for her to schedule another consultation to undergo a session, which would allow a real-time simulation of how her desired implants would appear on the patient. This is called the Breast Implant Trial Volume Sizing Fitting Session.
On her second consultation, Yuna shares that this is where she decided on the type and shape of implants to be used on her body. According to her, there are two shapes of implants to choose from round and teardrop. Yuna opted to go for the teardrop for a more natural look. Likewise, implants have two types: Saline and Silicon. Yuna chose Silicon implants as she says these are more stable and felt more real to the touch.
Two shapes of implants you can choose from Round and Teardrop.
Yuna further shares that she felt a little bit overwhelmed during the fitting session as her breasts looked huge during the simulation and she was not used to seeing it that way. She also highly recommends asking your doctor their opinion on what size is best for you prior to the implant procedure.
So the "D-day" came for Yuna's breasts! Pardon the pun; Yuna actually got a C-cup to be more accurate. Yuna came into the scheduled breast augmentation treatment wearing a top recommended by the clinic: a loose button polo shirt.
One last snap to remember her small breasts!
As preparation before her procedure, Yuna mentions that she did not have any food or drink for 12 hours. She filled some forms as required by the clinic, including a consent form. She also processed payments for the treatment, other additional medications and a Stabilising Bra for aftercare. After completing this, a clinic nurse took her height and weight measurements. This was followed by the final measurements and markings done by her doctor on her body before the surgery.
Yuna recalls being put under general anaesthesia and then it was lights off for her.
A Stabilising Bra is used on Yuna after her breast implants surgery.
After an hour, Yuna woke up from her surgery. She says she felt several body sensations at once: dizziness, aches, and tiredness, no thanks to the general anaesthesia. These discomforts were bearable though. To address pain, Yuna advises talking to your doctor about getting additional painkillers.
Was there difficulty in the movement? Yuna says there was none. She felt tightness around her chest area, but this did not hinder her from moving around. A chaperone is also important to be by your side after the surgery. As Yuna reveals, her friend who accompanied her provided moral support and a listening ear for whenever she needed to vent out about the pain she felt from the treatment. She further suggests taking a taxi home to protect you from being pushed around in crowded buses or trains.
From A/B cup to a full C-cup! Yuna's breasts are rounder and fuller after her breast augmentation procedure.
Here is the link to Yuna's full breast augmentation treatment.
Vikki recalls pains from her childhood when she was humiliated for having small breasts. So, as she grew up she says she used padded bras, which were uncomfortable. It was because of these experiences that she was fervent on getting a breast augmentation.
At the start of her breast augmentation journey, Vikki shares about two generic breast implant shapes: Round and Teardrop. For women who wish to have a fuller shape on the top part of their breasts, Vikki recommends this shape. For women who can do away with rounder cleavages, Vikki suggests the Teardrop shape, as this is more natural.
Vikki opted for a Teardrop shape for her breasts to look natural.
Vikki educates her readers further about the kind of placements involved in breast augmentation. These are the Over and Under the Muscle placements. She notes that most breast implants use the Under the Muscle technique. This method is recommended for women who have thin skin and limited tissue around the breast. It also allows the breast to look natural.
After the doctor discussed these important pieces of information about breast implants, Vikki narrates that the stage she dreaded most came next—the revelation of her "non-existing boobs."
Vikki was made to wear a tight shirt during the assessment to have an idea of how the breast implants would look on her.
During this stage, Vikki discloses that she had to remove her top and bra for the doctor to assess the suitable breast size to complement her body's other measurements, such as weight, height and the size of her torso. After which, Vikki was asked to wear a tight white top so she and the doctor both have an idea on how her breast will turn out in the end. The doctor suggested for the size of 305CC implants for Vikki.
Once the assessment was done, Vikki finalizes the date of her surgery with the clinic.
Before the day of the surgery, Vikki enumerates a number of things that she had to undertake. These are a long list of pre-operative instructions (given by the doctor) and a mammogram, which serves as a record of your breast's health prior to the surgery. Should a situation arise concerning your breasts, the mammogram will be helpful in addressing the concern. The list of Do's and Don'ts are also itemized in her blog.
Pre-surgery tests were done to make sure that all of Vikki's vital signs are normal and she's safe for surgery
Surgery time! Vikki was ushered to the operating room where she was first injected with anaesthesia. The anesthesiologist placed an ice pack on the area for injection to lessen the pain. The surgery followed after this.
Vikki apologises, as she is not able to share photos of her surgery process because of a medical law in Singapore that bans the posting of such on any form of media.
Surgery is done! Vikki was finally able to eat after 12 hours of fasting.
When Vikki woke up after the surgery, she recalls peeking into her loose top and finally saw her big tight boobs. She was, obviously, very ecstatic about it. She was also informed that the effect of the anaesthesia could last up to 3 days, so she won't be feeling any pain around the operated area during this time.
To adjust to her enhanced breasts, Vikki was taught some exercises to speed up her recovery and loosening of the tight muscles.
Moving on to her recovery stage. Vikki shares that she felt excruciating pain after the anaesthesia has worn off on the third day after the treatment. She was also exasperated about the amount of bruising on her body, which spread from her chest down to her thighs. Her doctor explained to her that this was caused by gravity and the flow of blood. It took a week for the bruises to heal. Vikki mentions that she became depressed during this week of recovery, as she was not able to bear looking at her body's state in the mirror.
During the second week, the dressing on Vikki's wounds was removed. At the same time, the implants were checked if they were settling in place correctly. The pain has subsided by this time and Vikki was advised to press on the scars on her chest to smoothen them.
By the fourth week, Vikki happily reports that her implants settled very well and her side boobs have softened. On the 6th week, her scars have lightened and side boobs have softened entirely. Her breasts, she adds, looked more natural each day. On the 12th week, her breasts have softened but she mentions that she was still a long way to go in order to recover fully. But, she excitedly shares that during this period she was able to shop for new bras as her cup size has grown from A/B to C/D!
A before and after photo shows Vikki wearing the same shirt and you can definitely see the HUGE improvement on her boobs!
Despite a week of whining after the procedure, Vikki reveals that she has so much more confidence with the way her body looked. In fact, two magazines have already booked her for photoshoots with her newly enhanced breasts!

This is actually the third instalment of Evelyn Wee's self-makeover. In this blog, she shares about her on-the-day breast augmentation experience.
To proceed with her surgery, Evelyn shares that she signed off some forms confirming her consent to have the breast augmentation procedure done on her. She does not deny the fact that she felt scared minutes before her surgery ensued.
Evelyn's breast before the breast augmentation.
Before heading to the operating room, Evelyn's body was marked by the doctor. Evelyn was then led to where the surgery was to take place. As soon as she was settled on the bed, Evelyn recalls getting some injections that were administered by an anesthesiologist. The anaesthesia kicked in and she was out immediately in four seconds.
Evelyn recounts waking up and feeling drowsy. Her chest felt tight and a stinging sensation gripped the area where the incisions were made. She noted that her boobs were already very tight and elevated. Her entire procedure lasted for an hour.
One day after the procedure, Evelyn's breasts look stiff and smaller than she expected.
A day after her procedure, Evelyn narrates that the muscles on her upper chest ached. She mentions having a minor difficulty in breathing due to her tight chest muscles. To help her muscles relax, Evelyn did the exercises that were taught to her by the doctor after the surgery was done. Assessing her breasts, Evelyn discloses that they did not have the cleavage that she wanted yet. The doctor told her that this would eventually show when the muscles are more relaxed.
Here's a more confident Evelyn flaunting her newly enhanced breasts.
A month following her procedure, Evelyn gladly reports that her breasts were well defined. She did have scars, which measured at around 3cm. The scar looked dark, but Evelyn shares that they lighten up gradually, blending into her skin tone. Her breasts looked more natural in the second month after her operation.
For costs, Evelyn shares

Amanda confides in her blog that she usually got teased for having a flat chest. Once she watched a video by a Singapore vlogger who had her breast augmented. In the video, the vlogger mentioned how having a flat chest affected her confidence, hence her decision to have breast implants. Amanda was able to see herself in the shoes of that vlogger and the video has not left her mind since.
Amanda's flat chest used to be a target of teasing.
Years later, Amanda finally set foot and started her breast augmentation journey. She found a clinic that she liked and booked a consultation. On the day of her consultation, her doctor sat and listened to her queries and concerns for an hour. At the same time, her doctor explained to her how the breast augmentation procedure worked and other things that gave Amanda the assurance that she was in good hands.
After the consultation, Amanda writes that she was asked to sample some implants in order to check which suited her best. The doctor then asked her to think about her decision and come back when she is ready to undergo the procedure. Of course, it did not take much time for her to decide.
Unfortunately, Amanda was not able to narrate the details of her surgery, but she did mention about a video interview she released about her experience.
Amanda's dresses fit her much better with her augmented breasts.
On the second part of her blog, Amanda debunks some myths about breast augmentation. She also shares about how she was now able to enjoy wearing blouses and dresses with a fuller chest. Her photos in this blog showed a drastic improvement in her figure.
Here are the links to Amanda's first and second instalments of her breast augmentation experience.

Bellone Likely a Shoe-in, But Legislative Races Could Be Costly for Dems and GOP
Spencer Rumsey
A 33-point lead may not be insurmountable on a football field—unless it's late in the fourth quarter—but it's a very tough hurdle in a political campaign with time running out before the general election. It happens to be the gap in the Suffolk County executive race, according to a recent poll.
The candidate on top is the incumbent, Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone, a Democrat, and the underdog is his little-known Republican challenger James O'Connor, a former North Hempstead Town board member who moved from Nassau to Suffolk about a decade ago.
An Oct. 6 Siena College/Newsday/News 12 survey had Bellone enjoying a 61-28 percent advantage after 400 registered and likely voters weighed in. What's also telling is that a majority told the same pollsters they thought that the county was on the right track.
Granted, the survey was conducted before Standard & Poor's released its latest bond-rating that dropped Suffolk down another notch, from A+ to A, and also said the county's long-term rating outlook was "negative."
"This is a fiscal crisis beyond any that we've ever seen," exclaimed Suffolk Republican Chairman John Jay LaValle, adding that "we have a county executive that can't stop spending money."
He noted that Bellone claims he hasn't raised the general fund property tax increase for the fourth year in a row but won't mention that police district taxes, which are slated to rise 3 percent in the county's 2016 budget, have gone up in each of the last three years.
"He's raising taxes and the bond rating's diving," LaValle told the Press. "We're a mess and it's getting worse."
As for the prospects of O'Connor, LaValle's pick to replace Bellone, the Republican chairman insisted that the "Sienna poll is flawed because it's based on a balanced turnout [of voters on Election Day]…but Republicans vote in off-year elections and Democrats stay home."
LaValle pointed out that the Sienna polls made the same mistake predicting that Rep. Tim Bishop (D-Southampton) would keep his Congressional seat instead of losing to state Sen. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) last fall.
The Suffolk Republican party leader conceded that O'Connor "has a lot less money and got a later start" in the race than they would have liked "but the reality is that his message is strong and people are paying attention now."
Getting enough Suffolk Democrats to re-elect Bellone as county executive race is definitely a worry for Suffolk Democratic Chairman Rich Schaffer, who's also Babylon Town supervisor.
"I think Steve's got a very good chance based on his record of accomplishment," Schaffer told the Press, but "the one thing that concerns me is turnout, because this guy O'Connor has literally done nothing in this campaign."
Schaffer said that usually in an off-year election like this one, about 23 percent to 27 percent of the registered voters come to the polls, and "that's what we've focused our efforts on: educating the voters and putting a lot into our turnout operation."
Regarding Suffolk's declining bond rating, Schaffer said that under Bellone's leadership the county has "made some great strides" in dealing with the structural imbalance in Suffolk's fiscal condition, and Standard & Poor's had taken that into consideration.
"It didn't take one day to get into this situation," Schaffer said, "and the financial rating agencies understand that it will take a lot of effort and time to get out of this situation."
This year, despite having a Democratic incumbent as Suffolk County executive and a 10-to-6 majority of the Suffolk Legislature's 18 seats (the Working Families Party and Independence Party also each have one), Schaffer's party organization has had to overcome its own fiscal imbalance. In September Schaffer called a special meeting of the Democratic executive committee and reportedly got authorization to borrow up to $500,000. Schaffer, an attorney, had already given the party an $80,000 "no interest loan" to get through Election Day, he told the Press, explaining that they'd started door-to-door paid canvassing early this year and planned to launch TV ads in the next two weeks for a couple of legislative districts which he declined to name.
As for his own political forecast, Schaffer exclaimed, "I don't think the town races are competitive as in years past." Suffolk's 10 townships are evenly split between the two parties, and that status quo will most likely remain unchanged after the Nov. 3 general election.
But Schaffer did predict that the race for the 14th Legislative District, currently held by Kevin J. McCaffrey, the legislature's minority leader, "is going to be a very close race, and I think it could surprise the Republicans there." The Democratic challenger is Tim Sini, Bellone's deputy for public safety.
"We expect that we are going to have more Republican legislators after Election Day," countered LaValle, the Suffolk GOP chairman. He put the number at "five, possibly six" seats.
No matter how he does the math, LaValle can't count on the Republicans electing a candidate from the 9th Legislative District in Islip because they aren't running one. But judging from the Islip Town Democratic Committee's website, they aren't running one, either. And that's why the race for this seat is probably the bitterest political contest in Suffolk this fall because it's split the local Democratic Party and could be a harbinger of a future upset to come.
It pits Legis. Monica Martinez, a Democrat now running on the Working Families Party and Independence Party lines, against Giovanni Mata, an Islip Democrat who won the primary because she dropped out of the race after her campaign was accused of filing fraudulent petitions to get her on the ballot. She declined to have her day in court, and Judge Joseph Santorelli directed the Suffolk Board of Elections not to put her name on the Democratic ballot in the September primary. Mata was the de facto winner.
Republican Islip Town Supervisor Angie Carpenter, left, is running against Democratic challenger Tom Licari, right.
At the head of Citizens United to Reform Islip, the Democratic slate of candidates that included Mata, was former Legis. Rick Montano, who was challenging the Islip Town Democratic Committee's candidate Tom Licari for Islip supervisor in the primary. Licari wound up beating him by only 87 votes—1,000 to 913. Montano claims his campaign spent $13,000 compared to the $53,000 spent by the town committee with another $28,000 chipped in by Schaffer's county committee. Schaffer did not dispute those figures but they may not include all the campaign expenditures depending on further review.
The turnout represented barely 2.9 percent of Islip's 65,726 registered voters, and tellingly for the general election, Bellone had prominently supported Licari. Primaries rarely draw a high proportion of voters no matter who's on the ballot in an off-year election, but the weather was also a factor in keeping people away from the polls since 2.3 inches of rain fell that day on Islip, more than 60 percent of the monthly average, according to the National Weather Service's Upton facility.
Montano, who seemed surprisingly upbeat despite his defeat, said, "We did great, considering the forces against us." His animosity toward his own party's chairman is not a secret and the feeling is mutual.
Montano declined to endorse the triumphant Licari against the incumbent Republican Angie Carpenter, and Schaffer refused to back Mata in his legislative race. At the Sept. 24 meeting of the Suffolk County Democratic Executive Committee, held at the Melville Hilton, Schaffer not only urged members of his party to support Martinez for re-election, he went even further, infuriating Mata's supporters who were there.
"I said he [Mata] should go look for support from his Republican friends that he has supported," Schaffer told the Press. "I don't think he has any intention of working with us."
"Giovanni Mata is the designated candidate of the Democratic Party whether Schaffer likes it or not," Montano said to the Press. "Once Giovanni gets elected, he's a Democrat. He's going to caucus [in the legislature] as a Democrat. If Schaffer tries to exclude him from the caucus, we will have the biggest fight, legally and otherwise, because that's just not going to happen. Giovanni's going to take his place as a Democratic legislator from this district."
The 9th Suffolk County Legislative District, which includes Brentwood, Central Islip and North Bay Shore, predominantly represents African-American and Latino residents. As such, it's also got a strong contingent of immigrants, particularly from El Salvador, which is still recovering from a bitter civil war. Mata, a native Salvadoran, moved to the U.S. when he was 13. Martinez emigrated from El Salvador when she was 3.
What happens in Islip this November may have a impact far beyond its borders. Compared to other Long Island towns, Islip's political lineage is significant since it connects to the New York State Senate as well as Congress.
With Montano out of the race and plotting his next move, the competition for Islip Town supervisor features two candidates from Fire Island: Carpenter has a place in Ocean Beach and Licari has a home in Kismet. Licari's campaign manager, Matt Tighe, explained that "his family has lived there for over 80 years," but insisted that Licari has "strong roots all over town." Carpenter ran her first race for county legislature in 1992 from West Islip and served in the legislature until 2005 when she was elected Suffolk County treasurer.
Earlier this year, Carpenter was appointed Islip supervisor by Islip Republican leaders to replace Tom Croci, who'd left town hall to run for the state senate. He defeated Adrienne Esposito, the executive director of Citizens Campaign for the Environment. Esposito, a Democrat, had begun her campaign thinking she was going to oppose Islip Town board member Anthony Senft, who was implicated, fairly or not, by the dumping scandal involving tons of toxic waste found at Roberto Clemente Park and other sites. Since Senft, a Conservative, was the town board's liaison to the parks department, the issue was too hot for him to handle. He withdrew from the race, and Croci entered it.
The state Senate seat was vacant because Sen. Lee Zeldin, the Republican then representing Shirley, had beaten his long-time Democratic rival, Rep. Tim Bishop, who'd creamed him the first time they faced each other. Nationally, Democrats were counting on Bishop to keep the House Republicans from gaining strength in Washington, D.C. In New York, Democrats were hoping to replace Zeldin and weaken the Republicans' hold in Albany. It would have been like winning the trifecta since the Democrats already have the Assembly through gerrymandering and the governorship thanks to Andrew Cuomo.
But as the countdown to Nov. 3 gets closer, the state Senate remains in Republican hands, even though by party regulation it's a tie, with 31 Republicans and 31 Democrats, and one seat vacant. In practice, the GOP wields control because five members of the Independent Democratic Caucus and a conservative Democrat from Brooklyn, Simcha Felder, conference with them, thereby making Sen. John Flanagan (R-Smithtown) the majority leader. Flanagan took over the top post last year after Sen. Dean Skelos (R-Rockville Centre) had to step down because he was indicted on federal corruption charges. Skelos, who pleaded not guilty, is still serving in the senate from his Nassau district pending the outcome of the case. Tellingly, Skelos's indictment reportedly came about by a federal investigation into former Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver (D-Manhattan), who remains in office but yielded his powerful position to Assemb. Carl Hastie (D-Bronx), who graduated from Stony Brook University.
And for now, those powerful connections are about as good as it gets for Suffolk County. Until next year's presidential election, when all bets are off and it's a brand new game.

h2. Question
How is MS Shadow Copy (VSS) used by CDP?
h2. Answer
Microsoft Shadow Copy, also known as Volume Snapshot Service or VSS, is used by R1Soft CDP for Windows.
Shadow Copy is a technology included in Windows Operating systems that allows for taking manual or automatic backup copies or snapshots of data, even if it has a lock, on a specific volume at a specific point in time over regular intervals. It is implemented as a Windows service called the Volume Shadow Copy service.
MS Volume Shadow Copy Service is a facility that can be used for many different purposes. One feature of VSS is the ability to take a block level point-in-time snapshot of a disk Volume. VSS guarantees that the file system is consistent when a snapshot is performed.
Most Windows CDP applications (R1Soft is an exception) use MS VSS for shared folders. These applications do not delete the snapshot in step 10 when done and instead must keep the snapshot and perform copy-on-write the entire time until the next backup operation. This is because the method of computing deltas (VSS for shared folders) works by comparing two Volume Shadow Copy snapshots.
R1Soft uses Volume Shadow Copy Service to take cluster level point in time volume snapshots of the running volume/disk.
The process of making a file system snapshot usually takes less than a second and if done correctly is never noticed by users or running applications. MS VSS usually takes around a second but can be delayed by Writers (notified applications) taking too long to become consistent for the backup operation.
Contiguous blocks are needed by VSS and really any other snapshot technology. A user space daemon (the VSS System Service Provider) creates a contiguous file in the file system in the hidden SYSVOL folder and gives the block range to the VSS device driver in the Windows kernel. The Windows kernel then writes cached blocks needed to maintain the snapshot directly to disk, bypassing the file system.

Halifax station is an MBTA Commuter Rail station in Halifax, Massachusetts. It serves the Plymouth/Kingston Line. It is located off Holmes Street (Massachusetts Route 36) in northeastern Halifax. It opened when service was restored on the Old Colony Lines on September 29, 1997. It has two tracks and two platforms to allow trains to pass at the station (most of the 1997-opened stations have only one track).

The station was quickly the busiest on the line. The original 281-space lot was expanded by 120–150 spaces around 2000.

The New Haven Railroad's Halifax station, closed with the rest of the Old Colony Division in 1959, was located on the opposite side of Holmes Street.

Featured Artist: Talking Dreamlike Landscapes with James Fenner
"...a lot of what inspires me are those landscapes and the solitude that comes with them."
James Fenner (RB name JMFenner) is a Portland-based illustrator currently attending Pacific Northwest College of Art. Originally from Michigan, Fenner uses the influences of the both the lakes of his home state and the natural environments from his current surroundings to create lush, dreamlike images of drifting young men and women who float, journey, and get lost within brilliantly realized surreal landscapes.
I met up with the gifted artist during ICON8 to chat about his past, influences, process, future and more.
Artist James Fenner
How long have you been drawing?
I've been drawing since I was a little kid. My whole family are artists. My mom does artwork, my aunt does artwork, and so does my uncle, so I kind of grew up around that and they were really supportive of me doing that so it's just kind of been a natural progression. They've been really helpful and they were always supporting anything I did art-wise. In first grade I would do this weekly comic for the class, which was really cool and present it – it doesn't make any sense now.
Do you still have it?
Yeah, I have all that stuff. She made sure never to throw any sketches away, which is kind of awful. Coming out here was another big step. I think I improved a lot, going to school.
"Dumb, Little Secrets" by JMFenner
How has school helped you improve?
Coming to school, I think it broadened my experience. The places I was looking for inspiration. Before coming here and before high school, I was really interested in anime and manga stuff, and I was drawing a lot of not great things. And when I came to school here, eventually, I started to get more interested in design and shapes and not just focusing so much on the human figure and drawing pretty images, it's more about images that have meaning. So now it's just focusing on mood and atmosphere and exploring, I think I didn't do a lot of that.
Where do the moods come from?
It's a lot of nostalgia. Since I grew up on lakes in Michigan, it's a lot of thinking back about my times in lakes or in the forests around lakes, just little moments I miss a lot. And a lot of trips with my family when I was young. And sometimes it'll come from putting on music in the background, I like to do that and it'll help emphasize the mood and help drive a piece forward. A lot of times, out here, it's nice because we have the mountains in Oregon and I get inspired by all the landscapes and scenery here, as opposed to Michigan, which is just flat.
What kind of music?
I like a lot of stuff I can just zone out to. If I just want to work, I usually put on hip hop stuff or instrumentals, stuff that's just low-key that I can just zone out to and just work and let it decide it self. If I'm trying to think of a different feeling that I want, if I want it to be a happy piece or a sad piece, I'll usually create a playlist of artists that I have work of that I like. For a while I used Bjork for a lot, and Chrystal Castles, the kind of stuff that'll help drive an emotional feel.
"Translations" by JMFenner
How did you develop this style?
It's definitely a mixture of a bunch of different artists that I like. One of the things that I was taught was by Lee White, who's an illustrator and one of my instructors at Art Institute here. He's fantastic and one of the things he made us do was create a dream portfolio where we just essentially create a folder of images that we wish to create and we want to be able to call our own and then we just look at them like a collection and then narrow down what we're doing that's different from the images as a whole. So it's like, "I want the lines that this person has," "I want to have these kinds of colors," and it's usually they'll have something in common that is missing. So a lot of my linework derived from Sterling Hundley, he's been a big inspiration. I've been looking at Sachin Teng, and Edward Kinsella, and Adam Tan too – his atmosphere is great. I try to update my dream portfolio every couple of weeks just to keep it current and see the things that I'm missing out on. So it's just been about taking from them what I want, because, I guess to me, what an art style means is just a collective of all your other favorite artists, and so when you're trying to create your own style, it should be something that you love, it's supposed to be catered towards you, and if you're not doing that, you're not having fun, I don't think. So that's been my mantra: I'm doing this to perpetuate a message that I'm trying to get across a feeling, and it's just a lot of being selfish. But it's been fun, and that's how I approach it.
Do you ever think about the story of your pieces?
Sometimes. Although, a lot of times, the story comes as I'm creating a piece. Sometimes, I'll go in with one already there. Like, for example, "The Spirits of Lake" piece – it's kind of based on my experiences in Michigan when I was growing up and I would go into lakes at night or during the day and just close my eyes, it was weird because you can feel stuff around you like fish moving around, and it was about dreams that I had about being back there in that place and monsters in the water and weird spirits coming out and creeping up on you. And then I drew — there's a circular piece in the middle around the character, and it's supposed to be like a dream catcher, and it's symbolizing that it's a separation between the dream world and the real world. I kind of just take it as I go, I guess. I kind of just make up the stories as I go along, unless I have written things out. Those ones come out a little less emotional, they don't have the impact I want them to because they're not as in the moment and I don't feel it in the moment. The way I work lends itself to that because I tend to work really fast and if I do a piece I do it all in one sitting, so I end up usually taking an hour for the drawing and an hour for painting, and then I'm done. I think it helps.
What's your process like?
Generally, I just sketch in my sketchbook. First I work with mechanical pencil just on computer paper or sketchbook paper. And then I end up just scanning that right after I'm done. And then I color that in Photoshop using various brushes and then I texture it, just to give it a watercolor or more traditional feel. That's been struggle, I think, because I really like the feel of traditional media but I don't use traditional media hardly ever. It's just difficult for me because there's so much cleanup time and the set up for it takes too much time for me to keep the emotional feel that I want in the piece, so it's hard for me to plan around that.
"Closure" by JMFenner
How do you decide on where you place color?
That's a good question because one of the things that I struggled with even more than just drawing was color, because when I first started drawing, I would just pick colors from where ever and it did not seem cohesive. So what I did to get over that was when I started making the dream portfolios, I would actually build the color based close to artists that I liked and pieces that I liked and then I would begin picking out pieces from those and I could establish a color theme that I wanted to go with. And as it evolved I can now just pick whatever and even now, sometimes, I can look at photographs and say, "that's such a good color palette, I'll have to save it for later" and I sample a couple from it that I really need. And that's been how I use it. When I'm consciously doing it I try to keep in mind the warms and cools and highlights and wherever your attention is going to go. That's something I'm still working on a lot. I know value is a thing I need to work on a bunch, and that's the best main thing I've been trying to get better about.
So this piece right here, do you have a plan?
No. Usually when I begin pieces, I usually start by just drawing the head in a random position, I'll draw the circle and I'll just put the face on it. And as I go along I'll decide however I want the body to feel. I will have no idea until it decides for itself.
James Fenner sketching
Do you think there's a theme that you're working on or working towards?
Right now, a lot of it is kind of solitude or a dreamlike state and I know that a lot of what inspires me is nostalgia and my past and places that I've been or places that I want to go that I dream about. So a lot of what inspires me are those landscapes and the solitude that comes with them. That's what I really love, is those quiet scenes.
What's your career goal?
All my personal work is about trying to get something out for me. It's a lot of self-satisfaction and so when I create pieces, I create them largely for myself to just get them out or to just think through something, and a lot of is working through my own emotions or working through memories that I have that I want to revisit. And it gives me a good to reason to think about those things for an extended period of time and it gives me good inspiration for pretty images. In the future what I want to work towards is doing more editorial work for magazines and book covers and that's really what I love doing, but it's hard bridging that gap between the two. Since a lot of personal work is so personal to me and a lot of what I would working toward in professional fields is a little more distant. That's been the struggle right now, trying to figure out how to get between those two places in a meaningful way. And I think I'll get towards it, but it's hard.
What kind of self-promotion are you doing?
I just try to post everywhere, I don't try to limit it. I post on all the big sites, mainly, and I try to post as often as I can. I post mainly on Tumblr and DeviantArt and Facebook as my main big places to promote sketches and stuff. And I use Instagram and Twitter for more smaller scale, just doodles. I've just been really active on those and I've just been trying to keep it current and keep up with and post something once a week, maybe. And that it seems like I'm still doing things and I'm around. It can't hurt to post those things, it's just more exposure, people do share it, right? What's the reason NOT to share it, right?
Any advice to your fellow artists on Redbubble?
I would say just post. Don't try to limit yourself to what you do. Don't try to curate your own work, rather. If someone wants it, they'll buy it. A lot of it is in your own mind when you begin to post, but when it comes to people actually wanting work or purchasing work, a lot of it is about them and what they take from your work, so what you see is not what they see, a lot of the time, so you shouldn't really worry about that sort of thing. I just try to post as many as my favorite pieces that I can, and even some that I'm not as fond of that got more attention on websites. I don't try to eliminate any just because I don't like them, personally. It can't hurt to be there.

De groene veldschildwants (Palomena viridissima) is een wants uit de familie Pentatomidae.

Uiterlijk
De wantsen zijn 11 tot 14 millimeter lang. De groene veldschildwants (de wetenschappelijke naam virdissima betekent helgroen) lijkt sterk op de groene schildwants (Palomena prasina). Beide zijn groen gekleurd en in de herfst verkleuren ze naar olijfbruin, vaak met een paarse glans. Na overwintering worden de wantsen weer groen. Bij beide soorten is het scutellum van dezelfde kleur als de lichaamskleur.

De rand van het halsschild (pronotum) van de groene veldschildwants is aan de voorkant convex gebogen (naar buiten toe, iets bol). Bij de groene schildwants is de rand van het halsschild concaaf gebogen (naar binnen toe, iets hol). Het tweede segment van de antenne van de groene veldschildwants is 1,6 tot 2 keer zo lang als het derde segment. Bij de groene schildwants zijn deze twee segmenten van ongeveer dezelfde lengte.

De jonge nimfen van beide soorten zijn moeilijk uit elkaar te houden.

Verspreiding en habitat
De soort is wijdverspreid in Midden-Azië en Europa, met uitzondering van de Britse eilanden en het noorden van Scandinavië. In Duitsland wordt komt hij vooral in het zuiden voor, maar daar is hij toch veel zeldzamer dan de groene schildwants. In Noord-Duitsland is de wants slechts sporadisch aanwezig.

Leefwijze
Net als de groene schildwants leeft de groene veldschildwants in veel verschillende soorten habitats. Ze zijn in het bijzonder te vinden in de kruidachtige laag, doch zelden op loofbomen. De soort is polyfaag en voedt zich met diverse planten. De volwassen wants overwintert.

Q: Multidimensional array to table or split multidimensional arrays Sad to say i have a little problem again :-(
I have a multidimensional array from a database now i want to write it in a table where the groupe value should be the column header and all records with the same groupe value should be in the rows of the column.
The array is ordered by the groups.
Here my test array the original has 8 values in the sub array but i think it will show the problem:
Array (
    [0] => Array
        ( [0] => id [1] => name1 [2] => mail1 [3] => groupe1)

    [1] => Array
        ( [0] => id2 [1] => name3 [2] => mail3 [3] => groupe1)

    [2] => Array
        ( [0] => id3 [1] => name2 [2] => mail2 [3] => groupe2)
)

The table look like:

    Groupe 1
    Groupe 2

    name1
    name2

    name3

I think the solution will be to strip down the groupes to a one dimensional array remove duplicates and loop through the header.
Then split the array by groupes and loop through the rows ...
But what ever i try i fail by modeling the new arrays ... and maybe you know a easier way :)
Thank you very much !

A: It seems you are getting a common problem, you want to display your data in columns instead of rows.
The solution is to use an intermediate array in which you store your data by group.
So, loop on your rows, get the group, if the group does not exist in array, create array.
By the way you want to calculate the maximum number of row in a group. The easier way is to loop on your group array and to use count and >.
Use the FOR loop to reach max value, if a group has no data for this index (use isset()), display and empty string, else display the name (or the data you want).
You could do it with 2-3 loops... :D
Bonus: You can optimize this algorithm by using ORDER BY group_id in your SQL query, then you could get the max length directly in the first loop..

A: Got it :-)
I think this solution is may be not the best but it works and can be used for similar situations.
What i have done:

*

*Get only the groupe values from the data array and make it unique.

*Split the Data array in separate groupe arrays

*Build the table with a help table for the rows.
Here is a sample code:
<?php
//Make test array Data;
$data = array();
$data[0][0] = 'Name1';
$data[0][1] = 'GroupeA';

$data[1][0] = 'Name2';
$data[1][1] = 'GroupeA';

$data[2][0] = 'Name3';
$data[2][1] = 'GroupeB';

print_r ($data);
echo ('
');
echo ('
');

//Get only all groupes from the data array and make it unique so every groupe is shown only once
//For the header and for counting.

$groups1 = array();
$groups2 = array();
$x = 0;
foreach($data as $value) {
$groups1[$x] = $value['1'];
$x ++;
}

$groups2 = array_unique($groups1); //Make unique so every groupe is shown only once in the array
$groups = array_values($groups2); // Renumber the Array Keys ( 0 to ?)

//Split the data array to seperate groupe arrays and give them auto names.
//So every Groupe has its own array called grpdata0 to grpdata?

$x = 0;
$x2 = 1;
$gr = count($groups);

while($gr>0) {

foreach($data as $value) {
if ($value[1] == $groups[$x]) {
${'grpdata' . $x}[$x2] = $value;
$x2++;
}
}

$gr--;
$x++;

}

// Renumber the array keys from the grpdata arrays ( 0 to ?)
$gr2 = count($groups)-1;
while($gr2>=0) {
${'grpdata' . $gr2} = array_values(${'grpdata' . $gr2});
$gr2--;
}

//Make the table
?>

<?php //Make the header depending on the groups
  foreach($groups as $value) {
  echo ('' . $value . '	');
  }?>

<?php // Make the columns (by groupe) and add the rows (with a helping table)
 $x = 0;
  foreach($groups as $value) {
  echo ('');
  foreach(${'grpdata' . $x} as $value) { ?>

    <?php echo $value[0]; ?>

  <?php
  }
  echo ('	');
  $x++;
  } ?>

Thank you !

In case you didn't see it in the Globe today, the state of Massachusetts has launched its "Do Not Call" registry, which "allows residents to block telemarketing calls to their homes..."
Mass. Residents can sign up until March 1 using a Web site, www.mass.gov/donotcall or by telephone, (866) 231-2255, or through the mail at PO Box 1348, Boston, MA 02117.
Under the new law, which takes effect April 1, telemarketing firms that fail to register or that call consumers on the lit will face penalties of $5,500 per violation. Calls from nonprofit and political organizations are exempted.
Also, a friend sent this "beep", which he claims if you record as the first thing on your answering machine, will make the telemarketing auto-dial machines hang up (and maybe even delete your phone from their list). This is what the Telezapper (as seen on TV, before midnight tonight) does.
