NYPD registering devices at Apple stores on iPhone 5 launch dayThe New York Police Department is on-hand at Apple's retail locations in the Big Apple on Friday to help customers register their electronics in order to potentially recover them in the event of a theft.

The NYPD's "Anti-Apple Picking Campaign" is part of the NYPD's Operation ID, a free service in which offers registers the serial number of valuable portable electronics along with the owner's name and contact information. Friday the police department made a major push, as highlighted by Gothamist, to get users registered on the launch date of the iPhone 5.
"The theft of Apple phones and other handheld devices drove the spike in robberies and larceny this year," Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said. "Individuals alert to their surroundings are less likely to become victims, and Operation ID will help those whose property is lost or stolen to get it back."
Members of the public can bring any of their portable electronic devices, even if it is not an iPhone, to the NYPD personnel that are stationed at all Apple retail stores on Friday. The NYPD also has officers using iPhones with iCloud and Find My iPhone which can help users relocate their iPhone in the event that it is lost or stolen.
Those upgrading to the iPhone 5 can also check out AppleInsider's breakdown of trade-in offers for previous-generation iPhones. A number of online providers offer cash in return for a used iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, or iPhone 4S, making the cost of the new iPhone 5 easier to afford.

The Shortball highlights from Round 9 of Super Rugby
With slightly less controversy than Round 8, but no less excitement, Round 9 of Super Rugby was awash with great tries, more surprise results and as always some brutal hits to cap it all off. The guys at Rugby HQ, led by Sean Maloney, have put together another recap.
In this week's Shortball compilation, keep an eye out for Cheslin Kolbe's outstanding solo effort, some impressive strength from Will Genia, another look at Willem Alberts' huge shoulder on Mark Richards, and an Aaron Smith penalty attempt he'd rather not remember.
It was a weekend where the underdogs got the bone, as the Blues and the Highlanders defeated the Brumbies and the Crusaders respectively, and the Stormers overturned the Waratahs for their first win on tour.
The Waratahs defeat means that along with the Brumbies, the Reds and Western Force, all four Australian sides who were playing lost, as the Rebels had a bye this week.
The spacing of each nations' top four conference sides within the overall table is interesting to note. Only 4 points separate the South African sides (the Bulls to the Sharks), whilst 11 points come between the New Zealand teams (the Hurricanes to the Crusaders), and a vast 17 points divide the Australian complement (the Brumbies to Western Force).
The completion of Round 9 means the Super Rugby season finds itself at the halfway point with the Hurricanes still out on top unbeaten - but there's a long way to go.

Huge Hit From Peter Kimlin Leaves Leigh Halfpenny with more injury woe
Grenoble welcomed the current European Champions, Toulon, to the Stade des Alpes for a Top 14 clash this past weekend. This big tackle that Australian flanker Peter Kimlin put on Leigh Halfpenny was far from welcoming however.
Since arriving at the French giants the Welsh fullback has suffered continually with injury troubles, but was starting to look like he was on a solid road to recovery.
A concussion against Italy in the final game of the Six Nations however meant it was back to the sidelines for the metronomic kicker. Having spent his time recovering, an air of excitement encapsulated the return of the Welsh wizard.
Grenoble back rower Kimlin, was not in a sympathetic mood however.
The visitors' openside, Mamuka Gorgodze, lumbered inside his man before lofting an unconventional and somewhat dooming pass to the waiting Halfpenny, which meant he had to stop his run to catch the ball.
After Halfpenny gathered in possession whilst flatfooted, an approaching Kimlin saw his opportunity to put a mammoth shoulder into the stationary target - and he did not miss.
The powerful hit actually caused a minor dislocation in Halfpenny's shoulder, and although bravely continuing to play for 10 minutes, the pain eventually forced him from the field.
The visitors proved too strong for Grenoble on the night, with the final score 23-35 to Toulon.
Initial reports say that Halfpenny is unlikely to play next week in their European Champions Cup semi-final against Leinster, and although Toulon are more than capable of filling the fullback role, the creative play and reliable kicking of the Welsh talisman are sure to be missed.
EXTRA: This came shortly after tank Mathieau Bastereaud had easily dismissed the attempted tackle of Grenoble number 8, Rory Grice. That contest can be seen on page 2.

Mark Richards KO'd after colliding with the shoulder of Willem Alberts
Making his debut for the Lions in Round 9 of Super Rugby this weekend, winger Mark Richards' evening ended early when he was left unconscious after taking a heavy knock from Sharks flanker, Willem Alberts.
Richards, a recognised success in sevens, was making his first appearance for the Lions since his return to 15-a-side rugby. Unfortunately the night didn't end as he, or many of the excited home fans, would have liked.
Lions' scrum-half Faf de Klerk chipped the ball over, but it bounced up awkwardly, as rugby balls so often do, and with credit to Richards for his commitment he kept his eyes locked on regaining possession.
Due to this however, he was unaware of Sharks' openside Alberts bearing down from the opposite direction with a similar desire to poach the ball from the air.
Alberts won the race, and after gathering in possession he continued to motor toward the approaching Richards, who was entirely unprepared to make a tackle as he had been hoping to have the ball himself.
The resulting collision sent the Lions' winger, who weighs 6 stone less than Alberts, down to the turf with a sickening thud.
The officials and medical staff were extremely quick to react and play was stopped as all safety precuations were observed to ensure Richards safety was paramount.
After a lengthy delay the brave winger was stretchered from the pitch, but thankfully was seen up and about on the sidelines during the second half.
Richards will take solace in the fact that the Lions extended their Super Rugby winning streak to four, after the final whistle left the Sharks trailing 21-23 on the night.
Alberts is well known for his aggression and powerful play, and in fact put in a monstrous hit on Jaco Taute in the same Super Rugby encounter back in 2010.

A Tribute To big Brad Thorn, who will now retire aged 40
Leicester Tigers and former New Zealand second row Brad Thorn has announced his retirement from all forms of competitive rugby at the age of 40, after what can only be described as an outstanding career that has spanned an incredible 21 years.
Having been born in New Zealand, Thorn's family moved to Australia while he was in his mid-teens. In 1994 he made his rugby league debut for the Brisbane Broncos where he stayed for 6 years, playing 130 games and scoring 22 tries.
Whilst at the Broncos, Thorn won the Rookie of the Year award, his first Premiership title and also earned a call up to the Australia side to tour Great Britain. His reputation continued to grow as he was selected for the Queensland State of Origin side three times, and went on to win a further two Premiership Rings.
During this time Thorn quickly became known as a fearless rugby player, never one to back away from a challenge, and entering every contest with a desire to come out ahead.
Union side The Crusaders were first to put pen to paper when Thorn made it clear he desired a return to his homeland, New Zealand, and signed the monster lock.
Having initially declined an opportunity to represent New Zealand at 15-aside due to his uncertainty over his commitment to the code, Thorn changed his mind and went on to play as an All Black through the 2003 Rugby World Cup, including a thrilling encounter with Wales, going on to win the Tri-Nations with the Kiwis in the same year.
History was about to repeat itself however, and the All Black lock switched back to the National Rugby League in 2005, heading back to Australia and playing for the Broncos. Before his return to union in 2008, a further three State of Origin appearances and yet another Premiership Ring were added to Thorn's collection.
Far from finished with his haul of achievements, next on the checklist was winning the Super Rugby title with The Crusaders, swiftly accomplished in 2008.
In the 2008 Tri-Nations, Thorn was banned for one week after a dangerous tackle on South African forward, John Smit. The Springbok got his revenge a year later, when he blind-sided the Kiwi lock with a powerful and entirely legal hit.
A return to the national setup welcomed more Tri-Nations trophies in 2008 and 2010. His phenomenal work-rate and obvious desire to win did not go unnoticed and Thorn was a prominent feature for the All Blacks during their successful World Cup campaign of 2011.
In 2012 he joined Irish side Leinster on a three month contract, and featuring in the starting line-up for their Heineken Cup victory meant that Thorn became the first player ever to win a World Cup, a Super Rugby title and the Heineken Cup.
Having returned once again to the southern hemisphere to join the Highlanders, Thorn played his 100th Super Rugby game against the Sharks in 2013.
An unfortunate bicep injury made it seem that his stated goal of playing until he was 40 looked to be slipping away.
An extension to his career plans however saw him sign to Aviva Premiership club Leicester Tigers in late 2014, and once he finishes his season at the English based club, Thorn has announced he will retire, and lower the curtain on a truly extraordinary and impressive rugby career.
The video below shows some of Brad Thorn's highlights. Check out page 2 for another amazing video featuring Brad that was made before a Bledisloe Cup encounter last year.

Massive schoolboy hit from new Edinburgh signing Nasi Manu in 2006
Highlanders co-captain Nasi Manu signed recently for Scottish side Edinburgh, and will join them at the conclusion of the Super Rugby season in July. To go with the signing, we've pulled out this massive hit he made when just a schoolboy years back in New Zealand.
The imposing number 8 debuted for the Crusaders in 2008 at the age of 19 and played off the bench in their grand final victory that year. Manu switched over to the Highlanders in 2010 and has since become one of the franchises most consistent performers, while also amassing 71 caps for Canterbury in the ITM cup.
Injury wrote him off most of 2010 and 2013, and the Highlanders on-field performances suffered without him, 2013 in particular ending with an embarrassing 3 wins from 16 starts.
The emergence of Kieran Reed has cruelly blocked Manu from higher honours, with many considering him another victim of New Zealand's incredible breeding ground for talent.
Scottish fans will want to cool their jets though; unlike Sean Maitland, Manu does not qualify for the national side and in the past has signalled a preference to play for Tonga.
Manu's departure will leave a massive hole at the highlanders - he regularly leads the team for ball carries and tackles and captains from the front with intimidating physicality.
These are traits that have always been apparent, as this clip of Manu playing for Christchurch Boys High School in 2006 makes abundantly clear. Counter attacking from their own half Marlbrough spin the ball wide to their poor unsuspecting winger, who moments later gets absolutely crunched by a flying 17-year-old Manu.

How will the Six Nations stars fare at RWC 2015? Conor O'Shea goes through them
Former Ireland international and current Harlequins head coach Conor O'Shea recently sat down with World Rugby to discuss the Six Nations stars who will impress when the Rugby World Cup rolls into England in 162 days.
Finn Russell will apparently become "a heck of a player" for Scotland, while he was also impressed with Stuart Hogg at 15 and Jonny Gray who "is young but still a key player".
For Italy, O'Shea can't look past the "untouchable" Sergio Parisse, but he also stressed the need for a goal-kicking 10.
Morgan Parra and Francois Trinh-Duc were the French picks despite hardly featuring over the spring, while Wales' biggest issue is if tighthead prop Samson Lee can be match fit before the start of the tournament.
England was more difficult but O'Shea says the player that they need back is Manu Tuilagi, while he could have chosen a whole host of players for Ireland but "Jonny Sexton is Joe Schmidt on the pitch".
Which country can go the furthest? Apparently it's hard to look beyond England at home and Ireland form-wise, especially if the Irish can keep their key players like Sean O'Brien and Cian Healy fit. Those two to play each other in the semi-final before playing a southern hemisphere country in the final.
Is there anybody you think he missed? Who will be your country's shining light?

Latest Headlines
The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology recently awarded six teams $50,000 each to fund pilot projects that partner innovative, early-stage health IT companies with healthcare organizations to test their technologies.
Electronic health records, mobile health technologies and tools that analyze huge amounts of biomedical data are some of the building blocks of the White House's Precision Medicine Initiative, Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health, told a congressional committee last week.
The Agriculture Department dedicated about $1 billion to upgrade health IT in rural America between 2012 and 2014, the USDA and Health and Human Services Department say.
Strategic use of electronic health records can help doctors meet key preventive goals such as getting blood pressure under control for 70 percent of their hypertensive patients, according to Health and Human Services Department officials.
The federal government is ponying up $1 million in grant money for projects facilitating the exchange of health information among a comprehensive range of care and social services providers,...
The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology yesterday rolled out guidance that is meant to explain how federal laws support the exchange of health information.
A new report by an independent advisory committee supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation calls for improving data infrastructure at the local and state levels as one of many steps to improve public health.
The federal government "paid good money" for healthcare providers to adopt EHRs, and now it's time for patients to take advantage of their digitally-enabled health information, said Lucia Savage, chief privacy officer at the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT.
Two health IT matters are among the top 25 major recommendations that still remain unresolved from prior audits and evaluations, according to a recent report from the Health and Human Services Department inspector general.
Among the areas not eligible for health IT-related Medicare and Medicaid incentives are behavioral health, long-term post-acute care and dialysis, said Karen DeSalvo, national coordinator for health IT.

Product description
France's greatest food critic is dying, after a lifetime in single-minded pursuit of sensual delights. But as Pierre Arthens lies on his death bed, he is tormented by an inability to recall the most delicious food to ever pass his lips, which he ate long before becoming a critic. Desperate to taste it one more time, he looks back over the years to see if he can pin down the elusive dish. Revealing far more than his love of great food, the narration by this larger-than-life individual alternates with the voices of those closest to him and their own experiences of the man. Muriel Barbery's gifts as an evocative storyteller are put to mouth-watering use in this voluptuous and poignant meditation on food and its deeper significance in our lives. A delectable treat to savour.

By AD 25 Apr 2011
This book was clearly the first attempt that helped Muriel Barbery reach the pinnacle that was The Elegance of the Hedgehog. It has the same wonderful, evocative, lyrical language but lacks the character and plot development. It was too short and too simple. I wouldn't recommend it, but am grateful that Muriel revisited the characters and raised the bar which resulted in the wonderful 'The Elegance of the Hedgehog'.

I'm rewatching TNG right now, and want to try something new after I finish that, before starting my DS9 rewatch.
I've heard a lot about Babylon 5. Is it really similar to DS9 as space station shows? How is the acting and is it as arc heavy as what DS9 became in its later seasons? I keep hearing that B5's first season and last season were really weak, can they be skipped?
IMHO, don't bother. B5 is a plodding, shoddily acted, exercise in continuity masturbation that isn't worth anyone's time. I've tried to watch it more than once and always came to the same conclusion: all the continuity in the world doesn't amount to a cup of spit compared to real, human characters and a plausible sense of spontaneity.
How about branching out? Friday Night Lights is an excellent series that tells a very human story about family dynamics, racism and coming-of-age. It's not particularly long (5 seasons of varying lengths) and features tight writing and a riveting set of characters.
I recently started re-watching the show after debating between it and BSG. So far, I think I made the right choice.

Former NCAA and NFL great Herschel Walker has signed a multi-fight deal with Strikeforce.
The signing was first reported by AOL FanHouse, which confirmed the deal with Strikeforce executive Mike Afromowitz.
No debut date has been set for the 47-year-old former Heisman Trophy winner and two-time Pro Bowl running back, who's never competed professionally in mixed martial arts.
Herschel, a longtime martial artist and sixth-degree black belt in tae kwon do, has hinted at a possible move into MMA for the past few years. He's also been spotted at many MMA events and even was announced as part of an EliteXC/Mark Burnett reality show that never got off the ground.
Herschel wouldn't be the first NFL vet to compete in MMA, though the former Dallas Cowboy certainly would be one of the most known (and oldest). Four former NFL players were cast for the current 10th season of "The Ultimate Fighter," and others such as Michael Westbrook, Rex Richards and Herbert "Whisper" Goodman have competed in organizations across the country.
Walker's Strikeforce debut will likely come in 2010, according to the report.

Coating Materials
Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine Coatings has introduced Cor-Cote HT FF for high-temperature immersion and atmospheric applications.
Designed for tank linings and piping under insulation at both ambient and high temperatures, this epoxy novolac amine is suitable for service with gasoline, fuel oil, diesel fuel, crude oil, ethanol and other hydrocarbons.
Formulation and Features
The coating contains micaceous iron oxide (MIO) for enhanced anti-corrosion and edge protective properties, according to Sherwin-Williams. The flakes help form an impermeable barrier while increasing temperature resistance, the company says.
A high-solids (90%), chemically resistant lining, Cor-Cote HT FF is resistant up to 450° F in a dry service environment and will perform in areas subject to wet/dry cycling up to 300° F, according to the manufacturer.
Single-Coat Application
Cor-Cote HT FF is a self-priming coating, providing high build and edge retention in a single coat, eliminating the need for a second coat, the company says. It can be applied to steel, stainless steel or concrete surfaces.
"The Cor-Cote HT FF technology eases the task of petrochemical storage tank and pipeline maintenance," said Brad Rossetto, president and general manager, Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine Coatings.
"Single-coat application means that facilities are back on line in a timely manner, and high-temperature compatibility with piping under insulation provides peace of mind to owners."
Cor-Cote HT is available in three shades of gray, has a semi-gloss finish, and can be applied with airless or conventional spray. Brush or roller coating may be used for small areas. VOC levels are 140 grams per liter, or 1.2 lbs. per gallon.
Sherwin-Williams offers a complete line of high-performance coatings and systems to combat corrosion, supported by the largest group of NACE-certified coatings inspectors in the industry.

24 year old woman | Denver, CO, USA | Seeking men 23-30 within 20 miles
I aim to misbehave
I am a pseudo-native Coloradan, I grew up with the mountains and bi-polar weather. This is definitely my home, but hopefully won't be here forever since I love to travel whenever I can and take my fill of different cultures (hence the degree in international affairs). I take my time to learn new things as much as possible and love it when people can teach me things that are out of my realm of knowledge. On another note I believe that humor and the ability to laugh at yourself is essential, taking life too seriously is just too stressful in my opinion. I am generally a happy person, who is content with my life and hold steady goals for myself. However, I do enjoy company to go on adventures or stay in and watch movies/play games/general hanging out. Fair warning, I absolutely hate passive aggressiveness and clingyness. I am a blunt and straight forward person, who strongly believes in independence. I am not looking for someone to be taking care of me, just someone who can keep up and can challenge me as a person.

I love to read, so books, magazines, and newspapers fall into the favorite column. I also enjoy the simple things: good conversations, perfect weather of any season, and moments that you know can't be recreated.
On my down time when the weather is nice I try to go enjoy the awesome parks near my home, wander through museums, snuggle up in libraries, or cause trouble with my roommate. Also I tend to revel in general nerdities.
Lately it's been the material for my Series 7 exam, which is a license I need to be a full on broker.

Bryson's books are really all about Bryson. In this book he'd spout one stereotype about the British people in one chapter, and in the next chapter he'd say "Brits are so xxx" and the 'xxx' would be in direct contradiction to the previous assertion. Every time I laughed I felt guilty for doing so.
Not laugh out loud funny but an ok read, need to stop reading Bryson for a while as most others seem to find his literature funnier than i am. Enjoyable read but not great
This book is a splendid piece of work by Bryson. I read his Shakespeare biography years ago (in a Danish translation), and was smitten by the discreet wit that emanates from his writing, even in translation. So, when I stumbled upon a well-worn paperback copy of this one at a flea market, I pounced upon it, and never looked back. It is a howl of a read, a mix between a roadmovie in writing and a miniature odyssey embarked upon by a repatriated American with a distinct love for his adoptive homeland. What makes the book so poignant is that the journey he goes on is his own little "farewell tour" on the eve of him moving back to the US with his UK-born wife and children.
From the disappointing discrepancies between children's litterature and reality, through a colourful description of pre-Murdoch Fleet Street and all the way to blue-haired Corrie fans on a studio tour, Bryson takes you along on a splendid journey through the essence of Avalon. Highly recommended read!
Notes from a Small Island is Bill Bryson's autobiography in which he travels around the United Kingdom, his home for twenty years. During his voyages, Bryson lives in not-so-pleasant hostels and hotels and meets people from all walks of life. Bryson is a master storyteller, his ability to turn a phrase in unparalleled. And he injects humor into his writing, particularly when describing people.
My husband gives the book a ten. He finds Bryson's style of writing very amusing. I on the other hand didn't laugh as frequently while reading the book. The man presents himself as a bit of a narrow minded twit too much of the time. If one or two people he knows does something strange, then all people like those few must be exactly the same. If his poor planning for the weather, accommodations, travel arragements whatever result in a delayed stay or a poor night, it's the town's fault!

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0380727501, Paperback)Reacting to an itch common to Midwesterners since there's been a Midwest from which to escape, writer Bill Bryson moved from Iowa to Britain in 1973. Working for such places as Times of London, among others, he has lived quite happily there ever since. Now Bryson has decided his native country needs him--but first, he's going on a roundabout jaunt on the island he loves.
Britain fascinates Americans: it's familiar, yet alien; the same in some ways, yet so different. Bryson does an excellent job of showing his adopted home to a Yank audience, but you never get the feeling that Bryson is too much of an outsider to know the true nature of the country. Notes from a Small Island strikes a nice balance: the writing is American-silly with a British range of vocabulary. Bryson's marvelous ear is also in evidence: "... I noted the names of the little villages we passed through--Pinhead, West Stuttering, Bakelite, Ham Hocks, Sheepshanks ..." If you're an Anglophile, you'll devour Notes from a Small Island.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:24:01 -0400)
Before returning to America after spending twenty years in Britain, the author decided to tour his second home and presents a look at England's quirks and its endearing qualities.

Mercedes-Benz is planning a facelift of its SLK sports car, only this time around the car's mechanicals and styling won't be the only stuff being tweaked. Mercedes will also give the car a new name: SLC.
Midway through the last decade, Maserati built 12 track-only versions of its Ferrari Enzo-based MC12 supercar. One of these is up for sale in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and it's got a staggering price tag of $3 million.
Subaru has a seven-seat wagon on sale in Japan called the Exiga. For anyone that loathes SUVs but has a big family to cart around, the latest version, the Exiga Crossover 7, is an impressive option—only, it's limited to the Japanese market.
You'll find all of these stories and more in today's car news, right here at Motor Authority.

The CALS Horticultural Science Department hosted this year's renewal of the annual PLANET competitive training and career recruitment event that drew more than 850 college students from 65 of the nation's top horticulture and landscape programs.
Residents from across the Triangle can celebrate the return of spring in a big way at the third annual Raulston Blooms!
Forget the vernal equinox. For multitudes of gardening enthusiasts, the true first day of spring is the day of the annual Gala in the Garden at N.C. State University's JC Raulston Arboretum. This year the theme of the May 4 gala was "Celebrating North Carolina," so the emphasis was on the state's finest food, botanicals, products and people.
On Wednesday, July 10, faculty and staff are invited to N.C. State's Agroecology Education Farm from 8 a.m. until noon to tend crops that are being grown by University Dining for use in campus dining halls. When produce is harvested later this summer, it will be the first time that campus-grown produce is served in campus dining halls.
Created by students in Horticultural Science instructors Will Hooker and Anne Spafford's small-scale landscape design studio, the bamboo dragon was the studio's spring sculpture project, constructed especially for the gala.
The April 28 Gala in the Garden, the annual garden party and fund-raiser at JC Raulston Arboretum, came with cool temperatures and April showers, yet it was as magical and beautiful as ever.
Diane Silcox, a doctoral student in entomology, is one of three students nationally to receive a $5,000 post-graduate grant by the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA) as a winner of the Watson Fellowship Program.
N.C. State University's television show, In the Garden with Bryce Lane, won a regional EMMY® Award last weekend in the Instructional/Informational Series category. Bryce Lane, the show's host and instructor in the Department of Horticultural Science, brings more than 30 years of teaching experience to television.
New College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Dean Richard H. Linton joined the festivities Sept. 21 as more than 200 gardening enthusiasts and supporters of the JC Raulston Arboretum gathered for an evening of special arboretum celebrations.
"In the Garden with Bryce Lane," an award-winning TV show from N.C. State University, kicks off its 10th season Saturday, Sept. 22, at noon on UNC-TV.

Welcome to the Mellis Parish Council Website
Mellis Common
"The largest grazing common in Suffolk and fantastically flower-rich."
Areas of Mellis Common are literally strewn with wildflowers having been farmed by the common rights-holders for centuries, using traditional hay cutting and grazing. The Trust continues to manage it in the same way today to ensure the blooms and wildlife diversity remain. In summer rare plants such as green-winged orchid, sulphur clover and adder's tongue fern flourish. The abundance of small mammals also makes the site a favourite hunting ground for barn owl and tawny owl.
In stark contrast, the western end of the Common is botanically poorer due to the fact that it was ploughed and farmed more intensively during World War II. Since medieval times Mellis Common has been used as a source of clay for building, and is renowned for its ponds and wet depressions which add to the variety of plant and animal life.
Some ponds support the nationally rare great-crested newt.
Management is underway to improve habitats that have declined over the years. Old pollarded trees and overgrown hedges have been cut to prolong their life and silted-up and overgrown ponds have been dredged to boost their wildlife value.
Mellis Common was generously donated by Lord Henniker to Suffolk Wildlife Trust in 1989. Part of the Common is privately owned.
