  2. Bob Cowper dies aged 84 as *********** cricket mourns death of another great Bob Cowper dies aged 84 as *********** cricket mourns death of another great *********** cricket is mourning the loss of another great after Bob Cowper died aged 84 following a ******* battle. The Victorian played 27 Tests and averaged 46.84, scoring five tons, while playing alongside the likes of Bob Simpson, Doug Walters, Ian Chappell and Bill Lawry. Cowper’s famous 307 across an astonishing 12 hours in the 1965-66 MCG Ashes Test was the first triple-century scored on *********** soil. He also took 36 wickets at an average of 31.63 — but would not play a single Test match after the age of 27. He retired for good before turning 30, finishing on a high with Victoria’s Sheffield Shield triumph in 1970 and turning his focus to business. Cowper is the third 1970s Victorian great and *********** Test cricketer to die in the past six months. Ian Redpath died aged 83 late last year while Keith Stackpole died at 84 last month. Cowper is survived by wife Dale and daughters Olivia and Sera. “R.I.P Bob Cowper. Good man. Lived like an amateur, played like a pro,” Test veteran turned popular commentator Kerry O’Keeffe said. Camera IconBob Cowper played 27 Tests for Australia. Credit: Central Press/Getty Images A Victorian Cricket Hall of Famer and life member, Cowper had a lucrative post-cricket career as a stockbroker and merchant banker. But he was not lost to his sport. Cowper was a match referee and Australia’s representative to the ICC from 1987 to 2001. He was recognised with a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in 2023.

  6. Record-breaking heat scorches San Diego County as cooldown looms Record-breaking heat scorches San Diego County as cooldown looms SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — It’s hot in San Diego — at least for now. On Saturday, the county was poised to be almost 25 degrees above average recorded on the date in years past, with some parts hitting record-breaking temperatures. Much of East County was approaching — or had already surpassed — triple digits as of 1 p.m., according to the National Weather Service, setting the ceiling for the hottest temperatures seen this year so far. Areas like Santee, Valley Center, Borrego Springs and Rancho San Diego all had breeched 100 degrees by the afternoon, with El Cajon, Escondido, Poway, San Marcos and Spring Valley following close behind in the mid to upper 90s. More weather: Forecast | Alerts | Live Radar | Newsletter For some parts like Ramona, which reached about 100 degrees just before 2 p.m., the heat set a new NWS for this date. The previous record high on May 10 was 91 degrees, set back in 1981. These scorching daytime temperatures in inland valley areas prompted NWS to issue a heat advisory midday Saturday due to moderate to major risk for heat-related illness. The advisory will remain in effect until 9 p.m. Parts of the coast were much cooler than areas further inland, but were still hotter than usual for this time of year — a reprieve from the “May Gray” drizzle and incessant marine layer. As of 1 p.m., high temperatures observed along the coast ranged from the upper 60s to 70s. High temperatures in San Diego County on May 10, 2025. (National Weather Service) Average high temperatures in San Diego County for May 10. (National Weather Service) However, this summer weather is expected to be relatively short-lived, as a shortwave trough is expected to deepen over the region Sunday into next week, according to NWS. Cloud cover, winds and closer-to-seasonal-averages will return before falling even further by Tuesday. Eyes itching? Sneezing more? It could be due to rising pollen levels Outside San Diego County, further north into the Inland Empire, highs are only expected to top out in the 60s during this time, according to forecasters. By Wednesday, a gradual warm-up will begin again, but it will not get quite as hot. With the heat, NWS officials advise people to limit time outdoors or doing strenuous activities and to remain hydrated. If possible, it is recommended to stay inside in an air conditioned room. Officials also urge people to watch for the signs of heat exhaustion or stroke, such as high body temperature, changes to skin, a fast and strong pulse, headache, dizziness, nausea, confusion and loss of consciousness.

  10. Prince Harry: Duke of Sussex spotted knocking on random doors in London before claiming security ‘stitch-up’ Prince Harry: Duke of Sussex spotted knocking on random doors in London before claiming security ‘stitch-up’ In one of the strongest and most embarrassing signs that Prince Harry’s recent outbursts are wide of the mark, the Duke of Sussex has been spotted wandering a London street knocking on doors with no security concerns. The Prince launched a stunning attack on King Charles and the *** legal system after his bid to have government funded security for his family when they are in the *** reinstated failed, saying his father and brother were somehow involed in a “stitch-up”. After using death threats and security issues as the foundation of his argument for the protection amendment, the Prince was spotted on front door cameras and within the street, reportedly searching for a friend’s house. The Daily Mail reports the Duke was seen outside a stranger’s house, using his mobile phone in a bid to locate the residence John and Georgina Vaughan, thought to be old friends. Property investor Mr Vaughan, in his mid 40s, comes from a long-established aristocratic family who have owned Courtfield Estate, Herefordshire since the 16th Century. Mr Vaughan’s wife Georgina is an artist. Incredibly the Prince had failed to phone ahead and the residence, once occupied by the Vaughan’s, is now a rental leased by a Spanish family. One resident said they thought Harry “was trying to remember either the parents or his friend who lived at the top of the road.” “The people he knew have long gone and moved elsewhere.” “I think he got the numbers muddled up. I wondered what he was doing wandering around our street. “If he’d knocked on my door, I would have invited him in and said ‘I can give you all the information you need’. But he didn’t knock on my door, and I just feel very sorry for him.” In a further pointer to the Prince’s ability to move freely within his native Landon, the local added: “A pub run by a friend of his is close by – I suppose he just walked from there to here.” “He has been seen in the area before. He used to drink at a pub down the road from here,” another resident of the street told the Daily Mail. “He was looking for a friend who used to live in this road and now they rent the house out to people from overseas. They’ve rented it out, they’ve moved away and that’s all I will say.” Prince Harry feels he had been ‘singled out for’ unjustified, inferior treatment’ since he and his wife Meghan Markle stepped back as working royals five years ago, the security trial previously heard. His barrister also argued that the removal of Met Police armed bodyguards when he is in the *** has left the royal’s life ‘at stake’. “The conditions of my security were not based on threat, risk and impact, they were made based on my role – one that my wife and I wanted to maintain but was ultimately refused,” the Prince told the court.. “This all comes from the same institutions that preyed upon my mother, that openly campaigned for the removal of our security, and continue to incite hatred towards me, my wife and even our children.” “I’ve been treated differently to everybody else that exists, I have been singled out,’ he told the BBC following the Court of Appeal ruling.

Credit: Stratolaunch Stratolaunch released a new video documenting the completion of its second hypersonic flight and full recovery of its Talon-A2 autonomous vehicle, showing off the capabilities of this sleek reusable hypersonic aircraft. This successful follow-up mission, recently undertaken on March 24 of this year, follows in the wake of the Talon-A2 vehicle’s initial first hypersonic flight and runway recovery back on Dec. 20, 2024. The Talon-A2 is an advanced air-launch plane lifted aloft by a gigantic dual-fuselage aircraft designed by Scaled Composites with a world-leading 385-foot (117 meters) wingspan and nicknamed “Roc.” When positioned and deployed at altitude over 20,000 feet, the dart-shaped hypersonic marvel is dropped from Roc’s center wing pylon before its Ursa Major Hadley rocket engine comes alive to propel it to Mach 5 and beyond. Stratolaunch’s beautiful Talon-A2 reusable hypersonic aircraft | Credit: Stratolaunch “With the data collected from this second flight, we are able to apply lessons learned to enhance the strength and performance of the Talon-A vehicles,” said Dr. Zachary Krevor, President and CEO of Stratolaunch in a statement. “While the team needs to complete its data review of flight two, the first flight review confirmed the robustness of the Talon-A design while demonstrating the ability to meet the full range of performance capabilities desired by our customers.” RELATED STORIES: — Stratolaunch’s Talon-A2 prototype goes hypersonic after dropping from world’s largest airplane (photos) — Stratolaunch launches 1st rocket-powered flight of hypersonic prototype from world’s largest airplane — Stratolaunch flies world’s largest airplane on 2nd test flight After a controlled altitude climb, the Talon-A2 glided back down to Earth for a silky-smooth touchdown and payload recovery at California’s Vandenberg Space Force Base, as seen in this video linking Stratolaunch’s vision back to the pioneering days of the U.S. Air Force and NASA’s legendary X-15 rocket plane program of the late 1950s and 1960s. Both December’s and March’s flights packed payloads and Department of Defense experiments. These thrilling missions mark America’s first return to reusable hypersonic flight testing since that manned X-15 program ended in 1968. Stratolaunch is a revolutionary air-launch enterprise founded back in 2011 by the late Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. Cerberus Capital Management formally purchased Stratolaunch back in 2018, transferring its headquarters from Seattle, Washington to Mohave Air and Space Port in California with an emphasis on evolving and operating world-class hypersonic aerospace craft. Stratolaunch’s “Roc” with a Talon prototype rocket aircraft tucked under its wing | Credit: Stratolaunch A second launch platform is currently being developed using a Boeing 747-400 once owned by the now-defunct Virgin Orbit and now renamed “Spirit of Mojave.” This updated aircraft will provide a more convenient, compact carrier than the mighty “Roc” for future flights and testing of the next generation of Stratolaunch vehicle dubbed the Talon-A3, which should be ready to fly sometime in late 2025. Stratoluanch previously tested the single-use prototype Talon-A1 on March 9, 2024, which was not equipped with landing gear and executed a perfect ocean splashdown.

  21. John Elway’s Friend Jeff Sperbeck’s Cause of Death Revealed: Report John Elway’s Friend Jeff Sperbeck’s Cause of Death Revealed: Report Jeff Sperbeck’s cause of death has been revealed. The longtime agent and friend of NFL legend John Elway reportedly died of blunt head trauma, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office told TMZ on Friday, May 9. His death has been ruled an accident. Elway, 64, was driving a golf cart carrying Sperbeck, 62, when the agent fell from the cart and suffered traumatic head injuries. The accident occurred at the Madison Club in La Quinta, California on April 26 and Sperbeck died four days later. “I am absolutely devastated and heartbroken by the passing of my close friend, business partner and agent Jeff Sperbeck,” Elway said in a statement on April 30. “There are no words to truly express the profound sadness I feel with the sudden loss of someone who has meant so much to me.” John Elway’s Sister Died Less Than 1 Month Before Golf Cart Accident Killed His Friend Jeff Sperbeck “My heart and deepest sympathies go out to Jeff’s wife, Cori; his children Carly, Sam and Jackson; and everyone who knew and loved him,” the statement continued. “Jeff will be deeply missed for the loyalty, wisdom, friendship and love he brought into my life and the lives of so many others.” Sperbeck’s family also released a statement expressing their sadness and thanking the community for its support. John Elway Katelyn Mulcahy “He was a wonderful father, husband, brother, son and friend to many and will be profoundly missed by all,” the statement read. “We are grieving this unimaginable loss as a family alongside our dearest friends the Elways and the many other clients Jeff called friends. We are grateful for the overwhelming outpouring of support that we have received and ask for privacy for our family at this difficult time.” While law enforcement initially opened an investigation in the days after Sperbeck’s death, Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco subsequently told The Denver Post that “nothing that we have found” to indicate law enforcement needed to be involved. Johnny Bananas Shares Video of Golf Cart Ride Amid Reports He Was Present During John Elway’s ****** “Unfortunately for all of those involved, one of the people – well, a couple of them – happen to be very high-profile celebrities,” Bianco told the outlet on Friday, May 2. “And that makes this more of an issue than it probably should be.” In addition to Sperbeck, Elway was transporting his girlfriend, Sperbeck’s wife, Cori, and The Challenge legend Johnny Bananas. Sources told CBS that there was “no swerving or horseplay” and “no one was drunk.” Elway called 911 after the accident and when paramedics arrived, Sperbeck was reportedly still breathing. He was transported to a hospital and placed on life support before he succumbed to his injuries. Elway’s professional relationship with Sperbeck dates back to 1990, seven years into the quarterback’s NFL career.
