Barcelona was minutes away from a win to pad its league lead after Raphinha and Lewandowski had put Barcelona in control. But the game dramatically swung after Barcelona defensive midfielder Marc Casadó was sent off with a second booking in the 81st. Moments later Jules Koundé’s poor control of a ball in his area allowed Alfon González to pick his pocket and give the hosts hope in the 84th minute. Celta poured forward at Balaidos Stadium and Hugo Álvarez rifled in the 86th-minute equalizer with Barcelona unable to mark the extra man. AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer

The Ontario Provincial Police has launched a new initiative to help protect people from global cryptocurrency fraud. Project Atlas, an initiative of the OPP’s Cyber-Enabled Fraud Team, has a focus of disrupting organized fraud, supporting victims in the recovery of stolen funds and educating the public about cryptocurrency investment scams. In 2023, a total of $309.4 million in investment fraud was reported to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre. A majority of that was crypto fraud, said Det.-Const. John Armit, a member of the OPP Anti-Rackets Branch. “We know that many of our fraudsters who are committing these frauds are attached to global organized groups,” he said in a launch event that was . The Cyber-Enabled Fraud Team was established in 2023 to investigate and prevent digital technology-based fraud, including cryptocurrency fraud and phishing, to protect people and businesses from cyber-related financial loss. As part of Project Atlas, the specialized OPP team will work with anti-fraud and other law enforcement partners to help make it safer for people to take part in digital currency markets. Cryptocurrency is a digital or virtual currency, with bitcoin being a well-known and early form of such currency, with people having the ability to buy or exchange tokens or currency though digital accounts. The OPP says cryptocurrency investment fraudsters will trick people into putting their money into fake crypto accounts. People might see ads on social media, dating apps or search engines, promising quick profits. Victims may start with small investments and fraudsters may then suggest to the person to download a trading app or set up a cryptocurrency wallet. Fraudsters may also use an approval phishing tactic, whereby they seek permission to move the victim’s tokens on their behalf. Eventually, however, victims find they can’t access or withdraw their funds, the OPP says. Armit said the OPP is not trying to dissuade people from trading cryptocurrency, but to make people aware of some of the risks involved. The OPP says investigators may reach out to victims or to people who may have information that may be helpful to an investigation with proactive calls either by phone or email. The OPP says the purpose of proactive calls is to support in cryptocurrency recovery efforts for the victim or to support the prosecution of offenders. Det.-Sgt. Lynn Danis, lead investigator with the team, says the OPP can’t promise funds will be recovered, but it is one of the team’s aims. The team can also provide some education to victims, such as teaching them how to revoke permissions to help prevent them from being victimized another time. The project will also be raising public awareness. Project Atlas has various resources to help protect people from fraud and what to do if they are a victim of fraud. An important part of preventing fraud, Amrit said, is police need victims to report it. “In order to disrupt these acts and activities of these criminals worldwide, it’s really essential that victims or attempted victims come forward and report their fraud to law enforcement and to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre,” he said. He said when people come forward, their testimonials help police understand the emerging trends, which can then help law enforcement to stop them. More information is available at .

Australian Open 2011 – Djokovic Murray turned in a poor performance in Melbourne, failing at the third attempt to win a set in a Grand Slam final as Djokovic broke serve seven times and hit six aces to claim a comprehensive win 6-4 6-2 6-3. “You had an unbelievable tournament and deserved to win,” the Scot said in reference to his opponent. “I look forward to playing against you in the future.” US Open 2012 – Murray It took five sets for Murray to claim his first Grand Slam title, becoming the first British man to achieve the feat since Fred Perry in 1936. The final clocked in at four hours and 54 minutes as Murray prevailed 7-6 (10) 7-5 2-6 3-6 6-2 to end a wait of 287 tournaments in British male tennis for a victory. “I want to congratulate Andy on his first grand slam, he thoroughly deserves it,” said Djokovic. “I really tried my best. I gave it my all. It was a tremendous match.” Australian Open 2013 – Djokovic Congrats . Incredible athlete. Perfect gentleman. — judy murray (@JudyMurray) Murray was dogged by injury in Melbourne with a heavily strapped right foot and a tight hamstring as Djokovic fought back from a set down to land a third consecutive Australian Open title, 6-7 (2) 7-6 (3) 6-3 6-2. “His record here is incredible,” said Murray. ”Very few people have managed to do what he has done, a deserved champion.” Wimbledon 2013 – Murray Murray ended a 77-year wait for a British men’s victory at Wimbledon by defeating his old foe 6-4, 7-5, 6-4 in SW19, serving emphatically with nine aces and only two double faults to throw off the weight of history. The Scot had been 4-1 down in the second set as the match threatened to slip away from him and with it the chance to cement his place in tennis folklore, but having wasted three championship points he finally sealed the deal when Djokovic drove into the net with his final shot. Australian Open 2015 – Djokovic Djokovic triumphed 7-6 (5) 6-7 (4) 6-3 6-0 and after the 24 matches and five grand slam finals the pair had played against each other across nine years, the Serb had established a 16-8 overall lead and 3-2 in slam finals. “Success is being happy,” said Murray. “It’s not about winning every single tournament you play, because that isn’t possible.” Australian Open 2016 – Djokovic What a journey. Really grateful for everything. I'll keep working hard. Love is the key! — Novak Djokovic (@DjokerNole) The Serb landed a fourth win over Murray in Australian Open finals and his 11th in 12 matches to land his 11th major title, whilst the Scot made it five consecutive final losses in Melbourne, a new record in the Open era. “I feel like I’ve been here before,” said Murray after a 6-1 7-5 7-6 (3) loss. “Congratulations Novak, six Australian Opens, an incredible feat, and incredible consistency the last year.” French Open 2016 – Djokovic "This is something that’s so rare in tennis... it’s gonna take a long time for it to happen again" Andy to Novak ❤️ — Roland-Garros (@rolandgarros) This was Murray’s first final at Roland Garros but it brought a familiar conclusion as Djokovic triumphed against him for the fifth time in seven Grand Slam finals. The 3-6 6-1 6-2 6-4 success was a first win for the Serb in Paris and saw him hold all four slams simultaneously. Murray went on to win Wimbledon the following month and was voted BBC Sports Personality of the Year but, addressing Djokovic in Paris, said: “This is his day today. What he’s achieved the last 12 months is phenomenal, winning all four of the grand slams in one year is an amazing achievement.”
Akhil Gogoi urges regional forces to unite against BJP, cites Jharkhand's political successOwen McCown completed 23 of 30 passes for 254 yards and UTSA rolled up 257 yards on the ground in a 44-15 demolition of Coastal Carolina to win the Myrtle Beach Bowl on Monday in Conway, S.C. Will Henderson III led the rushing attack with 81 yards and a touchdown on five carries. McCown added a 35-yard rushing touchdown while throwing one TD and one interception for the Roadrunners (7-6), who won a bowl game for the second straight year. Chris Carpenter ripped off a 93-yard kick return touchdown for UTSA to seal the deal. Tad Hudson went 17-for-26 passing for 173 yards and two fourth-quarter touchdowns for Coastal Carolina (6-7), which was playing in the bowl game hosted on its campus for the first time. Hudson made his first collegiate start after quarterbacks Ethan Vasko and Noah Kim entered the transfer portal. On the first play of the fourth quarter, Hudson sailed a pass to a wide-open Bryson Graves for a 50-yard score that finally put the Chanticleers on the board, cutting the margin to 27-7. But on the ensuing kickoff, Carpenter started to his left, veered right and had nothing but daylight for his third career kick return touchdown. With Coastal trailing 37-7, Hudson hit Senika McKie for a 9-yard TD and completed a two-point conversion pass to Brooks Johnson with 4:43 to go. UTSA responded again, as on the next play from scrimmage Henderson broke off a 51-yard sprint to the end zone. The Chanticleers and Roadrunners combined for 20 penalties -- with 10 calls for unsportsmanlike conduct, including for celebrations after scoring plays. "I didn't see any negative energy from the Roadrunners, bro," UTSA coach Jeff Traylor told the Myrtle Beach Sun News postgame. "We were just getting after it. If you don't like that, man, (you) probably shouldn't come watch the Roadrunners play." Meanwhile, Chanticleers coach Tim Beck tipped his hat to the opponent while praising his guys' effort. "I thought the guys played hard out there and it just wasn't our day," Beck said. "They stayed, they believed and they kept trying to fight the best they could." In the first minute of the second quarter, UTSA running back Brandon High got help from his linemen on a 9-yard touchdown push. On the Roadrunners' next drive, McCown kept the ball on an option and chugged down the right sideline, scoring just his third rushing touchdown of the season. UTSA ripped off runs of 19 and 16 yards on its following possession, which lasted just 1:04. Using play-action, McCown tossed a 6-yard touchdown to a wide-open Patrick Overmyer for a 21-0 lead. Before halftime, Coastal Carolina marched down to UTSA's 4-yard line, but on a would-be halfback pass on fourth-and-goal, the Roadrunners disrupted the play and kept Braydon Bennett out of the end zone. UTSA's Tate Sandell made field goals from 38 and 27 yards to account for the third-quarter scoring. He kicked a 29-yarder during the fourth. --Field Level Media
