‘Let Me Finish!’: Rudy Giuliani and Mark Cuban Blow Up in Insane CNN Debate
4:40 PM PDT 10/19/2016 by Jackie Strause
Rudy Giulianiand Mark Cuban are going head to head on debate night.
Ahead of the third and final presidential debate Wednesday night, the former New York City mayor and Donald Trump surrogate appeared on CNN with the Dallas Mavericks owner and Hillary Clinton supporter. The pre-debate between the two "outspoken men" was introduced by CNN"s Erin Burnettas "perhaps the best debate you will see the entire campaign."
Giulianiquickly went after Clinton"s emails."Everything you"ve just said about Hillary Clinton is 100 percent incorrect," said Cuban minutes into the televised sit-down, kicking off the hyped "debate before the debate."
When pressed about Trump"s temperament, Giuliani fired back about Clinton: "She"s been there forever and she"s gotten nothing done."
Breaking down the candidates, Giuliani said:"What he"s going to have to do is prove that he is fit to be president, and that because of the FBI finding her extremely careless in the use of national security information, not only isn"t she fit to be president, I couldn"t hire her as assistant U.S. district attorney."
When asked about the sexual assault allegations lodged against Trump, Giulianisaid the accusers are using a script, "groping, groping, groping," and spoke for Trump, saying "he believes it is untrue." Calling the GOP nominee a "gentlemen" with women, he said Trump "is justifiably upset about the allegations against him."
I know men who are touchy-feely," he said. "Donald Trump is not one of them.
In addition to the nine women who have come forward against Trump since the leaked Access Hollywood tape, Cuban said he knows two additional women who won"t come forward. In one instance, Cuban said Trump allegedly walked into a massage room and hit on a woman, and in another, Trump allegedly made a rude comment in an elevator. One story came second-hand to Cuban, and another came direct from the accuser.
When Trump makes mistakes, "he never owns it," said Cuban.When Giuliani said Trump owned up to the tape, Cuban fought back: "How could you disavow a tape?"
Giuliani then took a page out of Trump"s playbook by bringing up Bill Clinton"s past indiscretions:"Clinton should have been thrown out of office."
"He is not running," shot back Cuban. "So now we"re going to question Melania, Mrs. Trump, and how she dealt with it? We shouldn"t judge her for dealing with a difficult situation any more than we should judge Hillary Clinton for how she handled it."
Giulianieven brought up Bill Clinton"s "illegitimate children," which Cuban pointed out was discredited. He then criticizedGiuliani for saying he refuses to operate underhypotheticals only when it comes to Trump.
The pair will return to continue their debate at 9 p.m. ET on CNN.

Overwatch - Has Sombra Hacked Bastion? ARG Latest News!
Blizzard has announced the inclusion of Overwatch hero D.Va as an announcer in Starcraft 2. (PlayOverwatch/YouTube)
For the fans of Overwatchand hero D.Va, you"re in for a treat. Blizzard is taking the mech-riding, badass lady to Starcraft 2as an announcer. And when people think that things couldn"t get any better, the Sombra hype just snowballs. It seems the whole community is just hours away from acquiring the new character.
According to Eurogamer, the aforementioned Overwatchhero is making her way to Starcraft 2, also a title developed by Blizzard. D.Va, known for his "Nerf this!" line is bringing her voice to S2as an announcer. It"s worth noting that this will be the very first hero (or character in a sense) outside of the franchise"s canon to ever make an appearance in-game. And yes, despite her being an announcer.
In an announcementmade by the studio, the Overwatchhero is deemed as a 16-year-old eSports prodigy. Her solid Starcraft experience in the scene is what makes her "uniquely qualified" to support players in-game. Heck, she"s even considered as the number one ranked player at a very young age.
D.Va, equipped with the same tone and cuteness she has in Overwatch, will deliver the lines such as "Your base is under attack!" Fans can also hear her say "Nuke"s ready, nerf this!" or "Warp in complete. Boom!" Players can check the full list in the above mentioned announcement.
In related Overwatchnews, it seems Sombra is only a matter of time before she lands her on the game. As noted here at iTech Post, a controversial site seems to suggest that the said hero is only hours away from existing. As of this writing, her progress is at 99.0377% with a completion of just 20 hours, 41 minutes.
Of course, one can say that this might not really refer to the Overwatchhero. But really, who knows? Besides, Sombra"s logo can be seen on the top-middle part of the site. This, in one way or another, could mean a thing or two.
What are your thoughts on the Overwatchhero D. Va getting a shot at Starcraft 2? How about the supposed forthcoming hero Sombra? Any expectations? Share us your answers by using the comment section below!

Leicester City "keeper Kasper Schmeichel celebrates his team"s win against FC Copenhagen
Leicester City have struggled in the Premier League so far this season, but they maintained their perfect Champions League record by beating FC Copenhagen 1-0 on Tuesday and are now just one win away from reaching the knockout phase of Europe"s premier club competition.
Leicester"s third straight Champions League victory, including a third clean sheet in a row, guarantees Claudio Ranieri"s side at least a spot in February"s Europa League round of 32 - but they will be setting their sights much higher.
The Foxes currently top Group G with nine points, five more than both FC Copenhagen - to whom they travel on matchday four - and FC Porto.
Ranieri"s side havebecome only the fifth Champions League debutantsto win their first three games and just the third debut side - after Parma and Malaga - to keep three clean sheets in their opening three matches in the competition.
Mahrez has now been involved in more Champions League goals this season than Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo
In total, 64 clubs have previously won their first three group fixtures - and Ranieri will be pleased to know thatall have progressed to the round of 16.
If Ranieri needs further inspiration, plenty of newcomers to the competition have gone even further; Tottenham, Lazio and Bayer Leverkusen have all reached the quarter-finals, while Villarreal powered to the semis in 2005/6.
Riyad Mahrez was Leicester"s match winner at the King Power on Tuesday evening, meaning the Algeria international has been directly involved in four of the Champions League debutants" five goals in the competition this campaign.
Mahrez has even scored one more goal than Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo -the competition"sall-time record goalscorer -has this season.

The Foxes incrediblyhave more points in Europethanthe Premier League this season, despite playing five fewer games, sowhat"s behind the difference in Leicester"s fortunes domestically and abroad?
In the Champions League, Ranieri"s men have been more clinical in front of goal, scoring five timesin three contests, compared to an average of one goal a game in the league. And that"s despite actually having two fewer shots on average per game.

Matan a juez que suspendió extradición de "El Chapo", Prohíben disfraces de policía; EN SÍNTESI
The northwest Mexican state of Sinaloa where cartel boss Joaqun "El Chapo" Guzmn was born and lived has become a focal point of the country"s growing production of synthetic drugs like methamphetamine.
Parts of Sinaloa state, along with areas of Chihuahua and Durango states, make up Mexico"s "Golden Triangle," an area so-named for intense marijuana and opium cultivation that also take place there.
And the recent rise in synthetic-drug production indicates the continued expansion of Mexican criminal organizations" presence in the drug trade, likely driven by changing drug-consumption habits in the US.
Drug laboratories discovered in Sinaloa, around the state capital of Culiacan in particular, appear set to double in two years, according to details shared by Rogelio Tern Contreras, commander of the local military zone.
In 2014, 47 labs were discovered, followed by 80 in 2015. Thus far in 2015, authorities have come across 55 such labs, according to official statistics cited by El Universal and noted by Insight Crime.
Since the end of June, Mexican troops have discovered a suspected synthetic-drug lab near Cosal in Sinaloa, a suspected lab in Culiacan, and another lab about 30 miles outside of Culiacan.
"The principal problem in the jurisdiction is organized crime ...," Tern Contreras told El Universal. "The units of the ninth military zone are bound for, practically, the eradication of the ... aspects of of organized crime."

"Mexican traffickers have achieved this booming meth production by adapting their labs, switching recipes, and finding new sources of precursor ingredients," journalist Ioan Grillo reported in early 2015.
Mexico"s Pacific coast, on which Sinaloa sits, has long been a major production and transit point for drugs, and that dynamic has continued with the growth of synthetic-drug production. Sinaloa and Guerrero state, farther south, are known to be hubs for opium and heroin production.
Sinaloa and Michoacan, another state on coast, have now become the sites of superlabs for synthetic-drug production. A report earlier this year from the International Narcotics Control Board found that 131 such labs were dismantled in 2014, the majority of them located in Guerrero, Sinaloa, and Michoacan.
"As well as running some big labs, the crime syndicates now often cook meth known here as "hielo" (ice) in clusters of small labs scattered over hills and valleys," Grillo reported in January 2015. "Traffickers with capital buy raw ingredients in bulk, then subcontract producers ... to do the dirty work."

One such producer who spoke with Grillo said the workers who cook the meth will set up makeshift labs of plastic barrels and generators in secluded areas, packing the final product into plastic containers.
Ports up and down the Pacific shore are believed to be arrival points for the precursor chemicals needed to make synthetic drugs and departure points for the finished product. According to the INCB report, Mexico is a source country for crystal meth found in East and Southeast Asia and throughout Oceania regions no doubt served by shipments from Mexico"s western coast.
"Historically the states of Sinaloa, Colima, to a lesser extent Nayarit, but also Guerrero ... historically maritime smuggling in these areas has always been important," David Shirk, a professor at the University of San Diego, told Business Insider this summer. "And the physical infrastructure and transportation infrastructure from the coast to the center of Mexico, to Mexico City importantly, is vital to all kind of trade, including illicit trade."

Competition over ports in this area has driven up violence, particularly in Guerrero and Colima states, both of which currently have homicide rates many times higher than the national average.
Two major cartels, the Jalisco New Generation cartel and Guzmn"s Sinaloa cartel, are suspected of causing most of that violence. Those two organizations, along with various other regional criminal groups, are believed to be clashing up and down Mexico"s west coast, including in Guerrero state (Acapulco in particular), Colima state, and in both Baja California Sur and Baja California, especially in Tijuana.
The Jalisco and Sinaloa cartel are believed to dominate the crystal-meth market in the US, with the Jalisco group gaining a boost from local expertise and from knowledge it took with it when it split from Sinaloa in about 2010.
"They have a Ph.D. in drug trafficking thanks to the education provided by the Sinaloa cartel and other cartels," Mike Vigil, a former chief of international operations for the US Drug Enforcement Administration, told Reuters of the Jalisco cartel.

The proliferation of drug laboratories has created a significant strain on Mexican authorities" resources.
Investigative work and the dismantling of each lab can cost the Mexican attorney general"s office about $50,000 to $100,000, and the manpower needed to take apart the labs pulls soldiers away from other duties for as long as three months. This distraction comes as production of other drugs in Sinaloa appears to be rising, too, with 5,300 poppy plantations seized so far this year, up from 1,070 seized during 2014.
As noted by Insight Crime, Mexican criminal organizations operating in these areas have likely intensified production of opium and synthetic drugs to compensate for falling revenue from marijuana, demand for which is believed to have fallen with the spread of legal marijuana in the US.
"Methamphetamine in the United States originates primarily from clandestine laboratories in Mexico and is smuggled across the Southwest Border," the US Drug Enforcement Administration noted in its 2015 National Drug Threat Assessment.

"Methamphetamine availability will continue to increase as Mexican TCOs have adapted to restrictions placed on precursor chemicals and are able to continue producing large amounts of high-purity, high-potency methamphetamine," the DEA added.
"The increase in heroin abuse in the US is creating a significant surge of opium and heroin production by criminal groups in Mexico," Vigil told Business Insider earlier this year.
Bayer Leverkusen vs. Tottenham Hotspur | 2016-17 UEFA Champions League Highlights
Real Madrid moved into a commanding position in Group F by cruising to a 5-1 home victory against Legia Warsaw.
Gareth Bale scored his first European goal since December 2014 to give the Champions League holders the lead in the 16th minute with a curled left-foot drive and an own goal by Legias Tomasz Jodlowiec, deflecting in Marcelos shot, doubled their advantage.
Miroslav Radovic pulled one back from the penalty spot but Marco Asensio made it 3-1 in the 37th minute with a low shot on his Champions League debut.
The substitute Lucas Vzquez volleyed home a cross in the 68th minute and the former Juventus striker lvaro Morata rounded off the win by converting a pass from Cristiano Ronaldo, who is still waiting for his 100th goal in Uefa competitions, six minutes from time.
Real are second in their group, however, behind Borussia Dortmund who overcame Sporting 2-1 thanks to superb first-half goals by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Julian Weigl. Bruno Csar pulled the Portuguese league runners-up back into the game when an indirect free-kick was back-heeled to him midway through the second half but Borussia held on for a valuable away win.
Elsewhere, the second-half substitute Juan Cuadrado earned 10-man Juventus a 1-0 win at Lyon after Gianluigi Buffon pulled off a couple of superb saves to keep the Serie A leaders afloat. Cuadrado netted the only goal in the 76th minute, seven minutes after replacing Paulo Dybala as Juve were down to 10 men following Mario Leminas sending-off nine minutes into the second half. The Italy keeper Buffon, who made a rare gaffe in the 1-1 World Cup qualifier draw against Spain earlier this month, saved Alexandre Lacazettes 35th-minute penalty and made a couple of decisive saves before Cuadrado struck the winner.
Sevilla are level on points with Juve in Group H after a first-half goal by Samir Nasri gave the Spanish side a 1-0 win at the Croatian title holders, Dinamo Zagreb.
Sevilla missed a string of chances on a slippery surface either side of Nasris clinical 37th-minute finish, when he poked the ball home from a tight angle after a low cross by Mariano Ferreira to leave Dinamo as the only side of 32 teams in the competition yet to score a goal.
Monaco remain top of the increasingly tight Group E after coming from behind to secure a 1-1 draw with CSKA Moscow. Lacina Traor opened the scoring for CSKA against his parent club but Bernardo Silva grabbed the equaliser late on. Monaco currently have five points with Tottenham on four following their goalless draw at Bayer Leverkusen, who sit third with three points.
And Andr Silvas injury-time penalty sealed a 2-1 for Porto at Club Brugge. Jelle Vossen latched on to a rebound to put Brugge ahead but the Mexican defen`der Miguel Layn levelled with a long-range effort before Silva converted after Jess Corona had been brought down. Porto move to four points, level with FC Copenhagen, who are also five points behind Leicester City after losing 1-0 at the King Power Stadium.
