NBA suspends three players involved in altercation between Mavericks and Suns | CNNNEW YORK — A federal judge is signaling Rudy Giuliani’s contempt hearing next Friday might not end so well for the former New York City mayor and onetime personal lawyer for President-elect Donald Trump as two Georgia election poll workers try to collect a $148 million defamation award they won against him. Judge Lewis J. Liman in Manhattan issued an order Friday in which he was dismissive of what he described as attempts by Giuliani and his lawyer to dodge providing information to the election workers’ lawyers. And he said the litigants should be ready at the contempt hearing to explain why he should not grant a request by lawyers for the two election workers that he make adverse inferences from evidence in the case that would put Giuliani’s Palm Beach, Fla., condominium in danger of being surrendered to satisfy the defamation award. The judge also said he might rule on the contempt request at the hearing. Giuliani has maintained the Palm Beach property is his personal residence and should be shielded from the judgment. He faces a Jan. 16 trial before Liman over the disposition of his Florida residence and World Series rings. Lawyers for the election workers filed the contempt request after saying Giuliani had failed to turn over a lease to his Manhattan apartment, a Mercedes, various watches and jewelry, a signed Joe DiMaggio shirt and other baseball momentos. The judge ordered Giuliani to turn over the items in October. A request for comment was sent to a lawyer for Giuliani, who was supposed to be deposed Friday. In October, Liman ordered Giuliani to turn over many of his prized possessions to the poll workers. Giuliani’s lawyers have predicted Giuliani will eventually win custody of the items on appeal. The contempt hearing follows a contentious November hearing in which Giuliani, a former federal prosecutor, became angry at the judge and said Liman was treating him unfairly. Giuliani was found liable last year for defaming the two Georgia poll workers by falsely accusing them of tampering with ballots during the 2020 presidential election. The women said they faced death threats after Giuliani falsely claimed they sneaked in ballots in suitcases, counted ballots multiple times and tampered with voting machines.The Rise Of Populism

Dear Heloise: Don’t forget to stock up on batteries for Christmas. Most gifts that require batteries don’t have them included. You want to be sure that folks will be able to use the item as soon as they unwrap it. This is especially important for children’s gifts. — Carolyn M., in Canaan, Connecticut Dear Heloise: Touchscreens have transitioned from being pressure-sensing to capacitive. Because of this transition, the moisture of your fingertip determines the sensitivity. I find that I need to occasionally lick my fingertip to get the screen to detect my finger, especially in the winter. I even had to do this to sign for a delivery. (I then washed that hand.) Hand lotion is not good as it leaves a residue. There are touch-screen stylus pens that may also work. — David B., New Ulm, Minnesota Dear Heloise: A green tip I learned is not to put anything down the drain/toilet that you don’t absolutely have to. Things that go in the trash also go to the landfill, but things that go down the drain must go through several caustic processes that take up a great deal of energy to get the waste to the point that it can actually be disposed of in the landfill. — Annie H., Missoula, Montana Dear Heloise: A couple of months ago, my husband and I were vacationing in Canada, and we were very impressed by how our neighbors in the north recycle items. We were also happily surprised that they take cloth bags to grocery stories and use paper bags instead of plastic. Everyone looks at an environmentally friendly and sustainable way of life as the correct way to live. Why can’t this country do the same thing? We have graffiti everywhere. People throw trash in the ocean, which kills thousands of sea life that mistake it for food. Our public parks often have overflowing trash barrels. We all live on one planet, and as far as I can tell, it’s everyone’s responsibility to “take out the trash.” We need to end plastic bag use in America and teach our children that being careless and throwing garbage in the ocean is not acceptable. We all need to show more pride in our surroundings and remember that we don’t own Earth. We are merely stewards of Earth. — Rita B., Mount Clemens, Michigan Rita, I think Americans have been slow to adopt environmental changes, and unless our government does more to encourage people to conserve, recycle, and take better care of the world around us, things won’t change. I’m hoping this will start with people at a grassroots level. — Heloise Dear Heloise: Indoor pollution can be caused by many factors such as cigarette smoke, gas stoves, and off-gases from new furniture, paint, wallpaper or carpeting. If you find it easier to breathe outside of your home, you may have developed an allergy from indoor pollution. There are some things you can do, and the first is to see a doctor to isolate what it is that you’re allergic to, in order to stop the rash, coughing or other irritations. We finally found out my son was allergic to cigarettes, so we quit smoking. His lungs cleared up. — Victoria H., Eugene, Oregon Send a money-saving or time-saving hint to Heloise@Heloise.com .
