What to watch: ‘Master Gardener,’ ‘Happy Valley’ worthy, if flawed, finales

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:06:56 GMT

Can the third time really be the charm?At 76, uncompromising filmmaker Paul Schrader wraps up his trilogy on men confronting their pasts. Meanwhile, the third — and sadly final — season of one of TV’s best contemporary crime series — “Happy Valley” — hopes to save the best for last.But as great as they are in considerable ways, each has an issue with sticking the landing.Here’s our roundup.“Master Gardener”: Is it possible that Paul Schrader, the gifted and cranky screenwriter of the seminal “Taxi Driver” and auteur of other gritty downer films, has gone soft on us? You might come away feeling that’s the case after watching this final installment in his unofficially connected trio of features about men wrestling with past deeds and misdeeds. And OK, this isn’t as dark as “First Reformed,” the best film in that three-pack. But “Gardener” is an at-times thrilling eyebrow-raiser about the troubled, seemingly mild-mannered horticulturist Narvel Roth (Joel Edgerton) reckoning with past c...

Ian Munro | The Virginian-Pilot (TNS)Dr. Robert Haley still has questions.“You’re always just trying to relieve this frustration that you don’t know the answer,” Haley said.The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center researcher is among those who have studied an illness afflicting thousands of Gulf War veterans since the mid 1990s.“First we proved that it was a disease and that it was an injury,” Haley said. “Then we proved that Sarin gas did it and then we’ve got this gene-environment interaction and the guys that are sick — it’s not their fault; they were born with a susceptibility.”From the beginning, it was considered a mystery disease due to a lack of records of what every person was exposed to every day, according to Haley.“This is no longer a mystery disease,” he said.Using genetics, a study released by Haley and others last year linked the malady noted to cause respiratory complaints, sleep disturbances, forgetfulness, and muscle and joint pain, to the deadly chemica...

Hyundai Motor America and Kia America will resolve class-action lawsuit prompted by a surge in vehicle thefts with a settlement agreement that could be valued at $200 million, the automakers announced Friday.The settlement covers about 9 million 2011-2022 model year Hyundai and Kia vehicles in the U.S. today, according to the companies. The cars are not equipped with push-button ignitions and immobilizing anti-theft devices — which has allowed them to be stolen easily by using just a screwdriver and a USB cord, creating a recent auto-theft outbreak across the country.Here are the vehicles involved:____Hyundai: 2018-2022 Accent2011-2022 Elantra2013-2020 Elantra GT2018-2022 Kona2013-2022 Santa Fe2013-2018 Santa Fe Sport2019 Santa Fe XL2011-2019 Sonata2011-2022 Tucson2012-2017 and 2019-2021 Veloster 2020-2021 Venue2013-2014 Genesis Coupe2020-2021 Palisade._____Kia: 2011-2022 Sportage2011-2020 Optima2011-2022 Sorento, 2011-2021 Forte2020-2022 Soul, 2012-2021 Rio2011-2021 Sedona, 2021-20...

FBI broke rules in scouring foreign intelligence on Jan. 6 riot, racial justice protests, court says

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:06:56 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — FBI officials repeatedly violated their own standards when they searched a vast repository of foreign intelligence for information related to the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U..S. Capitol and racial justice protests in 2020, according to a heavily blacked-out court order released Friday.FBI officials said the thousands of violations, which also include improper searches of donors to a congressional campaign, predated a series of corrective measures that started in the summer of 2021 and continued last year. But the problems could nonetheless complicate FBI and Justice Department efforts to receive congressional reauthorization of a warrantless surveillance program that law enforcement officials say is needed to counter terrorism, espionage and international cybercrime.The violations were detailed in a secret court order issued last year by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which has legal oversight of the U.S. government’s spy powers.
