By Yuri Kageyama | Associated PressTOKYO — All 28 vehicle assembly lines at Toyota’s 14 auto plants in Japan shut down Tuesday over a problem in its computer system that deals with incoming auto parts.The automaker doesn’t believe the problem was caused by a cyberattack but the cause is still under investigation, said spokeswoman Sawako Takeda.Toyota said later that production will restart on Wednesday.“We apologize for all the troubles we have caused,” it said in a statement.Toyota declined to say what models being produced might be affected.The shutdown comes after a shortage of computer chips and other auto parts stalled production in Asian nations affected by social restrictions over the coronavirus pandemic.The chips shortage woes had only recently started to ease for Japan’s top automaker, which makes the Camry sedan, Prius hybrid, Lexus luxury brand.

DeSantis under fire over rhetoric after racist killings

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:02:02 GMT

By Steve Peoples and Brendan Farrington | Associated PressTALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Ron DeSantis scoffed when the NAACP issued a travel advisory this spring warning Black people to use “extreme care” if traveling to Florida.The leading civil rights group argued that the state’s loose gun laws and the Republican governor’s “anti-woke” campaign to deny the existence of systemic racism created a culture of “open hostility towards African Americans and people of color.”Just three months later, DeSantis is leading his state through the aftermath of a racist attack that left three African Americans dead. Black leaders in Florida — and across the nation — say they’re outraged by his actions and rhetoric ahead of the shooting.“Gov. DeSantis has created and pushed a narrative of division and hate that is anti-Black,” said Rev. Jeffrey Rumlin, pastor of The Dayspring Church in Jacksonville, where three Black people were gunned down a...

Thought San Jose’s 2022 mayor’s race was expensive? Experts say brace yourself.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:02:02 GMT

San Jose’s contentious mayoral race last year between Matt Mahan and Cindy Chavez was a pricey battle between business and labor interests, shattering the city’s all-time campaign spending record to the tune of more than $8 million.Now that figure could climb even higher in the years to come after the San Jose City Council voted 10-1 Tuesday to loosen the city’s campaign finance laws in the wake of a 2022 Supreme Court case involving Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz.Candidates running for public office in San Jose will now be able to get back all the money they loaned to their campaign through the use of pre and post-election contributions. Previously, candidates could only claw back up to $20,000.The recommendation to eliminate the cap was made by the city’s five-person Board of Fair Campaign and Political Practices. In addition to investigating violations of campaign rules, the board also reviews the city’s current campaign laws during off-election year...
