Japan faces karoshi death toll at Toyota plant
Washington Post reports Japan recognizes karoshi as a cause of death from excessive work. A 45 year old Toyota chief engineer died in 2006 after months of up to 114 hours of overtime. The Labor Bureau ruling allows his widow and children to receive work insurance benefits. Toyota pledged overtime pay for quality control sessions and to improve health monitoring after earlier embarrassments.

County trims budgets and contemplates tax hike
County commissioners, at a Monday meeting, identified over 2 million dollars in cuts from Weinang recommendations, while debating a mill levy and how much economic development funding to preserve. County funded agencies like the Lawrence Humane Society and Bert Nash CMHC face service reductions, including cutting the Bert Nash WRAP program valued at 225 thousand dollars. The 2009 budget could balance without more than 4 million in capital improvements, but that would be shortsighted, Johnson warned.
