America discovers a previously unrecognized suicide problem, a major entertainment company will no longer get its branded clothing from Bangladesh, and that lamb chop wasn’t a lamb chop.  Not unless a lamb squeaks and lives in the sewers.  Yikes, let’s go around the world on CareerSpot:

America’s suicide rate among the middle-aged has skyrocketed in the past decade, according to new figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  More people die of suicide than from car crashed: In 2010 there were 33,687 deaths from motor vehicle crashes and 38,364 suicides.  Suicide prevention programs are typically targeted towards teens and the elderly.  However, the Baby Boom generation has had easier access to prescription pain killers, more guns, and years of economic morass that has gutted peoples’ retirement savings.

Disney is pulling pout of Bangladeshi garment factories.  In a memo sent before the collapse of the Rana Plaza Building that killed more than 450 workers, Disney cited the November fire at the Tazreen Fashions Factory in Bangladesh's capital Dhaka that killed 112 people. Disney will also halt clothing production in four other countries: Ecuador, Venezuela, Belarus and Pakistan, by April 2014.

Bangladesh Police arrested the building engineer who was considered a hero in the building collapse.  A day before the Rana Plaza collapsed, Abdur Razzaque Khan was summoned because cracks had suddenly appeared in the structure.  He concluded that the building was dangerous and should be closed.  But the owners and garment factory owners claim he told them it was safe.  Investigators are questioning him to get at the truth.

Forensic experts say the late Chilean Poet Pablo Neruda was indeed battling cancer at the time of his death in 1973.  Neruda’s remains had been exhumed after a former aide insisted that the death was caused by poison ordered by Chile’s fascist dictator Augusto Pinochet.  Now, investigators are awaiting toxicology tests conducted in the US to provide the last piece in the puzzle.

The last seven South Korean workers have left the Kaesong Industrial complex, a joint manufacturing facility in North Korea.  It was the last spot of inter-Korean cooperation.  Tensions have been high on the peninsula since Pyongyang’s nuclear test in February.

Prosecutors in Chad say they’ve stopped a coup.  Two lawmakers and two military officials are under arrest, accused of plotting to topple President Idriss Deby, who himself seized power in a 1990 coup.  Chad is cooperating with France and the west in battling al Qaeda rebels in Africa.

Heavy metal guitar player Jeff Hanneman of the band Slayer is dead, more than a year after a spider bite that developed into necrotizing fasciitis, or “flesh eating disease”, that required parts of his picking arm to be removed.  It is not yet known whether that led to the liver failure that killed him this week.  Tributes are pouring in from the recording industry and from musicians such as Slash and Andrew W.K.  Hanneman was 49 years old.

Authorities in China say they busted up a ring selling rat, fox, and mink flesh that was labeled as mutton.  The roadkill was doused in gelatin, red pigment, and nitrates to disguise it, and sold in Shanghai and Jiangsu Province.  The ring made at least A$1.6 million.  China’s blogosphere exploded with a new round of disgust over the unsafe food chain that has seen meat, fruit and vegetables laden with disease, toxins, banned dyes and preservatives.
