The sun sets over the Nile River and the historical site of the Giza Pyramids as seen from Cairo, Egypt, Tuesday, May 21, 2013. Egypt's president has signed a new tax law that cuts the amount paid by poorer Egyptians while increasing taxes on small and medium-sized businesses. The measure is among many economic reforms the government is trying to impose to control its burgeoning budget deficit. Egypt is negotiating a $4.8 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund, which is pushing for economic revisions.(AP Photo/Amr Nabil)

In this Tuesday, May 14, 2013, photo, Brennan Thickem who helps run the Venice Beach Care Center medical marijuana dispensary in Venice, Calif., poses next to "Yes to Prop D" signs in Venice. Los Angeles politicians have tried and failed for so long to regulate medical marijuana that it was only a matter of time before voters got a chance to control shops that have proliferated. Complicating matters, there are three measures on Tuesday's ballot that would allow sick people to get the drug, but either limit the number of shops, raise taxes or do both.

In this picture taken May 9, 2013, Argentina's Economy Minister Hernan Lorenzino, right, and Deputy Economy Minister Axel Kicillof explain to lawmakers a proposed law that aims to get Argentines to pull their undeclared U.S. dollars from under their mattresses and out of illegal tax havens, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The plan to get Argentines to deposit their previously unreported American greenbacks into the local banking system is eliciting strong warnings that it will turn the country into a magnet for money launderers and organized crime. The government of President Cristina Fernandez dismisses those concerns, saying the proposal to accept these dollars without charging taxes or asking whether they were obtained legally is needed to finance the key construction and energy industries, which have stalled due to inflationary pressures and currency controls.

Nokia executive vice president of smart devices Jo Harlow (L), and vice president for industrial design Stefan Pannenbecker, pose with the new Nokia Lumia 925 at its launch in London May 14, 2013. Nokia unveiled a lighter, metal model in its Lumia smartphone range, as it tries to catch the eye of buyers to close the huge market lead of rivals Samsung and Apple Inc in the lucrative handset market. The Lumia 925, to be sold for 469 euros ($610) before taxes and subsidies through carriers such as Vodafone and China Mobile, is the latest in Nokia's range using Windows Phone software, on which Chief executive Stephen Elop has pinned the future of the loss-making company to reverse a dramatic drop in revenue over the last two years.
