A trader weighs his gold in a shop in Kapoeta, South Sudan October 24, 2012. In South Sudan ordinary people have been extracting gold from artisanal mines and taking part in as-yet unregulated trade in the precious metal. But now the government hopes to pass mining legislation that will formalise the industry, let them tax precious metal and mineral exports and sell concessions to large-scale investors. Officials say firms from China, Australia, the United States, South Africa and other African countries plan to apply for licences when new mining laws are passed in November. After many delays, parliament is set to begin debate on the bill on Monday. Picture taken October 24, 2012. REUTERS/Adriane Ohanesian (SOUTH SUDAN - Tags: BUSINESS COMMODITIES CRIME LAW POLITICS)

People walk along a street in Bunagana where business is resuming five days after the town was overrun with M23 insurgents, near the Uganda and Democratic Republic of Congo border, July 9, 2012. On July 6, the rebels seized Bunagana, an important mineral transit town, driving about 600 Congolese soldiers across the border into Uganda. The gains for the M23 rebel movement in volatile, mineral-rich North Kivu province risks dragging the vast, loosely governed central African state back into war.

The sign reads, "Long live to CNRDRE (National Committee for the Recovery of Democracy and Restoration of the State). Long live to the army." REUTERS/Luc Gnago (MALI - Tags: POLITICS CIVIL UNREST)

Medical records clerks work in Clinica Sierra Vista's East Bakersfield Community Health Center in Bakersfield, California October 20, 2009. Nowhere in the United States has more doctors at its beck and call than White Plains, one of the wealthiest cities in the nation. Nearly 3,000 miles (4,830 km) away, scaring up a doctor in Bakersfield, situated in California's economically battered Central Valley, is a lot harder. In fact, White Plains has more than twice the number of doctors per capita as Bakersfield, where needy patients until recently had to take a 2-hour bus trip to Fresno to see a diabetes treatment specialist.
