Europe still at grave risk despite billions for Spain
Demonstrators hold up signs reading: "Everybody Out", "We don't owe, we don't pay" and "They rescue the banks and evict people" in reference to Spain's bailout, at Puerta del Sol square in Madrid June 9, 2012. Euro zone finance ministers agreed on Saturday to lend Spain up to 100-billion euros ($125-billion) to shore up its teetering banks and Madrid said it would specify precisely how much it needs once independent audits report in just over a week. After a 2-1/2-hour conference call of the 17 finance ministers, which several sources described as heated, the Eurogroup and Madrid said the amount of the bailout would be sufficiently large to banish any doubts.

Zoom in: Explore in detail Michael Awad's image of the Ride for Heart
For the past 10 years local artist and urbanist Michael Awad's 'The Entire City Project' has examined, captured and catalogued Toronto. His ultimate goal is to create a photographic inventory of all the streets, all the people, and all aspects of daily life. This poster of the Ride For Heart, to be read as a single image from left to right and top to bottom, captures the first 3 minutes (over 400 riders) to cross the start line. With over 10,000 participating in this years ride we would require more than 20 pages to show everyone. Awad's mural size works can be seen at the Art Gallery of Ontario, Pearson International Airport, Telus House, The Schulich School of Business and Toronto's City Hall. In addition to most of the city's major streets the project has captured laneways, highways, the CNE, the TTC, markets and supermarkets, galleries, factories, railway crossings, neighborhoods and suburbs, boxing day shoppers, parades, parks and 100's of thousands of Toronto's people. Michael Awad and the Nicholas Metivier Gallery are pleased to donate the proceeds of this commemorative poster to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
