This summer, one person will get paid to live out what would be most travelers' worst nightmare: 80 days -- and nights -- stuck at the airport. Canada's Vancouver International Airport turns 80 in July, and to celebrate, the airport authority is holding a contest to pick one person who will live onsite for 80 days and create short daily videos, post updates on Facebook and Twitter and provide other reports about their experience.

************************************************
ST PETERSBURG -- James Shields left with two innings to go on Wednesday and came away a 4-3 loser.
In the process, Tampa Bay's "Complete-Game James" saw his string of consecutive complete games snapped at three, thanks to a hanging curveball and not enough offense as the Reds took the rubber game of the three-game series in front of 25,968 at Tropicana Field.

CHICAGO -- To paraphrase the question that presidential candidates ask voters, are the Giants better off now than they were a year ago?
Mostly, yes, though Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Chicago Cubs reminded San Francisco of the offensive flaws that have marred an otherwise impressive followup to last year's World Series conquest.
