That was the premise of Wired magazine's Vanish contest. Wired promised writer Evan Ratliff $3,000 if he could go on the lam and not get caught for 30 days. It also offered a $5,000 reward to anyone able to find Evan and say the password — "fluke."

About 170,000 doses of A/H1N1 flu vaccine are being withdrawn in Canada from Friday after health officials reported an unusually high number of allergic reactions. Health officials in the western province of Manitoba reported Thursday a higher-than-usual number of allergic reactions after using vaccine from a batch manufactured by a factory of British drugmaker GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) in Quebec. Usually one or two allergic reactions are expected for a batch of that size, but Manitoba has recorded six severe allergic reactions.

Swine flu activity declined slightly last week, with only 43 states reporting widespread activity, compared with 46 states the week before, officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday. Even though levels have declined, they still are "higher than peak activity in many years," said Anne Schuchat, director of the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. Officials fear, moreover, that flu activity will pick up as people travel around the country for Thanksgiving and the holiday season.

"We are expecting in 2010 the Mexican economy will grow by around 3 percent," said Deputy Finance Minister Alejandro Werner, a huge improvement from a 7.5 percent contraction in 2009. The Mexican government released figures Friday that showed the economy grew 2.9 percent in the third quarter over the previous three-month period.

Hunter averaged 19.3 points on 55.1 percent shooting and 9.4 rebounds a game for the NBA Developmental League's Fort Wayne Mad Ants last season. He bumps the Warriors' roster to 16 players, one over the league maximum, which was allowed in this case because of their injury woes. Kelenna Azubuike (knee) and Brandan Wright (shoulder) have been lost for the season, and Raja Bell , who Monday will meet with a hand specialist and schedule left wrist surgery in Charlotte, could have the same fate.
