Weekend numberic life links

1) Physical World magazine asked its reader voting for the 20 greatest equations ever in the history of science, here is the list. These equations are listed in order of the number of people who proposed them.
2) what are responsible for the rapid rising autism rate in US (and may be the world)? A maverick minority of scientists and a larger percentage of parents blame thimerosal - which is 49.6 percent ethyl mercury by weight - for the rising autism rate, up 1,000% in 20 years to 0.6% of all 8-year-old U.S. children. Some parents say they watched their children become physically ill and regress into autism soon after they got shots that contained the chemical.

Have you heard at all of a wave of Latinos diagnosed with diabetics in the US? My mom read an article on it and I was wondering if you had heard/read anything like that.
