The article links to the CDC report: http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/su63e0923a1.htm?s_c...
The CDC report and the article present both worst-case and best-case scenarios for Liberia and Sierra Leone. 1.4M is worst-case (no intervention) and "almost ended" is best-case ("If, by late December 2014, approximately 70% of patients were placed either in ETUs or home or in a community setting such that there is a reduced risk for disease transmission [...] then the epidemic in both countries would almost be ended by January 20, 2015").

His advisor's memoir is also interesting:
"So after Yitang graduated, I told him the normal way of seeking jobs. When I looked into his eyes, I found a disturbing soul, a burning bush, an explorer who wanted to reach the north pole, a mountaineer who determined to scale Mt. Everest, and a traveler who would brave thunders and lightnings to reach his destination. Yitang never came back to me requesting recommendation letters. Apparently, he did not seek a job. Even to the date Yitang announced his monumental result I did not know what was the best for him. Though I was sure of one thing, − he could not survive the life of “tenure-track,” “tenure,” and “promotions”. It was not his type. I regarded him as a free spirit, and I should let him fly."

It's because it sets max-width: 600px on the <video>.
Blink currently doesn't force fullscreen elements to width/height 100%/100%.

Her name doesn't necessarily mean "bow", though. "Yumi" is a reading of many first names, like 裕美 (something like "full of beauty") or 由美, which are more common than 弓 (bow).

This article makes a lot more sense if you see the sister article:

I get: "The fastest route is 232 マイル, which will take approximately NaN to NaN steps if you walked it."

At Stanford, you don't declare your major until your 2nd or 3rd year, and can change it after declaring. Students declaring CS will have already taken a number of CS courses, including the fundamentals of CS.

They set the machine to play at 2-ply, i.e., it only looks two moves ahead. It's not so surprising even a good algorithm would lose in 15 moves at 2-ply.
The article mentions they also played at 5-ply and it lasted 27 and 30 moves against Kasparov, which is probably better than most casual players would do.

In case anyone else had trouble:
University of Colorado at Boulder: pg. 19
Yale: pg. 26
Colorado School of Mines: pg. 14
I must agree the Colorado School of Mines struck me as warm as well, from the get-go, before I read your comment.

Your get_tail_child always returns NULL
for (tail_ch = head_ch; tail_ch; tail_ch = tail_ch->next);
return tail_ch;
The sources also mention better use of meeting time via an increase in shorter meetings and teleconferences.
