A Texas Tribune (Austin, Texas) article on judges’ records for granting political asylum, also published in the New York Times, cites statistics from Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC). Additionally, a Reuters roundup and El Paso Times (Texas) article on the topic also cite the TRAC data.

The Houma Today (Terrebonne Parish, La.) quotes Robert Thompson, director of the Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, in a story on the trend of “planking” and the Buffalo News quotes Thompson on the format of local programming in a business story about Buffalo station WNGS-TV converting to a new network affiliation with an emphasis on locally produced content.

Rising senior Natascha Trellinger in the L.C. Smith College of Engineering and Computer Science is quoted in a Pueblo Chieftain (Colorado) story on rocket launches in the area recently during the annual United Launch Alliance and Ball Aerospace Summer Intern Rocket Launch.
