Information is power. Here’s a round-up of what we’ve been reading and watching this week, from in the news and around the web:

With over 90 percent of the goal yet to be attained, and just over half of the fiscal year remaining, an average of 1,292 resettlement spaces need to be filled each month for the next seven months to keep on track.
