  "full_text": "We're forging ahead at the National Institute for Computer-Assisted Reporting as equipment, data and requests for seminars pour in.\n\nIn this expanded issue we will report on new developments at the institute that include the upgrading our data library, plans for the optional computer-assisted day at the national IRE conference in St. Louis in June and our increasing number of on-the-road seminars.\n\nThis issue also has an overview of how to store all that data that some of you are accumulating, a tech tip from our academic adviser Richard Mullins and two looks at probing banking practices.\n\nIn the past few weeks, we've received a number of excellent CAR-inspired stories. Please send us your articles or videos as soon as they appear so we can put them in our resource center and use them at our seminars and conferences.\n\nAnd if you have any CAR-related questions or suggestions, call us at (314)882-0684 or e-mail us at jourjbh@muccmail.missouri.edu.",
