Is a negative risk a good thing or a bad thing? (it's an opportunity, but some

financal analysts use this term to refer to negative outcome -- as opposed

[Aside: this question gave Barry much pause for thought- he just couldn't recall which one of his many books were "latest".]

 

When Barry says he us using CRACK help him reach better teaching results, what

is he talking about and why hasn't he been arrested? (SE team course success

factors: Collaborative, Representative, Authorized, Knowledgeable)
