Editor’s Note: A year ago Friday, July 20 to be more precise, Brooks and I sat down for dinner after the third day of IPCPR and we discussed the idea of halfwheel–or what was to become halfwheel. Like so many great ideas for the site, Brooks thought of it first and it took me a [...]

Last year, I published an article entitled Ten Questions for 2011. The concept was simple, what were a few of the topics to watch for in the upcoming year. With the notable exception of E.P. Carrillo’s crazy year, I’d like to think that we covered most of the major topics of 2011. With another year [...]

Editor’s Note: Quietly, there are a few people beginning to wonder about the IPCPR show in Orlando next year. The main reason for the concern is that Orlando’s City Council (and Mayor) have been on anti-smoking crusade as of late. The IPCPR published this press release days before Orlando’s City Council unanimously passed a resolution [...]
