| Cultural tourism workshops set for Northern Colorado - Northern Colorado Business Report Posted: 17 Sep 2010 02:33 PM PDT The Northern Colorado Cultural Tourism Alliance is hosting free public workshops to gather input and suggestions for the Weld County portion of a Northern Colorado Cultural Tourism Plan. The workshops, which will be held from 5 to 8 p.m., are set for Sept. 22 at the Southwest Weld Services Center, 4209 County Road 24 1/2, in Longmont and on Sept. 23 at the Fort Lupton Community Recreation Center, 203 S. Harrison Ave., in Fort Lupton. The NCCTA is a collaborative effort by a group of entities from Larimer and Weld counties to evaluate and promote cultural tourism in Northern Colorado. Representatives from the city of Greeley, city of Fort Collins, Greeley Convention and Visitors Bureau, Weld County, Larimer County, Colorado State University, Cache la Poudre Heritage Area and other groups are taking part in NCCTA. Phase one, completed in 2009, created a draft Larimer County Strategic Plan. Following the creation of the draft Weld County plan, the two plans will be merged to create a strategic plan for the region. The grant is funded by a grant from the Peter Grant Foundation through the national Trust for Historic Preservation.

| Barroso: Cultural differences hurt Turkey’s EU plan - Today's Zaman Posted: 22 Sep 2010 04:07 PM PDT Barroso on Tuesday told students at Columbia University in New York that there had been "developments both in public opinion in Turkey and in some of our member states" that were hindering progress on Turkish membership in the bloc. "There are, it's true today, in European Union member states ... some big questions about the membership of Turkey because of cultural differences and that is something that is extremely serious," Barroso said. "We are now discussing this matter with our member states." "Turkey recognizes that not all benchmarks have been met -- this is the first issue," Barroso said. "The European Commission is very much in favor of the enlargement of the European Union but we have to see all the members meet all criteria." Rising opposition to immigration in a number of EU countries also has harmed the candidacy of Turkey, which has long been a major source of immigration in Europe. On Sunday, Swedish voters gave the Sweden Democrats enough support to put the anti-immigration party into parliament. In a number of other European countries such as Denmark and the Netherlands, right-wing parties opposed to immigration have also gained traction in recent years.
