| Warren Gerds column: Country radio rules in area
The 54th annual "Local Cerebral Palsy Telethon" will run from 8 p.m. to midnight Saturday and 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday on WBAY, Channel 2. At a time, the show to benefit Cerebral Palsy Inc. featured national stars. Lately, the performers have local connections (though their careers carry them far). Entertainers Dan Riley and David Seering will host. The entertainment lineup also includes Let Me Be Frank Productions, the Lovell Ives Orchestra and singer Jenny Thiel. Green Bay Packers Coach Mike McCarthy is honorary chairperson. Also appearing are WBAY personalities Jeff Alexander, George Graphos, Bill Jartz, Cami Rapson and Sarah Thomsen. It's the oldest continuing telethon in the nation, and it probably again will raise around $1 million. "Green" Bay indeed: Two Green Bay area plant people will appear on "The Wisconsin Gardener" at 5 p.m.
Erdoðan's counter offensive against Armenian genocide claims
If there was a genocide, it was you who perpetuated its most violent form, Erdoan said. He argued that genocide is uncharacteristic of Turks. The character of this nation does not let it commit such crimes. We call Armenians to end their unjustified occupation, Erdoan said. The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe oversees negotiations between two South Caucasian states, but the ceasefire is breached occasionally, like the incident in mid-February when an Azerbaijani soldier was killed due to Armenian fire.

Poland's Gen. Jaruzelski has left hospital after treatment
The former leader remains a divisive figure in Poland because of his decision to impose martial law on Dec. 13, 1981, in an effort to crack down on the fledgling Solidarity movement, the trade union that launched Poland's peaceful anti-communist revolt in 1980. .
Britney Spears
Sam Lutfi was finally served the restraining order yesterday that effectively requires him to stay 250 feet from Britney Spears and have no contact with her whatsoever. The restraining order was set to expire today, but the judge in the case extended it to March 17, according to the AP: In court papers, Jeffrey Wexler, an attorney for her father, James Spears, wrote that "after three weeks of apparently evading service," Lutfi was served at 11 a.m. outside his Los Angeles apartment.
The order, which requires Lutfi to stay 250 yards away from Spears and her home, was set to expire Friday. Wexler had asked for the order to be extended. Poor Sam Lutfi. He must miss Britney Spears. I bet he walks in on random pap smears just to remember the good times. Surprisingly none of the women really cared until Sam started throwing Cheetos at them and screaming "Where's the checkbook?! I'll feed you to Satan!" Then it got a little weird.
Bread-baking barista leads coffee, pastry shop
I have a subscription to Cook's Illustrated magazine. (And) I get back issues from my parents." To those who are just venturing into the field of cooking, Hawkins suggests, "In the summer, go to the farmer's market and get something you've never cooked or even heard of. You can go on the Internet and get recipes." It's not just baking bread and cooking that get Hawkins fired up; food in general does. "I get excited about food from the first seed to the last bite," he says. "I also like the farming or gardening. I grew up on a farm, 99 acres. My dad (Jeff Hawkins) is a Lutheran pastor and resigned to do the (Clergy Sustaining Agriculture) farm." Hawkins says he cooked all the meals last year for a "hands-on" pastoral education program.
