There`s no looking back is what instantiates the professional engagements of Judyth Piazza who, after years of prominence in journalism and online media, is now close to publishing her first book. What intrigues her fans and listeners is that she is keeping the book`s name a secret!

Judyth Piazza, whose popular online radio show The American Perspective is enjoyed by thousands of people around the world, has put together select interviews from her show`s archives and is publishing these along with her success story as a journalist as well as her health and fitness routine. The interviews included in the book present the success stories of people who have marked achievement in their respective fields and are not hesitant in sharing their success stories. An exciting feature of the book is that interested readers will have the opportunity to listen to audio files of each interview by visiting her show`s online archives.

`Success` is the theme of Judyth Piazza`s coming book, as she tells about it. Asked who will find her book interesting, she said, “Anyone who is interested in succeeding so I would say everyone that has a passion for something.” Judyth`s concept of success is broad and open. She looks at success as having no age limit and where it is never too early or too late to chase one`s dreams.

Expected to be released around the end of June 2011, Judyth Piazza`s book has many interesting images of her and her guests on the show. The book will be published by Von Chase Publishing as both an e-book and in traditional print format.

“I am planning to do several book signing events that are yet to be scheduled,” tells the journalist-cum-author whose charisma as a journalist and radio talk show host has won her thousands of fans over the globe. Many of them will be thrilled to learn that their favorite Judyth Piazza will also be offering “autographed copies of the book” all this summer on Judyth Piazza`s authorial debut!

Jennifer Patty will be performing a one-woman show, “Doin’ The Divas,” a celebration of the sultry and sassy women of Broadway, jazz and R&B in her first full cabaret performance locally in l2 years. She is well known in the community as being the former Director of Theatre and Administrator of the Waxlax Center for the Performing Arts at Saint Edward’s School for the past 10 years. Her performance will be held at the Vero Beach Theatre Guild, 2020 San Juan Avenue in Vero Beach on Saturday, April 9, 2011, at 7:00 p.m. Experience this rare performance, while helping to make a difference in the lives of seniors. All monies raised will benefit By the River, a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization and Indian River County’s new, affordable independent residential community for seniors of limited financial means.

Snooki, the pint-sized star, of Jersey Shore fame has penned her first novel, “A Shore Thing.” Although no reviewer worth his salt has compared Snooki to Shakespeare, the reality star`s tome does contain nuggets like these:

“Any juicehead will get some nut shrinkage. And acne. They fly into a `roid rage, it is a `road` `roid rage.”

“Gia danced around a little, shaking her peaches for show. She shook it hard. Too hard. In the middle of a shimmy, her stomach cramped. A fart slipped out. A loud one. And stinky.”

It looks like Snooki actually wrote her novel, any ghostwriter who penned literary pearls like these wouldn`t be hired by any aspiring novelist.

Sarah Palin, the reality star and wannabe president, has penned her second book, “America by Heart: Reflections on Family, Faith and Flag.” Palin`s ghostwritten book contains such trite and divisive passages like these:

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn`t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children`s children what it was once like in the United States when men were free.”

“Still, I don`t think it`s an accident that the opponents of this new American awakening so often accuse Tea Partiers and others of being racist. For one thing, it`s a guaranteed conversation stopper. Just saying the word racist instantly ends any legitimate debate. Just the accusation gives the accuser an excuse not to debate the issues at hand.”

Judyth Piazza the CEO and managing editor of TheSOP.Org will soon release her new book:

“Judyth`s book will include select items from her years of work in media, like her interviews with her guests on The American Perspective, along with the healthy activities in her own life such as her exercise and fitness routine. Currently, the title of the book is a tightly kept secret and rumor has it that it is going to be a sample from Judyth`s exciting life and career, including testimonials and quotes about her achievements. The book will be published by Von Chase Publishing with a foreword written by the publisher, Chase Von.” http://staugnews.com/2011/02/17/judyth-piazza-creator-of-thesop-radio-network-now-to-emerge-as-an-author.html

Unlike Snooki and Sarah Palin, Judyth isn`t a reality star, she`s a renowned journalist and a celebrated radio talk show host. You won`t find Snooki-like paragraphs like this one in Judyth`s book:

“I was so excited when I was interviewing Brad Pitt that I let loose a fart of epic proportions, but I relied on my professionalism to get me out of the stinky mess. I explained to my radio audience that we were having audio difficulties. Brad is handsome, but he`s a complete dunce, he actually fell for my explanation.”

Nor will you find any trite Sarah Pain like passages like this one in Judyth`s book:

“When I`m writing an essay or interviewing a guest I feel the love of Jesus flowing through my veins. I`m so glad that I live in the greatest country in the world where we can fulfill our dreams and eat all the ice cream in the world.”

Judyth`s book will feature true to the heart stories and wisdom like this:

“My whole career, I think, has sort of been like that, sort of slow going but, you know, get up to pace. You got to have endurance. You`ve got to be tenacious and have endurance and, you know, you can`t let anything keep you down. You got to keep coming back.” Patrick Warburton, “Seinfeld”.

Judyth`s book will be out by the end of June!

Judyth’s book will include select items from her years of work in media, like her interviews with her guests on The American Perspective, along with the healthy activities in her own life such as her exercise and fitness routine.

Her fans will be looking forward to welcoming Judyth Piazza with open arms into the world of publishing as a messenger of objectivity and clear vision. For Judyth, every venture is a fresh turn in life. And her debutant book is the next one to enjoy.

Since the beginning, my experience with Judyth Piazza and The SOP News Network has been rewarding. I enjoy working with people who show commitment in everything they do, making me feel less of a contributor but instead a valued family member.

Judyth Piazza has been a fabulous mentor, the wisdom and knowledge she has shared with me has been useful in so many ways. Being a relatively young writer, Judyth has provided me with a plethora of knowledge and resources for the benefit of my writing projects. Her recommendations and insights have further enabled me to improve my craft. With her support, not only have I enhanced my writing capabilities, but gained a better appreciation for the overall craft.

Being a college student, (especially under the current world climate we find ourselves in) I find myself at odds with the functions of the world surrounding me. Not so much for the natural world but for how our society functions in general. As a wildlife major, my appreciation for wildlife and nature is beyond words. I yearn for a world at peace with nature and people. Anybody who reads my writings know that nature has a huge influence over my work, I like to think of nature as a character rather than just a setting.

A huge portion of writing happens for the most part by surprise, which is what I enjoy about the whole writing process. In my opinion, surprise is everything. The joy of writing by impulse is the spontaneity of it all, the surprise that just so happens to come with it is the result of you finally opening your heart to the possibilities out there, allowing me to further enjoy the process of writing. In the end, it enables me to attempt to begin to understand the power that words actually wield.

While working with TheSOP.org and Judyth I feel that I’ve been provided with an outlet to further express my opinions and ideas. With their support, I’ve been able to write articles on a variety of topics; additionally helping me by allowing me to express my view on a number of different issues. I stand today; having a combination of perseverance, patience, and integrity gained by what life I’ve lived so far. My hope is that my writing reflects that, as I attempt to reflect these values in everything I do.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) reported today that a Muslim university professor has been appointed to the Jacksonville, Fla., Human Rights Commission despite a prolonged smear campaign by the anti-Islam hate group ACT! for America, whose leader says Muslims should not be allowed to hold public office.

Parvez Ahmed, a professor at the University of North Florida, was appointed to the commission by a 13-6 city council vote last night after being subjected to weeks of smears based on his previous community activism and his political views. [Ahmed is a past national board chairman of CAIR.]

As the city council began discussion of the nomination, one of its members called Ahmed to the podium and asked him to “say a prayer to your God.” The same council member also asked Ahmed if the session’s opening prayer offended him. When asked why that was relevant, the council member claimed Ahmed “would be offended by a prayer to Jesus, and therefore was not suitable to serve on the commission.”

The Florida Times-Union newspaper reports that the council member’s inappropriate line of questioning “produced gasps from the audience, concern from one of the city’s top attorneys and sharp rebukes from his fellow council members.”

During the weeks-long smear campaign against Ahmed, another city council member was asked, “Do you believe Muslims should be able to hold any public office in Florida?” He responded: “I don’t know.”

“The Florida Muslim community applauds the Jacksonville city council for standing up to the hatred and bigotry promoted by a tiny minority of fear-mongers,” said CAIR-Tampa Executive Director Ramzy Kiliç. “This incident is further evidence of the unfortunately growing ‘Islamophobia machine’ in our nation that targets any Muslim who seeks positive civic participation.”

He said the leader of ACT! for America, the hate group that campaigned against Ahmed’s nomination, claims an American Muslim “cannot be a loyal citizen” and that Islam is the “real enemy.” Brigitte Gabriel once told the Australian Jewish News: “Every practicing Muslim is a radical Muslim.”

When asked whether Americans should “resist Muslims who want to seek political office in this nation,” Gabriel said: “Absolutely. If a Muslim who has — who is — a practicing Muslim who believes the word of the Koran to be the word of Allah, who abides by Islam, who goes to mosque and prays every Friday, who prays five times a day — this practicing Muslim, who believes in the teachings of the Koran, cannot be a loyal citizen to the United States of America.”

Gabriel also stated: “America and the West are doomed to failure in this war unless they stand up and identify the real enemy: Islam.”

SEE: Islam’s March Against the West

One of ACT! for America’s Florida representatives recently bragged in a YouTube video that he desecrated the Quran, Islam’s revealed text, and urinates in the washing stations Muslims use to perform their ritual ablutions (wudu) for prayer.

A complaint has been filed with the FBI alleging harassment of Florida Muslims by ACT! for America.

CAIR is America’s largest Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization. Its mission is to enhance the understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding.
