Pop Teen Band Push Play Performs Live In New York City To The Delight Of Teenage Fans

New York, New York (PRWEB) March 26, 2009

Teen band sensation, Push Play rocked the house with a selection of their newest songs this past Saturday to a sold out crowd of young teen agers who couldn't seem to get enough of Push Play's unique youthful sound. The popular band headlined a concert charity event at the legendary Hammerstein Ballroom in the heart of New York City on March 20th. The concert raised thousands of dollars for the well established and highly publicized charity foundation, One Is Greater Than None. The evening was filled with performances by a few bands Push Play being the last to go on. It proved challenging for the devoted Push Play fans to quell their excitement for the band as was evidenced when Push Play finished and tried to get off stage at the end of their planned set. Push Play had to stay on stage and perform a few encores before the fans finally calmed down from their adrenal rush to allow the band members to leave the stage.

"It's always an exhilarating experience for me and the other band members to perform on stage and to have people connect with our live music," said lead singer of Push Play, CJ Baran. "Charity performances for us are particularly meaningful as we have always stayed very close to our vision for the band which is to reach out to others who may be in need and help them to feel good about themselves and the world we live in today," Baran went on to say.

As part of their charitable campaign, members of the band initiated the Push Play for Purpose campaign which has received national recognition for its dedication to helping those in need. The four teenage band members that make up Push Play (CJ Baran, Steve Scarola, Nick DeTurris and Derek Ries) have passion for their charity endeavors which they consistently contribute to through Push Play for Purpose. Charities that have benefited from their organization include the Leukemia and Lymphoma Foundation, Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, Habitat for Humanity, Invisible Children and the Susan G. Koman Foundation among others. Push Play was particularly happy to be part of One Is Greater Than None which was created by eight teen girls whose goal was to inspire individuals to believe that any contribution, no matter how small has value. The teen led foundation has gone on to raise much needed funds and help for impoverished children in Africa.

"Push Play was delighted to donate their performance in New York City to the charity One Is Greater Than None as it was founded by teenagers who themselves had a purpose," said one of Push Play's managers, Sue Baran. "The Push Play for Purpose campaign is happy that the evening brought in over $ 68,000 to a worthy charity and that the band is making a difference in people's lives and entertaining them at the same time."

Teen magazines were there covering the red carpet event at the Hammerstein Ballroom making sure they captured the excitement for their readers. Look for reviews, articles and mentions in J-14, Elle Girl, Cosmo Girl, TMZ, Teen, Alloy, OK! Magazine, Paper Magazine and even Reader's Digest.

As what is becoming typical of Push Play, CJ Baran and other members of the band decided to throw a party the next day in Manhattan for the organizers of the Hammerstein Ballroom event, the other performers from the evening and of course for the fans. Other bands that performed that evening included Saving Jane, Tamarama (with Jay from MTV's The City), Graham Colton and WOW!. Fans were excited to have the opportunity to meet members of Push Play and hang out with them for a bit.

Push Play is currently putting their final touches together on their highly anticipated second album FOUND which will be released this summer. For more information on the band you can visit them at http://www.pushplaysite.com or http://www.myspace.com/pushplayrox

YouTube?s First Live Hair Transplant Attracts Record-Breaking 70,000 Viewers

Boca Raton, Florida (PRWEB) December 07, 2011

Over 70,000 consumers tuned in to the first ever YouTube Live hair transplant on November 18, as renowned hair restoration physician Alan J. Bauman, M.D. performed a second NeoGraft Follicular-Unit Extraction (FUE) on weblebrity Kevin ?Nalts? Nalty. The live hair transplant surgery was broadcasted live on YouTube?s new, interactive webcast platform, YouTube Live, and simulcasted on Spencer Kobren?s The Bald Truth radio show, Andrew Zarian?s GFQ web radio network, Ustream, JustinTV, Switcher radio, iTunes radio and other outlets.

?This first live hair transplant on YouTube was a remarkable success in terms of total viewership and audience engagement,? said Dr. Bauman. ?Broadcasting this procedure proved to be an incredibly effective way to reach and educate the public, and we were amazed by the sheer number of viewer comments and questions about hair transplants, the NeoGraft FUE procedure and other hair loss treatments. This event proved there is a considerable demand out there for patient education and this kind of interactive format.?

Best-selling author and prominent hair loss patient advocate Spencer Kobren, who hosted the live call-in segment, noted, "As a prominent IAHRS-accepted member and a surgeon well-known for cutting-edge technology and exceptional results, it was no surprise that Dr. Bauman's recent YouTube live hair transplant surgery webcast was our most-watched, most-interactive and most-responded to event ever.? Mr. Kobren went on to say, ?In a field where so many myths and misconceptions abound and surgeons' abilities and results vary greatly, Dr. Bauman helps us educate hair loss patients that top-tier hair transplant surgeons can reliably provide comfortable, effective, minimally-invasive procedures that yield consistently natural results."

The live hair transplant webcast allowed viewers unique access to a typically private ?event,? becoming active participants in the surgical process like never before, including a live Q&A with Bauman and Nalty during the actual procedure. Viewers were also able to follow, connect and comment through social media channels Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn during the broadcast.

Bauman brought in a webcast production crew, headed by David Waters, to coordinate the live broadcast from the operation room. Waters has 17 years of experience in television news production, including such networks as Discovery Channel and PBS.

?During the live surgery, the question I got asked the most about was the pain, but really, the procedure was pretty much pain free,? Nalty said. ?I think viewers were surprised by how engaging the process is and that hair transplants are more art than science.? Nalty, who had previously documented and shared his first NeoGraft FUE hair transplant with Bauman in 2009, invited his ~250,000 subscribers and the rest of the general public to join him again in the operating room in hopes of de-stigmatizing hair transplantation and clarifying common misconceptions about hair loss treatments.

NeoGraft FUE and Other New Treatment Options:

Nalty?s hair transplant was performed using the state-of-the-art NeoGraft FUE hair transplant. NeoGraft FUE is the most advanced, minimally-invasive hair transplant procedure to-date. Instead of surgically removing a large strip of donor skin from the back of the head, which can lead to a tell-tale linear scar, the NeoGraft FUE mechanically extracts follicular-units one by one, requiring no stitches or scalpel and resulting in greater comfort, less downtime and no linear scarring.

?FUE is an extremely effective surgical option for patients that allows for a quicker, more comfortable recovery, less post-op activity restrictions, as well as avoiding the tell-tale linear scar associated with traditional hair transplants,? said Bauman, who also cautions patients about the recent proliferation of hair transplant surgeons without adequate training and experience because ?a poorly planned hair transplant is hard to undo.?

Bauman, a diplomate of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery and one of the most experienced FUE hair transplant surgeons in the world, was the first to demonstrate ?live? the FUE method of hair transplantation at the 2003 International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery?s Orlando Live Surgery Workshop and the first to demonstrate the NeoGraft FUE device at the ISHRS Orlando Live Surgery Workshop in 2010.

In addition to NeoGraft, there are several other new technologies available at Bauman Medical Group that are bringing new hope to the estimated 100 million American men and women with hair loss:

????PRP Autologel? - The FDA recently approved Autologel? Platelet Rich Plasma, or PRP, (Cytomedix) as an advanced wound healing treatment. Dr. Bauman routinely uses Autologel? to accelerate and improve hair transplant recovery.
????Ouchless? Needle - A new syringe attachment uses a vapocoolant spray aimed at making needle injections totally painless. Bauman recently used the Ouchless Needle (BellaNovus) to perform the world?s first ?ouchless? hair transplant.
????Latisse? - This eyelash growth product from Allergan stimulates hair follicles to increase length and thickness by mimicking body hormones known as ?prostaglandins.? It?s FDA approved for the eyelashes, and in clinical trials for use on the scalp. Bauman has been prescribing the treatment off-label for male and female pattern hair loss cases and is already seeing positive results.
????LaserCap? and Hand-Held Lasers ? In recent years,low-level laser therapy has become more accepted in the treatment of hair loss, evidenced by FDA clearances of one specific brand of comb-laser, an in-office clinical device and a dramatic increase in prescriptions by Hair Restoration Physicians. The first completely cordless and hands-free laser ?hat? also recently became available and aims 224 laser diodes at the scalp.
????Hypothermosol (BiolifeSolutions) ? Is an advanced storage solution used to hold the hair follicles before they are transplanted, it is designed to preserve the follicles and maintain their viability for healthy transplantation.

?The science behind hair loss is advancing at an amazing rate and promising new treatments are being developed each year,? Bauman explains. ?Consumer interest is also higher than ever which is creating some exciting opportunities for the industry."

Since the live hair transplant event received overwhelmingly positive feedback, Bauman is already looking into future opportunities to combine new technology and social media platforms for patient-education outreach campaigns. ?We?ve had an unbelievable response to the event and we plan to go even bigger next time, which will include HD syndication on LiveStream.?
