	Obituary: Ray Brown, acclaimed jazz bassist from Pittsburgh
		Ray Matthews Brown, whose almost Zen-like approach to playing his instrument produced throbbing, aching music that could hush the house, began his musical career as a pianist.
		Brown worked in "territory" bands of the sort that were common before World War II, starting out with the Jimmy Hinsely Sextet and moving on to the Snookum Russell Band.
		Brown moved to California and appeared regularly on the "Merv Griffin Show." He also was the bassist for many Frank Sinatra TV specials and was former director of the Monterey Jazz Festival.

		Ray Brown: The grand jury is sitting in the District of Columbia, it consists of 23 citizens chosen somewhat at random from the District.
		Ray Brown: The normal function of a grand jury is to determine if there is "some evidence" to believe that X committed a crime and to indict where appropriate; however, there is some constitutional thinking that a sitting President can't be indicted, only impeached and tried in the Senate.
		Ray Brown: On the last point - Gore is a stiff, Clinton was key to the Democratic Leadership Council and the resurrection of a dying Democratic party.

		RAY F. [¶1] Ray F. Brown appeals from the judgment of a conviction of operating under the influence of alcohol in violation of 29-A M.R.S.A. (1996){1} entered in the Superior Court (Penobscot County, Mead, J.), following his conditional plea of guilty entered pursuant to M.R. Crim.
		Brown challenges the Superior Court's affirmance of the decision of the District Court (Millinocket, Gunther, J.) denying his motion to suppress all evidence obtained from the stop of his vehicle.
		Brown contends that the court committed clear error in holding that the stop of his vehicle was based on a reasonable, articulable suspicion that Brown was engaged in a civil traffic violation.

	Tributes Ray Brown
		Ray Brown, one of the true legends of jazz, died in his sleep July 3, ending one of the greatest and lengthiest careers in music.
		Ray was frustrated by the piano and the number of pianists at school, so he turned to the bass when his father couldn't afford a trombone.
		Ray Brown's discography is so extensive it is hard to recommend only a few things in the space allotted, but you could start with the early classic Gillespie sides from 1945, most any of his trio sides with Oscar Peterson and some dates with Jazz at the Philharmonic or Ella Fitzgerald.

	MILESAGO - Groups & Solo Artists - Ray Brown & The Whispers
		Ray Brown & the Whispers were in the vanguard of the first wave of Australian beat pop, from 1964-67, and during their brief career they were one of the most successful and celebrated bands in the country.
		Ray grew up in Hurstville and left school at the age of fifteen to become a clerk in the Customs Department, but he had a passion for singing and in early 1964 the Nocturnes, who were keen to move into the booming 'beat' style, replaced Bobby with local vocalist Ray.

	SoundStage! Ray Brown, Monty Alexander, Russell Malone
		Brown always tended toward the subtle touch, as opposed to the pyrotechnic gesture, in his playing, but, as he showed here, he could get up and boogie when called upon.
		Brown’s bass is deep, full, and appropriately woody, Malone’s guitar sounds like the hollowbody electric that it is, and Alexander’s piano has the size and heft of the real thing.
		Ray Brown may no longer shuffle among us on this mortal coil, but his recorded legacy is still with us, still making music for our enjoyment.

	The Hindu : First X-ray from brown dwarf observed
		The energy emitted in the brown dwarf flare was comparable to a small solar flare and is believed to come from a twisted magnetic field.
		The brown dwarf, named LP 944-20, is about 500 million years old and has a mass that is about 60 times that of Jupiter, or 6 percent of the sun's mass.
		Since brown dwarfs have too little mass to sustain significant nuclear reactions in their cores, their primary source of energy is the release of gravitational energy as they slowly contract - at a rate of a few inches per year.

	Discovery Of The First X-Ray Emitting Brown Dwarf
		The brown dwarf, called Cha Ha 1, is a very young member of the Chamaeleon dark cloud number I (Cha I), a star forming region located 550 light-years away from us.
		It is precisely their very low luminosity what makes brown dwarfs so difficult to detect: it was not until late 1995 that the first bona-fide brown dwarf was identified.
		It had been suggested, on the other hand, that the fact that brown dwarfs cannot sustain nuclear reactions in their cores may have a negative impact on the process that generates the magnetic field.
