New Orleans Brass
The New Orleans Brass was a hockey team in the ECHL from 1997 to 2002.
The team was at one time affiliated with the San Jose Sharks.
Home games were played first at the New Orleans Municipal Auditorium( until October 29, 1999) and then at the New Orleans Arena.
In 2002, the NBA's Charlotte Hornets moved to New Orleans and became the primary tenant in the arena.
The New Orleans Hornets( now the New Orleans Pelicans) pressured the state of Louisiana, which owns the arena, into demanding that the Brass bear the expense of converting the arena to and from basketball and hockey as a condition of staying in the arena.
The expense was more than the Brass' ownership was willing to pay.
The Municipal Auditorium had recently replaced its floor, and in the process removed its ice plant.
Without a suitable home, the Brass folded.
The only head coach of the Brass was Ted Sator.
The team's first GM was Larry Kish who was succeeded by Dan Belisle and owned by future New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin.
The Brass made the playoffs every year, winning three series, two in the 1998 – 99 season( the same season the Brass earned its worst record), and one in the 2000 – 01 season, putting the Brass in the conference semifinals and quarterfinals, respectively.
The principal rivals of the Brass were the Louisiana IceGators and the Mississippi Sea Wolves( Biloxi, MS).
The Baton Rouge Kingfish were another, less successful intrastate rival.
The team's games were broadcast in New Orleans on radio station WSMB( now WWWL).
The first radio voice of the Brass was Steve Carroll, who is now the radio voice of the Anaheim Ducks.

The Brass Ring
The Brass Ring was a group of American studio musicians led by saxophonist and arranger Phil Bodner.
They were based in New York City and were stylistically similar to The Tijuana Brass, The Brass Buttons, the Baja Marimba Band and other "Now Sound" instrumental pop groups from the 1960s, although the twin-sax sound more closely resembles Billy Vaughn, whose biggest hits were in the 1950s.
In addition to several successful albums for ABC/Dunhill Records, they had two hit singles.
The first, "The Phoenix Love Theme (Senza Fine)", was used in the movie "The Flight of the Phoenix", and hit #32 on the U.S. "Billboard" Hot 100 in 1966.
The second, "The Dis-Advantages of You", written by Mitch Leigh, was used in a series of commercials for Benson & Hedges cigarettes, and hit #36 in March 1967.
Numerous other singles hit Billboard's Easy Listening chart, and a non-chart single, "Love In The Open Air", is prized by collectors, as it is a cover of a little-known composition by Paul McCartney.
The group recorded until at least 1972 on Enoch Light's Project 3 label.

The Brass Check
The Brass Check is a muckraking exposé of American journalism by Upton Sinclair published in 1919.
It focuses mainly on newspapers and the Associated Press wire service, along with a few magazines.
Other critiques of the press had appeared, but Sinclair reached a wider audience with his personal fame and lively, provocative writing style.
Among those critiqued was William Randolph Hearst, who made routine use of yellow journalism in his widespread newspaper and magazine business.
Sinclair called" The Brass Checkthe most important and most dangerous book I have ever written."
The University of Illinois Press released a new edition of the book in 2003, which contains a preface by Robert W. McChesney and Ben Scott.
The text is also freely available on the Internet, as Sinclair opted not to copyright the text in an effort to maximize its readership.
For much of Sinclair's career he was known as a" two book author": for writing" The Jungle" and" The Brass Check."
Sinclair organized ten printings of" The Brass Check" in its first decade and sold over 150,000 copies.
Project Brass Ring
Project Brass Ring was a 1950 United States Air Force project designed to deliver an early hydrogen bomb to within 2 miles of a target using a drone version of the B- 47 Stratojet, which would be guided by a mother ship and destroyed in the detonation.
This project was given considerable support, due to uncertainty concerning the possible yield of a hydrogen bomb, then estimated to lie between 10 and 40 megatons.
Brass Ring was meant to provide an interim nuclear weapons delivery capability while more capable( and less costly) systems were under development.
The fear and concern surrounding the Soviet Union's development of its own nuclear weapons capability was the impetus to quickly begin the project.
Project Brass Ring was similar in concept to the World War II Operation Aphrodite.

Brass ring
A brass ring is a small grabbable ring that a dispenser presents to a carousel rider during the course of a ride.
Usually there are a large number of iron rings and one brass one, or just a few.
It takes some dexterity to grab a ring from the dispenser as the carousel rotates.
The iron rings can be tossed at a target as an amusement.
Typically, getting the brass ring gets the rider some sort of prize when presented to the operator.
The prize often is a free repeat ride.
The phrase" to grab the brass ring", sometimes used figuratively, is derived from this device.
