We present radial velocities for 14 stars on the California & Carnegie PlanetSearch target list that reveal new companions. One star, HD 167665, was fitwith a definitive Keplerian orbit leading to a minimum mass for the companionof 50.3 Mjup at a separation from its host of ~5.5 AU. Incomplete or limitedphase coverage for the remaining 13 stars prevents us from assigning to themunique orbital parameters. Instead, we fit their radial velocities withKeplerian orbits across a grid of fixed values for Msini and period, P, and usethe resulting reduced chi-square surface to place constraints on Msini, P, andsemimajor axis, a. This technique allowed us to restrict Msini below the browndwarf -- stellar mass boundary for an additional 4 companions (HD 150554, HD8765, HD 72780, HD 74014). If the combined 5 companions are confirmed as browndwarfs, these results would comprise the first major catch of such objects fromour survey beyond ~3 AU.
