Binomial coefficient
I will write to you on Talk:Binomial coefficient. Oleg Alexandrov 22:33, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * I wrote more there. Oleg Alexandrov 23:03, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * And I wrote more... Oleg Alexandrov 23:15, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

More welcome
I think we differ in nothing but whether the emphasis should be on more elementary stuff first, or whether one should go general fully upfront. I suggest we let this cool down a bit.

Once again, welcome aboard. You might consider putting WikiProject Mathematics on your watchlist, as it is there where the math people talk all kinds of issues related to math on Wikipedia. There is also a list of participants to sign on. Some good reading is How to write a Wikipedia article on Mathematics — the product of more than three years of collaborative thinking.

Polya enumeration theorem
On February 1 you mentioned on the talk page that you would create a Spanish-language stub. Did you ever do that, and if so, could you by any chance add the link to the Spanish page, please? --N Shar (talk · contribs) 02:02, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

 * I did around that time (and moved related links there) but it was then removed by some Spanish user. Check up the history log. Maxal (talk) 06:42, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Pascal's rule
Why the need to delete the proof of (n+1 over k+1) = (n over k) + (n over k+1)? This particular expression is not mentioned in the Pascal's rule article, the proof mentioned there is (n over k) = (n-1 over k) + (n-1 over k-1). So I cannot se why it really is neccesary to delete this part? Emul0c (talk) 10:13, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

 * (n+1 over k+1) = (n over k) + (n over k+1) and (n over k) = (n-1 over k) + (n-1 over k-1) is exactly the same identity with just shifted (increased/decreased by 1) indices. As of deleting the part of binomial coefficient article - there are two reasons: 1) This proof (actually, even a couple of proofs) of the Pascal's rule is given in the Pascal's rule article, there is no need to repeat it/them in binomial coefficient - it's enough just to point out that the main article on this topic is the Pascal's rule one. 2) The binomial coefficient article is already too heavy to contain excessive material.

Graph isomorphism
Thank you for your interest in improving wikipedia articles. Please keep in mind that wikipedia is encyclopedia, not a web directory. Adding external links to someone's individual webpages is generally discouraged, unless the person in question is a known expert in the area. Twri (talk) 21:04, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

 * OK, it makes sense. Maxal (talk) 21:09, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

 * [[Image:Nuvola apps important.svg|25px]] You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 22:50, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Stop reverting my changes without explanation. Apply the three-revert rule to yourself. Maxal (talk) 22:51, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

 * The count of reverts is:
 * User:Maxal: 5 or 6
 * User:Arthur Rubin: 3
 * User:SemBubenny: 1
 * User:Twri: 1
 * User:David Eppstein: 1
 * I won't revert again, but it would appreciated if you would self-revert your last revert, as you have now been warned that you were already in violation. — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 22:57, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

 * My reverts were about different issues (and three of them are caused by you!). One issue was resolved, thanks to Twri, and should not be counted towards recent reverts. Maxal (talk) 22:59, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

 * You may have a legitimate concern, but you still need to discuss it, because others clearly disagree and will not allow you to add the link unilaterally. You need to argue for its inclusion on the talk page. Dcoetzee 23:44, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

 * The explanations first should have came from those who delete information, disregarding in a single mouse click much more significant efforts spent for collecting, formatting and bringing in this information. Anyway, I've started a discussion in Talk:Graph isomorphism. Maxal (talk) 00:24, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Actually that's not how it works - see BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. If someone disagrees with your change, it's always best to discuss it, unless they were very clearly mistaken. Dcoetzee 02:13, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm responding to a report at WP:AN3 regarding your edit warring. In your favour I see that you have not reverted since the 3RR warning, and have taken the issue to the talk page. You should note that WP:3RR is not an entitlement, and editors may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically break 3RR. Note also that it does not matter if the reverts are of different material. If you continue edit warring on this, you will certainly be blocked. Kevin (talk) 02:54, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

3RR warning again
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 02:09, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

 * And again you're the one who is opposing in the edit war and issuing me a 3RR warning. I should be doing the same for you... Maxal (talk) 03:41, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Smith septuple
Thanks for adding my Smith septuple to Smith number. I didn't want to do it myself for conflict of interest reasons but had considered to suggest it. PrimeHunter (talk) 01:29, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Sure. Maxal (talk) 16:10, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

Citation template
Hi, I see that you have edited some references in coin problem to use the template.I will not revert your edits, but please note that it was not only a waste of your time, but actually a significant *dis*improvement, as the reference became harder to read --- both in the wikisource and in the reader's view. The compact citation format 37(10):1-23 was invented by technical journal publishers *to save paper*. The extended format "volume 37, issue 10, pages 1-23" of the original citations is more suited to the medium and readership of Wikipedia. There are several other disadvantages of the cite templates, but that will do for now. Like many (too many) other features in Wikipedia, the cite templates were created by a handful of enthusiastic editors without a clear analysis of cost/benefits, and posted by them as if they were a "consensus" --- which they most emphatically are *not*. Then editors started using them in the mistaken impression that they are somehow good for Wikipedia --- which they most emphatically are *not*. I used to do that myself until I realized the sheer idiocy of the templaets and what "consensus" usually means in the Wikipedia guidelines. So my advice is that you format the references by hand and forget the "cite" templates. It will save you a lot of time and grief, and you will get better-looking refs. All the best, --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 02:13, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Personally I see no problems with cite template format. But if you think it needs to be improved, please raise this question in Template talk:Cite journal. Maxal (talk) 05:32, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Merging article Bracelet to Necklace (combinatorics)
I'm recommending that the article on Bracelet (combinatorics) be merged into Necklace (combinatorics).

I saw that you had previously edited one (or both) of these article. You're invited to participate in the discussion here: Talk:Necklace (combinatorics).

I have marked you as a reviewer
I have added the "reviewers" property to your user account. This property is related to the Pending changes system that is currently being tried. This system loosens page protection by allowing anonymous users to make "pending" changes which don't become "live" until they're "reviewed". However, logged-in users always see the very latest version of each page with no delay. A good explanation of the system is given in this image. The system is only being used for pages that would otherwise be protected from editing.

If there are "pending" (unreviewed) edits for a page, they will be apparent in a page's history screen; you do not have to go looking for them. There is, however, a list of all articles with changes awaiting review at Special:OldReviewedPages. Because there are so few pages in the trial so far, the latter list is almost always empty. The list of all pages in the pending review system is at Special:StablePages.

To use the system, you can simply edit the page as you normally would, but you should also mark the latest revision as "reviewed" if you have looked at it to ensure it isn't problematic. Edits should generally be accepted if you wouldn't undo them in normal editing: they don't have obvious vandalism, personal attacks, etc. If an edit is problematic, you can fix it by editing or undoing it, just like normal. You are permitted to mark your own changes as reviewed.

The "reviewers" property does not obligate you to do any additional work, and if you like you can simply ignore it. The expectation is that many users will have this property, so that they can review pending revisions in the course of normal editing. However, if you explicitly want to decline the "reviewer" property, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. — Carl (CBM · talk) 12:33, 18 June 2010 (UTC) — Carl (CBM · talk) 13:03, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Irrationality of the MRB constant
Hi maxal. I'm glad to see you helping improve the MRB constant article. You asked about the irrationality of the constant. That got me thinking and I wrote Steven Finch ( Clay Mathematics Institute Book Fellow and an expert on rationality and transcendence of constants), and he wrote me back with the following suggestion:

>Hi,

>Such proofs can be extremely difficult. Recall, for example,

>that the irrationality of the Euler-Mascheroni constant remains

>an open problem! I think you should say likewise for MRB,

>unless someone has actually written down a rigorous proof.

>Steve

Perhaps someone can explain that, somehow, in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marburns (talk • contribs) 19:38, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

 * If irrationality is not proved, it has to be stated as such. It is at least misleading to call a number irrational if its irrationality is not proved. Maxal (talk) 11:30, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Per WP:AB, in clear-cut case, I corrected the statement concerning irrationality.Marvin Ray Burns (talk) 20:12, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

The "since then" section to the MRB constant article
From your edit summary I take it that you thought the references used in saying the MRB constant has been put in tables at such and such place are not widely accepted in a scholarly atmosphere. However, I think they are more like original source references and are therefore useful. They aren’t merely telling you that someone in authority said the constant was used in those tables, but rather one can check for him or herself that it was in there. Furthermore, those were not just tables that were copies of Wikipedia’s table (like there are many of now) but they were developed before the MRB constant was put on Wikipedia and thus show how the knowledge of the MRB constant was passed around before it was on Wiki. In fact, at my personal website I have a strong Iranian following from the Iranian table. I’m not saying you really should restore those lines that you deleted; I’m only asking that you consider either doing that or perhaps adding a better clause to the article to convey the same information. Best wishes, Marvin Ray Burns (talk) 05:46, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

 * First, those tables are not WP:reliable sources. Second, it is not notable whether the constant is mentioned there. Maxal (talk) 12:06, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Irrational number page
Hi agin Maxal. I was wondering if you thought the MRB constant could be included in the Open questions section of the Irrational number page where there it says the following: It is not known whether πe, π/e, 2e, πe, π√ 2, ln π, Catalan's constant, or the Euler–Mascheroni gamma constant γ are irrational.

I have posed the issue of the irrationallity of MRB at http://www.mapleprimes.com/posts/101425-Could-The-MRB-Constant-Be-Rational. Well that's all for now, Marvin Ray Burns (talk) 16:44, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Reversion of your edits in the article Wieferich prime
I reverted your last contribution to the article Wieferich prime. Please see that articles talk page for my reasoning behind this. Also note that I assume good faith on your part. Feel free to discuss. Thanks. Toshio Yamaguchi (talk) 10:50, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for clarification
Thanks for clarifying the last entry in the 'Properties of Wieferich primes' section. I guessed it was meant to say ≡ rather than =, but wasn't 100% sure, since I didn't add it. Cheers. Toshio Yamaguchi (talk) 19:42, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

A Barnstar for you

 * Thanks! Maxal (talk) 05:55, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Sources moved
Hi Maxal,

I copied some of the sources from Wolstenholme prime over to Regular prime, namely those about irregular primes, which are not relevant to Wolstenholme primes. The article Regular prime might look a bit messy now. I will try to clean that up a bit. Toshio Yamaguchi (talk) 11:20, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I cleaned that up and moved some of the sources to the appropriate sections. Think it looks better now. Toshio Yamaguchi (talk) 14:45, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Talkback

Dorais and Klyve definition of a near Wieferich prime
It currently says the third column is $$\left|\tfrac{\omega(p)}{p}\right|\times 10^{14}$$. Shouldn't that be $$\left|\tfrac{A}{p}\right|\times 10^{14}$$? -- Toshio Yamaguchi (tlk−ctb) 17:20, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

 * I don't think so - $$\omega(p)$$ in the second definition is different from A used in the first definition of a near-Wieferich prime. Maxal (talk) 17:51, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
 * We can rewrite the second definition though in the same manner as the first definition using, say, B in place of A. Maxal (talk) 17:53, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

 * When I take for example the near Wieferich prime 765760560131939 (the first near Wieferich prime in the table in the paper with A ≠ 0) and compute $$\tfrac{76}{765760560131939}$$ (which corresponds to $$\left| \tfrac{A}{p}\right|$$) I get approximately $$9.92477 \times 10^{-14}$$. Multiplying that value with $$10^{14}$$ I get 9.92477..., which thus corresponds to $$\left|\tfrac{A}{p}\right|\times 10^{14}$$ and would be the value in the third column of the second table. So what exactly is the difference between $$\omega(p)$$ and A? (Note that Dorais and Klyve also use A in their paper, see for example page 11). The only difference between their A and that in the previous definition (used by Crandal, Dilcher, Pomerance and Knauer, Richstein) seems to be that the exponent on the left side of the congruence isn't divided by 2. I believe that is the reason why for example when checking 6517506365514181 with wwww I get an A value of −29, while Dorais and Klyve get +58, which is exactly 2 × |−29|. I agree that we should perhaps use B in the second table. -- Toshio Yamaguchi (tlk−ctb) 21:46, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

 * In our cases (when A is relatively small as compared to p), we have $$\omega(p) = 2A$$ as you noticed. The reason is that if $$2^{\tfrac{p-1}{2}} \equiv 1 + Ap\pmod{p^2}$$, then $$2^{p-1} \equiv \left(2^{\tfrac{p-1}{2}}\right)^2 \equiv (1 + Ap)^2\equiv 1+2Ap\pmod{p^2}$$ and thus $$\tfrac{2^{p-1}-1}{p}\equiv 2A\pmod{p}$$.

Repunits
Hi Maxal,

In your contribution on Repunits, you make the following statement:

"Any positive multiple of the repunit Rn(b) contains at least n nonzero digits in base b."

I found this statement intriguing and not at all obvious. Is this an old, classic result? Do you have a reference for it?

Anza (singer)

Anza Ohyama (大山 アンザ), also known as simply Anza (stylized in all caps), is a Japanese singer and theater actress best known as vocalist of the heavy metal band Head Phones President and for playing Sailor Moon in thirteen separate musical productions.

Early life
Anza was born in Cape Town, South Africa, to a White South African mother and a Japanese father. When they moved to Nagasaki, Japan in her childhood, Anza was not fluent in the Japanese language and was bullied because of her foreign appearance. She has a younger sister named Chiho who played Sailor Jupiter in Sailor Moon musicals.

Career
Anza began modeling in junior high school and was invited to shoot a commercial in Nagoya. At fifteen, she made her acting debut on NHK's Chūgakusei Nikki. She made her music debut in 1992 as a member of the pop idol group Sakurakko Club and released a number of singles with them. She and Ayako Morino, also of Sakurakko Club fame, were in a spin-off duo called Momo. They released two singles in 1993 and 1994.

With Anza joining the Sailor Moon musicals in 1993, she appeared regularly on the CD releases for the musicals, both in solo and group songs. From her five-year period as Sailor Moon, she can be heard on the "La Soldier" single (released prior to the very first musical), the first five Memorial Album of the Musical releases, as well as three of the eight compilation albums which have been released since the musicals' conception. In 1994, Moon Lips, a group of actresses from the musicals including Anza, provided vocals for the Sailor Moon anime's theme song "Moonlight Densetsu". It was used for the show's third and fourth seasons, known as Sailor Moon S and Sailor Moon Super S, respectively.

Shortly following her graduation from the Sailor Moon musicals in 1998, she released a solo single entitled "Dream" under the Sony Music Entertainment Japan record label. "Dream" was also featured as the ending theme song for the TV show Famitsu Wave. In April 1999, she released "Tobira wo Akete" (under Victor Entertainment), a single which was used as a theme song for the anime Cardcaptor Sakura. In September 1999, Anza provided vocals for "Ai wo Shizumeteru", the ending theme song to the PlayStation game Psychic Force 2. Another of her songs, "Mienai Chizu", was used as an insert song in episode 68 of Cardcaptor Sakura.

In 1999, Anza went in a completely different direction with her music. She formed Head Phones President with brothers Hiro and Mar, who previously helped her on her solo work. They are a heavy metal band, with occasional screamed vocals interspersed with soft melodic singing. Anza is often introduced as being on "vocals and visuals". They have referred to their music as "'negative', due to their emotional lyrics that stem from traumatic experiences, [but] believe their music expresses their struggles in a hopeful manner." A lot of the lyrics come from Anza; the song "Alienblood" represents her own troubles growing up in Japan as mixed race.

In 2003, Toho recorded four of its Les Misérables musicals live, and they released four double-disc albums (available only by special order directly from Toho). Anza appears on the light blue album with Kazutaka Ishii as Jean Valjean.

In 2006, Anza was signed onto the Universal Music Japan and released her debut single with them: "Kanata e". It was used as the second ending theme song for the anime Glass no Kantai.

In late 2008, she joined the rock band Vitamin-Q along with Masami Tsuchiya, Kazuhiko Katō, Gota Yashiki and Rei Ohara. However, after Katō's suicide on October 17, 2009, the group ceased activity. In 2009, she also appeared in Vamps' music video for their cover of Shampoo's "Trouble".

In 2011, Anza started a webshop in collaboration with Riho, "Raz -Rabbit" is a shop of clothes and accessories. On May 1, 2011, Anza performed a solo show in support of 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami victims. At the show, named Anza's Box, she sang songs from the Sailor Moon, Gift and Les Misérables musicals, as well as her solo career. Misako Iwana (from Sailor Moon), Manabu Oda (from Gift) and members of Head Phones President also participated. On December 24, Anza performed the solo show Anza Xmas Live at the Live & Cafe Bar Rocky in Tokyo. The show had participation of Tomo (key), Hiro (guitar), Norio Yoshida (bass), Sakaguchi Masaru (percussion) and Maddie as a special guest. In addition to the songs from the previous show, she sang Christmas songs dressed in a Santa Claus costume.

In late 2012, Anza was featured on the song "Unmei no Megami" from the group Dragon Guardian, at the album The Best of Dragon Guardian Saga. Since 2013, Anza has performed as a DJ sporadically, alone or with her bandmate Narumi. On May 24, 2014, Anza celebrated her 22 years of career in the show Anza Solo Live with participation of musicians Kato Tomoko, Hiro and Masaru Sakaguchi, in addition to special guests Okuyama Momoko, Iwana Misako (formerly Kotani Misako), Oda Manabu, Haruka (Rouse Garden) and Fujiwara Yuki. On sale at the concert was Anza Book, celebrating her 22-year career, and a new T-shirt designed by Anza's collaboration brand RAZ.

The music of Head Phones President was the genesis of the rock musical Stand in the World written and directed by Shohei Hayashi, which ran at the Tokyo Arts Center from June 11–13, 2016. The band performed during the show which stars Erika Yamakawa, Manabu Oda and Hikari Ono. For the 15th anniversary of the PGS Special, RAZ had a physical store in Ikebukuro from November 10 to 28. On December 2, 2016, Anza performed the show Anza Solo Live" at New Eight in Kamata, Tokyo. The show featured Misako Iwana, in addition to the musicians Tomo on keyboards and Hiro on guitar. On May 4, 2017, Anza performed the show Anza Birthday Live in the same location, with the same guests, with the additional participation of Manabu Oda. On February 26, 2017, Anza made a guest appearance on JENOFES at Ikebukuro Live Inn Rosa in Tokyo. On March 25, she started the column "Good times for a change ☆" on the Beeast online music magazine.

Anza World, a special live celebrating the 20th anniversary of Anza's colo career and the seventh anniversary of RAZ, was held on July 13, 2018 at Sengawa Fix Hall with guests Misako Iwana and Nana (Reasterisk); musicians Tomo and Hiro; apparel RAZ; DJ Narumi and models Chiro, Area, iPo, Erina Nagano, Misato Koromo, Tetsutaro Otaki and Rika Ayami.

Stage career
Anza has performed in a number of stage productions, the majority of which being musicals. Her first major production was as the leading role of Sailor Moon in the Sailor Moon musicals, commonly referred to as "Sera Myu".

Lady Mary Wroth

Lady Mary Wroth (née Sidney; 18 October 1587 – 1651/3) was an English noblewoman and a poet of the English Renaissance. A member of a distinguished literary family, Lady Wroth was among the first female English writers to have achieved an enduring reputation. Mary Wroth was niece to Mary Herbert née Sidney (Countess of Pembroke and one of the most distinguished women writers and patrons of the 16th century), and to Sir Philip Sidney, a famous Elizabethan poet-courtier.

Biography
Because her father, Robert Sidney, was governor of Flushing, Wroth spent much of her childhood at the home of Mary Sidney, Baynard's Castle in London, and at Penshurst Place. Penshurst Place was one of the great country houses in the Elizabethan and Jacobean period. It was a centre of literary and cultural activity and its gracious hospitality is praised in Ben Jonson's famous poem To Penshurst. During a time when most women were illiterate, Wroth had the privilege of a formal education, which was obtained from household tutors under the guidance of her mother. With her family connections, a career at court was all but inevitable. Wroth danced before Queen Elizabeth on a visit to Penshurst and again in court in 1602. At this time a likeness of her as a girl in a group portrait of Lady Sidney and her children was painted by Marcus Gheeraerts the Younger in 1596, and is now on display at Penshurst. As a young woman, Lady Mary belonged to Queen Anne’s intimate circle of friends and actively participated in masques and entertainments.

On 27 September 1604, King James I married Mary to Sir Robert Wroth of Loughton Hall. The marriage was not happy; there were issues between the two beginning with difficulties over her father’s payment of her dowry. In a letter written to his wife, Sir Robert Sidney described different meetings with Robert Wroth, who was often distressed by the behaviour of Mary shortly after their marriage. Robert Wroth appeared to have been a gambler, philanderer and a drunkard. More evidence of the unhappy union comes from poet and friend Ben Jonson, who noted that ‘my Lady Wroth is unworthily married on a Jealous husband’. Various letters from Lady Mary to Queen Anne also refer to the financial losses her husband had sustained during their time together.

During her marriage, Mary became known for her literary endeavours and also for her performances in several masques. In 1605 she danced at the Whitehall Banqueting House in The Masque of Blackness, which was designed by Ben Jonson and Inigo Jones. Mary Wroth joined the Queen and her friends in the production; all of whom painted their skin black to portray Ethiopian nymphs who called themselves the 'twelve daughters of Niger'. The masque was very successful and was the first in a long series of similar court entertainments. The ‘twelve daughters of Niger’ also appeared in The Masque of Beauty in 1608, also designed by Jonson and Jones. However, despite the success there were some less than favourable reviews, some referring to the women's portrayal of the daughters of Niger as ugly and unconvincing.

In February 1614 Mary gave birth to a son James: a month after this her husband Robert Wroth died of gangrene leaving Mary deeply in debt. Two years later Wroth's son died causing Mary to lose the Wroth estate to John Wroth, the next male heir to the entail. There is no evidence to suggest that Wroth was unfaithful to her husband, but after his death she entered a relationship with her cousin William Herbert, 3rd Earl of Pembroke. Mary and William shared interests in arts and literature and had been childhood friends. They had at least two illegitimate children, a daughter Catherine and son William. In "Herbertorum Prosapia", a seventeenth-century manuscript compilation of the history of the Herbert family (held at the Cardiff Library), Sir Thomas Herbert – a cousin of the Earl of Pembroke – recorded William Herbert's paternity of Wroth's two children.

Mary Wroth's alleged relationship with William Herbert and her children born from that union are referenced in her work, The Countess of Montgomery’s Urania. It is also claimed that William Herbert was a favourite of Queen Anne and that she is the reason he gained the position of the King's Lord Chamberlain in 1615. In Urania, Wroth repeatedly returns to references to a powerful and jealous Queen who exiles her weaker rival from the court in order to obtain her lover, causing many critics to believe this referenced tension between Queen Anne and Wroth over the love of Herbert. The publication of the book in 1621 was a succès de scandale, as it was widely (and with some justification) viewed as a roman à clef. The diffuse plot is organized around relations between Pamphilia and her wandering lover, Amphilanthus, and most critics consider it to contain significant autobiographical elements. Although Wroth claimed that she never had any intention of publishing the book, she was heavily criticized by powerful noblemen for depicting their private lives under the guise of fiction. However, her period of notoriety was brief after the scandal aroused by these allusions in her romance; Urania was withdrawn from sale by December 1621. Two of the few authors to acknowledge this work were Ben Jonson and Edward Denny. Jonson, a friend and colleague of Mary Wroth praised both Wroth and her works in "Sonnet to the noble Lady, the Lady Mary Wroth." Jonson claims that copying Wroth's works he not only became a better poet, but a better lover. Denny on the other hand provides a very negative critique of Wroth's work; he accused her of slander in a satiric poem, calling her a "hermaphrodite" and a "monster". While Wroth returned fire in a poem of her own, the notoriety of the episode may have contributed to her low profile in the last decades of her life. There was also a second half of Urania, which was published for the first time in 1999, the original manuscript of which now resides in the Newberry Library in Chicago. According to Shelia T. Cavanaugh, the second portion of the work was never prepared by Wroth for actual publication and the narrative contains many inconsistencies and is somewhat difficult to read.

After the publication issues surrounding Urania, Wroth left King James's court and was later abandoned by William Herbert. There is little known about Wroth's later years but it is known that she continued to face major financial difficulties for the remainder of her life. Wroth died in either 1651 or 1653. Mary is commemorated in Loughton by the naming of a footpath adjacent to Loughton Hall as Lady Mary's Path.

In popular culture
In 2019, Harvard literary historian Vanessa Braganza identified a copy of Xenophon's Cyropaedia which she found at a rare book fair as Wroth's based on a cryptic monogram cipher on its cover. The letters of the cipher spell the names "Pamphilia" and "Amphilanthus," autobiographical personae for Wroth and Herbert themselves. To date, the Cyropaedia is the only surviving book from Wroth's library except for manuscripts of her own works. The discovery sparked public interest in Wroth's use of ciphers and her previously little-known status as the first female English novelist.

Works

 * Love's Victory (c.1620) – pastoral closet drama.
 * The Countess of Montgomery's Urania (1621) – The first extant prose romance by an English woman.
 * Pamphilia to Amphilanthus (1621) – The first- known sonnet sequence by an English woman.

Ice hockey at the 1952 Winter Olympics

The men's ice hockey tournament at the 1952 Winter Olympics in Oslo, Norway, was the seventh Olympic Championship, also serving as the 19th World Championships and the 30th European Championships. The tournament was mainly played at the Jordal Amfi Arena, as well as the stadiums at Dælenenga (in Oslo), Kadettangen (Sandvika), Marienlyst (Drammen) and Lillestrøm (Lillestrøm). Canada, represented by the Edmonton Mercurys, won its sixth Olympic gold medal and 15th World Championship. Highest finishing European team Sweden won the bronze medal and its sixth European Championship.

The tournament was nearly not played at all. Discussions began in 1950, whether or not ice hockey would be included in the 1952 Winter Olympics. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) sought assurance that participating teams would adhere to its amateur code rather than the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) code, and also wanted to exclude IIHF president Fritz Kraatz from negotiations. IIHF past-president W. G. Hardy, and secretary George Dudley agreed there would be no negotiations on those terms, nor would they repudiate Kraatz. Dudley expected the IIHF to discuss having its own 1952 Ice Hockey World Championships instead, and stated that the Olympics would be a financial failure without the inclusion of hockey. In 1951 it was decided to drop hockey from the Olympic programme because of the controversies surrounding the 1948 Games. However, at the IOC congress in Romania the same year, it was reinstated. W. G. Hardy advocated for the inclusion of the Soviet Union national ice hockey team, provided there is no political interference. Despite his advocacy the Soviet authorities did not apply in time to be included in the tournament.

Teams from Germany and Czechoslovakia rejoined the top level of international hockey this year. Nine nations played a round-robin with the top three nations receiving medals at the end. Swiss newspapers criticized the rough play by Canada and the United States team, and questioned whether hockey should be part of the Olympics. Canadian Amateur Hockey Association president Doug Grimston felt the games were tame compared to North American standards and that the Olympics would suffer without hockey which was its biggest attraction.

After Canada and the United States played to a draw in the final game of the round-robin, which placed the teams first and second respectively in the standings for the gold and silver medals. Had Canada won, the United States would have placed fourth. A newspaper in Moscow charged that a deal had been made to predetermine the outcome and assure the United States of a silver medal and to exclude the Czechoslovakia team from a medal. Canada won their sixth Olympic title, and fifteenth World title. The USA finished one point ahead of both Sweden and Czechoslovakia who both finished with six wins and two losses, additionally, they had an equal goal differential of +29. The Czechoslovaks had defeated the Swedes four to nothing on the final day, and believed that they had won the Olympic bronze, and the European Championship. However, organizers decided that they should play a final tie-breaking game, in which the Swedes overcame a three-goal deficit to win five to three.

Qualification
The 1952 Olympic tournament, also the 1952 World Championship, “Category A,” was open to all teams assigned by the IIHF to Category A for 1952. This was the first Olympic tournament with any type of qualification procedure.

For the purpose of maximizing fan interest and minimizing lopsided games, the IIHF announced in September 1950 a new system to separate teams into Categories A and B for the World Championships, starting in 1951. If not otherwise qualified, the Olympic host nation was guaranteed assignment to Category A for 1951 and 1952.

Teams were assigned to Category A for 1951 that

 * Earned a minimum of three points at both the 1949 and 1950 World Championships.
 * Earned a minimum of three points at either the 1949 or 1950 World Championships and did not play in the other.
 * Did not play at the 1949 and 1950 World Championships, but were selected at IIHF discretion upon entering the 1951 World Championship.

All other teams that played at any of the World Championships from 1949 to 1951 were assigned to Category B for 1951. Because of a rule that required a team to win two consecutive Category B tournaments to earn promotion to Category A, all of these 1951 Category B teams were eliminated from Olympic qualification.

Teams were assigned to Category A for 1952 that

USS Runner

Two ships of the United States Navy have borne the name USS Runner, named for the runner, an amberfish inhabiting subtropical waters, so called for its rapid leaps from the water.

 * The first, USS Runner (SS-275), was a Gato-class submarine, launched in 1942 and lost in 1943.
 * The second, USS Runner (SS-476), was a Tench-class submarine, launched in 1944 and struck in 1971.

BL 7.2-inch howitzer

The BL 7.2-inch howitzer was a heavy artillery piece used by the British Army throughout the Second World War.

History
In 1940 the British Army concluded that the only heavy howitzer available to it, the First World War-era BL 8-inch howitzer, had insufficient range for the conditions of the Second World War. As a stopgap the decision was made to re-line the barrels to a smaller calibre and develop a new range of ammunition to achieve the desired ranges.

Marks I–IV
The 8-inch barrels were re-lined to 7.2 in and the old carriages were retained although the original steel rimmed wheels were replaced with new pneumatic balloon-tyre wheels, as was consistent with the motorisation of the British Army. The new four-charge ammunition increased the range to 16900 yd, but when fired at full charge the recoil caused the weapon to rear violently and jump backwards. To help counter this, two wedge shaped ramps were placed behind the wheels although the gun could sometimes still jump over them, presenting a hazard to crews. Marks I–IV differed only in the original 8-inch barrel used and the type of conversion; some barrels and carriages were also supplied from US First World War stocks.

Mark V
In 1944 several 7.2-inch barrels were placed in the US Carriage M1 used by the 155 mm Long Tom already in use by the British Army, becoming the BL 7.2-inch howitzer Mk V. Few Mk Vs were produced and it was never issued to batteries, as it was apparent that the Carriage M1 was capable of accepting greater recoil forces.

Mark 6
The BL 7.2-inch howitzer Mk 6 (there was a shift from Roman numerals) retained the Carriage M1 of the Mk V but had a new 7.2-inch 6 ft longer barrel than previous marks and a fifth charge was added to the ammunition. The longer barrel and extra charge provided an increase in range to 19600 yd and the new carriage also provided a far more stable platform, greatly increasing accuracy. The Mk 6 was considered a highly effective gun and it was retained in service after the war.

Use
The original marks performed well. The first 7.2-inch howitzers were issued to batteries from mid-1942 and used in action in North Africa and in 1944 following the Normandy landings. In Burma they were provided as a pool of two guns per corps and used by Regiments as required. By the end of 1944, most of the earlier marks had been replaced by the Mk 6. The usual gun tractor for the 7.2-inch howitzer in the early war years was the Scammell Pioneer, although this was never available in sufficient numbers and from late 1943 the Pioneer was supplemented by the Albion CX22S. The BL 7.2-inch howitzer was usually employed in two four-gun batteries (alongside two four-gun batteries equipped with the 155 mm Long Tom) of "Heavy" regiments of Army Group Royal Artillery (AGRA) units, providing heavy fire support for British and Commonwealth troops. The Mk 6 remained in British Army service until the early 1960s.

Indian Army service
In 1957, Indian Army raised 60 Heavy Regiment from the erstwhile J&K Bodyguard Cavalry. The unit was unique in its composition of four batteries with four Mk 6 BL 7.2-inch Howitzers in each battery, unlike the standard three-battery (six guns each) composition of other Indian artillery regiments. The guns of 60 Heavy Regiment saw combat in the 1965 and 1971 wars against Pakistan. In the early 1990s 60 Heavy Regiment was converted to a field regiment and the guns were passed on to 61 Heavy Regiment. They were finally retired from service by the late 1990s.

Cumulus Media Networks

Cumulus Media Networks was an American radio network owned and operated by Cumulus Media. From 2011 until its merger with Westwood One, it controlled many of the radio assets formerly belonging to the American Broadcasting Company (ABC), which was broken up in 2007; Cumulus owned the portion of the network that was purchased by Citadel Broadcasting that year.

The network adopted its final name in September 2011, following Cumulus's acquisition of Citadel; prior to this, it had been known as Citadel Media Networks since April 2009, after licensing the "ABC Radio Networks" name from The Walt Disney Company for nearly two years. ABC now operates ABC Audio which produces mostly short-form audio content for radio stations.

As ABC Radio Networks, it was the penultimate of the original major radio networks to still be owned by its original founding company, CBS Radio being the last. The Mutual Broadcasting System and the NBC Radio Network were both dissolved in 1999 after both were sold to the original Westwood One a decade earlier.

History
Cumulus Media Networks had its origins in an early network set up by WJZ (now WABC) in New York City which provided programs to other stations over Western Union lines.

NBC Blue Network
WJZ radio, originally owned by Westinghouse and its informal network were absorbed into the National Broadcasting Company in 1927. To the parent company Radio Corporation of America, WJZ and affiliates were known as the Blue Network while New York station WEAF and its affiliates (also absorbed into NBC) were known as the "Red Network". On the air, both were identified as "NBC, the National Broadcasting Company." The distinctions between the two networks were, beyond staff and advertisers, mostly a matter of the more popular and established programming appearing on NBC Red.

Both NBC networks were owned by RCA; following a Federal Communications Commission investigation into the network's influence over advertising, strict ownership rules were introduced in 1941. RCA was compelled to sell one network and three local stations.

ABC Radio
RCA put an asking price of $8 million on the Blue network; after two years on the market, it was sold in 1943 to businessman Edward J. Noble, owner of Life Savers candy and the Rexall store chain, for the asking price. After Noble took over, the network identified itself on-air as "The Blue Network". It was officially renamed American Broadcasting Companies, Inc., in June 1945, after the company bought the rights to the name from (what would later become) Storer Broadcasting.

With about 65 affiliates, ABC began with few of the big names and popular shows the other networks offered, so counter-programming became an ABC specialty. Industry policy had been to forbid taped or pre-recorded programs; ABC lured some big-name stars by adapting the tape technology developed in World War II. To add to its programming, ABC bought stations KECA (now KABC) in Los Angeles and WXYZ (now WXYT) in Detroit, the latter home and originator of many popular serials such as The Lone Ranger.

Financially unable to match the larger networks, NBC and CBS, ABC merged with United Paramount Theaters early in 1953. Through the 1950s, network radio declined in popularity, and ABC radio gradually became more oriented to its local stations, especially its two pop-music powerhouses, New York's WABC (formerly WJZ) and Chicago's WLS (which was owned and operated by the Prairie Farmer in a time-share arrangement with ABC-owned WENR until both stations merged in 1954; ABC acquired the Farmer's minority stake in 1959).

Some network shows survived the transition to television: Don McNeill's Breakfast Club, one of the country's first and longest-running morning programs, aired from 1933 to 1968 with Don McNeill as the host. Other long-running ABC programs included the National Barn Dance, running from 1924 to 1960, and Paul Harvey's daily commentary, which ran from 1951 until his death in 2009.

In 1958, ABC collaborated with its sister television network to produce the first national stereophonic sound broadcasts, when it simulcast The Plymouth Show (one of two shows hosted by Lawrence Welk at the time); the TV side broadcast one audio channel and the radio side broadcast the other in synchronization; viewers had to tune into both devices to achieve the stereophonic effect.

John F. Kennedy assassination bulletin
ABC Radio broadcast the first nationwide report of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Kennedy was shot in a motorcade in Dallas, Texas, at 18:30 UTC on November 22, 1963, and ABC Radio's Don Gardiner anchored the network's initial bulletin at 18:36:50 UTC, minutes before any other radio or television network did the same.

A surviving aircheck from New York shortwave station WRUL includes the first ABC Radio bulletin. Gardiner interrupts Doris Day's recording of "Hooray for Hollywood" to tell listeners at 13:36:50 EST (UTC−5):

We interrupt this program to bring you a special bulletin from ABC Radio. Here is a special bulletin from Dallas, Texas: three shots were fired at President Kennedy's motorcade today in downtown Dallas, Texas. This is ABC Radio. To repeat: in Dallas, Texas, three shots were fired at President Kennedy's motorcade today. The president now making a two-day speaking tour of Texas. We're going to stand by for more details on the incident in Dallas. Stay tuned to your ABC station for further details. Now we return you to your regular program.

ABC Radio Networks
Ralph Beaudin, group vice president of ABC Radio, came up with the idea of splitting the ABC Radio Network into four different networks. He felt that there was more product than stations could broadcast, causing a sale issue. The four separate networks would allow advertisers to better market to their preferred audience. Paul Harvey and the Breakfast Club were designated as Entertainment network features. Before the split, ABC obtained a waiver of the FCC's "Chain Broadcasting" rule on December 29, 1967, which had forced the sale of the Blue network in 1943.

Though each of the four new networks was carried on the same 5 kHz telco line (3.5 in some cities), the move allowed ABC to have as many as four affiliates in one city, a major competitive advantage and a dramatic turning point in the history of network radio. However, the FCC insisted that there be no overlap of any ABC network broadcast in a single market, and the network required affiliates to get approval before any delayed broadcast of network programming. The new networks were launched on January 1, 1968.

Two additional networks, ABC Rock Network and ABC Direction Network, were added on January 4, 1982. ABC Rock's anchor affiliate was WPLJ in New York City, and many album-oriented rock-formatted stations moved from the American FM Network, with a total of 40 affiliates. Executives in charge of ABC Rock at the launch were vice president Tom Plant and program director Denise Oliver. The Direction Network was under ABC Entertainment Network's executive's charge, was for adult (25–45) format stations, and started with 57 affiliates.

ABC Radio acquired Watermark Inc., best known as the syndicator of American Top 40 with Casey Kasem and American Country Countdown with Bob Kingsley, in 1982. Kasem left ABC in 1988, reclaiming the American Top 40 name from ABC in 1998, and selling the AT40 brand to AMFM Radio Networks (later absorbed into Premiere Networks). Kingsley left ABC in 2005, and 'ACC' continues to air as part of the ABC stable, with Kix Brooks as host since 2006. Dick Bartley joined the network in 1991 with the AT40 spinoff American Gold and his live Saturday night call-in oldies show, before leaving at the end of March 2009.

ABC launched a foray into talk radio with ABC Talkradio (similar to rival NBC's Talknet) in 1982. Among its most notable hosts were Michael Jackson, Owen Spann, Toni Grant and Ray Briem. In 1987, an adjunctive network internally known as "ABC Radio Talk" was launched to wrest some programming control away from local ABC station KABC in Los Angeles. Tom Snyder and Barry Farber were featured on this secondary network, following a notable three-hour guest appearance by Snyder on Ray Briem's program. However, the rising popularity of conservative talk radio, fueled by The Rush Limbaugh Show, led to the main network's demise. Limbaugh had been picked to replace Owen Spann on the main ABC Talkradio network after Spann was forced to retire due to medical issues. This occurred when former ABC executive Ed McLaughlin purchased Spann's former weekday slot with the idea of giving Limbaugh a national platform following his initial success on KFBK in Sacramento.

After Tom Snyder's retirement in 1992, ABC ostensibly filled his weeknight slot with Leslie Marshall, at the time the youngest syndicated host ever, while most major affiliates instead picked up Limbaugh. ABC's national talk programming efforts ended shortly thereafter, though one program from the original Talkradio/Weekend network, Bob Brinker's Moneytalk, remained on the air until 2018.

ABC acquired the Satellite Music Network, the first satellite-delivered music radio network, and its nine channels of programming in 1989. The division continues to operate semi-autonomously as Cumulus Music Radio at Cumulus's Dallas-Fort Worth cluster.

ESPN Radio Network was formed in September 1991 by both ESPN Inc. and Capital Cities/ABC, Inc.'s ABC Radio Networks and launched as Sports Radio ESPN on January 1, 1992. Radio Disney was test-launched on November 18, 1996, in four markets by ABC Radio Networks, with a Los Angeles station added on August 26, 1997.

ABC again began building a talk network, this time with an emphasis on political talk, in 2001. Among the first hosts heard on the new ABC talk network were Sam Donaldson of ABC News television, Sean Hannity of WABC, Larry Elder of KABC, and John Batchelor of WABC. Donaldson left his show after a short time. Mark Levin was added in 2005 and eventually replaced Elder in 2007, and Mark Davis of WBAP had a brief syndication run on the network in 2005. Rush Limbaugh's program was not part of this network; following a series of mergers in the 1990s, Ed McLaughlin's company, EFM, was absorbed into Premiere Networks, a subsidiary of Clear Channel Communications (now iHeartMedia).

Hannity has been the most successful, displacing Laura Schlessinger as the most popular host in the time slot within a few years (especially on the East Coast); the network shared the program with Premiere Radio Networks from 2008 to 2013 before Premiere took over the program entirely beginning in 2014.

Sale to Citadel
In 2005, ABC began to explore the sale of its radio division. The two leading competitors for the purchase of the network, which included twenty-two of ABC Radio's top stations, as well as ABC's talk and music networks, were Bala Cynwyd-based Entercom Communications and Forstmann Little & Company's Citadel Broadcasting unit. Citadel was chosen as the top bidder and the deal to purchase the stations and the network was struck in February 2006.

The deal did not include Radio Disney, ESPN Radio (or its Spanish counterpart, ESPN Deportes Radio), any of the five ESPN Radio stations (or the myriad of Radio Disney stations) Disney owned at the time, or any of ABC's television assets (the ABC name, which also remained in Disney's hands, would be licensed to Citadel for two years). Disney's ABC News unit will also still produce ABC News Radio programming for distribution by Citadel. Despite the change in ownership, Citadel Media still listed "ESPN Radio" & "ESPN Deportes" as part of its advertising sales family.

The acquisition of ABC Radio by Citadel Broadcasting was officially completed on June 12, 2007 and the "ABC Radio Networks" logo was licensed from Disney until April 2, 2009.

Shortly after the announcement of the ABC/Citadel merger, the "FM" network was reactivated. It now provides an hourly, two-minute newscast, similar in format to when the network formerly operated. Those newscasts carry the on-air brand "ABC News Now".

Citadel Media
On April 2, 2009, the staff at Citadel Broadcasting changed the branding of this network from ABC Radio to "Citadel Media" to reflect its current ownership of a major radio network. However, "ABC News"; and its programming/satellite format listings would remain.

Cumulus Media
Cumulus Media absorbed all the assets of Citadel Broadcasting, including Citadel Media in September 2011, and the name change to "Cumulus Media Networks" immediately took effect upon acquisition. Previously, Citadel turned down previous acquisition offers months after emerging from bankruptcy.

On August 29, 2013, Cumulus Broadcasting purchased Dial Global (Westwood One as of September 4). Cumulus paid $260 million in cash for this programming syndication service, part of which has paid off Dial's debt before it was folded into this network service. Cumulus funded the sale by making a pair of station deals with Townsquare Media.

On July 31, 2014, Cumulus acquired the rights to CNN's content to distribute to radio stations (the company had held CNN radio rights since its acquisition of Dial Global, but CNN had not produced any radio content since April 2012). The newly acquired Westwood One network would distribute the content, allowing stations to use it with their branding. As an example, Cumulus stated that its "Nash"-branded country stations would run the content under the "Nash News" name. The programming deal started on January 1, 2015, when its broadcasting rights to ABC's news division expired. ABC relaunched an entirely new ABC Radio network (known as ABC Audio as of 2019). ABC Audio renewed its affiliation with most of the Cumulus stations in 2020 when Westwood One made the decision to fold its news division.

The merger of Cumulus Media Networks into Westwood One was completed in mid-2015.

Satellite formats
In 1989, ABC Radio Networks acquired the Satellite Music Network which originally started in Chicago. Full-time music formats operated by ABC Radio, Citadel Media and Cumulus Media include the following:

 * Best Country Today
 * Classic Rock
 * Good Time Oldies
 * Hits & Favorites
 * Jack FM
 * Real Country
 * Rejoice! Musical Soul Food
 * The Nerve
 * The Rhythm
 * The Touch
 * Timeless
 * Today's Best Hits
 * The Christmas Channel
 * The True Oldies Channel
 * Unforgettable Favorites
 * Z Rock

Former networks

 * ABC News & Talk
 * ABC News Now
 * CBS Sports Radio
 * ESPN Radio
 * ESPN Deportes Radio
 * Radio Disney

Former stations
From the very beginning of its broadcast days until the 2007 sale of the original ABC Radio, Inc. to Citadel Broadcasting and then subsequently to Cumulus Media, and again until 2015, when Radio Disney discontinued terrestrial broadcast service—with the exception of KRDC in Los Angeles, Disney/ABC owned and/or operated several radio stations in numerous markets, big and small. ABC also owned and operated several radio formats and networks, mostly during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.

Ice hockey at the 1964 Winter Olympics

The men's ice hockey tournament at the 1964 Winter Olympics in Innsbruck, Austria, was the tenth Olympic Championship, also serving as the 31st World Championships and the 42nd European Championships. The games were held at the Olympiahalle Innsbruck.

The Soviet Union won its second Olympic gold medal, fourth World Championship and eighth European Championship. Canada, represented for the first time by a purpose-built national team organized and coached by Father David Bauer, was shut out of the medals for the first time in Olympic ice hockey history—still in contention for the gold medal on the last day until a loss to the Soviets, the Canadians placed fourth and were denied a bronze medal.

Qualification
Prior to the tournament it was determined that there would be a spot allocated for an Asia/Oceanic representative. Also, for the third (and final time) East played West to decide the German representative in the Olympic hockey tournament.

 * November 23, 1963
 * Japan 17–1 Australia
 * November 26, 1963
 * Japan 17–6 Australia
 * December 6, 1963
 * West Germany 4–4 East Germany
 * December 8, 1963
 * East Germany 3–4 West Germany

First round (A/B)
Winners (in bold) qualified for the Group A to play for 1st–8th places. Teams which lost their qualification matches, played in Group B for 9th–16th places. Countries were seeded (roughly) from their placement at the 1963 World Ice Hockey Championships. Switzerland was the only 'B' pool team to win, defeating Norway who was also from the 'B' pool.

 * January 27
 * Switzerland 5–1 Norway
 * Canada 14–1 Yugoslavia
 * January 28
 * USSR 19–1 Hungary
 * Czechoslovakia 17–2 Japan
 * Sweden 12–2 Italy
 * USA 7–2 Romania
 * Germany (UTG) 2–1 Poland
 * Austria 2–8 Finland

Final round

During the Canada versus Sweden game, Swedish player Carl-Göran Öberg broke his stick and tossed it aside. The broken end of the stick went towards the Canadian bench, where it struck their coach Father David Bauer in the face and opened a bleeding wound. Bauer demanded for his players to remain on the bench and not retaliate, since he did not want to take penalties late in the game. Canada went on to win by a 3–1 score, and Bauer forgave Öberg for the incident. On the next day, Bauer invited Öberg to sit with him while watching the Soviet Union play Czechoslovakia.

First place team wins gold, second silver and third bronze.

 * January 29
 * USSR 5–1 USA
 * Czechoslovakia 11–1 Germany (UTG)
 * Canada 8–0 Switzerland
 * January 30
 * Finland 4–0 Switzerland

Medalists
Sweden, Czechoslovakia and Canada finished with identical records of five wins and two losses. Canada thought they had won the bronze medal based on the goal differential in the three games among the tied countries. When they attended the presentation of the Olympic medals, they were disappointed to learn they had finished in fourth place based on the Olympics tie-breaking procedure of goal differential from all seven games played. Canadian Amateur Hockey Association (CAHA) president Art Potter and the Canadian players accused International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) president Bunny Ahearne of making a last-minute decision to change the rules and take away a medal from Canada, and The Canadian Press quoted Ahearne as stating that the IIHF decided on a tie-breaking procedure with 10 minutes remaining in the final game.

Father Bauer was awarded a gold medal for his example of good sportsmanship in the stick-throwing incident. Later that night, the Canadian players gathered in his room where Marshall Johnston summarized the team's feeling that, "The shepherd and his flock have been fleeced". At the CAHA general meeting in May 1964, Ahearne clarified that the decision to place Canada fourth in the standings was supported by the IIHF statutes and that no rules were changed. Former CAHA president and past IIHF president Robert Lebel agreed that the correct decision was made despite the accusations.

In April 2005, the IIHF was reported by The Canadian Press to have admitted to a mistake in 1964 and voted to retroactively award a bronze medal in the 1964 World Championship (but not the 1964 Olympics which had different rules) to Canada. In June 2005, the IIHF voted against the reversal. IIHF vice-president Murray Costello, stated had the reversal been carried out it would have set a precedent for other past decisions to be questioned.
