MEDIA RELEASE_Lacrosse is the oldest team sport in North America. Indigenous men of the Iroquois nation in New York and Canada were known to play lacrosse as a medicine game starting centuries ago. In 1972, the International Federation of Women’s Lacrosse Association was formed, with the men’s International Lacrosse Federation starting in 1972.  The two groups merged in 2008.

MEDIA RELEASE_The Rolling Stones released Jigsaw Puzzle on December 6, 1968 on their Beggars Banquet album. The song was the longest one on the album with a playing time of 6 minutes and 7 seconds. The song was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and was considered to be blues-rock. The critics had very mixed views and it never really achieved many accolades compared to Satisfaction and Paint It, Black, which had the highest commercial success.
