JERUSALEM (AP) - Israel increased airstrikes on the Gaza Strip and sealed it off from food, fuel, and other supplies in retaliation for a bloody incursion by Hamas militants, as the war's death toll rose to nearly 1,600 on both sides. Hamas also escalated on Monday, pledging to kill captured Israelis if attacks targeted civilians without warnings.At least 11 U.S. citizens have been confirmed dead in the surprise Hamas attacks, U.S. President Joe Biden said Wednesday.Biden also said the U.S. government believes it is “likely” that Americans are among those currently being held hostage by Hamas militants, while other U.S. citizens are still unaccounted for after the deadly assault.“My heart goes out to every family impacted by the horrible events of the past few days,” Biden said in a statement. “The pain these families have endured, the enormity of their loss, and the agony of those still awaiting information is unfathomable.”He stressed that the State Department is offering assistan...Parental interactions help make kids more social — and more

The Wild have officially entered the dead zone this season, a two-year stretch during which the team carries $14.7 million in dead salary cap space, the result of buying out the contracts of Zach Parise and Ryan Suter.The Wild will start the regular season this week about $818,000 under the $83.5 million salary cap and it’s been a major topic of conversation during training camp because it made it nearly impossible to promote a forward to the NHL roster out of training camp.Instead, the Wild head into Thursday’s regular-season opener against Florida at Xcel Energy Center with two open roster spots, despite losing top-four defenseman Jared Spurgeon to an injury that could cost him weeks.Releasing Parise and Suter with four years left on their identical 13-year, $98 million contracts in July 2021 already has helped the Wild, freeing enough salary burden to sign center Joel Eriksson Ek to an eight-year, $42 million contract extension, for instance. It also will cost the Wild another $1...Man serving life sentence for toddler’s murder in Maplewood suspected in Lino Lakes prison homicide
