By Jill Colvin The Associated Press Sun., June 17, 2018 WASHINGTON—A top White House adviser on Sunday distanced the Trump administration from responsibility for separating migrant children from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border, even though the administration put in place and could easily end a policy that has led to a spike in cases of split and distraught families. U.S. President Donald Trump has tried to blame Democrats, who hold no levers of power in the government today, for a situation that has sparked fury and a national debate over the moral implications of his hard-line approach to immigration enforcement. “Nobody likes” breaking up families and “seeing babies ripped from their mothers’ arms,” said Kellyanne Conway, a counsellor to the president. Nearly 2,000 children were separated from their families over a six-week period in April and May after Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced a new … [Read more...] about White House adviser Kellyanne Conway says ‘nobody likes’ family separation policy

By Ross Marowits The Canadian Press Sun., June 17, 2018 MONTREAL—Get ready for the “internet of cows.” Generations of farmers have relied on knowledge and family expertise to grow food, but the sector is set for a surge of disruption at the hands of made-in-Canada artificial intelligence-powered systems. AI is now helping farmers across the country to increase yields, save costs and minimize environmental damage. Instead of spreading fertilizer across acres of fields or spraying entire orchards with herbicides, they can now target their efforts for maximum effect.

By The Canadian Press Sun., June 17, 2018 SOUTHHAMPTON, N.Y.—Brooks Koepka won the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills, becoming the first back-to-back winner of the tournament since Curtis Strange in 1989. Tommy Fleetwood shot the sixth 63 in U.S. Open history, making eight birdies and a lone bogey at the par 70 Shinnecock Hills, but it wasn’t enough to beat the defending champion. Fleetwood had three good birdie looks on the final three holes that could have yielded him the all-time low score. He was a stroke off the lead when he completed play more than two hours before the final pairing. “I never thought I was out of it,” said Fleetwood about his chances teeing off on Sunday. “I just needed a good start. When I got to four-under (on the round) it was game on.” The previous low score in an Open at Shinnecock was 65, by Lanny Watkins and Mark Calcavecchia in 1986 and Neal Lancaster in 1995. Rickie Fowler shot 65 in the last round on … [Read more...] about Koepka holds off Fleetwood for U.S. Open title
