Thursday: St. Andrews' "Yes" vote, Asimov robot test, beaver dam bushwacker, and more...

The future of Scotland is up in the air, as the vote on independence continues -- but the future of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club is secure, after a historic vote to allow women as members...A British scientist tests a robot's ability to rescue us from danger -- but faced with an ethical dilemma, its dithering left the "humans" at risk of serious injury...and an American explorer becomes the first person to actually reach the largest beaver dam in the world.

Part One

St Andrews "Yes" vote
The votes are in. The votes are counted. And today's historic vote begins a new chapter for Scotland. Or rather, for Scotland's Royal and Ancient Golf Club -- which will finally allow women as members. Former pro Vivien Saunders celebrates that St. Andrew's vote, and reflects on that other vote taking place in Scotland today.

Beaver dam bushwacker

Part Two

Michael Chong's reform bill
Conservative MP Michael Chong's original bill was designed to redistribute some of the PM's influence -- but in its revised form, the bill itself loses some influence.

Asimov robot
Do you trust your robot to save you and your friend? Well, one of you humans needs to put a helmet on -- because it turns out your cyborg sidekick melts down when faced with that kind of ethical decision.

Part Three

Potsdam church
On the one hand, the Garrison Church in Potsdam, Germany was both historic and a beautiful example of Baroque architecture. But the other hand belonged to Hitler -- who used the church as a backdrop to warmly greet the German president in 1933. Now, some people in Potsdam want the church rebuilt -- while others think it's tainted forever.

Hurricane hunter
Ever wondered what it would feel like to fly straight into a storm? Joe Cione does it for a living -- and what he learns from getting up so close serves as a treasure trove for scientists everywhere.
