Leading up to UFC 184: Rousey vs. Zingano on Saturday, women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey showed a level respect for her opponent, Cat Zingano, that she hadn’t afforded previous challengers. During the weigh-in face off on Friday, Rousey shook Zingano’s hand before engaging in an intense staredown. After becoming the latest victim of a Ronda Rousey armbar finish, Zingano sat on her knees on the Octagon canvas inside the Staples Center in disbelief and disappointment.

NASA Spacecraft Arrives at Dwarf Planet Ceres This Week
NASA's Dawn spacecraft will begin orbiting the mysterious dwarf planet Ceres this week, ending a deep-space chase that lasted 2 1/2 years. "We've been using the ion propulsion system for a long time gradually to reshape Dawn's orbit around the sun so that it matches Ceres' orbit," said Dawn Mission Director and Chief Engineer Marc Rayman, who's based at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. The $466 million Dawn mission launched in September 2007 to study Vesta and Ceres, which are 330 miles (530 kilometers) and 590 miles (950 km) wide, respectively. Dawn's observations of these planetary building blocks should shed light on the planet-formation process and the conditions prevalent during the solar system's early days, NASA officials have said.

Americans are making a big mistake about health care
If you want to understand the politics of health care in the United States, you really need to understand this finding from a recent Economist/YouGov poll that shows why it's so difficult for wonky ideas — of either a left-wing or right-wing slant — to gain much toehold with the American people. Almost everyone who has health insurance in the United States gets help from the government to afford it.

HTC's One M9 is official
It's time for another One — HTC has unveiled its latest flagship handset. The phone runs HTC's Sense Seven skin atop Android 5.0 Lollipop, which is apparently hefty enough to reduce the available storage to around 21GB out of the box. While the last two HTC One phones used 4-megapixel — sorry, UltraPixel — sensors that sacrificed resolution for low-light performance, the M9 goes completely the other direction with a new 20-megapixel camera that ditches the gimmicky depth-sensing second lens. This should at least mean that the M9 resolves more detail than its predecessors, but the smaller pixels probably won't hold up so well in the dark.
