Everyone knows that your money is safe in an FDIC insured bank because if the bank fails (Hello, IndyMac!) the FDIC will step in and repay your money (generally, up to $100,000.) But what if the FDIC runs out of money? It doesn't have an unlimited supply and enough bank failures could completely drain its fund, says ABCNews: Thanks to a collapsing housing market and a weak economy, a growing number of banks are struggling ...

(Credit: Nikon USA) The much-rumored and even more longed-for update to the Nikon D80 has arrived. Or will, in a couple of weeks. The Nikon D90 doesn't replace the popular D80, which moves down Nikon's dSLR product line, and unsurprisingly, provides some significant enhancements over that 2-year-old model. Most notably, the D90 is the first digital SLR to support movie capture. Though its movie-capture specs aren't too shabby--24fps 1280x720 motion JPEG and support for VR ...

Many of my readers have asked me to create a 3-day workout routine for them. For some people a 5 day routine just doesn’t fit into their schedule. So, is it possible to build muscle in just 3 days a week instead of 5? Yes, but we have to do a few things differently. But first, we’ll still be adhering to the following principles: Keeping workouts short 6-9 sets per body part 2 minute breaks ...

Men like to compete. Men particularly enjoy comparing and competing against one another in the area of strength. To settle disputes among your friends as to who is the strongest, you could go to the gym, slide some 45 lb plates on a bar, and see who can bench or squat the most. But that simply isn’t as fun as actually struggling and wrestling against an opponent of flesh and blood. Moreover, a gym might ...
