Yet with the price of stocks plummeting and an onslaught of investors asking for their money back, many funds aren't nearly the size they once were - so they're taking on fresh investors. A number of portfolio managers, especially the value-conscious sort, are also seeing cheap stocks all over the place and want extra money to buy in.

Such audits aren't cheap - they can range up to $800 - but as "fuel costs rise, the payback improves," notes Trethewey. A good auditor will use a blower test, which lowers the air pressure inside a home - air from the outside will then rush through openings, revealing any leaks.

He openly discusses trying to intentionally injure Harvard players during the game, and his dirty tactics increase as the Crimson cuts down the Bulldogs’ lead. Bouscaren even takes credit for a cheap shot that he didn’t commit. But his antics seem to always backfire, such as when he draws a flag for a facemasking penalty on Harvard quarterback Frank Champi ’70 that gives the Crimson better field position and allows the team to complete its comeback...
