Byrd, Kelsey describes black eyed peas Barlow, Patrick will i am conclude Bade and the currently-injured Sandi Marcius will need to play big minutes to take heat off of the six returning veterans.While Northridge cracked the NCAA Tournament field last season and played a very strong game against Memphis, five of their top six scorers departed.In place of the graduated players, Northridge coach Bobby Braswell has managed to bring in three junior college transfers who averaged a combined 54.4 points per game for their respective schools last season.  All three could potentially be in the starting lineup against Purdue.6'8" forward Lenny Daniel averaged 17.5 points and eight rebounds for Coffeyville CC in Coffeyville, KS.  6'5" Kevin Menner recorded 19.3 and 7.9 for Saddleback CC in Mission Viejo, CA.  Finally, 6'5" swingman Rashaun McLemore averaged 17.6 points a night for Frank Phillips College in Borger, TX.Even Northridge's returnees don't have a lot of Division 1 miles on them.  6'8" forward Willie Galick, who is likely to start in the middle for the Matadors tonight, is the only returning player to appear in more than 25 games last season.  He and point guard Mark Hill are the only two to average more than 20 minutes per game in last season's action.Lewis Jackson's suspension deprives us of a great little-man matchup against the 5'11" Hill, but the bigger Keaton Grant may be even more able to slow Hill down. Hill's backup, Vinnie McGhee, is another new face, transferring in from Sacramento State, where he averaged 12.1 points and 5.1 assists in winning Big Sky Freshman of the Year honors in 2007-08.Like Purdue, Northridge doesn't have a lot in the way of size.  Seven-footer Xavier Crawford, who averaged a whopping 5.6 minutes per game in 25 appearances last season, is the only Matador over 6'8".  Galick's matchup with JaJuan Johnson could go a long way toward propelling Johnson into the top five of Purdue's career blocked shots list (he has 112, and needs three to pass Brandon Brantley).While Purdue has to rely on youngsters to fill many of the complementary roles, CSUN will be expecting inexperienced D-1 players to play a large share of the minutes overall.  It's for this reason that tonight's game may not be as big a trap as some might expect.Forecast: Purdue 80, Cal State Northridge 61.The game will be streamed on ESPN360 , and also at Northridge's official site, GoMatadors . For more from Scott Henry, check out Starr*Rated.. NEW YORK (Reuters) - Spanish prosecutors are investigating Banco Santander's loss of more than 2.3 billion euros of its clients' money by investing with alleged swindler Bernard Madoff, The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday.The newspaper said Spain's anticorruption prosecutor would examine the relationship between Santander, Fairfield Greenwich Group, and the Madoff funds, citing the prosecutor's office.

Madoff Investment Securities LLC and a former chairman of the Nasdaq Stock Market, of masterminding a fraud of epic proportions through his investment advisory business, which managed at least one hedge fund.Santander could not be immediately reached for comment.(Reporting by Michael Erman; Editing by Bernard Orr). LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - The Sundance Film Festival, which kicks off in Park City, Utah, on Thursday, is celebrating its 25th anniversary.

Entertainment  |  FilmBut festival founder Robert Redford's involvement actually goes back to the late '70s with the Utah/U.S black eyed peas the end . Film Festival (which was taken over in 1984 by his Sundance Institute).Because the festival has become America's top launching pad for independent films, Redford knows this year's acquisitions market is being watched closely as a barometer of the ailing indie business black eyed peas imma . But, as always, the 72-year-old filmmaker is more interested in the movies themselves.ARE THERE NOW TOO MANY FILM FESTIVALS?Robert Redford: Yeah blackeyedpeas . That's a tricky thing for me to be saying -- it could look pretty selfish -- but I do think there's such a thing as too much of certain things Look, I think there's now festivals for neighborhoods elephunk . If that satisfies people and they continue to grow and everyone's happy, so be it.

My gut says there's such a thing as too much information, but I don't know.When we started there was very little out there; now, there's a lot black eyed peas boom boom pow . My feeling is when the day comes when we're no longer providing the mission we started with -- not creating something new for audiences, not creating opportunities for new artists to have a place to come and develop -- then we shouldn't be here, and we won't fergie . As long as we continue to create new advantages, we will continue, but not just to be continuing.WHAT'S CHANGED MOST ABOUT THE FESTIVAL IN ALL THESE YEARS?Redford: Well, the first year I was standing on the street trying to get people into the only theater that we had, the Egyptian It was like a guy standing outside a speakeasy or something monkey business . People would say, "What are you doing here?" And I'd say, "Well, there's a thing we're doing."It wasn't until (Columbia Pictures exec) David Putnam came up our second or third year, and he bought "The Big Easy." That was the first turning point, and "sex, lies, and videotape" (1989's audience award winner) was the second Then it kinda grew from there hey mama . It was about five years before I even knew we would succeed and stay alive.WHAT HAS YOUR PROUDEST MOMENT BEEN AT THE FESTIVAL?Redford: It's a collective moment.

We're nonprofit, we're not going to gain anything financially out of this and I've taken a lot of time out of my own career to try to make this thing work . So when a filmmaker comes up to me and says, "Thank you for this; it wouldn't have happened without you," that's a big reward.HOW HAS THE ECONOMY IMPACTED THE FESTIVAL THIS YEAR?Redford: I don't know pump it . Speculation gets pretty heavy toward our festival where people try to get a jump on what they think is going to happen will i am music . The thing I've always enjoyed is no one knows until it's over . Whatever the buzz is, you know, there's buzz on one film, nobody pays attention to another one, and then that one becomes "The Blair Witch Project." You don't really know 'til it's over, so I like that. I don't know how the economy is going to affect us; my guess is it will. But it's not going to affect the films we show.WE WON'T ASK YOU TO NAME THE BEST FILM YOU'VE SEEN AT SUNDANCE, BUT WHAT FILM SURPRISED YOU MOST?Redford: There've been so many.
