Introducing the first smart-jacket for running using wearable intuitive motivational technology. By Simon Weatherall Former Marine
About this project
Glowfaster on BBC Dragons Den - Simon Weatherall Former Marine
This jacket was developed with running in mind. It lights up when you are running, even better the lights on the smart-jacket show you how your training is going, whether your heart rate is at target, whether you were at target speed. The Glowfaster App controls the jacket via Bluetooth to allow the user to set up the smart clothing to their own settings and gain motivation intuitively from their own biofeedback.
We have developed the jacket to a high specification as well as the power unit and Bluetooth connection within it, and the iphone App… All that is left is up scaling to commercial manufacture.
We are also making an Android version of the App!
Our jacket is a fantastic lit up running garment, great looking and high tech. With the Gizmo bluetooth connector and heart rate sensor, your smart jacket come to life. Your support will help me combine the power unit (pink) and the Gizmo (blue) into one complete compact item! We have already got the team at Korusys on the case and they have developed a prototype board, sourced all the components plus are ready to roll with the next steps of transforming the Gizmo into its smaller more compact unit. We require your support to finalise the design of the Gizmo and commercially produce it.
The Technology
Our App comes fully loaded to connect to your smart jacket, you can set your running pace and sync it with your jacket, set you target heart rate, flash the light in time with training aids and sound driven games like the Bleep Test, you can even link up to music on your iphone.
Using our smart-jacket can help you train more instinctively. It allows you to sync your bodies biomarkers such as your heart rate, or measure speed versus target via GPS, letting you know when you are at your target.
You respond naturally to light on the jacket and your motivation becomes intuitive and allows your body to adapt to your workout. You will continue to react and the biofeedback loop will keep your body and your motivation going… Your motivation and confidence will grow as your workout progresses and as dusk approaches you will be seen remarkably well!
Iphone App
Our app comes fully loaded to connect to your smart jacket.
Glowfaster will release new training presets to make it easier to train. You can set your running pace and sync it with your jacket, link your music mix up to your jacket for your own private party. This is just the beginning with this smart jacket my aim is to add more sensors and output methods to take it to another level!
I want people to be able to create their own apps with the smart clothing range to promote not only a fun and enjoyable workout but also an informative one you can react to instantly.
Please buy a smart jacket for only £99 to make this possible.
Glowfaster is now exhibiting along some of the worlds largest technology companies such as Google, Intel & many more at the Wearable Technology Expo In London, this is the largest of its kind in Europe and we are very excited to have one of only 30 spaces. Please help support our cause.
Fully working mobile application which allows you to train more instinctivly.
Full connectivity from your Iphone to your smart jacket and a heart rate sensor.
The Glowfaster Story
It's been 2 years in the making the journey so far. Starting with a simple light up jacket to make a more exciting and safer experience of running, especially at dusk… and then… once enjoying this experience we simply could not stop. We found a way to control the lights from a distance of up to 30 metres opening up the opportunity for fitness games using flashing lights and colours as signals. Then we set about setting up and App to allow the lights to respond to speed measured by GPS and even heart rate measured form a heart rate monitor.
Our App allows Bluetooth control to activate the jacket and the monitor, and adjust settings using an iphone. Set up for a target speed or heart rate can be achieved and this allowed the fantastic experience of intuitive motivational technology to allow users to respond to biofeedback.
Inside The Gizmo
Under The Hood Of The Gizmo!
Founder of Glowfaster Simon Weatherall's son George was one of the first to receive his prototype jacket powered using a bluetooth car headset....he danced in it beating to music for hrs! A very happy boy!!!
Where it all began 2 years earlier, hacking and prototyping, learning how to sew was one of Simon's high points! He even knows what a bobbin is now!
Safety First!
Earlier in 2012 we took a prototype jacket to a focus group with Hampshire Police and this is what they said! Even our light up jacket could help save a life! your support truly does help! Please buy yourself or a loved one a Glowfaster Jacket.
The Smart jacket and accessories
Your support will help me combine the power unit and the control unit into one complete compact item! Please buy a smart jacket for only £99 to make this possible.
Blue Shows the current Gizmo which is fully working & the pink shows the current USB power Device. Your Support will help us combine them and commercially produce them. Please get involved!
The jackets hosts a double zip attachment meaning you can upgrade your lights or add different colours such as Tron blue or Pink, We have great plans to make these jackets as upgradable as any new smart jacket should be incorporating new sensors and natural ways to provide feedback.
Our lights are very bright at night, the darker it gets the better they are!
Your Glowfaster Jacket has been designed by one of the UK's top designers, this has incorporated everything from light positioning to make it easier to be seen, to comfort and fit of the jacket. The Jacket is smart as it has full mobile connectivity features, and is practical in every sense. It can be washed, is water proof, wind proof and breathable, but most of all its great fun & inspires you to train harder and more intuitively.
Your Rewards Fulfilment Plan
One of the key features of the jacket is that it can be worn in the day as well as at night and still look fashionable. Manufacturing for our jacket is ready we have source fabric suppliers, the production line is ready to roll, the basic tech to power the jackets is fully complete, our smart jackets require the gizmo refinement. We require a minimum order quantity of 500 jackets so please help us reach our target, treat yourself to one of our fantastic offers.
I have been working closely with the current manufacturer over the last 6 months and we have now refined design. If my minimum order quantity is met everyone will receive their jackets within 3 months. We have time scaled the Gizmo and it will follow to people who have bought a smart jacket by june/july 2014 once its been manufactured.
Our Iphone app is fully working, The jacket is fully designed other than small refinements, everything is ready to go!
We have massive plans to extend our smart clothing range further, pushing the limits of intuitive technology and providing you with a great range of wearable technology for intuitive motivation. Your support will help us achieve this aim!

Having served as a Royal Marine Commando in places like Serra Leone and the Iraq war invasion in 2003 i decided to give something back so i will give 10% of all profits from Glowfaster business to the Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund. Please Support me by buying a jacket as it will effect not only you but help others too!
Risks and challenges
The Main Risk and Challenge is because of the technical features of the jacket i require a higher startup cost for the initial order than a normal garment due to its technical nature. Is a viable product but this is my next step and a real challenge so please help by buying one of my jackets.
Thank you.

Skofja Loka Travel Guide: 218 reviews and 619 photos
Škofja Loka is an old city of 23,000 inhabitants, 25 km north west to the capital, Ljubljana. It was founded in 973 AD and is one of the oldest cities of the country, together with Piran and Ptuj. Loški Grad (Loški castle) was first built before1202. Škofja Loka is considered as the most beautiful and well kept medieval city of Slovenia.
It was repeatedly looted in the XVth and suffered from the 1511 earthquake. Most of the old city was rebuilt in the XVIth.
Škofja Loka stands at 345 meter elevation, at the confluence of Poljanska Sora and Selška Sora (rivers Poljanska and Selška)

Skofja certainly has it's fair share of historic buildings! It was nice to see a bit of the surrounding countryside too in your view from the castle! A very scenic location for a city.
Jean-Louis, lovely little page with brilliant photos of Skofja Loka. I once visited the town for a few hours on my trip from Bled to Ljubljana by train.
Great that Skofja Loka has so many interesting historic buildings. I like that little suspended garden by the river -- making use of every square centimeter of space. And I'm glad Jurij was able to save Agata from the waves of the torrential Sora River.
Yes, I agree with you, an "off the beaten path destination"
A very picturesque place - a true holiday for a photographer and a lover of history. Slovenia as well as other former Yugoslavian republics are in my wish list. Thanks Jean-Louis for reminding me about this white spot on my map of Europe!
I have to re visit this town. I've been there twice , but I haven't seen enough of it. Ciao!
I think Slovenia is an underrated travel destination as a whole – or at least this is the case in the U.S. Perhaps it is better received with the rest of Europe. I enjoyed looking at your pics of all the old, colorful houses: they seemed so fitting.

Frozen Food Express Industries, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2013 Financial Results DALLAS, April 29, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Frozen Food Express Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq:FFEX) today announced its financial and operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. Highlights from first quarter 2013 financial results include: *1Q13 total operating revenue was $97.8 million, an 11.3% increase versus 1Q12 *1Q13 revenue per truck per week increased 2.0% to $3,339, compared to $3,275 during 1Q12 *1Q13 operating ratio improved to 104.1%, compared to 105.9% during 1Q12 *1Q13 net loss improved to $3.3 million, compared to a $5.6 million loss during 1Q12 *1Q13 net loss per share of diluted common stock was ($0.18), compared to ($0.32) during 1Q12 Revenue (in $ millions) from: 1Q13 1Q12 % Change Total Truckload ("TL") 37.9 34.8 9.0% Less-than-truckload ("LTL") 33.4 28.3 17.8% Brokerage, Logistics and Equipment Rental 6.7 7.0 (4.2%) Operating Revenue (Excluding Fuel Surcharges) 78.0 70.1 11.2% Fuel Surcharges 19.8 17.8 11.3% Total Operating Revenue 97.8 87.9 11.3% "The execution of our strategic plan continues to deliver solid growth in revenue and improvement in operating profitability. During the first quarter, TL and LTL revenue grew 9.0% and 17.8% respectively, keeping pace with a 12.0% growth in the number of trucks in service. Volumes and pricing trends were favorable and were only slightly offset by an increase in the empty mile ratio," said Russell Stubbs, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Brokerage, logistics and equipment rental revenue was relatively unchanged from the prior year at approximately $7 million, as the effect of exiting an unprofitable dedicated service relationship last year was offset by a $0.6 increase in equipment rental revenue and slight growth in water transport services." During the first quarter of 2013, total operating expenses increased $8.7 million, or 9.4%, to $101.9 million compared to $93.1 million during the first quarter of 2012. The primary factor related to the year-over-year increase in operating expenses was the increase in TL linehaul miles of 12.0% and LTL tonnage of 9.9% versus the first quarter of 2012. To handle this volume, the Company increased the number of weekly average trucks in service to 1,660, versus 1,482 during the same period last year. A significant part of this increase in trucks came from independent owner operators as the Company focused on growing its fleet by utilizing this resource. During the same time period, salaries, wages and related expenses, which includes both drivers and non-driver compensation, decreased $218,000, or 0.7%. The Company experienced excellent claims and insurance results in the first quarter of 2012, thus the Company expected the increase in claims and insurance expense in 2013 of $1.5 million, which actually was below budget for the quarter. Operating expense also compared negatively in the first quarter of 2013 versus the first quarter of 2012 due to a $1.5 million decline in gain on equipment sales, year over year. During the first quarter, the operating ratio improved to 104.1% compared to 105.9% last year, as the pace of revenue growth outpaced growth in expenses. The operating ratio improvement was primarily related to strategic decisions implemented over the past 18 months to exit less profitable businesses, refresh the average age of the fleet and increase efficiencies. The Company expects 2013 capital expenditures will not exceed $3 million, net of proceeds from dispositions. "During the first quarter, we achieved cost savings from our younger and more fuel efficient fleet. We improved yields and grew volumes in our temperature control services. While we still have progress to make, we have successfully repositioned our Company, and I am confident that we have the right plan in place to restore the Company to profitability during 2013 and restore more meaningful profitability in the years to come," Mr. Stubbs concluded. About FFEX Frozen Food Express Industries, Inc. is one of the leading temperature-controlled truckload and less-than-truckload carriers in the United States with core operations in the transport of temperature-controlled products and perishable goods including food, health care and confectionery products. Service is offered in over-the-road and intermodal modes for temperature-controlled truckload and less-than-truckload, as well as dry truckload on a non-dedicated fleet basis.

Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains certain statements that may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements include statements relating to plans, strategies, objectives, expectations, intentions, and adequacy of resources, and may be identified by words such as "will", "could", "should", "believe", "expect", "intend", "plan", "schedule", "estimate", "project", and similar expressions. Those statements are based on current expectations and are subject to uncertainty and change. Although our management believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such expectations will be realized. Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties underlying such expectations not materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those expected. Among the key factors that are not within our management's control and that may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in such forward-looking statements are demand for the Company's services and products, and its ability to meet that demand, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, weather conditions and the general economy, the availability and cost of labor and owner-operators, the ability to negotiate favorably with lenders and lessors, the continued growth of hydraulic fracturing techniques for oil and gas drilling in West Texas, the effects of terrorism and war, the availability and cost of equipment, fuel and supplies, the market for previously-owned equipment, the impact of changes in the tax and regulatory environment in which the Company operates, operational risks and insurance, risks associated with the technologies and systems used and the other risks and uncertainties described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Given the volatility in fuel prices and the impact fuel surcharge revenues have on total operating revenues, we often make reference to total operating revenue excluding fuel surcharges to provide a more consistent basis for comparison of operating revenue without the impact of fluctuating fuel prices.

Only 5 percent of seniors have changed Medicare plans, 16 percent might this year; Cost savings, better service and improved coverage among biggest drivers to change plans as Medicare enrollment season nears
Belleville, Il (Vocus) November 9, 2009 -- While only 5 percent of seniors have changed their Medicare plan since becoming eligible, three times as many (16 percent) report they are likely to or are considering switching plans in 2010, according to an independent survey of seniors over 65. Allsup, a nationwide provider of Social Security disability representation and Medicare services to seniors, commissioned the survey. Medicare annual enrollment, when any Medicare-eligible person can switch plans, runs from Nov. 15 to Dec. 31.
The Allsup Medicare Advisor Seniors Survey also found that only one in four seniors are very confident that their Medicare coverage would be adequate if their health condition were to change.
"Many seniors are limiting themselves to the Medicare option they are familiar with— the one they already have," said Paul Gada. Gada is Allsup's personal financial planning director and product manager for Allsup Medicare Advisor, a Medicare plan selection service that helps people choose the most affordable and appropriate plan for their specific healthcare needs.
"They may not be confident their plan can handle their changing needs. At the same time, they have a number of different reasons

According to court documents, the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services has concerns about the safety and welfare of Britney Spears' two sons if they are left in their mother's care. Child welfare investigators are looking into "multiple child abuse and neglect" claims involving Spears and her kids, Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1.
The agency says they are also investigating Brit's ex, Kevin Federline, though the documents do not provide details. The agency requested the court not alter the current custody and visitation arrangements in the couple's custody battle until their investigation is completed.

I'm so happy to see hand embroidery making a resurgence in fiber art. And not just in the traditional ways, but hand stitches mixed with modern motifs and surface design. No-rules hand embroidery, you could call it.
Few quilting artists have all the time they want for creating fiber art & quilts. But accomplishing more--while still enjoying it and doing a good job--is often a matter of efficiency rather than speed.
What does the terms "sewing appliques" mean to you? Do you think of hand applique? Machine applique? The applique stitch?
When I first discovered art quilting, heavily encrusted, beaded quilts were very popular due to a revival of crazy quilting. For a while, paint, needle felting, and fabric manipulation became more popular as surface embellishment--and that's still true. But I see beaded embellishments are making a comeback, especially in combination with embroidery.
Do you know how to appliqué? Many people are only familiar with hand appliqué, but there are many methods, from raw-edge appliqué to machine appliqué using a satin stitch
Many people--me among them--admire Jane LaFazio's approach to quilt making. She has a way of combining hand stitching, machine stitching, surface design, mixed-media, and even machine needle felting to create beautiful and unusual pieces of fiber art.
Whenever I go to an art exhibit, a quilt show, Quilt Market, or a similar kind of event, I always keep an eye out for fashion. Not haute couture, but art couture--garments or accessories that reveal someone to be an artist or art enthusiast.
When you've finished quilting gifts with beautiful fabrics, trims, and notions, doesn't it seem a shame to cover them up with commercial wrapping?
Two items I'm always short on: storage and gift wrap. Two things I always have plenty of: fabric and the urge to play in my studio. This fabric painting project by Lynn Krawczyk solves both problems with my favorite solutions
Where do you get your inspiration for art quilts? Quilting artists get asked that question all the time.
How do you find time to work on your fabric art? It's a question I hear often (sometimes in my own head).
Hand embroidery often has an old-fashioned connotation, especially if you grew up following hand embroidery patterns for cross stitch or hand stitching Bo Peep-like ladies on pillow cases.
I'm what you might call a hasty (read: impatient) stitcher. Methodical is not in my vocabulary. As a result, I make a lot of mistakes that I have to undo when embroidering or sewing beads on fabric. More often than not, I end up cutting the thread and starting over, all the while trying to block out the sound of my mother's voice in my head tsking, "Haste makes waste."
Whether you want to use up bits of this and that in your studio, experiment with a new supply or technique, practice your free-motion stitching, or you're just looking for something fun to quilt in a day, fabric postcards make great small quilting projects.
Spring is such a busy time of year: graduations, wedding showers, barbecues, the end of the school year, and so on. It seems I always need an idea for a quick gift for a teacher, hostess, or guest of honor.
That's when my bin of fabric scraps and list of fabric art projects come to the rescue.

NEW YORK (AP) — Office Depot and OfficeMax are being collated.
The retailers said today they have agreed to combine in an all-stock deal worth about $1.2 billion that would transform the office-supply retail sector, helping the No. 2 and No. 3 chains compete against industry behemoth Staples.
Liang Feng, a Morningstar analyst, said the combination would be positive for the companies. But he said it might not be enough to help the combined company succeed in the changing marketplace.
"The industry will face longer term structural headwinds with competitors like Amazon, Costco gaining ground and the decline in demand for secular office products like paper, pens and ink," he said.
Office Depot Inc. and OfficeMax, along with bigger rival Staples Inc., helped pioneer the big-box boom in the 1990s. But the rise in competition from web retailers like Amazon.com and discounters like Costco has been tough on the sector, leading to decreased sales.
Over the years, the companies have closed stores, slashed costs and streamlined operations to offset stagnant sales. But the industry was still seen as too bulky, and for years, rumors about possible consolidation have swirled around the sector, which is worth about $21.2 billion, according to research firm IBISWorld Inc. Of that, Staples holds a 35 percent market share, Office Depot has 26.1 and Office Max has 15.6.

|Key Info
The buzz throughout St. John and in the world of luxury villas is all about the impressive scale and the barefoot elegance of À La Mer! Waterfront on Great Cruz Bay, this magnificent new estate holds court within an oasis of stately palm trees, boasting probably what is the largest private pool on St. John.
Within the sun-kissed world of À La Mer, the Main Villa takes center stage, embraced by the aquamarine pool and the pool cabana, and bordered by a faux white-sand beach set with chaise lounges and a fire pit brazier. The expansive fully air-conditioned two-story Main Villa features seven bedroom/bath suites and a beautifully-proportioned Great Room graced with high arched windows and artistic stonework crafted in the classic St. John style. White slipcovered sink-into sofas and chairs are grouped around the Great Room to accommodate a large party, and a mahogany dining table for 14 is flanked by a stunning model yacht in full sail. Adjoining the Great Room, on the other side of the tiled entry foyer, is the large gourmet kitchen with a Viking range, a center island, lots of countertop space for several cooks, and a convenient pass-through window to the outdoor poolside dining area. The kitchen area also offers a wet bar with a beverage cooler and ice machine; behind that is a powder room looking into a walled garden.
Beyond the spacious kitchen is the blue family room, a cheerful space for lounging with a large flat-screen TV and a table for cards or games. Screened french doors open out to the front of the house from the family room, to À La Mer's outside front patio which features a bubbling fountain. On the other side of the family room, more french doors lead out to patios and pool. A hallway leads past the large laundry room to two of À La Mer's king bedroom/bath suites, both of which offer generous ensuite baths and screened french doors opening outside to small covered patios and to the pool beyond.
Twin mahogany staircases ascend from either side of the family room to À La Mer's upper floor, where five more air-conditioned bedroom/suites overlook the pool and majestic yachts riding at anchor on sparkling Great Cruz Bay. These suites all enjoy central air-conditioning, large ensuite baths tiled in charming designs, and via screened french doors, each has its own balcony. One of these five upstairs suites is À La Mer's master suite, a larger suite with a king four-poster bed, a private roofed patio with seating, and a spacious bath. The sumptuous master bath features a double vanity, a separate WC with a bidet, and a semi-alfresco double shower clad in glass tile and travertine. The other four suites have romantic four-poster king beds and ensuite baths (the corner suite has a tiled semi-alfresco shower). Two of these suites have a connecting door between them, perfect for parents who wish to be near their children. At the top of one staircase is an alcove with a desk with a printer and a two-twin trundle bed for children under 16 years.
Outside the Main Villa on the Great Cruz Bay side is À La Mer's shaded poolside terrace, furnished with plush upholstered seating for watching the kids in the pool, reading or napping, and a large round table under a roofed pergola for alfresco meals. The pass-through from the kitchen is incorporated into an adjoining counter lined with bar stools. This expansive outdoor living area, where you'll spend most of your time, also has two gas grills, one of them built into a charming garden patio, a ping-pong table for family championship competitions, and a deck lined with cushioned chaise lounges for sun worshippers. The pool is absolutely spectacular! It has a four-inch deep shallow shelf, perfect for sun loungers and for small children, a waterfall, and is bordered on the ocean side with a "beach," a strip of white sand set with more chaise lounges and a stone fire pit. The pool also features a swim-up bar with underwater bar stools at the pool cabana, a wonderful poolside entertainment pavilion with large-screen cable TV and DVD player, plus a wet bar with icemaker, beverage cooler and dishwasher. An electronic shutter rolls down at a touch of a button to secure the pool cabana when not being used. The pool cabana also has a handy powder room and outside shower. For experienced divers, there is access from the coral-and-sand waterfront into Great Cruz Bay for snorkeling - and you can also visit The Westin Resort's lovely white sand beach further down the Bay, about a 10-minute walk away.
À La Mer's Cottage is off to the side of the Main Villa, and on its upper level, offers a secluded fully-air-conditioned apartment suite, complete with a full kitchen, a bedroom with two queen beds and bath, a double-twin trundle bed in the living area for children under 16 years old, and a porch outside covered by latticework. The estate's ninth bedroom is on the ground level; it's a cozy and simple air-conditioned bedroom and bath with two twin beds. The Cottage's garage contains beach chairs, coolers, and a washer and dryer for your convenience.

St. John is the smallest of the U.S. Virgin Islands. It features beautiful white sand beaches, turquoise waters, colorful coral and tropical fish, and green velvet hills. Two thirds of the island is the Virgin Islands National Park so the gorgeous beaches and forests will remain untouched and be accessible to everyone. Tour the national park by jeep or safari bus or hike the trails led by a park ranger. St. John is a peaceful, uncommercialized paradise yet still offers every facility and amenity that a resort has to offer. There is lots to do whether it be on land or in the water.

The St. John region
St. John is a spectacular Virgin Island with exceptional Caribbean beaches. It's also located close to many other nearby Virgin Islands including St. Thomas, Jost Van Dyke, Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Peter, Norman, Cooper, Beef, Frenchman's Cay, Eustatia, Prickly Pear, and Anegeda.
St. John is world known as being a luxury villas destination. Most of the accommodations on the island are privately owned villas that are available for let. St. John is well known for its well-preserved natural beauty and attractive beaches, having 60% of the island designated as National Parks. Restricted development and preservation in St. John contrasts heavily with such adjacent and more developed islands such as St. Thomas and St. Maarten. St. John is a travel and honeymoon destination with two main resorts and one of the top ten beaches in the world. The island's high level of affluence has earned it the distinction of being the "Beverly Hills of the Caribbean."
Cruz Bay Town in St. John is your ferry stop island entrance full of great restaurants, shops, places to stay, watersport outfitters, bars, and other points of attraction. Enjoy Wharfside Village, Pusser's Landing, and other funky centers.
Coral Bay, once a secluded fishing village, is home to more great restaurants, bars, and shops. About 20 minutes away from Cruz Bay by car, it's a must see part of this island paradise.

In July of 2011, after a two year closure, the Mill reopened along the banks of the Cannon River and with a nod to our heritage, we chose the Revival Stripe blanket as our first release. With its traditional trapper design, this three stripe blanket has been part of the Faribault Woolen Mill line for decades. Now constructed in our finest merino wool and double woven to create a lush, heavy weight blanket, the Revival Stripe is our premium, flagship blanket.
- 85% Merino wool / 15% cotton - Dry clean only - MADE IN AMERICA

Brandon Davis looks for a teammate in this Jan. 25 file photo. Davis contributed 21 points and 20 rebounds in Friday's win over Langston.
LSUS men's coach Kyle Blankenship expected Langston to play zone defense, meaning 3-pointers would be available at any time.
Cue Bossier product Joseph James.
The junior made all five of his 3-pointers in the first half and scored a season-high 26 points as the No. 13 Pilots ran away from Langston 99-71. ...
