North Jersey library director hopes smart phone

The township library has launched a smart-phone and tablet application that enables users to get into the electronic catalog, renew borrowed books and place holds on other books. It also connects them to New Jerseys digital library, where they borrow e-books and scan bookstore ISBN codes to see if Waynes collection carries the book before they decide to buy it. The Bergen County Cooperative Library System plans to release a similar app this summer.

"The number of smart-phone users is constantly going up,Choose the right bestluggagetag in an array of colors." said Robert White, director of the consortium of 73 local libraries in Bergen and Hudson counties. "We have to do something to meet their needs."

In my 10 years of putting together mock drafts, never has there been a more frustrating sense of non-committal amongst the teams drafting in the top 10 as there is in 2013. In fact, there is a startling lack of clarity in the intentions of all 32 teams,You can order besthandsfreeaccess cheap inside your parents. which is a mild upset with less than a week to go until draft day (set to kickoff Thursday, April 25th and continue through the weekend). Even the team drafting at the very top, the Kansas City Chiefs, have provided little insight into the direction they intend to go when their name is in lights on the Radio City Music Hall scoreboard.

While my annual mock drafts are the standard exhibition of guesswork that defines most every other mock you will come across, typically there is some sense of confidence in at least a dozen of the picks that make those projections feel right (even though just as typically only half of those dozen turn out to be dead on). Needless to say, that feeling is far less prevalent in this installment, making any effort in soothsaying teams' selections more guttural urge than fact-based assessment.

Such a challenge would shrink a mere mortal draftnik, forcing said draft aficionado into a back-alley existence where sating his passion for pick prognostication consists of semi-anonymous blog posts and wordy e-mails to his football-loving buddies. But this will not be the path I take. In fact, as I eschewed hours of quality family time in favor of poring over scouting reports, historic reviews of team tendencies, and DVR'd highlights of the Senior Bowl practice week and NFL Scouting Combine, I actually came to enjoy the mystery that is the 2013 draft. And yes, I am fully aware that this is a telling commentary of the existence I carve out: mediocrity buoyed by attention to irrelevant detail and a passion for the mundane and inconsequential facets of a football career that will forever elude me.

Before I get into the picks, I would be remiss not to mention that, though I took a year off from posting my mock draft on this site, my last attempt at this resulted in a hard-earned victory in Sports Central's impromptu Draft Challenge. Sadly, it does not appear that there will be a rematch in 2013, as my able-bodied foil is not available to submit a mock draft of his own. While disappointed by this unfortunate reality (for all of the back-and-forth slander we cast at one another, I found the competition provided an interesting lean on the event), I still boastfully submit that my mock remains the most accurate (non-professional) assessment on the market and as such I offer a full refund should my picks not support this assertion.

As always, my three-round mock draft includes the added rigor of projecting draft-day trades and includes a detailed write-up of all first round picks, first picks for those teams not picking in round one, and a select few other selections that interest me for whatever reason. On to my projections...

For all the information not coming out of Kansas City, nothing is more telling than one of the few tidbits that have emerged during the lead in to the draft: KC hasn't brought either top tackle in for an interview. For a savvy veteran like Andy Reid, this is not an accident. Smart money says that it is one of those two offensive tackles that Reid is targeting, and Joeckel is the more polished of the two and should be able to step in and start right away.

Most draft prognosticators see Dion Jordan as a better fit teams employing a 3-4 defense than those that lineup in a 4-3 style. That may be true, but two other truths about Jordan's game is he is pretty widely accepted as the best pass rusher available and he is no slouch in pass coverage, either, at times even lining up to defend the slot receiver during his time in Oregon.

The Jags totaled just over 20 sacks a year ago, so there is little doubt they will be looking to improve upon that aspect of their defense through this draft, making Jordan a player of interest to be sure simply on those merits. Another factor that some are overlooking is that new defensive coordinator Gus Bradley, while technically a proponent of the 4-3 defensive look, actually employs more of a hybrid scheme and a rangy, long edge rusher is a key component in that scheme.

Geno Smith is a possibility here, but it just doesn't seem like a smart move for new coach Chip Kelly in his first draft as the Eagles head man. Vick did struggle at times last year (okay, that was generous,You can order besthandsfreeaccess cheap inside your parents. he struggled constantly last year), but he is still very popular as a player than you can sense that the Eagles faithful are excited to see their ultra-mobile QB in an offense that suits his frantic style, at least on paper. They also have an adequate backup QB in Nick Foles, though admittedly he isn't nearly the fit for the up-tempo style Kelly promises to bring to town.

But more than those two factors, the availability of similarly mobile quarterbacks later in this draft (such as Florida State's E.J. Manuel) tells me that reaching for Smith would be a tough sell for the PR department to make. Lotulelei, who has received all the medical clearances he needs to settle those who have him on their radar (Star had a scare at the NFL Combine where tests should an irregularity in his heart,Elpas Readers detect and forward 'Location' and 'State' data from Elpas Active RFID Tags to host besticcard platforms.Elpas Readers detect and forward 'Location' and 'State' data from Elpas Active RFID Tags to host besticcard platforms. but later tests revealed it was likely caused by dehydration and a virus he was fighting at the time), is a safe pick and a good fit as a five-technique DE in Philly's new 3-4 scheme.
