>Hostas like Great Expectations, Patriot & June ... are being offered
>to retail Nurseries in Ontario for $2.50 each right now, in a half
>price sale.
I think that a lot of people who have been commenting of this hoasts
at Wal-Mart thread are missing a point. A lot of the speciality
nurseries are basically mon and pop businesses and many are also
basically hobbyist business. In a hobby business you want to make
enough money to cover your costs, but the income you generate isn't
your life blood. On the other hand you have people who are in the
horticulture business growing and selling plants just like Ford Motor
Company builds and sells cars. When you are in the business as your
livelihood you look at things differently then the hobbyist business.
The hobbyist business may not consider the cost of dividing and
potting up hostas because they don't have to pay themselves a salary.
However, when the business person tells his employees to divide and
pot up hostas he has to pay them for their labor. If a hobbyist
business has too many potted hostas they can dump them on the compost
pile, but if the business person did that he might as well take
thousands of dollars and burn it because that would be in effect what
they would be doing.
It really doesn't make too much difference to me just what hosta is in
a pot, assuming it isn't difficult to propagate. It costs me the same
amount of money for the pots and potting mix and it takes the same
amount of time to pot up a cheap hosta as an expensive hosta, and a
gallon pot takes up the same amount of space regardless of whats in
the pot. Thus, after awhile hostas that are being sold through the
wholesale chain to stores like Wal-Mart are basically worth the same.
Thus, after awhile you will see better and better quality hostas as
the better quality hostas are TCed. After awhile enough plants are
built up so that normal increase can supply all the plants needed. I
could take potted plants of Francee and Patriot to Wal-Mart for the
same price. Not getting into any argument as to which is the better
plant, I bet Wal-Mart's customers will buy more Patriot then Francee
and I'll make more money selling Patriot then Francee. Once I have
the same stock of Patriot as Francee it doesn't make much different to
me which one Wal-Mart would want.
Another point that needs to be considered when looking at any plant
items at the mass marketers is the UPC bar code. Most nurseries don't
have UPC codes for every product they have. They may have a code for
one gallon pots, two gallon pots or quart pots. Thus, everything in a
gallon pot has to be sold to the marketer for the same price. This is
a problem a nursery friend of mine has.

That makes a lot of sense to me. I've suspected that the red bearded
dark vlt/black are actually zonals, which are plicata with four sets
of the luminata gene, and that the broken colour plants are a mix of
different plicata alleles with two luminata genes present. The vlt
background is one anthrocyanin pigment which I suspect is not
affected by the plicata genes. I've seen several examples of this.
The darker splashes are one of the anthocyanion pigments that are
affected by the plicata gene. black seemsd to be a combination of
various anthocyanins which are different enough to have indepdant
expression. This fits well with the theories that I'm currently
chassing down. I tried using Romantic Evening last year and had no
takes with it as pod or pollen parent. I'll try again.

In Afghanistan: A Distant War, his images tell the stories of military leaders, the Taliban, ordinary citizens, and American soldiers who are only the latest in a long line of occupying forces, most of whom withdrew unhappily. Many of Nickelsberg's photographs show important events or military action, but some of the most affecting portray nothing more than Aghan people trying to get on with their lives. November 2001: Standing beside a wall bombed by U.S. aircraft in Chowkar Karez, Kandahar province, an Afghan shepherd shouts to his children to lead their flock of goats over to him. All images taken from Afghanistan: A Distant War, by Robert Nickelsberg (Prestel) Robert NickelsbergMAY 1988: An Afghan soldier hands a flag in solidarity to a departing Soviet soldier in Kabul on the first day of the army's withdrawal from Afghanistan.Robert NickelsbergJalalabadMarch 1989: Afghan mujahideen move toward the front line during the battle of Jalalabad. Robert NickelsbergKhostApril 1991: a mujahideen fighter outside Khost, the first city in Afghanistan to be liberated from communist rule since the Soviet invasion in 1979. Robert NickelsbergMARCH 1993: Two Afghans help a wounded civilian through cross fire during a battle between rival factions in Kabul. Robert NickelsbergKandaharJanuary 1995: Laboratory equipment and research books lie strewn about the floor of a science classroom in a Kandahar school, an area controlled by the Taliban. Robert NickelsbergKabulOctober 1996: A Taliban mullah speaks to a crowd gathered in central in Kabul after Taliban forces took control from the Rabbani government. Robert NickelsbergHeratFebruary 2001: At the Maslakh camp for newly arrived IDP's (internally displaced people), Afghans fleeing the effects of a severe drought and serious lack of food, arrive at Herat city seeking emergency shelter and rations. The United Nations Office for Afghanistan has estimated 80,000 Afghans have arrived from western provinces to several Herat camps at the rate of 25-50 families per day. Coordination of relief aid has been hampered by frequent disagreements and confusion with the ruling Taliban government. Figures vary from 150 to 450 people dying due to exposure and respirtory illnesses since mid-january 2001. Here, men and a mullah wash the dead body of a one year old baby, Abdullah, before the traditional islamic burial. The baby died from a flu after sleeping with no shelter outdoors during a rainstorm with his family.

Robert NickelsbergJalrezMarch 2009: An American soldier shaking hands with an Afghan youth outside Jalrez in Wardak province. On the hill where they stand, overlooking apple orchards,there are still trenches that were dug two decades earlier by Afghan mujahideen fighting against Soviet forces.

Yea but the entire POINT of Sandbox is that you DO what you want. Inevitably PvP ensues. Forcing PvE into a sandbox takes away pretty much EVERY aspect of a sandbox.
If it doesn't have PvE in the first place, it isn't a sandbox to begin with.
Forcing PvE into a PvP game pretty much destroys the whole concept of the game. That sort of decision needs to be made when you are originally designing the game from the ground, up.
The only pve Planetside 1 had was the shooting gallery, you want pve in Planetside 2? HAH
So I checked out Firefall that was suggested here. And it actually reminds me Tabula Rasa, mixed with Borderlands and somewhat of...what was that one game...made by...HiRes Studios...forgot the name of it...but looks similar to that. But they seemed to have gotten a lot of ideas from TR.
So, thanks for that suggestion guys
As for PS2. I respect it for what it is, I like FPS games and this one is a neverending one. I just don't like pvp 24/7, but since PS2 is free I can play whenever.
My Skyrim website (mods, screenshots, stories and other games I play(ed)
PVE in Planetside will not work.
Given the IP's history, the Community itself that they built, and the game mechanics, budget, and time.
putting PVE in planetside 2 would be so tacked it, it would make SWTORS tacked on space rail shooter look like a good idea.
Smedley spoke about PVE aspects now and then, bouncing ideas with the devs and community on how he thinks it might work.
the closest youll get of anything remotely PVE would be NPC enemies/targets that you would be able to shoot at (animals for example) or they would be able to attack you ( ancient alien vanu).
but anything beyond that would be a waste, both financially and philosophically -- it would down right be a bold face lie that the community, the planetside community would not stand for after SOE relgiously promoted about wanting things to be seamless and persistant.
SOE would be out of their damn minds to start putting in instant Raid type enemies in PS2, and to speak bluntly, id rather see a return of BFRs and all their broken glory before PS2 starts clamoring for ideas of how to implement purple loot into the game-- yes im biased..

This has been talked about and bounced around, and also the only type of idea that wasnt steamed rolled unanimously with a resounding no by the community.
me personally it would have to be strictly event/random based much like PS1's rabbit , cowboy events - that way it doesnt get stale, it changes the situation drastically for all 3 sides.
I'd rather the series stick to what it's known to do well than try to branch out to please everyone. That's been a large problem with a lot of recent games.
If you are looking for a PvE shooter MMO though, Fallen Earth and Neocron are worth looking at.
Hilarious. I thought this was a Darkfall thread when I clicked on it (as the recent forum post beneath this thread was a DF one), and was thinking oh, man, not another one. Has there ever been a PVP sandbox mmo where we didn't see these kinds of "put in PVE" threads?
While I do not think they should be focusing on much in the way of PVE in PS2, I believe the OP is right about the lack of some decent PVE sandbox titles. From my perspective there does seem to be enough demand. I'd certainly give one a fair shot.
"Mr. Rothstein, your people never will understand... the way it works out here. You're all just our guests. But you act like you're at home. Let me tell you something, partner. You ain't home. But that's where we're gonna send you if it harelips the governor." - Pat Webb
Holy hell you cannot possible be serious? Of course not, it probably the most arrogant and dumbest post I've read in here. Nice trolling I guess.

Indeed. People no longer simply ignore games they have no interest in, they seem to think that every game should be changed to suit them. Often saying "oh they'd make more moneyz".
No doubt there is demand for a PVE sandbox, trying to convert PVP sandboxes or PVP games into one though, yeah that's a shit idea.
Welcome to Quake Arena: The Pacifist Edition, in which the intrepid player wanders around an arena talking to other players about ponies and sunshine.
Having said that i'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the OP is parodying the lame ass threads like this we see about Darkfall every other day.
"Come and have a look at what you could have won."
no lol omg wtf >.> if you want PVE go play LOTRO... if you want sci-fi PVE go play SWTOR
Enter a whole new realm of challenge and adventure.
Personally I hop into Planetside 2 to get away from PvE and the general MMO mumbo jumbo. I get plenty of MMO gameplay from all sorts of MMO's on the market today. But I jump into Planetside for some good action and fun.
Please for the love of all that's holy, don't turn this into a PvE game. The problem with PvE in itself is that if they do add PvE, they'll have to force everybody to play PvE, and they'll have to worry about balancing the game between PvP & PvE. It'll be a mess. Just let Planetside 2 be Planetside 2. If you need PvE fix, there are plenty of games for that out there.
For those that say you can get bored playing PvP after awhile, well duh, it's a game, you sit down and play to have fun. You have to log sometime, you also change games from time to time when you are tired of one game. Happens all the time. But seeing that Planetside 2 does not require a subscription, I don't see it as a problem.

The video features blood, murder, ropes, wayward hitchiking girls and Danny Trejo. Yes-yes, I know I had you at "Danny Trejo."
This is off Maylene's latest record "IV." I have been playing it non-stop while I write the insert for THE MVP. I also tossed up a quick review on the record and a better description of Maylene's sound in a forum post, right here.

I used ELI in 1993 to construct a compiler for a language called Fourier (Ada like) for a contract with the Canadian Government. It was the coolest compiler writing experience ever. Operator overloading was a breeze, type analysis, semantics, even command line options, etc. were all a breeze. Imagine using space age tech to write a compiler while all these people around telling that YACC or BISON is a --ehm-- compiler generator. No they are not. They are parser generators. I definitely agree: Eli: Translator Construction Made Easy.

Anything is better than Brandon Weeden lol.
Vick can't play a full season

we may get more turnovers when we play them ;)
just checked twitter; he's also speculating Cards and Jets. Pure speculation
Giving up on a QB one year after drafting him is so typical of the Browns. No chance Vick to Cleveland happens if they hire a new coach, no coach is going to come in knowing he's going to be saddled with that coach killer. I could see it in a place like Arizona or NYJ where the coaches are nearly dead men walking as it is.
I can't see the Browns giving up on Weeden that easily. Weeden may be older, but he has probably been the best QB the Browns have had in a very long time. The Browns may want to look at finding a younger project guy to groom behind Weeden, but going for Vick would be a waste of time, IMO.
I think the Ravens should grab him.

The weather is turning cooler, the kids are back in school and the leaves will soon change colors...a sure sign that fall is here.
Here are five easy fall home improvement projects [1] you can tackle in a weekend or less:
Seal Leaks. Doors, windows and electrical outlets are common culprits. With energy prices continuing to climb, energy and money saving measures can be a big help. Air leakage [2] accounts for between 25 and 40 percent of the energy used for heating and cooling a typical home. Before the weather gets too cold, check around doors, windows and joints in building materials for air leakage.
There are many products available for air sealing [3] in your home including caulks, sealants and insulating foams. A common spot for leaks is behind outlets on outside walls. Purchase inexpensive outlet gaskets and put them behind the outlet covers to seal them up. One place you DO want leaks in in your attic. A well-ventilated attic [4] is the key to a warmer house.
Clean Air. In cooler weather we all spend more time indoors, where the air is often 25 times more polluted than the air outdoors. The solution is a whole house air cleaner [5]. Unlike the seen-on-TV room air cleaners, a whole house air cleaner is built-in to your home's heating and cooling system. As a result, it can clean the entire home. High efficiency units not only remove dust, but also removes bacteria that causes colds and flu. Professionally installed whole house air cleaners can also help extend the life of your heating and cooling equipment, and is a good fall home improvement project.
Add a Programmable Thermostat. Did you know that programmable thermostats [6] could help you save money and energy all year long? They allow you to control your home's climate around the clock, winter and summer -- without any additional effort. In fact, setting the thermostat to control the operation of your central air conditioner can also manage excess humidity in the home and reduce your overall cooling bills.
To maximize energy savings, install the thermostat away from natural cool or hot spots. In hot summer months, set the thermostat several degrees higher when you're away. During the colder weather, program the thermostat a few degrees cooler while you'll be gone. Most programmable thermostats [7] have multiple settings, allowing you to adjust accordingly and save a few extra dollars while you're on vacation. An example of a programmed day during the winter is to have the temperature lower during the night, warming up before everyone rises for the day, dropping once everyone leaves the house and warming up again before everyone returns home. Programmable thermostats [8] are available for as little as $50 and installing them is a simple fall home improvement project for a service professional.
Prep for Storms. Be it sleet, snow or something in between, winter storms can wreak havoc just about anywhere. In fact, each year 75% of all Americans experience a power outage. A backup generator [9]is a great idea, especially if your household has young children, elderly residents or anyone with special needs. A great type of backup power to consider is a generator that will automatically take over the running of your home's electrical appliances if power is suddenly cut off. Running on your home's natural gas or propane, there's no messy gasoline to handle or extension cords to connect. A generator provides worry-free safety and security in sizes ranging from 7,000 to 150,000 watts.
Tweaks and Squeaks. Before winter's corrosive weather sets in, homeowners are wise to give their homes the once over with a can of WD-40 [10]. With windows and doors to lubricate, squeaky hinges to silence and much more, no home should be without WD-40.
Fall is the time to dig in and do the easy fall home improvement projects [11] you'll need to get your home ready for winter.

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
The United States Department of Health and Human Services (the "Department") issued the "Omnibus" Final Rule (the "Final Rule") on January 17th, 2013. The Final Rule contains long-awaited rules and clarifications regarding the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ("HIPAA") Privacy, Security and Enforcement Rules and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act ("HITECH Act"). Most of the provisions of the Final Rule are effective September 23, 2013.
This Alert is the first of our summaries of the major aspects of the Final Rule. Forthcoming future alerts will summarize changes made by the Final Rule to the HIPAA Security Rule, business associate obligations, and business associate agreements, among other major provisions. We will post more in depth reviews of these significant changes in our DW Health Law Blog located at http://www.dwhealthlawblog.com/ - you may want to "follow" our blog to receive notifications of new posts.
Revisions to the Rules on Breach Notification.
The Final Rule significantly modified the HIPAA/HITECH Act breach notification rules relating to the procedures that covered entities or business associates, as applicable, must take when determining whether a breach of unsecured protected health information ("PHI") requires notification to affected individuals, the Secretary of the Department or the media.
Under the Final Rule there is now a presumption that an impermissible use or disclosure of PHI is a breach unless the covered entity or business associate, as applicable, demonstrates that there is a low probability that the PHI has been compromised. The shift to this presumption represents a significant burden on covered entities and business associates, and as a result covered entities and business associates, as applicable, will need to document in a detailed and comprehensive fashion their risk assessment review and conclusion regarding impermissible uses or disclosures of unsecured PHI, even if they ultimately determine that the use or disclosure was not a breach.
The new "low probability" standard replaces the previous "harm standard" that was set forth in the Interim Final Rule (issued by the Department October 30, 2009) (the "IFR"), representing a more objective approach to the determination of whether a breach has occurred. Under the Final Rule, a covered entity's determination of whether there is a "low probability" that PHI was compromised must address, at the least, the following four factors:
Further, after addressing each of the above stated factors, the covered entity or business associate must evaluate the overall probability that the PHI was compromised by considering all factors in combination. The Department clarified that a covered entity or business associate may choose to automatically provide the required notification following an impermissible use or disclosure of PHI without performing a risk assessment to determine if one is necessary.
The Final Rule also removed the exception to the breach notification rule that was applicable to "limited data sets" which was previously issued in the IFR. Under that exception, an impermissible use or disclosure of PHI that qualified as a limited data set but excluded dates of birth and zip codes, was not considered a "breach." Now, even in those cases the covered entity will need to conduct a risk assessment using the above-described criteria to determine whether a breach occurred.
The Final Rule addressed and clarified a number of detailed questions raised by commenters. For example, it clarified that uses or disclosures that impermissibly involve more than the minimum necessary information may qualify as breaches, even though such information if disclosed to a business associate or as an internal use within a covered entity or business associate, may have a low probability that the PHI was compromised since the information was not acquired by a third party. Further, the Department declined to in the following situation provide an explicit exception to the definition of "breach": in the event a laptop is lost and recovered and a forensic analysis shows that the PHI on the computer was not accessed (instead the covered entity would need to go through its risk assessment and may determine that as a result there is a low probability that the PHI was compromised). The Department noted that if a computer is lost or stolen, it is not reasonable to delay breach notification based on the hope that it will be recovered.
As a result of the new "low probability" standard, covered entities and business associates will need to examine and revise their breach notification policies and procedures prior to the September 23, 2013 effective date.
Revisions to the Notice of Privacy Practices ("NPP").
The Privacy Rule prescribes certain information that must be included in a covered entity's NPP, including a statement advising individuals that any use or disclosure of PHI other than those permitted by the Privacy Rule will be made only with written authorization of the individual, and that the individual has the right to revoke an authorization. The Final Rule expands a covered entity's disclosure obligations by requiring that the NPP specifically state that uses and disclosures of PHI for marketing purposes and the sale of PHI require an individual's written authorization. Also, if the covered entity records or maintains psychotherapy notes, then its NPP must include a statement that uses and disclosures of psychotherapy notes require an individual's written authorization.
Besides the specific disclosures regarding written authorization, the Final Rule requires that a covered entity that intends to contact an individual for fundraising purposes to disclose in its NPP that it may contact the individual to raise funds, and that the individual has the right to opt out of receiving such communications. If the covered entity is a health plan and it uses or discloses PHI for underwriting purposes, then its NPP must state that the covered entity is prohibited from using or disclosing genetic information for such purposes. All covered entities must include in their NPP a statement of the right of affected individuals to be notified following a breach of unsecured PHI. Finally, for a covered entity other than a group health plan, the NPP must inform individuals of their right to restrict certain disclosures of PHI to a health plan where the individual pays out of pocket in full for the health care item or service.
The Department has determined that these changes are material, and each covered entity must take certain actions to advise the individual of the change in the NPP and make available the revised NPPs. If the covered entity is a group health plan that currently posts its NPP on its website, then it must prominently post information about the material changes or its revised NPP on its website by the compliance date, September 23, 2013, and it must provide the revised NPP or information about the material changes and how to obtain the revised NPP in its next annual mailing to the individuals covered by the plan or during the next open enrollment period. Group health plans that do not maintain customer service websites must provide the revised NPP or information describing the material changes and how to obtain the revised NPP to individuals covered by the plan within 60 days of the compliance date.
Marketing and Fundraising Communcations
Disclosures of PHI for "Marketing" Purposes.
The HIPAA Privacy Rule, at 45 C.F.R. § 164.508(a)(3) (the "Privacy Rule"), requires that covered entities obtain a valid authorization from individuals before using or disclosing PHI to "market" a product or service. The term "marketing" means "to make a communication about a product or service that encourages recipients of the communication to purchase or use the product or service" and generally excepts communications for treatment and health care operations purposes from this definition. The Final Rule's changes to the definition of "marketing" concern its exceptions, which are now dependent upon the "financial remuneration" received, if any.
The new definition specifies that "marketing" does not include a communication made to provide refill reminders or otherwise communicate about a drug or biologic that is currently being prescribed for the individual, but only if any financial remuneration received by the covered entity in exchange for making the communication is reasonably related to the covered entity's cost of making the communication. Falling within this exception are communications about the generic equivalent of a drug being prescribed to an individual as well as adherence communications encouraging individuals to take their prescribed medication as directed. Where an individual is prescribed a self-administered drug or biologic, communications regarding all aspects of a drug delivery system, including, for example, an insulin pump, also fall under this exception. The Department intends to provide future guidance to address the scope of this exception.
Additionally, the definition of "marketing" does not include a communication made for the following treatment and health care operations purposes, except where the covered entity receives financial remuneration in exchange for making the communication:
The Privacy Rule defines "financial remuneration" to mean "direct or indirect payment from or on behalf of a third party whose product or service is being described." The definition clarifies that "direct or indirect payment" does not include any payment for treatment of an individual. However, the term "financial remuneration" does not include non-financial benefits, such as in-kind benefits, provided to a covered entity in exchange for making a communication about a product or service. Rather, financial remuneration includes only payments made in exchange for making such communications. In addition, the financial remuneration a covered entity receives from a third party must be for the purpose of making a communication and such communication must encourage individuals to purchase or use the third party's product or service. If the financial remuneration received by the covered entity is for any purpose other than for making the communication, then this marketing provision does not apply. Finally, permissible costs for which a covered entity may receive remuneration under this exception are those which cover only the costs of labor, supplies, and postage to make the communication. Where the financial remuneration a covered entity receives in exchange for making the communication generates a profit or includes payment for other costs, such financial remuneration would run afoul of the HITECH Act's "reasonable in amount" language.
Combining the new definition of "marketing" with the Privacy Rule's authorization requirement, it follows that for marketing communications that involve financial remuneration, the covered entity must obtain a valid authorization from the individual before using or disclosing PHI for such purposes, and such authorization must disclose the fact that the covered entity is receiving financial remuneration from a third party. Additionally, where a business associate (including a subcontractor), as opposed to the covered entity itself, receives financial remuneration from a third party in exchange for making a communication about a product or service, such communication also requires prior authorization from the individual.
Disclosures of PHI for "Fundraising" Purposes.
The Final Rule amended the fundraising provisions of the Privacy Rule, significantly expanding the PHI that may be used for fundraising purposes to include:
Of course, a covered entity must still apply the minimum necessary standard to ensure that only the minimum amount of PHI necessary to accomplish the intended purpose is used or disclosed.
Concurrent with this expansion in PHI that may be disclosed, the Final Rule expanded upon the requirements of a covered entity that uses PHI for fundraising purposes. Previously, a covered entity that planned to use or disclose PHI for fundraising was required to (1) inform individuals in its notice of privacy practices that it might contact them to raise funds for the covered entity (as discussed in the following section), (2) include in any fundraising materials it sent to an individual a description of how the individual may opt out of receiving future fundraising communications, and (3) make "reasonable efforts" to ensure that individuals who did opt out were not sent future fundraising communications. Now, under the Final Rule, covered entities that use or disclose PHI for fundraising purposes are subject to the following requirements:

The Impact of OSHA Inspections on Manufacturing Injury Rates
This paper estimates the effects of OSHA inspections on injury rates at the plant level. The methodology involves comparing injury rates of plants inspected "early" in a given year with those inspected "late" in the year, after controlling for prior injury rates and other factors. The results suggest that OSHA inspections in 1973 reduced injury rates by about 16 percent, but that 1974 inspections had no statistically significant impact.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings went into the 2013 season with five defensive linemen -- Jared Allen, Brian Robison, Kevin Williams, Everson Griffen and Fred Evans -- in the final years of their contracts. It stood to reason the team would try to lock up a couple of those players before they hit free agency, but it seemed hard to believe all of them would be in a Vikings uniform next season.
On Wednesday, we saw the first steps of the Vikings' plan. And as expected, it began with some of their younger players.
Robison, who turned 30 in April, signed a four-year, $28.3 million contract extension on Wednesday. And 25-year-old defensive end Everson Griffen said the Vikings have offered him a contract extension, but "it wasn't in the ballpark" of what his camp wanted. "We're just working on it right now," he said.
All that leads to an obvious question: What is next for Allen?
Allen said before the season that the Vikings did not ask him to reduce his contract, which carries a cap number of $17.06 million, and Allen is playing out a deal that has not been renegotiated since it started in 2008. That is a rare thing in the NFL these days, but for the Vikings to extract any money from the final year of Allen's deal, they would have had to offer him a contract extension, which Allen said before the season had not happened.
Allen has been one of the league's best defensive ends for most of his career, and has 3 1/2 sacks in four games this year. But he will be 32 before next season, and has expressed his excitement about hitting the open market next spring. When he is still the Vikings' most productive defensive end, and he is this close to free agency, locking Allen up at this point would cost the Vikings plenty. The biggest bill they have coming due in 2014 might be tight end Kyle Rudolph, who will be in the final year of his rookie contract, but even if the Vikings had cap room, it is possible they would not want to have long-term commitments to three defensive ends, especially when two of them are older than 30.
Williams voided the final year of his contract when he renegotiated his deal this spring, and if the six-time Pro Bowler comes back to the Vikings next year, it probably wouldn't be on a large contract, especially with rookie Sharrif Floyd in the fold. The Vikings' moves to lock up -- or at least offer contracts to -- their younger players might be another signal that Allen, too, could be joining Williams on the way out, in what would be a major turnover for one of the league's most successful defensive lines.
