BMW Adapts Vehicle Sensor Technology For USA Track & Field Olympic Training
WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., April 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- BMW, the Official Mobility Partner of the United States Olympic Committee, today announced the completion and hand-off of its first Olympic technology project, a velocity measurement system created in collaboration with sports scientists at the USOC and USA Track & Field. Bryan Clay, 2008 Olympic gold medalist in decathlon, tested the system during the development process.
Nearly one year in development at the BMW Technology Office in Mountain View, Calif., the system captures an athlete in motion and automatically calculates performance metrics for coaches to use in training long jumpers. Beginning today, the technology will be a permanent fixture at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif., and used by athletes hoping to compete in the London 2012 Olympic Games.
By measuring and providing real-time analysis of three key parameters in the execution of a long jump – horizontal approach velocity, vertical take-off velocity and take-off angle – the system is completely unique in its offering to coaches and athletes in training scenarios. BMW developed the technology in response to a real-time data need identified by USA Track & Field, one of four national governing bodies (NGB) sponsored by BMW.
"BMW stands for performance, efficiency and innovation. Drawing on these core values, our engineers have combined automotive engineering expertise with advanced technologies to develop a system that will drive athletic performance and provide real world benefits to elite athletes," said Dan Creed, Vice President, Marketing, BMW of North America. "We are thrilled to be making a meaningful contribution to Team USA beyond a financial commitment."To capture and analyze athlete motion, the velocity measurement system utilizes advanced stereo-vision technology and machine vision software algorithms not unlike those currently being tested in BMW's research vehicles to improve automotive active safety systems, such as object and pedestrian detection.

I am Aaron Petersen – Blacksmith. (In Welsh 'Aaron y Gof'). I am a worker of that most magical of materials, iron. Iron is a material like no other. Steeped in history and myth its use in decorative and functional objects goes back to the early Celts. The Blacksmith is not to be mistaken for a farrier, someone who shoes horses. Unless you want your horse trotting round on a couple of pairs of 12 inch high candelabra you are probably best off finding a good farrier (highly skilled and trained equine specialists). What I produce is high quality, hand forged, metal work for the home, workplace and public spaces
I have been designing and producing ironwork both full time and part time for over two decades. I trained as part of the family business, started by my father, and continued by myself and my brothers. I have been wielding a hammer almost since I could lift one. I obtained my arts training via Newport Art College, leaving in 1987 with a BA (hons) in fine art in 1987.

How to get position at UnitedHealth Group/Blue Cross Blue shield - page 3
Hello :) How are you?... Read More
- 1Sep 16, '11 by beachyfeQuote from grnteabcbs is no place for beginners. they have zero interest in training newbies as case managers, disease managers, or utilization review people for their complex suite of insurance plans when there are plenty of people with applicable experience (including case management and good familiarity with insurance products) to be had.
i don't think this is necessarily true. i had no experience in cm, dm, or um when i answered an ad for a case manager. i did have 16 yrs of clinical nursing experience, but nothing in insurance or business. i was trained on-site for 6 wks, then began working at home. i've done cm, dm, and um from home for 5 yrs now and last year got my ccm certification. so, there are some companies that are willing to train "newbies."
i would suggest using a cover letter, though, no matter what type of job you apply for. this is expected of a professional. even if you apply online, there is usually a way to upload a resume and cover letter. i do not include references on my resume, but write "references upon request." on an online application, though, i do list my references if they ask. best luck finding the position you want.
- 0Sep 16, '11 by kcmylornbeachyfe- I have accepted a position as a home based CM for an insurance co. How do you like working at home? Can you give me any info on the pros/cons of working from home. I do not have any young children at home so distraction is not an issue. I am still undecided about leaving my current position, which I like and I like my co-workers. I am also feeling that if I turn this position down, there will not be any more chance of getting another like this and that for an older experienced RN- this is where all my nursing peers are and this is the only place for us where we are accepted and respected for our experience.. All I have seen of the insurance nurse CM is the video on the company's web site, which is only going to give the positives about the position. This would be my first venture into work from home, CM, UM and DM. I want to get out of clinical nursing, no more hospital bedside for me(after 30+years) but I am so afraid to take the leap. My current position is temporary. The insurance co is permanent- no probation period but 3 months orientation. The clinic position is approx some(20%) face to face clinical, mostly telephonic- med refils, referrals and sx based(sending pt's to ED, urgentcare, or doctor's appt's) in a clinic but not CM/UM/DM. The patient population at the clinic is "extremely" demanding and get their way even if it's against provider better judgement.
I have accepted the position in the insurance co as a CM, will be from home, no home visits but am still on the fence about it. I have not quit my clinic position yet. I talked to another older nurse, who has never worked telephone CM but told me- it's quota's each month???? This has kind of scared me off. I was told at the interview I would have a case load of 100 patients/month of complex medical patients, some will need every 2 week reviews.
Any thoughts on what I'm in for?? Thanks
- 0Sep 19, '11 by rkm1005Hello,
I too tried and tried to get into BCBS for pre certification and discharge planning. Are you in Michigan? If so, try one of the agency's they will get you in on the 24/7 nurse line or the quit smoking program and if your lucky they will hire you permenately, once that happens you can apply for other positions internally. Agency's to try A-Line staffing solutions and Aerotek Scientific. I have seen postings for other agency's in other states so if you are not in Michigan try agency's in your state. Beware, pay is awful, I am making $6 less per hour than my last job and as a contracter there is no shift diff or weekend diff, you are expected to work holidays for no extra compensation, weekends are not every other-- some people work three in a row others work only one, its 10 hour shifts which sound great, but you never get three days off in a row. From Sept. 9th -15th I worked 60 hours with 1 day off, this is because pay period ended on Sat. the 10th. Its rough, but if you want to get your foot in the door without CM experience this is the only way I know of. Scheduling is done very poorly, requests were to be in 2 weeks ago NO EXCEPTIONS! and the schedule is yet to be seen, with only 10 days left on the current schedule; not that it matters because when it does come out it could very possibly change! I get the impression that management could care less if you have a life, or children, but they all know what their schedules are. I know all of this sounds bad, but I am not used to being treated this way, coming from a hospital setting where you are compensated for your off shift, weekend and holiday time and where managers have a brain in there head and don't schedule the afternoon nurses to work every single friday on the schedule. On the up side, if you manage to get hired as a BCBS employee they do pay weekend diff and holiday pay and if you can get off the 24/7 line it will be mon-fri with no holidays and they have a lot of holidays, like "black friday". The job itself is not bad, you just have to decide if you can put up with the above to get your foot in the door, no guarantees. For me, I'm looking for another job, I don't have time to wait around while they decide on hiring and the schedule is hell on my kids. Hope this helps, good luck!!
- 1Sep 22, '11 by beachyfeQuote from kcmylorni did 2 months of training and it took between 1-2 yrs before i really felt like an "expert" at the job. it was a big learning curve because this is all about business and insurance. a totally different ballgame from nursing. but i learned it and also got my certification in case management (ccm) last year. i've learned a whole new field and widened my opportunities. good luck - hope you like it.how do you like working at home? i love working from home, but you have to be very self motivated. no supervisor looking over your shoulder or others to see what you're doing. but if you're a self-starter, then it's a dream come true. i can wake up at 8:15am and log in to the computer at my starting time of 8:30am. eventually i get dressed, cleaned up, and have breakfast. can you give me any info on the pros/cons of working from home. for me, the best part of being at home is not having to drive to and from work (especially in bad weather). even if i might have to work longer than my shift (which happens often), i think about how i would have spent an extra 1.5 hrs driving everyday, so it doesn't seem to be a big deal to work a little over. some people don't like being alone all day - personally i don't mind (i'm talking on the phone to patients all day long) and i actually enjoy not being in a gossipy group of women. i can turn the radio to whatever music i like and throw a load of laundry in when needed. this is the only place for us where we are accepted and respected for our experience. this is somewhat true - no one is judging you by how you look. i have accepted the position in the insurance co as a cm, will be from home, no home visits but am still on the fence about it. i have not quit my clinic position yet. i talked to another older nurse, who has never worked telephone cm but told me- it's quota's each month???? this has kind of scared me off. i was told at the interview i would have a case load of 100 patients/month of complex medical patients, some will need every 2 week reviews. it's true that your productivity is based on the amount of time you spend working a case. it's called "billable hours", just like an attorney. if you think about it, how else can your company make sure you're actually doing a full day's work rather than sitting around watching tv or messing around on facebook?? so, when you contact your patient, talk to them, then document it all on the computer chart, you bill for the time it took you - but only for as much time as the company allows. basically, you have to work pretty fast and are expected to do alot. we have to have 80% of our workday as billable hours-->so if you work 8 hrs a day, then you must get at least 6.4 billable hours per day. keeping this up is part of your evaluation. my caseload is also 100 patients. it's alot and will keep you very busy; i probably call 15-20 patients a day, do their documentation, and do auths/certifications for hospital stays. btw, everything you do is recorded and can be seen by management. they record (and listen to) all your phone calls and keep a close eye on your charts, daily patient call list, billable hours, amount of activities you complete each day, etc. again, this is so they can be sure all their remote employees are really working. i used to get frustrated with not being able to spend as much time as i'd like talking with a patient, but you just can't or you'll get too far behind. not much different than any other type of nursing job, though, is it? despite all this, i think the pros outweigh the cons. oh, be sure you do some daily exercise or you'll end up with a "chair butt" from sitting still 8 hrs a day.
any thoughts on what i'm in for?? thanks
- 0Sep 25, '11 by FaceinthecrowdQuote from pa715Good advice. I was hired as a Medicare CM after doing home health for years. It will be well worth the investment.I would suggest doing home health for a few years before transitioning into this type of position. I just got a job with a similar company with 2+ years of HH. You'll learn case management as well as the insurance woes. Good Luck!

Cover letters are a must! you shouldn't have to send in references until you get to the point where they have interviewed you and said they're gonna check your references. imo.
- 0Sep 2, '12 by LVN10Hi, I'm interested in persuing a position at United Healthcare, but as you said in your post United doesn't hire very often.
I've noticed there's not many positions for LVN's at United Healthcare. Do they hire LVNs for Case Mgmt or Care Coordinator or Clinical Claims Review? Any advice on how to get on with the company, would be helpful. My email is listed below:
- 0Sep 5, '12 by bluesy51I worked for them .. and I have to tell you . They are bad news. You feel like you are in a slave ship.
they watch your every move. there is no autonomy there. they do not treat you like a professional.
And furthermore they are downsizing .. sending jobs to India and the Phillipines. They also use a lot of contract employees so they can fire them without cause when they send your job overseas.
- 0Sep 15, '12 by beekerQuote from mtngrlWhat was your background / experience before getting hired? Any tips?I work for United Healthcare as care coordinator in TN. I'm surprised someone said BlueCross doesn't give much orientation. I got 5 weeks at United, and they continually do ongoing training.What was your background before getting hired? It seems to me they do not hire very often. We NEED more people! Or we will be working even more than we already do....which is a LOT.I think they are a good company to work for.

Community College Students Without Access to Federal Loans
This report from the Institute for College Access and Success warns that many community colleges block access to federal student loans. This seem to be an ironic consequence of the federal government's efforts to set standards (completion rates, etc.): schools that admit lots of high-risk students are reluctant to participate in federal loan programs, so the students wind up taking out more costly loans from private lenders.

text: Red Bull: We all deserve this 27 July, 2014 Daniel Ricciardo Red Bull report from the Hungarian Grand Prix, Round 11 of the 2014 Formula 1 world championship, at Hungaroring near Budapest. Daniel Ricciardo Finish Position: Winner! Start Position: 4th "Winning this today, it honestly feels as good as the first. It sank in a lot quicker this one, so crossing the line today I knew what was going on a bit more and it's like I could enjoy it immediately rather than it being delayed, it was awesome. To have to pass guys again to win the race, as I did in Canada, makes it a lot more satisfying, knowing that we did have a bit of a fight on our hands – you beauty! In this environment now I feel, I am a different driver and in a way a different person, a different sportsman than I was last year. I've got a lot more belief in myself and it's cool, I definitely feel like I belong here now and I've got confidence; obviously we've converted two races into wins this year so far and I think that confidence is showing. I've got some friends from Australia here this weekend, so the plan was to always have a few drinks tonight, so I think we've got an excuse to now!" Sebastian Vettel Finish Position: 7th, Start Position: 2nd "It wasn't a great race. I spun, which was my mistake, and before that I was unlucky with the safety car in the first stint. The timing meant the first four cars lost positions to those running behind. Unfortunately we were then in the wrong mode for the restart and I lost two positions. It's good for Daniel that he won today, I'm happy for him." Christian Horner, Team Principal: "A fantastic grand prix and the performance by Daniel today was truly sensational. Starting in wet conditions, he benefitted from being a little bit further back and being able to get in for slick tyres at the first safety car and then really managed to make his strategy work on the soft tyres through the next stages of the race. We knew we'd have to make a final stop, which would put us behind Alonso and Hamilton who were trying to get to the end. But he closed the gap down quickly and then, with some fantastic overtaking manoeuvres in the last five laps, pulled off a dramatic victory to achieve the second in his career and our second this season. Sebastian's afternoon was much more frustrating. Unfortunately, after a good start and some good battles, he got the call at the same time as Daniel to pit after the Caterham had an accident, but was too far round the last corner to make it into the pit lane. He then had to stop under the safety car which meant he lost some places. He was making progress but then had the spin and managed to avoid the pit wall, but he flat spotted his tyres and then had a problem at the restart. It was then a question of damage limitation, trying to run the hard tyres to the end of the race and he did a phenomenal job to keep Bottas behind him." Thierry Salvi, Renault: "This race was amazing but also quite difficult to manage thanks to the multiple safety cars and changing track conditions. The fuel consumption was less than expected and forced us to use different energy scenarios to recharge the car. Seb did not benefit from the first safety car and so had a lot of work to do throughout the race to recover. Daniel on the other hand had a perfect strategy and was able to extract the maximum from his car. Winning the race is a very good result for the team, and we all deserve this. A lot of effort has gone into trying to catch up and this kind of result helps everyone keep that momentum and motivation high."

A Paragraph On Chris Jones
The same overwrought verbal flair — combined with an affected overflowing of empathy for his subject matter — that grants his work masterpiece status among so many readers also nudges the more discerning toward suspicion that his work's ulterior motivation is nothing more than the promotion of his own self-importance. In truth, he's a naked (second) emperor, with dressing made out of fabrication rather than fabric.

Sometimes, playing the humans in a world full of crime-fighting turtles is pretty cool. At least, that's the impression Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles stars Will Arnett and Megan Fox gave when they stopped by EW's Comic-Con video hangout. Chatting with Darren Franich, they discussed the sometimes-forgotten fifth turtle, Venus, and the real-life actors who played the Turtles during filming. Fox also dropped a line about April's yellow jumpsuit, which didn't make the film and perhaps is part of the "girl power" that she said largely hit the cutting room floor.

Will Arnett is a squirrel on a mission in new trailer for 'The Nut Job' -- VIDEO
If you think big explosions, an action packed heist and an all star cast can only describe a big summer blockbuster, then you haven't see the trailer for the new animated film The Nut Job.
Will Arnett provides the voice of Surly the Squirrel, who embarks on a dangerous journey to restore food for the winter after he accidentally destroys the entire supply of nuts for the season. Facing treacherous foes, Surly and his unruly band of animals must successfully heist Maury's Nut Store to feed the park. Liam Neeson, Brendan Fraser and Katharine Heigl also star in the nutty adventure out January 17th.

'The Nut Job' trailer features Will Arnett as a plotting squirrel
Aww nuts!
Will Arnett is a scheming squirrel in the new teaser trailer for The Nut Job, an animated film from Open Road Films that also features the voices of Brendan Fraser, Liam Neeson, and Katherine Heigl. The action-packed comedy follows the travels of the mischievous Surly (Arnett) and his rat friend Buddy, who plan a nut store heist and unwittingly find themselves embroiled in a much more complicated and hilarious adventure.

Insurance Stocks Rally As Bond Yields Climb
BOSTON (AP) â¿¿ Shares of life insurance companies rallied to 52-week highs Friday as a surprisingly strong jobs report pushed bond yields to their highest levels in nearly a year.
Insurance companies are major institutional investors in bonds, investing funds from policyholders' premium payments and using the proceeds to pay out future claims and generate profits.
But the Federal Reserve's policy of keeping short-term interest rates near zero to stimulate the economy has sharply reduced bond yields in recent years, pressuring the ability of insurers to generate strong investment returns.
However, the yield on benchmark 10-year Treasury bond climbed to its highest level in 11 months on Friday to 2.06 percent. The yield has risen from about 1.70 percent since the start of the year, and from 1.85 percent since March 1.The climb has been driven in part by optimism that hiring is picking up, bolstering the stock market. Higher stock prices encourage investors to move money out of conservative investments like bonds, pushing bond yields higher. And on Friday, the Labor Department added fuel to the fire with a February jobs report that showed the unemployment rate dropping to a four-year low. Shares of several life insurance companies outperformed the broader market on Friday, led by Met Life Inc. Its shares rose $1.82, or 4.9 percent, to close at $39.03. That's the stock's highest level in more than 11 months. Shares of Hartford Financial Services Group Inc. recorded a 52-week high, rising $1.10, or 4.5 percent, to $25.45. The stock's previous high was $25.37, reached Feb. 1. Also topping 52-week highs were Lincoln National Corp., whose shares rose $1.37, or 4.3 percent, to $33, and Principal Financial Group Inc., which added 77 cents, or 2.4 percent, to $33.42. Another strong performer was Prudential Financial Inc., which added $1.37, or 2.4 percent, to $59.60.

Chromebook Gets "OK Google" and Intel's Easy Migration App 35
Posted by samzenpus
from the try-it-out dept.
from the try-it-out dept.
An anonymous reader points out that Chromebook users just got a couple of early gifts. "Chromebooks have had a good run thus far in their history, and most recently they've had a stellar year of sales – famously beating out Apple's iPad. However, Google is not stopping there, as the company has decided to include and integrate 'OK Google' into their Chromebook tablets. As it turns out, the feature was possible all along with the code that had been included in the operating system, but was hidden well from users' direct line of sight. Intel has also shown a lot of support for Chromebooks, and the company has now released the Easy Migration app that will fittingly migrate data between Windows devices, iOS devices, and Android devices. The only catch is that users will have to be running a Chromebook that hosts an Intel processor. Intel has provided a website to check if your device is compatible, but it will surely be a significant hit for the Chromebook."

In my never ending quest for cameras I finally saved up my piggies and bought an LC-Wide. It's a great camera, but it's going to take me a little time to get comfortable with the very wide angle of the shots. I kept getting unwanted poles, beams and the like in the frames even though they didn't show in the viewfinder. I love that this camera has different masks and allows for easy multiple exposures. I'm excited to use this camera more.This photo was shot on film. Taken by trw with a Lomo LC-Wide (available in our Online Shop) loaded with Fuji Superia 100 (35mm) film (available in our Online Shop) in Los Angeles, United States.

Just before a Disney World vacation, our executive editor Kristina O'Neill and her 4-year-old daughter Stella posed for Tory Burch's Mothers Day feature, where they did a mini photo shoot (in Burchs latest dresses, of course) and a mother-daughter Q&A. Our favorite tidbit, besides the adorable photo? Her daughter told her, "Red lights are for slow drivers." Read the entire feature on Tory Burchs blog.

A U.S. drone strike in Pakistan has reportedly killed senior Taliban militants, including the group's second in command. Four people were said to be dead after the attack in the North Waziristan region.
The Pakistan Taliban denies that Wali ur-Rehman, the deputy head of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan is dead. The attack is the first reported since the country voted for a new government this month. Nawaz Sharif will be the country's new prime minister.
—Posted by Alexander Reed Kelly.
The Guardian:
On the campaign trail Sharif had complained about the lethal strikes, saying they breached the sovereignty of Pakistan, which has opposed the programme despite evidence of complicity at times.
Sharif has also announced his intention to invite the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) into peace talks, and has approached an extremist mullah with strong Taliban links to assist the effort.
But there will be few among Pakistan's security officials who will mourn the death of Wali ur-Rehman. Rehman has launched deadly attacks against Pakistani troops, in addition to helping the insurgency against Nato forces in Afghanistan.

A U.S. Department of State photo shows Wali ur-Rehman, the deputy commander of Tehrik-e-Taliban, who was reportedly killed in a drone strike.

After recent hits to major cloud services, the cloud has been compared to airplanes. The idea is that you're safer in a plane than a car, but when it goes down it will go down spectacularly, and the impact will be more widespread. However, you can't approach cloud like you would buying an airline ticket—where cheapest fare takes priority.
In a blog post on CIO.com Blogs and Discussions, my colleauge Dave Elliott, argues that the move to the cloud is more like a car. Before making your decision, you research the reliability and safety features of different models; you investigate safety; and you check out what others have said. Dave provides six tips on how to approach cloud including: look under the hood, consider your precious cargo and take it for a test drive. Read more.

And what about the Bar? It took eighteen months to recommend a suspension for Ronnie. Such a slow-witted, lackadaisical approach to policing its own profession creates a permissive atmosphere for people like Ronnie, people who lack the moral strength necessary to be ethical members of the legal profession.
But there may be reason for hope. For one thing, I can attest that Ronnie has not lost his puckish sense of humor. During negotiations with the Bar, Ronnie offered as part of his punishment "to fund, organize, and teach an ethics course for lawyer-lobbyists in Florida."
That Ronnie -- what a kidder! I'm sure everyone at the Bar got a big laugh out of that knee-slapper. Maybe the course could be part of a daylong retreat, with Miller Dawkins teaching a seminar on public integrity and Cesar Odio providing bookkeeping tips. But I digress.
The real issue is what to do with Ronnie? The easy route would be to suspend him for 75 days. There is also ample justification to disbar him. But what he really needs is a hug, not to mention a whole lot of counseling. I say he should be institutionalized and studied by a team of the world's leading doctors so that maybe, just maybe, we can find a cure for the dreaded Ronnie Book Syndrome.
Thank you for your time and consideration, and I pray you will do the right thing.
Jim DeFede
If you would like to let the Supreme Court know your feelings about Ronnie Book, please fill out the accompanying questionnaire and mail it to the address at the bottom of the box.
Dear Chief Justice,
I am writing regarding Supreme Court Case No. 90,805, The Florida Bar v. Ronald Lee Book. As a citizen of the State of Florida, I wish to make my opinion known regarding the sanctions the Court should impose on Mr. Book:
Ron Book is a sick man who can't be held responsible for his actions. Therefore I oppose any punishment for Mr. Book that doesn't include years of INSTITUTIONALIZED TREATMENT AND COUNSELING at a secure facility.
While I find Ron Book's actions both shameful and sleazy, and while I believe him to be a man of limited integrity, I nonetheless support the Florida Bar's recommendation that his license to practice law be SUSPENDED FOR 75 DAYS.
Ron Book has repeatedly shown disrespect for the law, and he has significantly added to the public's mistrust of both the legal profession and the political process. His continued presence as a member of the Florida Bar brings disrepute to not only every lawyer in the state, but to each of its citizens as well. I therefore believe Ron Book should be DISBARRED.
Thank you for your consideration.

A day after the shocking suicide of linebacker Jovan Belcher, the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Carolina Panthers 27-21 at Arrowhead Stadium.
The victory ended an eight-game losing streak, but there was little mood of celebration for a team coming to terms with Saturday's tragic events.
Belcher had shot his girlfriend multiple times before driving to the team's practice facility where he killed himself in front of coach Romeo Crennel and general manager Scott Pioli. Belcher was 25.
Hours after the incident, the Chiefs players and coaches made the decision that the game would go ahead.
When it did, Brady Quinn threw for 201 yards and two touchdowns, and Jamaal Charles collected 127 yards on the ground to lead the Chiefs to an emotional victory.
Cam Newton led Carolina by throwing for 232 yards and three touchdowns.
The New England Patriots clinched the AFC East title with a 23-16 victory over the Miami Dolphins but it was far from a polished performance.
Dolphins penalties accounted for most of New England's scoring as Tom Brady had an off-day, and Miami also had a touchdown chalked off as they proved their own worst enemy.
Brady threw for 238 yards, but was sacked four times and tossed an interception.
It was a sixth straight win for the Patriots, who moved to 9-3.
The Houston Texans secured their play-off berth with a 24-10 win over the Tennessee Titans.
The defence was the key as rookie linebacker Whitney Mercilus had two sacks and a fumble recovery, and the Texans forced six turnovers.
Their 11 wins this season is a franchise record.
Morgan Burnett twice intercepted Christian Ponder in what proved pivotal moments as the Green Bay Packers saw off the Minnesota Vikings 23-14.
The Vikings were inspired by Adrian Peterson, who returned to the kind of form he used to show before blowing out his knee a year ago by rushing for 210 yards.
But it was all for nought as Ponder tossed costly picks that Green Bay turned into points.
It was a vital win for the Packers (8-4) in the NFC North title race as they caught the Chicago Bears, 23-17 losers in overtime to the Seattle Seahawks in the Windy City.
Russell Wilson threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Sidney Rice in overtime to take the win.
Robbie Gould had kicked a field goal as time expired to send the game to overtime.
Andrew Luck's 14-yard touchdown pass to Donnie Avery as time expired capped a dramatic comeback for the Indianapolis Colts as they beat the Detroit Lions 35-33.
The Lions had led by 12 in the fourth quarter but the Colts came storming back to stay in control of the AFC wild-card race.
Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for 112 yards and two touchdowns as the Buffalo Bills stayed alive, if barely, in the playoff race with a 34-18 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The New York Jets' third-string quarterback Greg McElroy did just enough to lead his side to an attritional 7-6 victory over the Arizona Cardinals.
With Mark Sanchez struggling and Tim Tebow ailing, it was McElroy who stepped off the bench in the third quarter and led the Jets downfield before throwing to Jeff Cumberland for a one-yard touchdown.
Sanchez had gone 10-of-27 for 91 yards with three interceptions before being pulled.
Greg Zuerlein booted a 54-yard field goal 26 seconds from the end of overtime as the St Louis Rams edged the San Francisco 49ers 16-13.
Zuerlein's 53-yard kick had forced overtime at the end of the fourth quarter.
The overtime kick meant the two teams narrowly avoided a second tie in three weeks.
