Bob Harper, personal trainer and host of the NBC show "The Biggest Loser," shared on Instagram that he had a heart attack two weeks ago.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
"I am feeling better. Just taking it easy," the 51-year old celebrity trainer posted with a photo of himself in bed, wearing a hospital gown. "I want to thank everyone for the outpouring of messages and support. It feels good to be cared about. I've been home for 8 days now."

Harper has said in the past that his family has a history of heart problems. Regular exercise can reduce your risk of heart problems and help you live longer, but family history also plays a key role in heart health. Your genes can elevate your risk for high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Although the risk is low, exercise itself can also increase your risk of a heart attack. Most of that risk, though, is in the hours following a workout.

The experienced fitness trainer and TV star has appeared on 17 seasons of the NBC show "The Biggest Loser" show since 2004. He has helped a number of contestants lose weight by working out and eating healthier. Harper has also written three best-selling books on the topic.

Harper has more than 20 years of experience helping people get fit and lose weight.

Autolivery is one interesting van

We've seen plenty of self-driving prototypes intended to transport people, but we've yet to encounter a completely autonomous process for transporting goods directly to a customer's doorstep. With the new Autolivery concept, Ford has envisioned a future of self-driving vans and drones working together to achieve this goal.

Not unlike something you'd expect to see in a sci-fi movie, the Autolivery concept is an electric self-driving van with deployable drones that can fly to your doorstep to pick up and drop off a package. In the video below, Ford demonstrates how this concept is particularly useful in high-rise buildings which typically present some of the biggest delivery challenges.

It's all part of Ford's vision for the future called "The City of Tomorrow." Making roadways reconfigurable and offering a broader range of transportation and delivery options including bikes, drones, and ride-hailing vehicles can make transportation easier and open up more green space, the automaker contends.

"While the scene shown today is not yet possible, 'Autolivery' suggests how our ongoing mobility research could enrich our lives in a more sustainable 'City of Tomorrow'," said Ken Washington, Ford's vice president of Research and Advanced Engineering, in a statement.

Of course, Ford isn't the first automaker to dream up a drone-launching van. Mercedes debuted its Vision Van concept last year, a vehicle with similar drone capabilities but less focus on full automation. It's unclear when Ford's vision could come to life, but perhaps some of these ideas aren't as far off as we think. Ford says it will offer fully autonomous vehicles in high volumes by 2021. These initial vehicles will be designated for commercial application in mobility services that could include ride hailing, ride sharing, or package delivery fleets, the automaker says.

Would you want a drone to deliver your groceries? Let us know in the comments below.

ROBORACE DEBUTS AUTONOMOUS ROBOCAR IN SPAIN

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
If you're tired of watching real, live people drive race cars, you won't have to suffer much longer. Roborace revealed its Robocar autonomous racer today at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. We've seen renderings of the wild, driverless race car before, but this is the first time it's been shown in the sheetmetal.

The vehicle, with its cockpitless design, looks a lot like the computer-generated images we first saw last year. The Robocar was penned by Roborace chief designer Daniel Simon, who's also responsible for the designs in the movies "Tron: Legacy" and "Oblivion." That helps explain the Robocar's futuristic look.

In addition to showing a real-life Robocar, Roborace also dropped some of its specs. The race car weighs roughly 2,150 pounds, which sounds light, but is about 600 pounds heavier than a Formula 1 car with the driver. The Robocar is 189 inches long and 79 inches wide, which makes it just a bit longer and wider than a Le Mans prototype. Powering the car are four 300-kW electric motors backed by a 540-kW battery. That setup will propel the race car to a top speed of just under 200 mph.

The brains behind all that capability is the Nvidia Drive PX 2 supercomputer, which has artificial intelligence capable of running 24 trillion operations a second. Serving as Robocar's eyes and ears are five lidar and two radar arrays, 18 ultrasonic sensors, two optical speed sensors, six AI cameras, and a GNSS positioning system. All that tech gives the car 360-degree awareness, and gives the AI the data needed to make decisions.

Roborace will be a spec series in that all of the hardware is mandated. The software, however, will be left to the teams to develop. It'll be up to the engineers to come up with the programming and algorithms that will take their car to the head of the pack.

Roborace will eventually serve as the support series for Formula E. It already ran a demonstration with two of its DevBot development cars earlier this year in Spain, and later in 2017 it will run two Robocars simultaneously on track. There's still no word on when we'll see some actual robot-to-robot competition, but count on it being sometime after the 2016/2017 Formula E season.

At least 3 dead after small plane crashes into California homes.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
At least one person is dead and five others hospitalized after a small plane crashed into two homes in Riverside, California, according to officials.

Riverside Fire Department Capt. Tyler Reynolds told ABC affiliate KABC-TV two victims were from the homes and four of the other victims were onboard the plane.

The Federal Aviation Administration said the Cessna 310 crashed under unknown circumstances about a half-mile northeast of Riverside Municipal Airport. The plane was headed to San Jose from Riverside, according to the FAA.

Officials are now investigating the crash and using thermal imaging to look for additional victims.

Shannon Flores, a teacher at a nearby school in Riverside, told KABC-TV she and her students saw the plane from their building.

"It was just flying very, very low," she said. "We knew it shouldn't have been flying that low and that it was definitely going down."

Trump makes unsupported claim that Obama was 'behind' town hall protests

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
President Donald Trump accused former President Barack Obama of being "behind" the protests that Republican members of Congress have encountered at town hall meetings across the country.

The allegation came during the president's interview on Fox News' "Fox & Friends," clips of which were released Monday. Interviewer Brian Kilmeade first states that Obama's "organization seems to be doing a lot of the organizing [of] some of the protests that a lot of these Republicans are seeing around the country and against you."

Trump is then asked, "Do you believe President Obama is behind it, and if he is, is that a violation of the so-called, unsaid, president's code?

"No, I think he is behind it," said Trump. "I also think it's politics, that's the way it is."

The organization referred to is Organizing for Action, which describes itself on its website as "a non-partisan, issue advocacy organization committed to growing the grassroots movement by training, educating, and activating civically engaged community members across the country."

The group was founded in the aftermath of Obama's 2012 reelection and occupies the digital spaces once owned by the campaign. Its chairman is Jim Messina, who was Obama's deputy chief of staff from 2009-2011.

The organization advocates for the positions held by the 44th president, but as a 501(c)(4) nonprofit, may not directly support political candidates.

"I think that President Obama is probably behind it because his people are certainly behind it," Trump added. "In terms of him being behind things, that's politics and it will probably continue.

Organizing for Action's website links to the Town Hall Project, a separate, open-source group that compiles a list of events featuring lawmakers and encourages citizens to attend. The Town Hall Project's list includes events with both Republican and Democratic legislators.

There is no evidence that the project has any direct relationship with Obama.

Presidents traditionally abstain from direct comment on the actions of their successors. Following the 2016 election, Obama repeatedly said he wished to aid in a smooth transition to the Trump administration.

Authorities in Kansas filed first-degree murder charges against a man accused of opening fire in a bar there, killing one Indian man, injuring two other people and causing fears about bigotry to reverberate across the globe.

According to witness accounts, the gunman reportedly told two of the people who were shot - both Indian men who work for Garmin, the technology firm - to "get out of my country" before opening fire and had also used racial slurs during the Wednesday evening shooting.

Multiple law enforcement agents launched an investigation into the deadly shooting inside Austin's Bar and Grill in Olathe, a city about 20 miles southwest of Kansas City. Even as authorities said they had not yet identified a motive for the attack, relatives of the Indian men said they feared the shooting was connected to a climate of fear and xenophobia in America.

The father of one of the people injured pointed to the election of President Trump, who has routinely described a threat posed to Americans from people outside the country's borders, and pleaded with parents in India "not to send their children to the United States."

The White House responded by calling the link to Trump's rhetoric absurd, according to Reuters.

JUST IN: White House, speaking about Kansas shooting, says any loss of life is tragic but absurd to link to president's rhetoric

- Reuters U.S. News (@ReutersUS) February 24, 2017

Police identified the suspected attacker in Olathe as Adam W. Purinton, 51, and said he was taken into custody in Missouri a little more than a day after the shooting.

One of the Indian men shot during the attack - Srinivas Kuchibhotla, 32 - died in the hospital later from his wounds, the Olathe police said. The other - Alok Madasani, 32, of Overland Park, Kan. - was released from the hospital Thursday.

The shooting also injured 24-year-old Ian Grillot, another patron at Austin's, who apparently tried to intervene.

[Hailed a hero after Kansas bar shooting, victim said he did 'what was naturally right to do']

Witnesses told the Kansas City Star and The Washington Post that Purinton was thought to have been kicked out of the bar Wednesday night before the shooting took place. 

"He seemed kind of distraught," Garret Bohnen, a regular at Austin's who was there that night, told The Post in an interview. "He started drinking pretty fast."

He reportedly came back into the bar and hurled racial slurs at the two Indian men, including comments that suggested he thought they were of Middle Eastern descent. When he started firing shots, Grillot, a regular at the bar whom Bohnen called "everyone's friend," moved to get involved.

Authorities have not released many details about the attack. They have not said the shooting was a hate crime, instead saying they are investigating to see if it was spurred by bias. During a briefing Thursday, officials cautioned that it was still early in the investigation and declined to offer a motive for the shooting.

"As far as the motivation in this case and the facts surrounding it ... what we want to do is we want to be able to be sure of our facts versus speculation," Johnson County District Attorney Stephen M. Howe said at the briefing.

On Friday afternoon, Howe noted that Kansas has no hate crime statute, saying that such charges would have to be federal:

KS does not have hate crime statute-those charges have to be in fed court. If convicted in District Court as charged, Purinton faces Hard 50

- Johnson County KS DA (@JohnsonCoDA) February 24, 2017

Kuchibhotla and Madasani are both Indian nationals, a spokesman for India's Ministry of External Affairs said.

External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said in tweets that she had contacted Kuchibhotla's family, in the southern city of Hyderabad, and was making arrangements to have his remains sent there.

"I have spoken to the father and Mr. K. K. Shastri brother of Srinivas Kuchibhotla in Hyderabad and conveyed my condolences to the family," she tweeted. Two diplomats from the Indian Consulate in Houston were "rushing" to Kansas to assist, Swaraj said.

['I appeal to all the parents in India not to send their children' to the U.S., distraught father says after shooting]

The U.S. Embassy in New Delhi also released a statement condemning the shooting. Chargé d'Affaires MaryKay Carlson called it "a tragic and senseless act," adding that the United States is a "nation of immigrants and welcomes people from across the world to visit, work, study, and live."

Family members of the two men said in interviews that they feared the current atmosphere in the United States.

"There is a kind of hysteria spreading that is not good because so many of our beloved children live there," said Venu Madhav, a relative of Kuchibhotla. "Such hatred is not good for people."

Madhav said that "something has changed in the United States."

Relatives of the two Indian men shot Wednesday told the Hindustan Times that they were friends who had not antagonized Purinton, and that Purinton had instead "picked an argument" with them and suggested they were illegally in the country.

"They tried to tell him that they had done their [master's degrees] in Kansas in 2006 and had been staying there with valid work permits," a relative said.

[Three Kansas men calling themselves 'Crusaders' charged in terror plot targeting Muslim immigrants]

Madasani's father, Jaganmohan Reddy, told the Times he has recently begun to ask his son to return home, fearing that he might not be safe in the country's racially charged atmosphere, with ugly incidents and hate groups on the rise.

"The situation seems to be pretty bad after Trump took over as the U.S. president. I appeal to all the parents in India not to send their children to the United States in the present circumstances," Reddy said.

Eric K. Jackson, the FBI special agent in charge in Kansas City, said that authorities will work to determine if the attack was "bias motivated," but said they "need to have time to thoroughly go through the investigation."

Purinton was taken into custody late Thursday in Clinton, Mo., about 80 miles away, and by Friday afternoon he had been returned to Johnson County, where he was being held in a detention center four miles from Austin's.

Howe said Thursday that Purinton was charged with one count of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted first-degree murder. Purinton's bond was set at $2 million, according to court documents.

[Alabama police officer arrested after Indian grandfather left partially paralyzed]

It was not immediately clear if Purinton had an attorney. He is scheduled to appear in court for his arraignment on Monday afternoon.

Court records show that Purinton had faced criminal charges in the past for vehicular episodes, one in 2008 for speeding and another pair of counts in 1999 alleging that he was driving under the influence and made an unsafe turn. The Kansas City Star described Purinton as a Navy veteran, former pilot and air traffic controller who lives in "a comfortable suburban home."

Bridget Patton, a spokeswoman for the FBI in Kansas, said Friday that the bureau was continuing to work with local police to investigate and "determine if there were any civil rights violations."

In a statement Friday, Garmin said the company, which has an office in Olathe, was grieving over the incident and working to support the families of its employees.

"We're devastated by the senseless tragedy that took the life of one of our associates and friends, Srinivas Kuchibhotla, and injured another, Alok Madasani," the statement said.

The company also sent their thoughts to Grillot, "deemed the 'Good Samaritan' for his heroic efforts that fatal evening."

In a public video released by the University of Kansas Health System, Grillot spoke from his hospital bed about what unfolded. When he heard shots being fired, he crouched under a table. Hearing nine shots, Grillot expected the man's magazine to be empty, but soon realized he must have miscounted.

"I got behind him, and he turned around and fired at me," Grillot said. The bullets went through his right hand and chest, fracturing a vertebrae and his neck, and barely missing his carotid artery.

"I'm grateful to be alive," he said. "Another half inch and I could be dead or never walk again."

He spent the night in the hospital praying that the two other men had survived the shooting, he said. When he saw Madasani enter his hospital room Thursday morning, "it put the biggest smile on my face," Grillot said. He soon found out that Madasani's wife is five months pregnant.

"I was just doing what anyone should've done for another human being," Grillot said, his eyes filling with tears. "It's not about where he's from or his ethnicity. We're all humans. I just felt like I did what was naturally right to do."

The Kansas chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations called Thursday for state and federal hate crime charges to be brought against Purinton "in order to send a strong message that violence targeting religious or ethnic minorities will not be tolerated," CAIR-Kansas Board Chair Moussa Elbayoumy said in a statement.

Elbayoumy also noted that the same day as the shooting, two Kansas men were sentenced for their roles in an assault on a black Somali man in Dodge City, Kan.

According to the Justice Department, Armando Sotelo, 24, was sentenced to two years of supervised release in that case, while Omar Cantero Martinez, 32, was sentenced to 26 months in prison and two years of supervised release for committing perjury during the hate-crimes prosecution into that assault.

In the fall, federal prosecutors charged three Kansas men with plotting to attack an apartment complex, mosque and many Muslim immigrants from Somalia.

A picture has begun to emerge of the men who were shot on Wednesday. According to Kuchibhotla's LinkedIn account, he held a master's degree in electrical and electronics engineering from the University of Texas at El Paso and earned his bachelor's degree at the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University in India. Madasani's LinkedIn profile said he studied at the University of Missouri at Kansas City and at Vasavi College of Engineering in India.

Kavipriya Muthuramalingam, a good friend of Kuchibhotla's, said in an interview with The Post that the two were part of a tightknit group of friends who all used to work at the aerospace company Rockwell Collins in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. She said Kuchibhotla was a kind, levelheaded and technically skilled friend who was always smiling. She called him "one of the best people you've ever met in your life" and "the perfect example of a decent gentleman."

Muthuramalingam, who now lives in Irvine, Calif., said she and her fellow Indian friends had not yet begun to discuss any potentially racially biased motives of the shooting. She said "it affects us all on different levels," but for now, they were all "just focusing on the fact that such a good person was lost."

She started a GoFundMe account to help relieve medical and funeral expenses for Kuchibhotla's wife, Sunayana, and their family. By Friday afternoon, the page had raised over $385,000.

Bohnen, the regular at Austin's who was there that night and who has worked there in the past, said Kuchibhotla and Madasani would come in all the time. Though they kept to themselves, they were always friendly and willing to share a cigarette or take shots of gin with Bohnen.

Austin's staff gathered at an employee's house Wednesday night to help each other grapple with the night's events, and on Thursday, employees went into the bar to help clean up. Owner Brandon Blum wrote on the bar's Web page that he hoped to reopen Austin's by Saturday. Outside the bar, flowers were left at a makeshift memorial, the Kansas City Star reported.

"We are so sorry that this happened on our premises," Blum wrote. "We have never experienced any sort of tragedy like this in our 30 years."

From his hospital bed, Grillot said he had been planning on going fishing this weekend before the shooting occurred. So after recovering, that was the first thing he looked forward to doing. He also said he hoped to get together with Madasani, "the gentleman I've now become best friends with," and meet his son once he is born.

"After last night, we're definitely going to be spending a little bit of time together," he said. "Don't think it's going to be at the bar, though. Maybe some grilling in the backyard with a beer or two."

Less than five hours after a man shot up a Kansas bar, killing one Indian man and injuring two others in an apparently racially motivated attack, an Applebee’s bartender 70 miles away made a 911 call.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Washington Post 2 hrs ago Samantha Schmidt

Less than five hours after a man shot up a Kansas bar, killing one Indian man and injuring two others in an apparently racially motivated attack, an Applebee's bartender 70 miles away made a 911 call.

The woman on the phone told the dispatcher that a man had come into her bar and told her he "had done something really bad and he was on the run from the police."

The man wouldn't tell her what he did, but kept asking her to allow him to stay at her house. The bartender persisted, convincing him to tell her what he did. "He said he shot and killed two Iranian people in Olathe," the bartender said.

She read the news and sure enough, noticed that a few hours earlier, a shooting had taken place in Olathe, a city about 20 miles southwest of Kansas City. Her 911 call, later released by a local television station, led authorities to locate Adam Purinton, 51, of Olathe, late Wednesday night and take him into custody. The phone call recording supports witness statements that the bar shooter thought the two men, Srinivas Kuchibhotla and Alok Madasani, were of Middle Eastern descent.

They were actually Indian nationals employed by the technology firm Garmin. They had received master's degrees in the United States. Kuchibhotla died from his injuries Wednesday and Madasani was released from the hospital the following day.

Authorities have not called the shooting a hate crime, instead saying they are investigating to see if it was motivated by bias. But witnesses reported that Purinton hurled racial slurs at the two men and told them: "Get out of my country." The shooting stirred anger and fear in India and among the South Asia diaspora in the U.S., prompting some to link it to xenophobia spurred by the Trump campaign.

Parents and students in India began to worry that the U.S. was no longer a safe place for visiting Indian students, scholars and tech workers. The father of Madasani, the Indian injured in the attack, appealed Friday "all the parents in India" not to send their children to the United States under "present circumstances."

A relative of Kuchibhotla told The Post that the family was in shock.

"Something has changed in the United States," he said. "Such things are not good for the Indian community living here."

Cable news channels debated whether the United States was now a danger zone for those with brown skin. "Is this the new normal?" an anchor on NDTV news channel said.

On Monday, Hillary Clinton tweeted that the president should "step up and speak out." She shared a link to a story about the Kansas shooting, and said: "With threats & hate crimes on rise, we shouldn't have to tell @Potus to do his part."

Purinton, who faces charges of first-degree murder and first- degree attempted murder, made his first court appearance Monday via closed-circuit television from the Johnson County jail. He was seen wearing what a sheriff's department spokesman called a "safety smock," assigned to suspects who said something in the jail that suggested they might harm themselves, the Associated Press reported. Purinton, described by the Kansas City Star as a Navy veteran, former pilot and air traffic controller who lives in "a comfortable suburban home," had a bond set at $2 million, according to court documents.

After shots were fired at Austins Bar and Grill Wednesday night in Olathe, the suspect fled on foot, and a manhunt ensued, the Kansas City Star reported. Purinton was seen less than five hours later in Clinton, Missouri in a 2000 Chevy Silverado.

When he spoke with the Applebee's bartender that night, he made her promise she wasn't going to call the police, she told the 911 dispatcher.

"I asked him if he had a gun on him and he told me he did not," she said. "And he told me he wasn't going to hurt me, but I don't know."

She asked the dispatcher if the police could come to the restaurant quietly, without using sirens. "There's people in the building still and I don't want him to freak out," she said.

But when Clinton police arrived at 11:43 p.m., Purinton gave himself up without a fight, 41 Action News reported. Officers found him in possession of an expired active duty Navy identification card. He had booked room 131 at the West Bridge Motel up the road from Applebee's.

3 people were killed and 2 are missing after a small plane in California crashes into nearby homes.The plane was heading toward San Jose before it went down.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
LOS ANGELES - A small plane carrying four people crashed into a home Monday in Riverside, California, authorities told NBC News.

The crash at around 5 p.m. PT (8 pm ET) set the home ablaze and sent thick, choking smoke billowing into the sky.

Two people were pulled alive from the fire, said Tyler Reynolds, a spokesman for the Riverside Fire Department. Two other people remained unaccounted for, Reynolds said.

The plane, a Cessna 310, had just taken off from Riverside Municipal Airport headed for San Jose, California, when it went down about a half-mile northeast of the airport, which is about 60 miles east of Los Angeles, said Ian Gregor, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration.

"I live only a block away. I was just looking outside my window and saw a green plane, and it was going really fast, and then it fell to the ground and exploded," Elizabeth Espinoza, 20, who lives near the scene, told NBC News.

"There was no way it was able to pull up, the way it was dropping," Espinoza said. "It was like - I don't know how to describe it - just so fast that you wouldn't imagine. It was a big crash and then a boom. ...

"We felt the ground shake once it hit," she said.

No further details were immediately available.

On Tuesday Lee Jae-yong was indicted with corruption charges such as bribery

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Samsung's legal nightmare is intensifying.

Prosecutors on Tuesday indicted Lee Jae-yong, the de facto chief of the giant South Korean conglomerate, on bribery and other charges. Four other Samsung executives were also charged with bribery and other crimes under the investigation into a huge political corruption scandal that has shaken the country.

The move means South Korea's highest profile business leader and some of his top lieutenants are now headed for trial. The scandal that has engulfed them has already brought hundreds of thousands of South Korean protesters onto the streets and prompted lawmakers to vote to impeach the president.

Lee, 48, was arrested earlier this month and has been in custody since then.

Prosecutors allege that Lee, who's also known as Jay Y. Lee, pledged tens of millions of dollars to win favor with President Park Geun-hye and secure government support for a merger that helped tighten his grip on Samsung.

They are accusing him of bribery, perjury, concealing criminal profits, embezzlement and hiding assets overseas.

Samsung and Lee have denied the allegations.

The other indicted Samsung executives include Park Sang-jin, president of Samsung Electronics , which is the crown jewel in the Lee family's array of affiliated companies.

Samsung declined to comment directly on the indictments Tuesday, but it announced that Park is resigning. Samsung also said it would shut down its corporate strategy office, which coordinates plans for the conglomerate's various businesses and where some of the indicted executives worked.

Lee is the heir to Samsung's sprawling business empire. His father, the chairman of the group, suffered a heart attack in 2014 and has remained in ill health. Lee is also vice chairman of Samsung Electronics.

Samsung's links to the corruption investigation have done further damage to the company's image after the humiliating fiasco over its fire-prone Galaxy Note 7 smartphone last year.

Lee is far from the first South Korean business leader to face accusations of corruption. His father, Samsung Group Chairman Lee Kun-hee, was convicted twice -- and pardoned twice.

Analysts say that Samsung Electronics has a strong group of senior managers who can manage the company on a day-to-day basis but that a protracted absence of Lee could affect big strategic decision making.
