NEW YORK (AP) — NBC says it will provide 85 hours of virtual reality programming during the Rio Olympics in August — but only to users of Samsung Galaxy smartphones and the Samsung Gear VR headset.

Virtual reality coverage of sports has been growing since VR headsets such as the Samsung Gear and Oculus Rift became widely available earlier this year.

The content, which will be presented on delay during the games running Aug. 6 to Aug. 22, will include opening and closing ceremonies, men’s basketball, gymnastics, track and field, and other sports.

It will be captured by Olympic Broadcasting Services, a unit of the International Olympic committee that provides feeds to international broadcasters. The content will be accessible to Samsung users with compatible devices via the NBC Sports app.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Figures from a survey of supply managers in nine Midwest and Plains states have dropped slightly but still suggest economic growth ahead.

A report issued Friday said the Mid-American Business Conditions index hit 50.1 in June, compared with 52.1 in May.

Creighton University economist Ernie Goss oversees the survey, and he said gains for nondurable-goods producers more than offset continuing losses for regional durable-goods manufacturers.

The survey results are compiled into a collection of indexes ranging from zero to 100. Survey organizers say any score above 50 suggests economic growth. A score below that suggests decline. The survey covers Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon has vetoed legislation to change a requirement that some businesses use a federal program to check employees’ authorization to legally work in the U.S.

Nixon vetoed the bill Friday.

Current law requires businesses with government contracts, tax breaks or grants to use the E-Verify system. The proposal would allow businesses to opt out if doing so would be costly or challenging.

Nixon disputed that the program, which is provided free to businesses, could be costly and says it’s easy to use.

He said government contracts and other subsidies shouldn’t go to businesses that employ workers who don’t have legal immigration status.

The measure also would grant a five-year extension to a package of tax incentives for small businesses.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) — A 47-year-old Springfield man has been sentenced to three years in federal prison without parole for possessing stolen mail and for credit card fraud.

Eric David Vancil was sentenced Thursday and ordered to pay $477 in restitution. He pleaded guilty in December to stealing mail for at least 55 people in Greene County and elsewhere between October 2013 and April 2015. The mail contained credit and debit cards and personal identification, which Vancil used to make purchases.

The investigation began when federal agents received reports of theft of mail throughout the Springfield and Joplin areas.

Vancil was arrested in April 2015 after a witness reported someone in a car going from mailbox to mailbox stealing mail. Vancil drove through some residential yards before being stopped.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General Loretta Lynch says she won’t overrule the findings of an FBI-led investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server.

She also acknowledged that an impromptu meeting this week with Bill Clinton that caused a political firestorm is not something she would do again.

Lynch addressed her part in the investigation at a conference in Colorado.

She said she understood that her private meeting with Clinton aboard her plane in Phoenix “cast a shadow” over the public perception of the neutrality of the investigation.

Her pledge seems aimed at tamping down criticism that the investigation is politically tainted.

ASSARIA, Kan. (AP) — Authorities investigating the death of a central Kansas woman are asking the public for help locating two vehicles.

The Kansas Bureau of Investigation says one of the vehicles that may be linked to the death of 57-year-old Lori Heimer is a maroon flatbed pickup truck with a white front bumper. The other vehicle is a small pickup truck that is dark blue on top and bottom with light blue in the middle.

The smaller truck may have two animal cages in the back. Both vehicles were described as older and beat up.

The investigation into Heimer’s death began after a relative found her body Saturday evening near Assaria. Authorities also are requesting information from anyone who had an appointment with her about her dog business this month.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Federal court records show that a Catholic priest charged with stealing nearly $151,000 from two small parishes to fund his gambling has negotiated a diversion agreement. The agreement filed Wednesday would delay Thomas Leland’s prosecution for 18 months and result in the dismissal of the case if it’s approved and he adheres to its terms.

Leland is accused of taking unauthorized reimbursements, salary advances and overpayments and too much money for conducting church services.

Those allegations center on Leland’s time as parish priest at St. Francis in St. Paul and at St. Ambrose in Erie, Kansas. Investigators believe Father Leland has a gambling addiction.

Diocesan spokeswoman Amy Pavlacka has said Leland was removed from his position after coming forward in March 2014. His attorney didn’t immediately return a phone message from The Associated Press seeking comment.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A handful of small, rural Kansas school districts face spikes in local property taxes or spending cuts because they’re losing state aid under a new education funding law.

But a few other rural districts could see tax levies decrease significantly.

Dozens of districts of all sizes will see modest decreases because the state will give them additional aid for the 2016-17 school year.

The new law that took effect Friday focuses on smoothing out the taxes imposed by school districts. It’s part of an education funding system designed to prevent an over-reliance on local levies so that educational offerings across the state don’t vary too widely.

Districts that are losing some of the aid they’d been promised must increase taxes to make it up.

JOPLIN, Mo. (AP) — A southwest Missouri youth sports league is working to rebuild after a former leader embezzled tens of thousands of dollars.

The Joplin Globe reports that 41-year-old Diane Heikkila, of Joplin, pleaded guilty earlier this week in federal court to stealing about $50,000. She admitted to stealing from the Joplin South Little League from September 2010 through January 2014.

A new board of directors was organized after Heikkila was removed from her position as the group’s president in 2014. Joplin South and Joplin North eventually merged into one organization: the Joplin Little League.

The current president, Jason Smith, said the organization is “continuing to recover.” In the years immediately after the embezzlement, Smith said, the organization was unable to buy equipment and tools to maintain its fields and buildings.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Gov. Jay Nixon says Planned Parenthood can continue receiving funding for women’s health services for a while, despite a Missouri budget provision attempting to stop it. Nixon said Thursday that his administration will eventually implement a ban on Medicaid funding for organizations that perform abortions. The budget takes effect Friday.

But Nixon says the state must first solicit public comments and then get federal approval to change its women’s health program. He said that could take until 2017 and all providers will continue to be funded until then.

At issue is $10.8 million for women’s health services.

The federal government says states cannot block abortion providers from receiving Medicaid reimbursements for non-abortion services. Missouri’s Republican-led Legislature sought to get around that by replacing federal funding with state tax dollars.
