SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California won't be giving unemployment checks to workers on strike, with Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoing a bill Saturday that had been inspired by high-profile work stoppages in Hollywood and the hotel industry. Newsom, a Democrat, says he supports workers and often benefits from campaign contributions from labor unions. But he said he vetoed this bill because the fund the state uses to pay unemployment benefits will be nearly $20 billion in debt by the end of the year.

The US 30-year mortgage rate rose to 7.16% last week, matching the highest since 2001 and crimping both sales and refinancing activity. The contract rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage rose seven basis points to 7.16% in the week ended Aug 11, according to Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) data out on Wednesday (Aug 16). The gauge of home-purchase applications slipped for a fifth-straight week to the second-lowest level since 1995. The latest jump in borrowing costs presents a fresh headwind for the housing market, just as the sector had been showing signs of finding its footing.

F2 Logistics has had quite the success in club tournaments that it somehow seems farfetched that the team is making just its first semifinal appearance in the Premier Volleyball League (PVL). 'Maybe this will make it to F2 history,' new coach Regine Diego said on Saturday, after the team officially claimed a semifinal berth in the All-Filipino Conference by adding to the misery of winless Army-Black Mamba, 25-15, 20-25, 25-20, 25-13. 'I'm happy I'm part of this,' Diego said. The Cargo Movers had won five titles in the Philippine Superliga and one in the Philippine National Volleyball Federation Champions League.
