Some Knox County residents dropped from insurance due to fire protection .After living in a north Knox County neighborhood for five years, Mike Vukmir and his wife, found out theyre being dropped from their homeowners insurance policy.
I was a little angry because you think that youre covered, you think that everything is fine, said Vukmir.
A letter from their insurance provider cited their fire protection as inadequatedespite paying for Rural Metro Fire service since theyve lived in the home.
It came as a pretty big surprise because we live in a fairly big subdivision and theres some other subdivisions close by to us as well, he said.

Jerome Williams started a game in the major leagues, even longer since he\'d won one
Williams pitched seven stellar innings to get his first big league victory in almost six years in the Los Angeles Angels 7-1 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday.
I feel like crying, Williams said while his 2-year-old son, Ty, sat perched in a folding chair next to him with the game ball in his hands. Its been a long road. Im just speechless. There was so much emotion out there. Being away from the game for a long time, I dedicated this to my mother and my family.
Williams, a first-round draft pick by the Giants in 1999, hadnt started a game in the majors since May 15, 2007, with Washington. He began this season with the Lancaster Barnstormers of the independent Atlantic League before signing a free agent contract with the Angels on June 16. He spent last season playing in Taiwan after leaving the As Triple-A affiliate in Sacramento.

Gaza militants agree to cease fire with Israel
Militant groups in Gaza have agreed to a cease-fire aimed at ending a three-day round of violence with Israel, a senior Hamas official said Sunday, after a cross-border Palestinian attack on Israel threatened relations between the two countries and set off a round of Palestinian rocket barrages and Israeli airstrikes.
The official said Egypt helped broker the cease-fire, which was to go into effect Sunday evening. Egypt, which has been in contact with Israel, told the groups that Israel would halt its airstrikes only if the Palestinian groups stopped shooting first, he said.
Hamas security personnel would enforce the agreement, the official said.
