Pothole damage typically is covered under an auto-insurance policy's collision provisions, said Mitch Wilson, a spokesman for the Ohio Insurance Institute. But most damage falls below the standard $500 deductible, he said.
Ohio Court of Claims forms are available online at www.cco.state.oh.us, and the state transportation department allows people to report potholes on its website.
Neither office publicizes the state's obligation to pay for pothole damage, though. A number of people who have filed reports said tow-truck drivers and mechanics advised them to file. LINK

Statue Of Christ Gets $4m Facelift
“The iconic statue of Christ with outstretched arms that overlooks Rio de Janeiro is getting a $4 million renovation. Heavy rains have eroded portions of the face and hands of the statue. It has also been damaged by lightning strikes over the years. Workers this week started replacing large pieces of the statue’s soapstone exterior and patching up a layer of concrete underneath. They expect to be done by June. The Rio archdiocese that manages the statue says donations will pay for the repairs.” w/ photos. LINK
Perched atop a mountain above Rio's white-sand beaches, the 38-meter (125 foot) statue was inaugurated in 1931.
It was designed by local engineer Heitor da Silva Costa and created by French sculptor Paul Landowski.

SICK*****! Child Porn Found On Computer Taken In For Repairs
An East Chicago man who took his computer in for repairs has been charged with possession of child pornography.
Bryan S. Johnson, 47, of the 4000 block of Butternut Street, had about 1,000 photos of children having sex and engaging in sexual activity with adults, records state.
Johnson dropped off his computer May 1 at Computer Bay Store in Schererville, Ind. A technician working on the computer discovered a folder called "had sex with a 12-year-old."
Nothing that appeared to be child pornography was inside the folder, but police then confiscated the hard drive as evidence, obtained a search warrant and discovered the questionable files.
The charge is punishable by a maximum three-year sentence. LINK
A three year sentence to me isn't long enough, beware out there parents on what may be crawling the web.
