        s = s.toLowerCase();
        Set trueSet = new HashSet(Arrays.asList("1", "true", "yes"));
        Set falseSet = new HashSet(Arrays.asList("0", "false", "no"));

        if (trueSet.contains(s))
            return true;
        if (falseSet.contains(s))
            return false;

        throw new IllegalArgumentException(s + " is not a boolean.");
