He's been pretty consistent, but you can see it weighing on him, tailback Justin Forsett told the San Francisco Chronicle.

It would be difficult for Tedford to put in more time to turn things around. He often sleeps overnight in his office on an air mattress.

His love for the game is more than anyone I've ever known, left tackle Mike Gibson said.

1.7. Ideological foundations of harmful traditional practices

In the Senegalese society, families justify these dreadful practices by the necessity to find a husband to the little girl. In fact it is to transform her according to the desire of the men: cutting the organs of pleasure of the little girl to attenuate her sexual appetite or force-feed her to make a 'soft mattress' for the future husband. The pinches which accompany force-feeding participate in a process of torment which must lead these little girls to become crushed women, and therefore, subjected to the men.

Female genital mutilations are an integrant part of the patriarchal system through which, in a relationship of power, the men appropriate and control the women. They are the form the most finished by the management of sexuality by the men in the African and Senegalese society, in particular

My experience with my mom was sheer horror, Connor said.

Connor said he complained to state health officials and hired a lawyer, who told him he wouldn't win a lawsuit.

What's a patient to make of all this? The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid is quick to say people shouldn't rule out a nursing home just because it's on the list. Spokeswoman Mary Kahn said she expects many of them to improve now that their status has been publicized.

Aman and his teenage daughters were only seconds away from death when a fire broke out at the Arrowtown holiday home they were staying in at 4am yesterday.


Fire trucks from both the Arrowtown and Frankton brigades were called to a house in Dennison Way, where a dozen firefighters quickly got the massive blaze under control.

Arrowtown fire chief Garry Hall said a faulty electric blanket appeared to be the cause of the fire.

The two girls had taken a mattress from one of the beds out into the garden to sunbathe on Wednesday afternoon.

The underlying electric blanket must have been scrunched up when the mattress was replaced. It was then turned on accidentally without anyone realising, he said

`She had skeletal hands, and was a pile of ribs and tiny boobs. We prosecute people for allowing animals to live like that, with those kinds of problems. How is it okay to allow humans to live like that?`

Uhai Centre is a front-line, Arusha-based agency that works with HIV-positive people, particularly women, orphans and vulnerable children.

Theresia was confined to a filthy foam mattress. She was unable to wear a skirt or pants because of genital infections, and could not speak because of severe thrush.

She was given medications for her opportunistic infections, but died 10 days after the Uhai team visited her.

`When the five year-old picked up the two year-old and walked out of the room, I saw their future,` Johnson says, close to tears. `It was awful. I have no idea what`s happened to those children or whether they`re even eating.`

HIV is indiscriminate, but in sub-Saharan Africa, and Tanzania in particular, it is an infection that targets women.

But it was not always this way

Any actual relationship I�ve ever been in has just fallen into my lap. There haven�t been very many, but I wasn�t out seeking out anything when the opportunities came along. And few and far between did they come along.

I enjoy getting out, meeting new people and downing a handful of drinks until my peripheral vision is no longer, but I�m not out searching for someone to take home. Because when I finally do get home, I�d rather don the old sweatpants, turn on my iPod and fall asleep to the overly emotional music I love so much. It�s much more simple than having to explain to some unsuspecting young woman why I sleep on an air mattress (I never know when I�m gonna have to ramble on, babe), or why my fridge is only stocked with water, milk and string cheese.

I�d rather leave that mystery back at the bar, bingo parlor or speed-dating locale.

I�m a solitary dude. I like to tell people I live my life like a �70s rock song, but with much more hyperbole and much less possibility of truth

And in Las Mayas, the drugs and guns are a means of day-to-day survival.

Sniffing cocaine off the barrel of a pistol, El Menor repeats his favourite adage: 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.'

He says he is the father of three children 'and I don't know how many more,' but spends his days together with 'Yohan,' the gang's leader, and two others in a shack furnished with a single mattress.

When not in their house, they patrol the slum armed with pistols and sawed-off shotguns, looking out for rival gangs and the drugs that they will later sell. They use guerrilla-like tactics to avoid their enemies, knowing an ambush could lurk around any corner.

'This is how we get by, selling,' says Yohan, as he separates small doses of crack on the mattress.

El Menor has no illusions of anything better coming his way.

Days after losing two childhood friends in a car crash, a Wanaka woman has escaped a house fire near Arrowtown - fleeing flames chasing her up the hallway.


Harriet Fyfe, 18, raced out of the house with her 17-year-old friend and her friend's father.

Fyfe woke at 4am yesterday to the smell of smoke, but did not realise it was coming from an electric blanket under her mattress.

If I had rolled over and gone back to sleep then, pretty much all of us would be dead, she said.

In the mid-1990s, while living in Wanaka, she had done exactly that - gone back to sleep - after smelling smoke from a fire which, she said, almost killed her mother

So the bed is where you should invest the most research and money, she says. Plan to decorate the room around the bed.


Here Donaldson shares some other tips on creating a welcoming guestroom, from bed to bath and beyond.


How large should your guest bed be?


'It depends on your guests, what they're comfortable with,' Donaldson says. If in doubt, go with a queen-sized bed, she says, but don't go cheap. There are other places in the room where you can save money.


'The important thing is the mattress. The bed frame is secondary,' although men tend to prefer a bed without a footboard, since their toes tend to jut past the end of the bed, Donaldson says. She recommends a Goldilocks method of choosing a mattress - basically, try it out for yourself before you buy.


Don't buy a mattress that feels too soft or too firm. When it feels just right to you, that's probably the bed you'll want for your guests

Plane-parts seller looking at old tire plant BY BILL WILSON The Wichita Eagle
An Augusta aircraft parts distributor has added investors and could expand in Wichita.

Wichita oilman Dave Murfin and businessman Scott Hall, partners in Global Parts Inc., have filed for industrial zoning for the former Mid-Continent Tire and Rubber plant at 1000 E. 13th St.

The building will be renovated next spring, Hall said, with an eye toward a possible expansion of Global Parts, operated by Troy Palmer.

The 53,700-square-foot building was the home of Air Capital Mattress, a manufacturing business owned by Dean Schlabach and Bud Palmer.

Hall said Global Parts has expanded its inventory of older aircraft parts.

'It's been a good, solid business for three or four years,' said Hall, who owns Hall Industrial.

'The opportunity came up for them to purchase a significant quantity of legacy parts, so a group of investors came together that now owns part of Global Parts to assist them with that.'

Murfin, president, and chief financial officer Bob Young said the building was purchased to be home to a 'new business housing aircraft parts.'

'It's got absolutely nothing to do with the oil and gas business,' he said.

But Hall said the building's future is up in the air.

'At this point, it may have shifted a little bit because they want to stay close to their current operations in Augusta,' he said

What gluing does is that the lumps of the convoluted layer are flattened, so no air can possibly pass through it.

What many manufacturers do, rather sneakily in my opinion, is not to glue together the layers at the side of the mattress. The can show off this new fangled layer to potential customers and instill the illusion that air can freely pass through the convoluted layer.

But let's suppose they claim that by not gluing the sides of the mattress, air can still circulate freely enough to cool the mattress down. This is clearly a lot of nonsense. The convoluted layer is first covered by the mattress cover itself, then by sheets, then by blankets, etc

HENSEL: Every year, house fires wreak destruction on property, and lives. One way of reducing these fires, is through laws that require household items to be more fire resistant. So manufacturers apply fire retardants chemicals to furniture foam, electronic equipment and other consumer products.

NANCY FORD, Consumer Product Safety Commission: What we sought to do is limit the intensity and the spread of the fire. This will give consumers added time to discover the fire and escape their homes.

HENSEL: They may slow fires, but some scientists now warn these fire-retardant chemicals could potentially be unleashing a much bigger threat to human health when they are breathed in by people and pets, possibly causing neurological and developmental damage, as well as cancer

Arizona - Melea Hoenshell sobbed Tuesday in Mesa as she looked up at her apartment engulfed in flames and the black hole that was once a bedroom. More than 50 firefighters from Mesa, Tempe and Gilbert swarmed the Fiesta Park Village apartments at 839 Westwood near Alma School Road and Eighth Avenue, battling a fire that started just before 3 p.m. inside a bedroom in Hoenshell's unit and spread through the attic of the building, said Mesa fire spokeswoman Marrisa Ramirez Ramos.
Hoenshell said she had just finished eating lunch with her children when her 6-year-old boy came running into her room.

He came in and said 'Mom! Mom!, the mattress is on fire,' Hoenshell said. I said: 'Oh no! What did you do?'

Hoenshell rushed in to find the bottom bunk bed on fire. It spread so quickly and spewed so much smoke she couldn't put it out.

The little boy suffered burns on his hand, but the Hoenshells and others in the eight-unit building all escaped. Eleven people were displaced, and fire officials helped families seek aid.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 28, 2007 (Thomson Financial delivered by Newstex) -- Culp Inc. (NYSE:CFI) after Wednesday's closing bell reported fiscal second-quarter net earnings of $1.55 million, or 12 cents a share, up from $812,000, or 7 cents a share, during the year earlier.

The latest results include $503,000, or 4 cents a share, in after-tax restructuring and related charges. Excluding these charges, earnings were $2.1 million, or 16 cents a share.

The High Point, N.C.-based maker of upholstery and mattress fabrics posted revenue for the three months ended Oct. 28 of $64.3 million versus $59 million last year.

For the third quarter, sales in the mattress fabrics segment are expected to be up 30% to 35%, Culp said. Sales in the upholstery fabrics segment, are expected to be down about 15% to 20%, due mostly to lower sales of U.S.-produced fabrics.

Overall, the company said it expects sales for the quarter to be slightly higher than the year-ago period.

Net earnings are expected to come in between 4 cents and 8 cents a share, Culp said

A transfer north then sets up the final two weeks running through the central provinces an onto another brutal final week through the Dolomites, northern Alps, and finally to Milano.

But it�s the stage details that make this really interesting, and our man Alessandro Federico has been busy sorting the rumours from the facts to present our side-door sneak preview.



If our sources are to be believed (we know a guy who knows a guy who's nonna's hairdresser's pizza maker knows a guy...) the city of Palermo should host the big start, and the TTT will charge around Monte Pellegrino on the right.


Route Anticipation: Known Unknowns
Here's what we know - which is all completely unknown until Saturday... but come along for the ride- it's a good one...

Week One
There�s no denying the Italians love to please the crowd � so regardless of what the ASO does, we�ll get a taste of Team Time Trial action on day 1 in Palermo with a circuit loop around the Monte Pellegrino, much like they did in 1954 (that Giro won by Clerici).


If the traditional finish in Catania is used, cobbles will be in effect - a very young Pippo Pozzato won the Giro di Catania a few years back.

We expect 2 more stages in Sicily; one arriving in Catania in the shadow of the active volcano Mount Etna, and the other one in Messina (2 sprinter stages).


The Abruzzo is a lovely setting for the Giro, then again, can you think of an area in Italy that's not?

We suspect the RCS has learned how to transfer the race by ferry to regain the mainland, at least we hope so as no one wants a repeat of this year�s debacle from Sardinia, but come hell or high water (or both), stages 4 & 5 start at the soul of the boot with one complete stage in Calabria (homeland of the PEZ�s inlaws) on Tuesday (Appennins) and the other one to Salerno (Contursi Terme) on Wednesday.


Peschici provided the venue for a thrilling finish for the Giro a few years back - Axel Merckx went solo late only to be caught by the field and the Dolphin stormed uphill sprint.

On the Thursday the 15th , stage 6 heads west to east to the beautifull Gargano region with finish in Peschici or Vieste (Appennins again).

Our sources get a little fuzzy here, as for Friday we�ve seen talk about a loop stage in the Gargano region, Peschici - Peschici. But what�s sure is the first mountain finish to 1395meters on top of Pescocostanzo (Abruzzo) on either Saturday or Sunday.


There's a former winner on a new team this year, who is teaming up with another former winner who just happens to be from the Abruzzo...raise your hand Mr. Di Luca.


Week Two
Here�s likely where we�ll see the first transfer day � up the boot leg to the first ITT from Pesaro to Urbino � right in Ale�s backyard on the Adriatic. It�s a 30-35km ITT from the coast to 500 m altitude to ancient town of Urbino. Still some confusion on the timing: ITT on Sunday and rest day on Monday? Or rest day on Monday and ITT on Tuesday?


Pantani's old stomping grounds are lumpier than an old mattress - and his favorite roads aren't all paved either. Look for a fantastic stage here.

Our sources are sure we�ll see a stage Urbania � Cesena through the Appennines with some interesting climbs like Carpegna and Sorrivoli. The final 40 km will be the same of the stage arrived in Cesena in 2004 (Sella won) � in fact, PEZ�s Jered Gruber reported these parcours as going �from coastal flat, dull, and boring to Ardennes madness with numerous short, steep climbs whose grades often resembled a high-schooler's age.� Should be good.

The next two days from Forl� to Carpi and Modena to Cittadella are for the sprinters.


Last time the Giro visited the Alpe di Pampeago, Simoni showed all comers who the grand master bad ass was.

Things then start to really rock with a great stage from Verona to the Alpe di Pampeago

On Sunday, July 8th, 2007 Sleep America kicked off its 10th anniversary, with the help of Rich Bauer and The United Phoenix Fire Fighters Association, by giving away 150 beds to underprivileged Arizona residents.

The �Dare to Dream� event was focused on giving those in need of a bed a chance to enhance the quality of their lives through products that significantly improve the quality of their sleep. The beds were given away as a part of this unique, innovative event and were donated by Sleep America vendors Kingsdown, Sealy, Simmons, Spring Air and Tempurpedic. Arizona residents went to any one of the 44 Sleep America locations to pick up an entry form or to www.sleepamerica.com to submit an entry form.

Sleep America President Debbie Gaby said, �For ten years the community has been here to support our business. On our anniversary we wanted to continue to support our community by making sure those in need of a good night�s rest can now get one with the right bed this holiday season!�

Director of Community Programs at the United Phoenix Fire Fighters Association Rich Bauer said, �The United Phoenix Fire Fighters decided to join in on this promotion because it is a wonderful thing to do for the underprivileged in our community. Many times people live paycheck to paycheck and lose sleep about paying rent, let alone worrying about a comfortable bed to sleep in. Sleep America is doing something to help people who otherwise couldn�t even DREAM of affording a new bed.�

All entries had to be submitted by September 3rd, 2007

The U.S. market for mattresses is primarily a replacement business, with consumers replacing old mattresses with newer ones. A number of forces and messages are converging on the consumer to reduce the time of the replacement cycle and to increase the price of the replacement. Innerspring mattresses have been the standard, but the industry is turning toward new materials and technologies such as foam, gel, and air chambers. These new mattress technologies are important, but what's also new is how companies have begun marketing - promoting the benefits of sleep rather than the mattress components. Noting that people spend one-third of their lives in bed, mattress company messages are using research on sleep, sleep deprivation, and consumer attitudes to incorporate mattresses into the refuge and sanctuary that consumers' bedrooms have become.

Although dominated by a few major companies, the U.S. mattress industry faces many dynamic issues, including regulation, competition from smaller companies and foreign manufacturers, environmental concerns, and the changing demographics of their consumers

Unless you enjoy being sad and lonely, do not use these images in your bedroom.

Tchi adds that one should also take note of bed positions. Beds should be easily approachable from both sides. Feng shui also recommends to have two bedside tables (one on each side) and to avoid having the bed in a direct line with the door.

�A good looking and well-balanced bed is important in creating a perfect feng shui bedroom. Good mattress, solid headboard and high-quality sheets from natural fibers are likewise important in creating harmonious feng shui energy,� Tchi notes.

She also advises to keep all bedroom doors closed at night be it the closet doors, the en-suite bathroom door or the bedroom door as this will allow the best and most nourishing flow of energy to strengthen your physical health, as well as the health of your relationship.

Home destroyed

Family escapes mobile home fire Tuesday
By PAUL STONE The Palestine Herald
Authorities believe a late morning fire Tuesday which destroyed a mobile home north of the Palestine city limits may have started due to a malfunctioning free-standing fan.Anderson County Sheriff Greg Taylor said sheriff's deputy John Wright was dispatched to a fire at a single-wide mobile home at 8267 CR 404, approximately 10 miles north of Palestine, at 11:41 a.m. Tuesday.The mobile home was insured by its owner, according to the sheriff, who said no one was injured as a result of the blaze.'A lady and her two children - a 2-year-old son and 8-month-old daughter - were home,' Taylor said. 'She (the mother) was in the house and heard the baby say, 'Hot.' She looked around and saw some flames coming from a mattress in the east bedroom.'She drug the mattress out of the house and put it out with a garden hose,' the sheriff added.The woman went back into the house to discover 'a free-standing fan/air purifier' on fire in the same bedroom, according to Taylor. She then 'threw the fan in the bathtub,' he added.By this time, the fire had spread to other areas of the home, according to Taylor.'She tried to put some of it out,' Taylor said. 'She finally had to get her kids and dogs and get out of the house.'The Montalba, Elmwood and Bradford volunteer fire departments responded to the fire.Taylor said a representative of the American Red Cross had been contacted to provide assistance for the displaced family.'What a horrible time of the year to lose your home,' Taylor said, 'but fortunately no one was hurt.'----Paul Stone may be contacted via e-mail at pstonepalestineherald.com

The company has been zealous about protecting its trademarks, trade secrets and other assets; since 1996, the company has filed 20 suits against other manufacturers, individuals, retailers or others over issues connected to the nation's $7.6 billion-a-year mattress industry, the docket at the federal courthouse in Minneapolis shows.
For example, in April 2006, after officials with rival mattress maker Serta Inc. wrote to Select Comfort to complain about the company's use of the phrases 'The Key to a Perfect Night's Sleep' and 'The Gift of Perfect Sleep,' Select Comfort sued Serta. The company sought a declaratory judgment that the phrases did not infringe on Serta's phrases 'Perfect Sleeper' and 'Perfect Night.'
That case was settled out of court in March.

A Monday morning fire that damaged four row homes in Harrisburg and displaced a man and his son started on a mattress on the second floor of one of the homes, Harrisburg Fire Chief Don Konkle said today.

'We don't know if it was careless use of smoking materials or an electrical shortage,' he added.

The home, on the 1500 block of Berryhill Street, was vacant but fire officials and neighbors believe homeless people were staying there. The home did have electricity and a space heater was found near the mattress, Konkle said.

There's many theories as to it's cause.But now, a New Zealand researcher claims he's put a stop to nearly all SIDS cases in his country, and he wants to help parents here do the same thing. Dr. Jim Sprott has a simple solution, that he says is 100 percent effective, and it lies in a baby's mattress. He recommends parents cover the mattress with a special wrap, and then layer it with cotton bedding.So far, there has not been a large study backing Sprott's theory. However, he claims his research, along with a British study, finds chemicals in a crib mattress can combine with a household fungus, causing a deadly nerve gas responsible for SIDS.Until a large study is conducted, the majority of the scientific community will not fully back Sprott's findings, however, many say his recommendations do not hurt a baby.Sprott says he takes no money from the bed covers he recommends, nor he says does he accept donations for his non-profit organization.For more information and to learn how to purchase the recommended covers, go to www.nomoresids.orgwww.babysake.com www.healthychild.com www.ecobaby.com www.dandelionsummers.com

Firefighters douse Oxford fire

By Leslie H. Dixon , Staff Writer
Tuesday, November 27, 2007
OXFORD - Firefighters from four towns quickly knocked down a bedroom fire at a house on Allen Hill Road on Sunday night. No one was injured, but the smoke and fire, which was contained to a mattress in a bedroom, caused $8,000 to $10,000 in damage to the home owned by Bradley Edwards, fire Chief Scott Hunter said. It appears the fire started after a pillow fell onto a nearby burning candle, which in turn lit the mattress on fire, he said. Hunter said firefighters from Oxford, Norway, Paris and Mechanic Falls responded to 142 Allen Hill Road about 8:45 p.m., quickly extinguishing the blaze. The mutual aid response is standard in a structure fire, the chief explained. Neither Edwards nor another occupant were in the bedroom when the fire started, Hunter said

It took fire fighters ten minutes to put out the blaze, which started in Simon and Matthew’s shared bedroom at about 7.30pm.
Crew manager at Newbury fire station, Mike Wilson, said fire crews had thought someone was in the building but the family had escaped.
Mrs Loughnane believes the fire was started by a candle that had been left burning beside a bed in the room, eventually catching the mattress. Her son thought he had blown it out.
A neighbour who saw the fire in the upstairs bedroom banged on the door to alert the family.
Mrs Loughnane believes the family could not smell the smoke as they have fire doors in the house.
The fire brigade was called and an ambulance and police attended

Bustamente, 39, said he offered to move his belongings, but the officer told him he would be arrested if he did. Bustamente said he ran away. When he returned, he said, his tent was slashed, his mattress was punctured and his lantern was smashed.

He says he complained to the Police Department and got a letter back saying the incident would be investigated, but that's all he's heard.

He said he wants the city to 'replace my stuff and tell the cops to stop being such bullies.'

BEFORD SPRINGS RESORT, Pa. -- It is late and I am very tired the night I check into Bedford Springs Resort in south central Pennsylvania's Cumberland Valley. But as the evening unfolds, I will get very little sleep.

It isn't that my $249 bedroom for the night is not comfortable. The mile-high bed's thick mattress and cloud-soft bedding are cushy -- once I manage to scale them without the help of a step-stool.

It isn't that the hallways are not quiet. As I walk them in the wee hours of the night, I am by myself, although not really alone.

The newly restored resort's country setting is peaceful, too. No vehicular noise

Best mattress for a bad back

br/> Dr. Sears' Tips for Safe Co-Sleeping:
* Take precautions to prevent baby from rolling out of bed, even though it is unlikely to happen when baby is sleeping next to mother. Like heat-seeking missiles, babies automatically gravitate toward a warm body. Yet, to be safe, place baby between mother and a guardrail or push the mattress flush against the wall and position baby between mother and the wall. Guardrails enclosed with plastic mesh are safer than those with slats, which can entrap baby's limbs or head. Be sure the guardrail is flush against the mattress so there is no crevice that baby could sink into.

* Place baby adjacent to mother, rather than between mother and father

Stockists of sealy orthopedic bed mattresses

Generally, the memory foam density of a tempurpedic mattress is 5 lb. The difficulty in this is that while for some people 5 lb is too firm and tough, this is why mattresses with the density of 3 lb and 4 lb are introduced.

It is advisable to shop for tempurpedic mattress that has a density of 4 lb because the one that has a density lower than it would not last longer and are very soft. However, a memory foam mattress of 4 or 5 lb normally last for more than 10 years.

Bed mattress pad sack


ATKINS - Two Atkins residents were taken to a Cedar Rapids hospital Sunday afternoon after a house fire.

The man and woman didn't appear seriously injured but were taken to the hospital for treatment of smoke inhalation, Fire Chief Gary Lange said. He said he couldn't identify the couple.

Lange said a child playing with a lighter started the fire at 403 Second St. shortly after 3 p.m. Firefighters removed the mattress from the house before the flames could spread, he said.

INTER GARDEN, Fla. -- A Winter Garden resident escaped injury as her single-story wood frame home caught fire early Monday morning.

Firefighters were called by neighbors who noticed the flames at about 3:30 a.m.. The house, located at 202 North St., had flames and heavy smoke coming from the front portion of the structure when fire crews arrived

ONCE Upon A Mattress-a musical adaptation of the fairy tale classic The Princess and the Pea played to appreciative audiences at the Naparima Bowl, San Fernando and most likely, a star was born.

The production was staged by the Presentation College Mixed Choir under the musical direction of Cynthia Lee Mack, theatrical direction of Dexter Crawford and sported a cast of about 40.

Overall, the production was well executed by the cast of young thespians who managed to adequately portray the many nuances running throughout the text.

The casting choices were quite apt leading to the emergence of the star of the show Shenelle Jeanville who played the delightfully uncouth marshland princess Winnifred.

It was evident that Jeanville's near farcical portrayal of the character was one which could only be derived as a result of natural inclination

I had to remain calm because I am very afraid of heights.

IESB: Were there any close calls?

EG: The special effects team look after you. There was always a mattress beneath me (while doing wire work). . I didn�t die (laughs).

IESB: Your character has an eternal life and your character falls in love with mortal men but this is a troublesome combination for obvious reasons. Can you relate yourself to this character.

EG: Well, I�m not immortal. Witches live for one-thousand years. And it�s very painful for them because when they fall in love because human beings have short lives and for her (Serafina) it�s painful

'As long as it doesn't leave the casino, you don't have to pay the taxes,' one buddy told me. His proof was that a friend of his employs this interesting strategy, so it has to be true. My other friend was equally insistent that this was a little known example of Internal Revenue Service largess.
Now, I only covered the federal courts and IRS criminal cases for several years so what do I know? But in those years I came away with the feeling that the IRS wasn't exactly the federal agency with a biggest heart. (That would be the U.S. Department of Free Air, Gravity and Good Wishes.)
In fact, I covered a case where a gullible gentleman had been told by some scam artists that paying federal taxes is voluntary and so he didn't have to do it. Before finding him guilty, a real sweetheart of a visiting federal judge known to occasionally bite off the heads of criminal defendants and spit them out into the hallway, leaned over the bench, glared at the poor guy and yelled, 'Yeah, paying taxes is voluntary! You volunteer to do it OR SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS TO YOU!' He then sent the man to the slammer for two years.
So the idea that the IRS would let gamblers squirrel away their winnings in a casino seemed a tad too philanthropic to be true
