Where is Java Soundbank on Mac?

Google wasn't very helpful with this, so here you go google:
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK/Home/lib/audio/

That's where you put any alternative soundbanks from places like
this (which is a site with surprisingly little help for Mac developers)

And yes, it's almost 1AM, and I'm fiddling around with JFugue when I should maybe be sleeping.

Expression of gratitude is important

One teacher who had an enormous impact on my schooling is Professor Cynthia Johnston. She teaches Latin. She is a great teacher. Her creative idea of teaching with songs has made her lessons stick with me to this day. This made her a very good teacher. That, mixed with her professional patience, a friendly rapport and approachable demeanor made her great. All this is what I aspire to if and when I ever teach.

She only taught for a couple years while I was at Campbell High School; Georgia State University noticed how good she was and snatched her from us. I tried getting in touch with her last year to express my gratitude, but never got word back from Georgia State's foreign language department. If you or anyone you know has any information to her whereabouts, please pass along my sentiments.

Flex Popups with Effects

Whew, making popups have transition effects in Flex was harder than I thought it'd be.
Still, got it working.
Here's how you do it:
===
main.mxml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:application mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">

<mx:script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.managers.PopUpManager;
import mx.containers.TitleWindow;

public var swipe1:TitleWindow = new TitleWindow();
public var swipe2:TitleWindow = new TitleWindow();
public function popupClick():void{
var dialogClass:Class = Swipe2;
swipe2 = PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, dialogClass) as TitleWindow;
dialogClass = Swipe1;
swipe1 = PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, dialogClass) as TitleWindow;

}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:button label="popup" click="popupClick()">
</mx:Application>

Swipe1.mxml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:TitleWindow xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" width="400" height="300"
showCloseButton="true" close="handleClose(event)"
backgroundColor="green"
move="adjustForMove()">

<mx:script>
<![CDATA[

private function adjustForMove():void{

this.y=Application.application.swipe2.y;
}
private function transitionClick():void{
var wipeOut:WipeRight = new WipeRight();
wipeOut.showTarget = false;
wipeOut.target = this;//Application.application.swipe1;
wipeOut.addEventListener(EffectEvent.EFFECT_END,wipeEndHandler);
Application.application.swipe2.visible = true;
wipeOut.stop();
wipeOut.play()

}
private function wipeEndHandler(e:EffectEvent):void{
this.visible = false;
}
private function handleClose(event:CloseEvent):void{
Application.application.swipe2.handleClose(null);
PopUpManager.removePopUp(this);
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:button label="transition to 2" click="transitionClick()">
