+// Sticky Plugin v1.0.0 for jQuery
+// =============
+// Author: Anthony Garand
+// Improvements by German M. Bravo (Kronuz) and Ruud Kamphuis (ruudk)
+// Improvements by Leonardo C. Daronco (daronco)
+// Created: 2/14/2011
+// Date: 2/12/2012
+// Website: http://labs.anthonygarand.com/sticky
+// Description: Makes an element on the page stick on the screen as you scroll
+//       It will only set the 'top' and 'position' of your element, you
+//       might need to adjust the width in some cases.
