How to disable Ticker in Facebook

Many people don’t like this ticker bar because they want updates of only close friends of them.
But doesn’t the News Feed already do that? Well, yes and no. Think of Happening Now as a shortcut or quick-glance list that summarizes current activities in one easy-to-peruse spot.
So if a friend just liked a video someone posted yesterday, it will show up in the list now, not buried back in the feed.

Obviously the info will be a little redundant between Happening Now and the News Feed, so hopefully there will be a way to set some filters for it. If so, this could be pretty handy. For example, I’d love to have a real-time list of posted articles and vids only. The main feed could house the status updates and pics of kittens, but the sidebar would be like a personalized real-time content channel populated by friends’ picks.
Facebook ticker bar example:
