Although the price of Facebook (FB[1]) stock isn't jarringly different than it was about a month ago, it hasn't been for a lack of movement. Since my last update on FB stock[2] (Dec. 5), shares proceeded to rally more than 20% in about two-and-a-half weeks; however, since then, momentum has begun to wane as indicated by various momentum oscillators.
Before looking at the charts, I would be remiss not to point out Facebook's recent $15 million acquisition announcement of link-sharing platform Branch Media. FB continues to buy up small companies to complete areas on the Facebook site that see significant user growth.
On the research front, plenty of FB stock analysts remain critical of Facebook's business model, while others — some of whom simply want to stir up the headlines — are ridiculously bullish on the stock's growth prospects.
For me, rather than getting overly bulled or beared up about Facebook, I prefer to focus on the price action to tell me what side of the market to trade … and to that end, FB stock has done a good job giving us valid signals during the past 12 months.
On the chart, note the early- to mid-December rally in FB stock, which then quickly began to consolidate sideways on slowing momentum — see the Stochastic indicator on the lower part of the chart as it flashes divergence.
During the past few weeks, FB stock has consolidated in a fairly tight pattern, the lower end of which was once again tested with Monday's 3.5% selloff (see blue arrow on the chart below).
From here, until FB stock breaks below $55.50 or back above $58.50, I see little to do with Facebook. My upside and downside targets, should one of the aforementioned levels break, are $62 on the upside and $51 on the downside, for the time frame of a handful of weeks.

Heart Soar
- Artist: Mary Ellen Spann
- Genre: Rock
- Release Date: 6/5/2001
Vocalist/Songwriter, Mary Ellen Spann's latest solo release, "Heart Soar," spans continents and genres - from Brazil to Ireland and pop to acoustic rock. Co-produced with Colin Boyd, Spann's latest and first release on her label, China Alley Records, consists of eight original tunes and two standards by Gershwin & Jobim. "This is a true reflection of my eclectic musical up bringing," states Spann. Born and raised in the state of South Dakota, music has been in her blood from the start, with a grandfather who composed and sang cowboy ballads on WNAX radio, a father who played saxophone in his own big band and a mother who sang jazz standards. The youngest of four children, Mary Ellen grew up in a house filled with the likes of Hoagy Carmichael, Brazil 66, the Gershwin Brothers, Peggy Lee, Sons of the Pioneers, Karen Carpenter, Dan Fogelberg and Bonnie Raitt to name a few. "I caught the trickle down of everyone else's music in the family, " states Spann. She has performed her music in New York at The Bitter End, in Nashville as West Wood One's featured upcoming artist and overseas on the U.S.O. Tour in Germany, Italy, Turkey, Greece, Spain and England. As a Texas based songwriter, the big band, Tuxedo Junction recently recorded her bluesy, "Tatertot Casserole" with an 18-piece arrangement. This coming June Mary Ellen will be one of five featured songwriters chosen to represent the Dallas/Ft. Worth area at the Kerrville Folk Festival.

Order for tonight:
1st: William (Tango and Samba)
2nd: Katherine (Quickstep and Salsa)
3rd: Donald (Waltz and Samba)
4th: Maria (AT and Jive)
Now they have William go first This will also be the order for the relay dance, but I'm still betting William and Katherine getting the top 2 spots there. Oddly enough, I think this could be the over all order when the season is (finally) over next week. Although I'm hoping for Maria in 3rd, Donald winning, and William 2nd (or Maria in 2nd). I'm not overly picky with who comes in where, I just want Donald hoisting the mirrorball (and Peta) over his shoulders in triumph. Actually, since Derek and Mark have made it a habit to hoist the champions over their shoulders every season, I'd like to see them try to do that to Donald I'm still hoping the reason Donald has gotten robbed week after week in the scores is because his fanbase is enormous and it doesn't matter what they give him.
Newest couple alert. Didn't see this one coming, but I thought Peta was still dating Damian:
Dancing With the Stars' Maksim Chmerkovskiy Dating Peta Murgatroyd! - UsMagazine.com
Also, a side note, but it sounded like Derek might have been injured prior to tonight's show. Maria tweeted something about having to fix him up and put him back together.Dance floor romance!
A Dancing With the Stars insider tells Us Weekly pros Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd are the longrunning program's newest couple.
PHOTOS: DWTS' hottest hookups!
Though the source admits the romance is still new, the pair are already serious about one another. "Maks wanted a girlfriend," the insider shares of the dancer, 32, who was paired with the recently eliminated Melissa Gilbert this season. "Peta is really sweet and an amazing girl who had a crush on him for a long time."
Adds the source of Chmerkovskiy and the New Zealand native (who is partnered with Season 14 finalist Donald Driver), "They are really happy together and having a great time."
PHOTOS: Remember when they were on DWTS?
This isn't the first time Maks has found love on the show; in 2008, Chmerkovskiy got engaged to fellow pro Karina Smirnoff, though the duo broke things off in 2009.

Ugh to the AS edition Of course, it may turn out great, but I kind of doubt it. And Maks's comments in his blog make me think it won't, because he's probably already hearing things of how it's going to go behind the scenes.
I also think it puts celebs who haven't danced anything since leaving the show at a disadvantage over celebs like Sabrina who live and breathe DWTS, was already a ringer, and has continued dancing ballroom since leaving the show. They want to give her the trophy, so just do it.

Error bounds for asymptotic expansions of Wilks' lambda distribution
Let [Lambda]=Se/Se+Sh, where Sh and Se are independently distributed as Wishart distributions Wp(q,[Sigma]) and Wp(n,[Sigma]), respectively. Then [Lambda] has Wilks' lambda distribution [Lambda]p,q,n which appears as the distributions of various multivariate likelihood ratio tests. This paper is concerned with theoretical accuracy for asymptotic expansions of the distribution of T=-nlog[Lambda]. We derive error bounds for the approximations. It is necessary to underline that our error bounds are given in explicit and computable forms.

Five people were injured, including two children, in a two-vehicle collision Wednesday night in Carlsbad, authorities said.
The crash was reported about 7:20 p.m. at the intersection of Palomar Airport Road and Innovation Way.
The four occupants of one of the vehicles, two adults and two children, had to be extricated by firefighters, Carlsbad Fire Department Battalion Chief Luis Osuna said.
The sole occupant of the other vehicle was treated for injuries at the scene, he said.
One of the children was flown by medical helicopter to Rady Children's Hospital, Osuna said, and the other was taken by ground ambulance to Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla.
Westbound Palomar Airport Road was closed for about two hours as police investigated the collision, according to the California Highway Patrol.

Loebsack Office to Distribute Inaugural Tickets by Lottery
WASHINGTON — Congressman Dave Loebsack announced Monday his office will provide tickets to President Barack Obama's swearing in ceremony through a lottery system during the month of December. Residents of Iowa's Second Congressional District who are interested in attending the event must fill out the form at http://loebsack.house.gov/inauguration to register for the lottery. Each resident awarded a ticket will be responsible for their own travel arrangements.
The lottery drawing will take place in mid-December. At that time, constituents will be required to provide additional information before they can secure their ticket allotment.
Inauguration Day is Monday, Jan. 21. It is expected there will be a variety of events that will not require tickets, including a public viewing area of the inaugural ceremony on the National Mall and the public inauguration parade. Iowans unable to attain tickets through Congressman Loebsack's office are encouraged to monitor the Inauguration Planning Committee website, http://inaugural.senate.gov/, for further details on non-ticketed events.
Please be aware that there are a few organizations trying to sell fake tickets to people. Tickets are only being provided free of charge from official government offices, and tickets must be picked up in person from Loebsack's office before Inauguration Day. Any group that suggests differently is providing incorrect information.

IDF Uncovers Gaza Tunnel Opening Inside Israel
JERUSALEM, Israel -- The Israeli army uncovered a tunnel under the border between Gaza and Israel this week that could have been used to attack Israelis, an IDF officer said on Friday.
Some say this week's discovery of another tunnel dug deep under the border between Israel and the Gaza Strip should shatter any remaining illusions that the residents of the coastal enclave -- or at least their leaders -- want to be friends.
According to a statement by the IDF's (Israel Defense Forces) Spokesman's Office, the tunnel varies in depth and opens hundreds of meters (yards) inside Israel.
The IDF uncovered three such tunnels in 2013. One of them -- tall enough for an average man to stand upright -- had caches of explosives along the way.
In a statement released on Friday, IDF spokesman Lt. Col. Peter Lerner said "the operational assumption is that Hamas and other terror organizations continue to tunnel and prepare points of attack against Israel and its civilians."
Lerner said the builders intended "to pose a direct threat to Israeli territory and enable Hamas terrorists to reach and harm Israeli civilians," noting that in the past Gaza-based terrorists had used such tunnels to attack and abduct Israeli citizens.
That was the case with Cpl. Gilad Shalit, kidnapped during a cross-border attack on an IDF outpost near the Kerem Shalom crossing with Gaza in June 2006.
A Hamas-led terror cell that tunneled under the border and took the soldiers by surprise, killing two, wounding three and dragging an injured Shalit back through the tunnel to Gaza. There, he was held as a bargaining chip for more than five years. After prolonged negotiations, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made the tough decision to exchange more than 1,000 Arab terrorists for Shalit.
Since then, the IDF has thwarted a number of kidnapping attempts along both the southern and northern borders and inside the country, targeting soldiers in particular.

The easy thing to do today is to pile on David Wright for his hat trick strikeout night and his throwing error that cost the Mets the game last night but I'm not hopping on that band wagon. I'm not saying there isn't anything wrong with Wright, there is as his strikeout rate makes Dave Kingman look like Rod Carew and his defense has been sub-par, maybe he is still spooked by the beaning he took from Matt Cain last season, maybe HoJo has done more harm than good with his work with Wright. I have no idea what's keeping Wright from busting out, maybe another season of shouldering the burden of carrying the offense is too much of a beast of burden, maybe there is something physically wrong that he's not talking about or maybe there is something going on in his personal life that's eating at him, I'm just a fan like you so I have no answer but the sad part of this is the manager and front office have no clue on what's wrong with Wright, and that is the biggest part of the problem.
J-Man after the game last night hinted that he felt Wright needs a day or two off and Wright responded with a loud "Hell No" so it's good to see he still has a flame burning and I agree with Wright for two reasons, one as long as he is healthy physically and mentally then leave him in the lineup, and two, who the hell will fill in a 3rd base? Fernando Tatis? Alex Cora? Please?
Yesterday I started a bit of a shit storm on Twitter taking on our fellow Mets fans of the sabrmetric ilk. My main contention was Jose hasn't blossomed into the elite player I thought he would be. Now I know I'm not alone in this thinking as we have seen the brilliance of Reyes game and especially after the 2006 season when at the age of 23 Jose banged out 19 HR and 84 RBI from the lead off spot. Add in 17 3B 64 SB and amazing range at shortstop why wouldn't I think that Reyes would become an elite player, a player who would be in the MVP talk for the next 10 years especially as he overcame his hamstring problems and was filling out physicaly. It hasn't happen. That's not to say he's not a top ML'er as was misconstrued by my Twitter fans, but he has not jumped to that elite level, he's still young enough and talented enough to do make it to that level but quite frankly I'm not as optimistic as I was before that he will.
I am listening to Mikhail Porokhorov on WFAN and if I ever were to meet this man I would throw myself at his feet and plead with him to buy the Mets.

Jan. 9, 2011RAIDERS PAGE RAIDERS VIDEOPaul Gutierrez
Former Raiders receiver Tim Brown was announced as one of 15 modern-era finalists for Hall of Fame consideration Sunday morning.
Two other former Raiders who were semifinalists, though, did not make the cut -- punter Ray Guy, a member of all three Raiders Super Bowl-winning teams, and cornerback Lester Hayes, who won two Super Bowls.
Brown was a finalist last January in his first eligible year. He was the Raiders first-round pick in 1988 out of Notre Dame, where he won the Heisman Trophy, and played with the Raiders through 2003.
NEWS: 49ers DeBartolo, Craig don't make Hall cut
After a final season in Tampa Bay, he retired as the NFLs third all-time leading receiver with 1,094 receptions. His 14,934 receiving yards ranked second. His 100 touchdown catches were third. Having returned punts earlier in his career, Brown also retired ranking fifth in career combined net yardage with 19,682 yards.
There are two other wide receiver finalists -- Chris Carter and Andre Reed -- and a tight end in Shannon Sharpe.
Further clogging Browns path to Canton are five first-year eligible players in running backs Jerome Bettis, Marshall Faulk and Curtis Martin, cornerback Deion Sanders and offensive tackle Willie Roaf.
The rest of the finalists -- center Dermontti Dawson, defensive end Richard Dent, defensive endlinebackers Chris Doleman and Charles Haley, defensive tackle Cortez Kennedy and NFL Films founder Ed Sabol. Linebackers Chris Hanburger and Les Richter are the two senior nominees.
RELATED: NFL news scoreboard
Hall rules stipulate that between four and seven new members will be selected each year.
The Hall of Fame class of 2011 will be announced at 4 p.m. on Feb. 5, the day before Super Bowl XLV in Arlington, Texas.

So what tools and devices are federal employees using for telework? According to a survey of Telework Week participants by Mobile Work Exchange, laptops remain the tool of choice among teleworkers, with more than 90 percent of Telework Week participants saying they use a laptop.
Sixty percent of teleworkers said they used a VPN connection for telework, while nearly 30 percent said they used a smartphone. Other tools, like virtual desktops, collaboration tools, video conferencing, desktop PCs and tablets were less popular among Telework Week participants, though collaboration tools, video conferencing and tablets were more popular among participants this year than in 2012.
"I foresee more widespread use of collaboration tools and video conference in the future," said Cindy Auten, general manager of Mobile Work Exchange. "That is one area to watch as telework adoption becomes more widespread at agencies to keep people connected. I see collaboration jumping year over year."
When it comes to devices, however, the key to the future of federal telework may already be in employees' pockets, Mobile Work Exchange noted. For example, many employees noted that a bring your own device, or BYOD, strategy would help their organization improve its telework program.
And while 92 percent of organizations surveyed said they have a formal telework program, and 92 percent believe they actively support and encourage telework, just 11 percent say their organizations have an official BYOD policy.
"I would love to have a BYOD phone so that I only have to carry one smartphone instead of two," one Telework Week participant said in the report.
"I would like to see agencies improve options as far as providing a second workstation that stays at home or using a flash drive or personal computer that sets up a desktop rather than having to carry the main work computer home," another participant said. "That would really increase the options for continuity."
What tools do you use to telework? What can your agency do to improve telework, and would a BYOD strategy help?

SCOTT JAGOW: Hong Kong Disneyland threw a party today to celebrate its anniversary, but Mickey and Goofy had to stand out in the pouring rain. It's kind of symbolic of the way this first year has gone. Jocelyn Ford reports.
JOCELYN FORD: Mickey's magical kingdom has gotten a bum rap in mainland China.
Local newspapers warn visitors it's too small, too expensive, and there are long lines.
Disney has also had troubles introducing its characters to Chinese consumers. Around the time the park opened, Disney had been hoping to get a license for a cable channel, but that didn't happen.
Paul French is a Shanghai-based business consultant.
PAUL FRENCH: The media regulators took a decision that they didn't want to increase the amount of foreign programming, and in particular cartoons. So Disney didn't get their cable channel.
But there are other signs Disney is marching into China. Nowadays in many smaller cities, you can buy pirated Mickey products, like kiddy back packs. If Mickey weren't popular, no one would bother to rip him off.
In Beijing, I'm Jocelyn Ford for Marketplace.

Okay - I doubt I'll watch it. Thanks for the info.
I'm not a Paula fan. She bugs me a lot. However, I would be remiss not to point out that she has aged exceptionally well! It's been DECADES since she came on the scene.
Wow, Emmett sounds as though he believes he's been defeated.
So from what I'm reading Apolo is gone and Melissa has made it to the finals??? I liked both of them, bummer.
Emmitt is gone. 2 for 2 - an all-female final.
Wow Kelly to the finals! :D
I say let's go with an all girl finale:nod
eta......so it will be an all girls finale.
This is Shawn's to lose. It's not undeserved, but she either has to royally screw up, or someone else's fanbase has to pull a Bristol and rig the lines.
So Derek will go out with a 4th win.
Wow, didn't see that coming. :yay Val! I guess I'll watch next week after all. An all female finals-we've never had that before.

All quotes by Gary Wheeler
(8 quotes found)
"That was probably the best and worst weekend of the year. We broke ground and then Dick had his stroke the Monday morning following. When you talk about highs and lows, that was kind of a microcosm."
"In that effort we made great strides. That is an ongoing effort and is something that will continue this year."
"I'm starting my 25th year in business here. I have seen many, many, many changes. We are certainly seeing an acceleration of those changes."
"You have to enjoy your work. I really don't think of it as work. It's something you incorporate into your life. You just accept it."
"We've tried to put our lineup in a situation where we have somebody behind him. We're just hoping that if they do pitch around him, we can get the job done."
"I'm proud of our kids. We battled. We could have hung it up, but that's what we're working on: Trying to get better and keep battling."

Dodgers stymied by Rockies in rubber game
Dodgers stymied by Rockies in rubber game
Dodgers starter Nathan Eovaldi was strong for five innings, though he faltered in the sixth, giving up a walk and three hits before being pulled after throwing 102 pitches, 63 of which were strikes.
"He's at a stage for me -- he's like [2011 National League Cy Young Award winner Clayton] Kershaw three years ago," manager Don Mattingly said. "You're going to see some really good games. You're going to see some games where his pitch count gets up. He's going to keep getting better and better the longer we keep him here."
One of the positives from a tight game and a tough loss was Eovaldi's ability to challenge a powerful lineup without his best stuff. After giving up two runs on four hits and a walk over seven innings in a loss to the Brewers in his first start, Eovaldi struggled to command his offspeed pitches against the Rockies.
"Nate wasn't as sharp as he was against Milwaukee," Mattingly said. "He really didn't get many secondary pitches over, so he had to keep challenging them with the fastball. He hung in there."
The Rockies' first run was unearned, as leadoff man Dexter Fowler singled through the infield to left, stole second, and advanced on a passed ball. He was driven home on a groundout to third by Marco Scutaro.
Eovaldi allowed only one more hit -- an infield single that catcher Wilin Rosario beat out on a close play in the fifth -- until breaking down a bit in his final inning of work. He walked Fowler to lead off the sixth and gave up an infield single to Carlos Gonzalez before yielding a run-scoring single and double to Todd Helton and Jordan Pacheco, respectively.
"It made it a lot more difficult," Eovaldi said about pitching without command of his secondary pitches. "You're trying to throw them for strikes, and then you're falling behind guys. You have to spot up your fastball that much more. It makes it difficult."
The Dodgers were stymied by Rockies starter Alex White for six scoreless innings before finally knocking him out in the seventh. White held the Dodgers hitless through 3 2/3 before Jerry Hairston broke through with a two-out single to left.
"His stuff's just good," Mattingly said of White. "He's kind of a spray-painter for me. He's not a guy that's sitting there hitting spots. They pretty much set up down the middle with him and let the thing eat. His ball moves pretty good. He's a big ground ball guy." The only other hit White allowed was a two-run homer from A.J. Ellis, who drilled a 1-0 fastball over the left-field wall in the seventh, plating Jim Loney, who had walked.
"Early in the count, he was using the sinker to set up his other stuff," Ellis said. "With a runner on first and a double-play situation, I wanted to find a sinker to hit. It was up to me to get it up in the air. Fortunately I got one a little higher than he would have liked to have thrown it."
White walked Adam Kennedy, his fifth free pass of the day, before the Rockies went to the bullpen. Dee Gordon ran out an infield single off reliever Rex Brothers with the Rockies second baseman DJ LeMahieu breaking to the bag on the pitch, but the Rockies' bullpen retired the final seven batters in succession.
"A.J.'s homer was big, because then it's every swing of the bat," Mattingly said. "We're down 3-0, he hits the two-run homer, so at that point everybody that walks up there gives you a chance to tie the game, so you're hopeful the whole time."
LeMahieu bounced back and stole a hit from pinch-hitter Alex Castellanos in the next at-bat by diving into the hole and making the play to first to end the inning. With runners on first and second, the ball would have been a game-changer if not for LeMahieu's highlight-reel play.
"Hit," Castellanos said regarding what he thought off the bat. "Double possibly. He just snagged it. When I saw him snag it, I started hustling hard to try and beat it out. He made a great play on it. Not much you can do about that."
If LeMahieu hadn't gotten a glove on it, Kennedy likely would have scored from second to tie the game, and the speedy Dee Gordon had a chance to score the go-ahead run from first.
"What can you say," said Rockies reliever Matt Belisle, who came in to face Castellanos. "He squared up a slider pretty good, and all I see is No. 9 on a hard backhand, a great job. A huge play, huge situation."
Ellis and Tony Gwynn Jr. took closer Rafael Betancourt to the warning track in the ninth, but Gonzalez and Michael Cuddyer had them measured and made the catches to secure the win and the series.
"You never know here," Mattingly said of Ellis' warning-track fly. "But usually the ball gets small on you quick. You can kind of tell if they're traveling out. I thought [Gwynn's] had a shot.
The Dodgers left Colorado with their losing streak behind them and a solid hold on the best record in baseball, but at 1-6 over their last seven games, they have to turn things around as they head to Philadelphia for a four-game set.
"I don't think there's a person here pushing a panic button," Ellis said. "Someone said today is officially the end of the first third of the season. There's two-thirds to go. I think our first third was pretty darn good."

I don't recommend this.
Mom wants you as co-signer on loan, but a co-signer actually promises that they will pay the loan if the original borrower defaults. And they have to have a good credit score to co-sign.
And she just co-signed your student loan, so getting you as co-signer on house likely isn't going to work.
I do not like co-signing anything because doing so obligates me for someone else's credit errors. I have enough to do to keep my own credit score up. And most financial advisors also disapprove of co-signing due to the risks.

When my husband, Daniel, and I go camping for the weekend, there are no tents involved. We do not drag Therm-a-Rests or tarps out of the garage; we do not strap carefully rolled sleeping bags onto backpacks. Instead, we pile into our VW Eurovan and head for nearby wilderness to experience a night or two of nature—all within a comfort painstakingly designed by German automakers. We call it vamping.
The van is perfect for quick, low-maintenance outings, where day hikes and river strolling are on the agenda but sleeping on the ground is not. The fridge under the single backseat has room for the essentials (beer, wine, PB&J fodder), a bench seat folds down into a comfortable double bed, and the pop-top roof can either serve as an "upstairs" sleeping area or an airy cathedral ceiling. Plus there's plenty of storage in case I can't decide which shoes to bring.
On this outing, we headed about 100 miles east of Seattle on I-90, just past Cle Elum, to Teanaway Campground, a pretty drive-in site alongside the Teanaway River. The free, no-reservations (and no running water) spot served us well as an easy escape from the city. The sun shone, the river rushed, the ponderosa pines whispered in the breeze…and from 8 to 10 p.m. the campers across the way blasted Bob Seger. Thankfully, that old-time rock 'n' roll had ceased by the time we let the campfire die out, slid the van door closed and tucked in to our auto accommodations.
Captions: The fridge under the seat keeps things cool; sandwiches are staple foods when dining in the van (wine is nice too). We may forget kindling but we never forget the Kindle! High-tech reading in the fold-out bed "downstairs." Daniel keeps the back of the van shipshape—supplies are organized and ready for takeoff; upstairs sleeping quarters are high and tight.

A delegation of Chinese students from the University of Southern California crowded an arraignment court Monday only to be disappointed by a delay in proceedings for two men charged with murdering a pair of USC graduate students from China.
Some 30 to 40 students who stayed away from jobs or classes to be on hand expressed confusion outside court about the procedures that led to a postponement of the arraignment of 20-year-old Bryan Barnes and 19-year-old Javier Bolden to July 18.
Lawyers representing the defendants asked the judge for a delay.
The men are accused in the April 11 shootings of 23-year-old engineering students Ming Qu and Ying Wu, who were sitting in a car in an off-campus neighborhood. Prosecutors say the motive for the crime is believed to have been robbery.
Outside the courthouse, the student group unfurled a huge banner saying, "Protect Our Safety." It bore thousands of signatures in Chinese and English which were collected on campus and in the Southern California Chinese communities.
Members of the USC Chinese Students and Scholars Association also submitted a letter with 7,000 signatures to District Attorney Steve Cooley.
"We are counting on your office to help deliver justice in this case," the letter said. "We and many others in China and elsewhere are paying close attention to this case."
It said many Chinese students and their families have become very concerned about their safety.
Chen Zhunmin, head of the education office at the Chinese consulate in Los Angeles, attended the hearing. He said outside court that the victims' families in China are grieving but do not plan to come to the United States for the legal proceedings.
"Their families can't be here, so we are here," said Ashley Zhang, a recent graduate of the public policy masters program at USC.
Zhang, 24, who came from Yunnan, China to study at USC, said she was not personally acquainted with the victims.
"This isn't just about people who knew them. It's about all USC students," she said.
Zhang said she, like the students who were killed, were only children because of the Chinese government's one-child rule.
Newly appointed public defenders for Barnes and Bolden said they had not yet received discovery in the case and asked for a delay until the end of August. Superior Court Judge Shelly Torrealba said that was too long and set the next hearing for July 18, when the defendants will be expected to enter pleas.
Both defendants also are accused of attempted murder for a Dec. 3 shooting at a party, and an amended complaint filed last month accuses Bolden of attempted murder in a Feb. 12 party shooting. Prosecutors say an error led to Barnes initially being charged in the latter case.
The defendants answered "yes" when asked if they agreed to the postponement.
Outside court, Lyong Liu, a graduate student in economics from Shandong Province China, said students have felt in danger since the killings.
"It's very scary," she said, noting students send each other alerts on social media if any danger is detected.
"The school won't let you know, but your friends will let you know," she said.
In another development, USC has asked a judge to dismiss a wrongful death suit filed by the parents of the victims against the university.
"The murders were random, unpredictable and unconnected to USC," said court papers filed by the university. They said the university is not liable for off campus crimes.
The lawsuit claims that USC has aggressively recruited Chinese students with promises of a safe campus.

(from Golden Gate Fields)
Jockey Frank Alvarado, known as a strong finisher, displayed his skill while recording his 2,000th career victory Sept. 18 at Golden Gate Fields.
The 39-year-old Alvarado scored the milestone win aboard 13-1 shot Skimasco, who battled gamely along the rail to win the 5 1/2-furlong fourth race by a nose over Special Therapy. Skimasco responded to strong urging from Alvarado down the stretch to pull out the victory.
Upon returning to the winner's circle, Alvarado was surprised to see Golden Gate Fields personnel holding a sign that read, "Congratulations jockey Frank Alvarado - 2,000 wins."
"I didn't know I was one (win) away and I'm glad I didn't know," said Alvarado. "This way I didn't worry about it. I knew I was getting close but I had no idea I was that close. It's great."
Alvarado already has sights set on his next goal.
"If I can stay safe and healthy, I want to try to win 3,000 races," he said. "I'd like to win No. 3,000 right here at Golden Gate."
Steve Specht, a veteran conditioner who often employs Alvarado to ride his horses, saddled Skimasco.
"I've had a lot of success with Frank," said Specht, who teamed with Alvarado to win the $1 million Sunshine Millions Classic at Gulfstream Park in 2007 with McCann's Mojave. "He's a very strong finisher and he's patient. He doesn't run and gun with a horse and have them fall apart on him late in the race. He's a smart rider."
Skimasco, a 2-year-old gelding who was making his career debut, paid $28.60 to win.

Aug. 10 (Bloomberg) -- The Obama administration is reviewing the country's ethanol policy amid calls from both political parties and the United Nations to suspend annual targets as the worst drought in 56 years spurs corn prices.
Twenty-five U.S. senators, both Republicans and Democrats, asked Lisa Jackson, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, to halt or lower mandates on how much ethanol the country must use this year and next. The senators' Aug. 7 letter followed an Aug. 1 petition from a bipartisan coalition of 156 members of the House of Representatives.
"I would simply say that the EPA, in consultation with the Department of Agriculture, is looking at this," Jay Carney, the White House press secretary, said today in Washington. "I don't have a statement one way or the other predicting what the experts are going to say."
Jose Graziano da Silva, director-general of the UN's Food & Agriculture Organization, called for a suspension of U.S. government-mandated ethanol output to allow more of the corn crop to be used for food and livestock feed, the Financial Times reported today.
The Agriculture Department cut its forecast for the 2012 U.S. corn harvest by 13 percent from 2011 to 10.8 billion bushels, the lowest level in six years. Ethanol will consume about 4.5 billion bushels, or 42 percent of the crop.
Corn for December delivery slid 1.8 percent to settle at $8.0925 a bushel today on the Chicago Board of Trade. Prices yesterday settled at a record $8.2375.
Denatured ethanol for September delivery fell 1.7 cents, or 0.6 percent, to settle at $2.609 a gallon in Chicago. One bushel of corn makes at least 2.75 gallons of the fuel.
