jQuery Image Slider / Plugin Issues

jQuery Image Slider / Plugin Issues

I'm designing a website based upon a Wordpress platform here: http://www.unifyourcommunity.com

I've integrated this image slider plugin: http://www.easingslider.matthewruddy.com/

As the FAQ on that plugin notes, problems arise when jQuery is already in the theme. If it's manually inserted jQuery into your theme previously then it will break the Easing Slider (along with other plugins potentially) because jQuery is being loaded twice (the Easing Slider also loads jQuery).

However, the jQuery call that's contained in my header is necessary for the proper functionality of the social media tabs just below the slider. Any suggested fixes?
