I am hoping to hire a consultant for a couple of hours or so to help me fix 
a problem with my SIMILE Timeline. The problem appears to be related to the 
transition from the MIT site to the SIMILE site, and yesterday I posted a 
summary, which I've pasted below.

If someone on this list would have the time and interest in helping me to 
get my Timeline back up and working, I'd be happy to pay the going rate for 
such consulting assistance. I can be reached back-channel at 
[email protected]. Thanks!

Best Regards,

*Yesterday's Post*

Hello Everyone,

I am new to this group, and I'm hoping that someone can help me with 
 timeline problem. As will become obvious (if not already), my 
understanding in this area is quite limited. Nevertheless, up until 
sometime last month, the Coalition for an Ethical Psychology (
www.ethicalpsychology.org) had a really useful timeline (
www.ethicalpsychology.org/timeline) documenting psychologists' troubling 
roles in national security settings post-9/11, and I am responsible for 
maintaining it. At some point, however, the webpage stopped working, and 
now that page produces nothing other than a white screen with no 
background, no events, etc.

It was explained to me that the problem is probably related to some change 
that has resulted in my code no longer accessing the correct site(s). I've 
pasted below some of what I believe is perhaps the key code, for both my 
index.php page and my timeline-all.xml page. I would be enormously grateful 
if someone could offer me some more expert guidance on whether there are 
specific changes I need to make, and if so, what those changes would be. I 
am happy to provide whatever additional information might be useful, either 
here or back-channel. 

I apologize for troubling the group with what may well be a pretty basic 
problem. But I find myself turning to the kindness of strangers, in the 
hope of salvaging the timeline. Thanks in advance for any ideas!

   Roy Eidelson

        >

       APA member Larry James, who later becomes a member of the PENS Task 
Force, travels to Bagram to help transport prisoners, including three 
juveniles to Guantánamo. “I knew they were far from innocent.” (from James' 
"Fixing Hell," p. 47). &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;

Note: GTMO SOP protocols define juveniles as "under 16," whereas 
international law defines juveniles as under 18.
