Add date range to timeline? #101

It may be necessary to add a date scope to the timeline visualization. While the pipeline is only being run sporadically, there is a scenario where a rebuilding of the summary collection days after a pipeline run can cause a tail on the timeline to appear: fireshot screen capture 055 - public statistics i mit s open access article statistics - oastats-test_mit_edu_public_php tabs 1

After talking this issue over with Mike, it isn't clear whether this separate rebuilding of the summary collection will be needed - and there are other protections that we'll implement to prevent needing a change in the UI. In the event a UI change is needed, however, it seems that adding a date range to the timeline would address the problem.
