JQuery/JCarouselLite Vertical Scrolling Division in Wordpress

JQuery/JCarouselLite Vertical Scrolling Division in Wordpress

Okay, so I'm fairly new to jQuery, actually I'm like completely new. I am designing a site for a client and need two simple plugins implemented on two separate pages. I'm using the Wordpress CMS and am experienced with it and PHP. Wordpress preloads jquery so all I have to do is call it using the proper php function and include the plugins. It also conflicts with the $. so I have to bypass it and use jQuery or set jQuery.noConflict(); to a variable.

The first thing I am trying to do is create a 'credit roll' of a division housing text, just like credits at the end of a movie. I am using the following method to do this:  http://www.webdesignbooth.com/create-a-vertical-scrolling-news-ticker-with-jquery-and-jcarousel-lite/ When I was using $. in the header with my script, jQuery wasn't being called due to the conflicts with other things in Wordpress and the page wasn't affected at all. Now that I have switched it out and called the script with jQuery.noConflict, the division I want to scroll is just disappearing, so at least it is being affected in some way. But why is it disappearing and not scrolling? Here is the location of the page: http://cherrysodagraphicdesign.com/vitatest/portfolio

Any advice? I don't want to bombard you with the code that is Wordpress, so let me know what pieces of information you'll need other than what you can get from the source code and I'll paste it in here.

Thanks in advance!!
