Nodeprofile and other Nodefamily count-limited

One possible way, no-go:

http://api.drupal.org/api/function/hook_access/5

Attempting to use Drush for recently released modules does not work

Just so y'all know.

Update Status module must take a while to get its info.

Set GMap to not recenter when pop-up div opens
