Not working correctly after update!

This is my code:

<div id=”blog-container”>
<div id=”column_00″>

<?php query_posts(‘showposts=16’); ?>
<?php $posts = get_posts(‘cat=-10&numberposts=16&offset=0’); foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?>
<?php static $count1 = 0; if ($count1 == “16”) { break; } else { ?>
• <div class=”grow pic”>
  “> <?php $url = wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID, ‘thumbnail’) ); ?>
  <img id=”featured1″ src=”<?php echo $url ?>” /></div>
  <h2><?php echo ShortenText(get_the_title()); ?></h2>
  <div id=”p-blog”><p><?php the_advanced_excerpt(“length=10&exclude_tags=img,p,strong,br,li,ul&allowed_tags=h1”); ?></p></div>
  <div id=”date-blog”><time datetime=”<?php the_time( ‘Y-m-d’ ); ?>” pubdate><?php the_time(‘j F Y’); ?></time>

<?php $count1++; } ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

</div></div>
