The googleapis should already be included in meta.tpl or meta_css.tpl. Including multiple jQuery versions will produce silent errors.
Fadeslideshow should be in root skin and referenced in meta.tpl or meta_js.tpl

There </script> after the comments is unneeded, and so is the opening script afterwards. Move the opening script up to above the comments and throw literals in it.

<script type="text/javascript">
