Hi, I have a couple of issues, but will start with the 2 basic ones and try to be brief:

Setup:  My page will display an Account name and then populate a picklist with all child accounts.

When the user selects a child account (from the picklist) a portion of the page should rerender with additional details about that child...there's more to it, and it's not the basic SFDC details page, but not important. 

First:  My picklist seems to be rerendering, but the function doesn't seem to be called.  I stuck in a simple "counter" to see if it's being called, and doesn't look like it.

2nd:  My debug logs don't seem to be doing anything.  I don't see either the system log window doing anything, or when I set up the debug log monitoring.  I have several system.debug("...") calls that don't show up.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I've put my vf page and controller below:

 Controller:
