Based on what I know about Mexico and other Latin American countries that
have used paramilitary forces, if this plan gets enacted, we will see even
more extra-judicial killings and the level of impunity will increase (if
that is possible?)… A paramilitary force will have carte blanche to carry
out social cleansing and will be even less accountable than the current
federal police and military forces, in my opinion. It is interesting to
see this proposal from the PRI candidate since what most people seem to
think he will do is reestablish arreglos (arrangements) with criminal
organizations as a way to lessen the levels of violence. It is hard to
imagine that these new forces would not be even more easily corruptible.
The term fascist also comes to mind. molly

Rights Abuses by Mexico Military in Spotlight–Wall Street Journal
MEXICO CITY—Throughout Mexico's drug war, the country's military has shrugged off allegations that soldiers have occasionally tortured or even executed suspected members of drug cartels, saying that the majority of the charges were made up by zealous activists or the cartels themselves.
But three high-profile cases this month that are being investigated outside the military's own secret courts have prompted the army's top commander to say the military may have committed serious human-rights abuses.

Both the Cubes and the envelope are printed in 4 color process on 500micron box board. The Cube leaps from the envelope due to an internal rubber band.
Rubber bands do not retain their full elasticity if stored at full stretch. The rubber band in this product is at full stretch when the product is stored flat. We advise that you plan to distribute the product within days of its manufacture in order to get the most effective pop-up.

John Rawlings, local authority adviser for Neath Port Talbot, has been working with maths consultant Richard Dunne and class teacher Pamela Morgan to revolutionise the teaching of decimals.
In this programme, we look at Pamela's Welsh Year 4/5 class which is trialing a system where the vocabulary of decimals and the relationship to vulgar fractions is emphasized.
Firstly, the class revise how decimals and fractions may have the "same value" but a "different appearance". There is then a debate about the difference between 0.12 and 1.2 when expressed in tenths.
Group work follows and pupils take a number and break it into its component parts. Again the vocabulary of maths is emphasized as thousandths are introduced. Finally, pupils work in groups to add three decimal place numbers.
Some groups work on subtraction, which involves what they call "funny counting" - carrying across one hundredth to make ten thousandths to make a subtraction possible.
One of the pupils featured in this programme, Rachel Harris, sadly died some months after the programme was filmed. SchoolsWorld thanks Rachels parents for permission to continue showing the programmes, and sends deep sympathy to her family, friends and teachers.

eating vegetables in rome {nerone}
One of the most frequent questions I get - on my apps Eat Rome and Eat Florence, on this blog and over at Chowhound where I give free advice - is where can a vegetarian get a good meal? While many ask expecting an answer that's a short list of my favorite 'vegetarian' restaurants, I give a different kind of answer: Almost anywhere.
Italy is a pretty vegetarian-friendly kind of place. Remember, this is home to the Mediterranean diet, where veggies - and other non meat things like cheese and legumes - make up the bottom part of the pyramid. So go into almost any tratttoria or ristorante and you will find tons of vegetarian-friendly first and second course options.
The Italian vegetarian smorgasbord used to be even easier. Until recently most simple Italian restaurants in Rome used to have quite a broad selection of antipasti displayed on a long table as you entered. Marinated peppers, sauteed zucchini, stewed artichokes as well as seafood salads and small white orbs of mozzarella were displayed in platters as a multicolored mosaic that offered any vegetarian (or not) a meal in itself.
Sadly, and for reasons I assume are part economic and part health-inspector-rules-induced, these deliciously meatless buffets have been fading out. That said, there are still a few hold outs that continue to shine.
Nerone, an old fashioned nothing-special-kind-of-place, is one of my favorites. Yes, the pastas and second courses are great. And yes, the location - with outside tables looking right at the Colosseum - is beyond breathtaking. But what do I really go for? The antipasti.
My friend Monica was in town last week, and even though she is definitely not a vegetarian, like a lot of Americans when it came time for lunch she expressed a craving for "just a salad, or maybe a plate of vegetables." We headed straight for Nerone.
I'll say right up front, there isn't any grand innovation or creativity here. What there is are seasonal vegetables, cooked in a few different ways, served without fanfare. Grilled peppers simply dressed with oil and a bit of garlic; fried eggplant, breaded and drizzled with a light tomato sauce; pan fried zucchini rounds dressed with vinegar and mint; artichokes, stewed till they became like silk.
Nerone's buffet is not 'help yourself.' Waiters will either prepare a plate of 'misti' for you, or else make your way in the back room and point to what looks good. If you are feeling like a bit of protein mozzarella, tiny anchovies, seafood salad and frittata are there too.
A plate of veggies, a basket of crusty bread and a half liter of the house Frascati and you won't be asking me where to find the nearest 'vegetarian' restaurant any more, will you?

Nerone was the 1st restaurant I took my family to when I 1st went to Rome in 1997. I had started doing all my own research for our Italy trips and it was scarey in those days without Internet and EAT Rome! It was fun seeing this article and the street scene of the Coleseum caught my eye . I had scrolled right by the Nerone plate of carciofi, but when I saw the sign, it was like yesterday!!! Thanks for the smile this brought to my face!!!

I ate here in 2008 and had the vegetable misti to start, but I believe that I was able to plate it myself. It truly was delicious beginning.

Context: This is a run-through of the end of Act 3 Scene 2. Puck ,who opens the scene, is invisible. He is luring the lovers through the dark forest until he has drawn them all together. The other speakers in the scene are the lovers. All the other actors are invisible fairies changing themselves into the dangers and obstructions of the forest - rocks, bushes, briars, roots - all there to make the lovers' journey more difficult. The way the fairies manipulate the lovers underlines their influence on the human world and makes a connection with the use of puppets elsewhere in the production.

Within the European Union (EU), industry has been subject to regulation for many years. Several EU policies limit the adverse impacts of industrial activities on human health and the environment, and encourage the uptake of sustainable practices. In 2010, the EU agreed on the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED). This defines the obligations of large industrial facilities to avoid or minimise polluting emissions in the atmosphere, water and soil, as well as waste from industrial and agricultural installations. To this purpose, the operators of around 52 000 industrial installations are required to obtain an integrated permit from authorities in EU Member States.
The European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E-PRTR) is the most comprehensive register at European level regarding pollution from major industrial activities. It contains annual information on about 29 000 industrial facilities across Europe concerning the amounts of pollutant releases to air, water and land as well as off-site transfers of waste and of pollutants in waste water.
The EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) is a cornerstone of the EU's policy to combat climate change and the key tool for reducing industrial GHG emissions cost effectively. It covers some 11 000 power stations and industrial plants in 30 countries.
Sustainability criteria to help reduce the impacts of industry on the environment have also been introduced. Examples of such industry initiatives are the widespread adoption of environmental management practices through the European Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) and ISO14001, and voluntary corporate social responsibility initiatives like the chemical industry's Responsible Care initiative, the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI), and the International Council on Mining and Metals' Materials Stewardship policy.
The EEA's overall work on industry includes a range of data- and assessment-related activities covering industrial data: Large Combustion Plants (LCPs), the E-PRTR and EU ETS. During 2012, EEA work will extend to include coordinating data reporting by countries for ozone depleting substances and fluorinated gases.
Under the Europe 2020 strategy, two of the seven flagship initiatives are of special importance to industry: 'A resource efficient Europe' and 'An industrial policy for the globalisation era'. The first involves decoupling economic growth from the use of resources, the shift towards a low-carbon economy, renewable energy and energy efficiency. The second focuses on improving the business environment - notably for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), while supporting the development of a strong and sustainable industrial base. In this context, in October 2011 the Commission published a new policy on corporate social responsibility.
The Sustainable Consumption and Production and Sustainable Industrial Policy (SCP/SIP) Action Plan of 2008 also includes a series of proposals to improve the environmental impacts of products and to encourage the demand for more sustainable goods and production technologies. It also seeks to encourage EU industry to take advantage of opportunities to innovate, for example through sustainable product policy and eco-innovation.
In the coming years, the European Commission will focus on the better implementation of legislation, and particularly the IED. This will include the Commission's adoption of Best Available Technique (BAT) conclusions containing the emission limit values (ELVs) associated with BATs, the set-up of environmental inspection plans for related installations, and implementation of the ELVs in the directive, particularly those for Large Combustion Plants (LCPs), which are more stringent than those in the LCP Directive (2001/80/EC).
In 2012, the Commission will review the SCP/SIP Action Plan and consider possible extensions to the related Ecodesign Directive. The launch of an Eco-innovation Action Plan to ensure the commercialisation and deployment of key environmental technologies is foreseen in the context of the Europe 2020 Strategy.

]]>Given the challenges described in the 'Outlook 2020' chapter, the main areas for which there is potential for deploying mitigation policies are road transportation and buildings. These two sectors are identified as focus areas in the National CO2 reduction Action Plan ('Plan d'Action en vue de la réduction des émissions de CO2') and a variety of appropriate policies and measures have been implemented.
Road transportation
Buildings (residential, commercial, institutional)
Numerous policies, measures and incentives have been introduced to increase energy-efficiency in buildings and promote the use of renewable energy sources. These measures relate to old buildings (renovation) and new constructions that have to comply with increasingly stringent energy requirements.
To conclude, due to limited mitigation potential, the size and location of Luxembourg and anticipated economic and demographic growth that might offset some of the energy-efficiency gains, there is a risk that national policies and measures might be insufficient to bridge the gap between allocated emissions under the Kyoto Protocol and estimated emissions for the Kyoto period. In fact, recent calculations indicate that, even after taking into account the anticipated effects of implemented and additional policies and measures, GHG emissions will reach an annual average of 13.1 million tonnes of CO2e over the Kyoto commitment period (2008-2012). This amounts to some 3.7 million tonnes of CO2e per year above the annual amount of 9.48 million tonnes of CO2e Luxembourg is supposed to emit to respect its minus 28 % Kyoto reduction target. As a consequence, and since no reductions from carbon sinks are expected, Luxembourg now anticipates using project-based mechanisms and assigned amount units (AAUs) under international emissions trading for between 18 and 20 million tonnes of CO2e during the commitment period. The Kyoto Protocol's Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is expected to cover about half of the emission reductions and Joint Implementation (JI) and International Emissions Trading (IET) the remaining half.
To meet the EU 'Climate and Energy Package' objective for 2020 assigned by the Commission – i.e. (i) to reduce GHG emissions by 20 % to below their 2005 level for sectors outside EU ETS; (ii) to achieve an 11 % share of renewable energy from total energy consumption by 2020; and (iii) to achieve a 10 % share of biofuels from total energy consumption for the transport sector by 2020 – Luxembourg will have to reinforce and define new policies and measures. Discussions are ongoing with a view to revising the national Action Plan for CO2 reduction as part of the wider 'Environment-Climate Partnership' put into place by the current Government and presented in one of our national and regional stories. In addition, a Renewable Energy Action Plan was adopted in July 2010 which foresees Luxembourg reaching its renewable energy objectives for energy consumption in the transport sector through a mix of biofuels, the promotion of electric vehicles and production from renewable energy sources.
In order to finance the purchase of tonnes of CO2 within the framework of project-based mechanisms and international emissions trading, Luxembourg set up the 'Kyoto Fund' in 2004. Sources of revenue are annual budgetary grants, 40 % of the CO2-based vehicle tax and 100 % of the 'Kyoto-cent'. Budgetary grants represents just over 10 % of the proceeds in the Fund, vehicle tax just under 30 % and the 'Kyoto-cent' some 60 %.
According to Decision 280/2004/EC and the UNFCCC requirements the latest official GHG inventory covers the period 1990-2008: see submission 2010v2.1. Nevertheless, Luxembourg has produced for the European Commission and the EEA provisional 2009 estimates during the summer of 2010. These estimates are used as reference in the text.
CO2e stands for CO2 equivalents, i.e. other GHG gases are converted into CO2 according to their 100-year global warming potential (GWP).
LULUCF stands for 'Land Use, Land Use Change & Forestry'. This covers carbon sinks (or sources) due to land use and changes made to it, whether through human activities (deforestation, reforestation, renaturation, conversion to agricultural land or settlements) or due to natural causes (fires, storms). In the rest of the text, unless indicated, GHG total emissions are quoted excluding emissions from LULUCF activities.
According to IPCC rules the related emissions were counted in GHG balances for exporting countries, not in Luxembourg's own balance.
Directive 2003/87/EC determines which installations are part of the EU Emission Trading System (ETS) during the period 2008-2012. In Luxembourg, 14 installations participates to the ETS, for an allocated annual amount of 2.49 million tonnes of CO2e. Since emissions of these installations are 'regulated' by the ETS, national policies and measures to mitigate GHG emissions should ideally target emissions which are not covered by the ETS. The non-ETS sectors are essentially small industries, agriculture, waste management and, especially in Luxembourg, buildings and road transportation.
First estimates for 2009 show that emissions decreased by 22.4 % for the steel industry and by 8.5 % for the other manufacturing industries. Road transportation related emissions lost 6% between 2008 and 2009.
According to IPCC rules the related emissions were counted in GHG balances for exporting countries, not in Luxembourg's own balance.
Other emissions are also considered: for instance, diesel vehicles – which emit less CO2 than petrol vehicles – must have a particle filter to qualify for a lower tax rate.

Luxembourg's National Inventory Report 1990-2008 – Section 2.1: click here.
Projected GHG Emissions in Luxembourg and Assessment of Policies and Measures: click here.]]>Estimating GHG emissions for the coming year is a difficult exercise for Luxembourg. On the one hand, the size of the country implies that emissions will be affected by the opening, closing or a change in production processes at a single plant. On the other hand, the significance of 'road fuel sales to non residents' in the total emissions places a great deal of uncertainty on the estimates. This element depends on many factors such as price differentials, toll charges for motorways, economic cycles, the development of alternatives to road freight, and so on. Nevertheless, Luxembourg will have to take more action to comply with the EU 'Climate and Energy Package' objective assigned to it by the Commission for 2020 − i.e. a 20 % reduction in the non-ETS sectors compared to 2005.
It will require significant effort on Luxembourg's part to comply with both its Kyoto commitment and the 'Climate and Energy Package' objective. Yet Luxembourg faces a critical challenge since it only has limited emission reduction potential at national level. In fact, having moved from blast to electric arc furnaces in the steel sector during the 1990s, Luxembourg has already exhausted the main technical potential for GHG emissions reduction. Other industrial activities offer limited mitigation potential and those installations emitting the most are already part of the current EU ETS scheme and will probably be included in the post-Kyoto EU ETS scheme.
The picture is similar for energy production which has no mitigation potential. Up to the end of the last century, Luxembourg did not have any significant fossil-fuel plants and most of its electricity needs were met by imports [Note 6]. Consequently, any investment in power plants does not replace electricity production from existing inefficient fossil-fuel plants. In other words, investing in its own electricity production capacities does not offer any mitigation potential for Luxembourg.
Thus, any energy-efficient, fossil-fuel-based electricity generating plant that Luxembourg might decide to construct would automatically lead to an increase in its GHG emissions. This is illustrated by the increase in emissions in the public electricity and heat production sector in recent years, since the start-up of highly-efficient combined heat-power (CHP) installations and the ultra-modern gas and steam power station mentioned in the 'State and Impacts' chapter. The result is approximately 1.2 million tonnes of CO2e added to Luxembourg's GHG balance − i.e. around 9-10 % of the total emissions. Consequently, the new Government, which took office during the summer of 2009, will primarily promote production units based on renewable energy sources, with a special focus on biomass, wood and solar energy. This will be achieved by adopting new instruments and reinforcing existing ones, such as special tariffs for electricity produced from renewable sources. However, it is doubtful whether these measures will result in further GHG reductions since electricity generation from renewable energy sources will not substitute electricity generation from recently-constructed and highly-efficient national plants.

Halloween Countdown: Snappy the Halloween Crocodile
Talk about getting into the spirit! Snappy, in a territorial moment, attacked the water filter in his enclosure at the reptile park. Soon after, he turned orange, which has thus far been attributed to to algae or tannins in the water.
I think Snappy knew exactly what he was doing.

Of course!! What better way to celebrate the season than to.. turn yourself orange! Now that, is dedication. Way to go Snappy!
Sounds delicious!

OLBG Top BlogsInteresting Jockey & Trainer Stats For The Jumps Part 2by The Executioner on 05 Dec at 17:33 Further to my previous piece on certain jockey and trainer statistics I have delved deeper in to some other incidents which will hopefully be of benefit to members and produce profitable days in the future. They make interesting reading and these combinations should not be dismissed lightly when they occur. I'm not somebody that totally relies on statistics to back up my punting ; I've always considered myself a value seeker with a strong leaning towards form. Value is everything and I can't stress enough that if you like the chance of a particular selection and the price is considered too low then simply leave it alone ; in the long run that approach should serve you well. I do however like it when the stats back up my opinion and I've come across a few profitable situations recently when assessing.. Betting preview and analysis for this weekend's Premier League games: Weekend 7th-9th Decemberby TheWeem on 06 Dec at 21:10 1) Missing Invisible man making visible change Michael Carrick is often largely ignored for his performances in the middle of machester United's midfield but without him in the team united look short on options, and the man often dubbed the "invisible man" by United fans has left a big hole in the United midfield. Without Carrick in the team have drawn at Cardiff, drawn at Tottenham and lost at home to Everton, something which can not be purely coincidental. Since Carrick has been missing there has been three different midfield partnerships for United: Giggs+Fellaini, Cleverley + Jones and Cleverley+Fellaini, so it appears that David Moyes probably doesn't know his best midfield combination, and it will be interesting to see what side he selects for this weekend's game at Old Trafford. United haven't looked the dominant force of old this season, and.. Can Twitter help our betting in the specials markets?by drobgod on 03 Dec at 09:57 I have no idea whether the amount of Twitter followers a celebrity has could be a useful guide for us when betting on programmes such as I'm A Celebrity, X-Factor and Strictly Come Dancing, but after having two winning bets at 16/1 and 5/2 in the last two days, purely down to those statistics, it's certainly something I wanted to look at in more detail. Before the first elimination from I'm A Celebrity I compiled a list of how many followers each participant had on Twitter (see below) and because of the fact that several of the contestants were immune from the first vote-off it meant that Annabel Giles was some 40,000 behind her nearest rival, Alfonso, in the twitter followers stakes. I backed Annabel on this basis to be evicted first and she duly obliged after being in the bottom.. UK Championship Round-up: Positives and Negativesby TeddyT on 09 Dec at 17:08 UK Championship Round Up Who Did Not Impress? Mark Selby In some ways Selby did remarkably well to make the final of the UK Championship considering he didn't play well for most of the week. That may seem an unlikely theory given that he won six matches and made a 147 break but Selby himself admitted as much after losing to Neil Robertson. Selby did quite well with the draw in York, playing three low ranked players and then meeting little resistance from Graeme Dott and Ricky Walden. Barry Hawkins should really have knocked the reigning UK champ out in the quarter-final but Selby managed to win the last three frames of that match to pinch a victory. Selby's victory probably had as much to do with how few matches Hawkins' has won recently as it did Selby's resilience. In my opinion Selby's confidence is..

Questions & answers about compositional guidelines
Q. What is the purpose of the Compositional Guideline?
Compositional Guidelines are intended to provide clarity to the specific form or type of substances that the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) approves for use in listed medicines, as either an active substance or an excipient, where there is no standard in the British Pharmacopoeia (BP) or other acceptable monographs.
Compositional Guidelines link formal descriptions and specifications of substances, approved for use in listed medicines, with regulatory (Australian Approved) names.
TGA intends compositional guidelines to assist sponsors and stakeholders in the following ways:
- To assist sponsors and stakeholders to understand the specific nature of the substance(s) which has been approved for use by the TGA, rather than requiring correct definitions to be determined, on an ad hoc basis, from the Australian Approved Name.
Experience has shown that often the nomenclature of a substance may be insufficient information to define, unambiguously, what form of the substance has been approved by the TGA for use in listed medicines. - To minimise the risk associated with the substance by establishing specifications for parameters identified as influencing the safety of the substance.
- To assist sponsors to assess whether material they intend for use in a listed medicine conforms to TGA's definition and requirements for that substance
Q. When do (draft) Compositional Guidelines apply?
As new complementary medicinal substances are approved for use, the TGA will advertise the associated draft Compositional Guideline(s).
TGA anticipates substances will conform to the draft Guideline(s) from the time of substance approval. Compositional Guidelines will be in draft form for six weeks after the gazettal date of the substance. During that time TGA will invite stakeholder comment.
After consideration of comments, a final form of the Compositional Guideline(s) will be prepared.
Q. What sources of information are there to help develop Compositional Guidelines?
There are often no current pharmacopoeial references covering complementary medicinal substances. To fill this gap, the TGA requires that draft Compositional Guidelines be proposed by the sponsor as part of the application process. The Guidelines allow the sponsor to define the substance(s) to which the data refers, rather than relying on an identity associated with a name only. The Compositional Guidelines form part of the application package that is evaluated by the Office of Complementary Medicines. It is then considered by the Complementary Medicines Evaluation Committee (CMEC) when that committee reviews the eligibility of substances for use in listed products.
All applications for evaluations of new complementary medicine substances must include a characterisation of the substance proposed for medicinal use. If the substance is already defined in a raw material monograph of the British Pharmacopoeia (BP), the substance must meet those requirements. If the proposed new substance is included in a pharmacopoeial monograph other than the BP, for example the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP), Commission E Monographs, European Pharmacopoeia (EP) or Peoples Republic of China Pharmacopoeia (PRCP), the TGA will expect that monograph to apply to the proposed substance, unless otherwise justified in the application.
It is important to note that recommendations made by CMEC regarding the eligibility for use of a substance in listed medicines, relate to the substance described in the relevant compositional guideline.
Q. What happens if my substance does not meet the Compositional Guideline?
Where a sponsor wishes to include a substance in listed medicines that does not meet the Guidelines, a request may be made to justify the safety of that specific material and/or the safety of any listed medicines containing that material. Where a substance(s) may have been approved in those situations and later is found to be profoundly and unjustifiably different from the relevant Compositional Guideline(s), the sponsor may be requested to no longer use that material.
Q. Where do I find new (draft) Compositional Guidelines?
As new complementary medicinal substances are approved for use in listed products (through publication in the Commonwealth Gazette), Draft compositional guidelines for approved substances will be available on this Internet site and through industry organisations.
Compositional Guidelines that have been finalised will also be available on this site and through industry organisations.
What is the process for developing a Compositional Guideline?
STEP 1 - Application
As part of the Application, a sponsor proposes a compositional guideline. It must be supported by details of any references or analytical method used. It should also be consistent with the types and ranges of tests in pharmacopoeias and include any relevant general pharmacopoeial requirements.
STEP 2 - Evaluation
During the evaluation of the new substance, the TGA will consider the guideline to determine whether it is sufficiently detailed and appropriate for the substance being considered.
The Sponsor is requested to address any deficiencies in the draft compositional guideline.
Once TGA is satisfied, the draft compositional guideline is included in the Evaluation Report.
STEP 3 - Consultation
Once the Evaluation Report is considered by CMEC, TGA consults the sponsor about the draft compositional guideline if the CMEC consideration results in any changes to the compositional guideline. The sponsor is advised that the 'draft' compositional guideline is to be circulated for public consultation for six weeks. A 'draft for comment' of the compositional guideline is included on this website.
Comments received during consultation are considered and assessed and if any amendments are justified, then the sponsor is informed.
STEP 4 - Completion
After gazettal of approval to use the substance and after the consultation phase has been completed, the compositional guideline is included on the website and the word 'draft' is removed.

Stage RSS Feeds
Name:MuellerInstitution:Most large cities in the usa historically had morning and afternoon newspapers. As the media evolved and news outlets increased concise of near over-saturation, most afternoon newspapers were banned. Morning newspapers have ended up gradually losing circulation, according to reports advanced by the papers themselves. Commonly, news content should contain the "Five Ws" (that, what, when, where, why, and also how) of an event. There should be no questions remaining. Newspapers normally place hard news stories relating to the first pages, so the most crucial information is at the start. Busy readers can read as little or even though they desire. Local stations and networks using a set format must take news stories and destroy them down into the main aspects due to time period constraints. Cable news channels such as BBC News, Fox News, MSNBC, and CNN, are able to take advantage of a story, sacrificing other, decidedly less important stories, and giving the maximum amount of detail about breaking news as you possibly can.Position:Location:Field of Science:ArchitectureWebsite / Blog:www.bgm.me/r/1646720Online Status: |

So now you are ready to run the migration prep tool
When the Windows SBS 2011 Standard installation wizard starts, click Install the Migration Preparation Tool. Choose the most recent version of the tool to install.
You need Powershell and the MS baseline config analyzer to install first.
I ran through this recently and found that the migration wizard on SBS 2003 from the sbs 2011 RTM CD will fail due to the fact that powershell is set to restricted mode and hence the scripts will fail.
I worked with MS on this and found the solution:
PS C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator> Get-ExecutionPolicy
PS C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator> Set-ExecutionPolicy remotesigned
Also they explained you will need 2-7 GBs of space on the C: drive of 2003 server to avoid issues.
Finally, for the answer file they recommend:
While creating the answer file, please make sure that you do the following things:
1. Uncheck - Get Installation Updates: (Reason: we can always update the server once the installation is done)
2. Uncheck - Run Unattended: If unchecked, the setup fields will be pre-populated but you must click Next during setup.
3. Time Zone: Please select the correct Time Zone (This is very critical in AD Replication)
4. Also make sure that the time on the destination server should be synchronized with the source server.
Hope this helps someone else going through this process.
Did you possibly not close the tool but kept it open while you downloaded the powershell update? As the tool does autoset the script level.
It is possible that was the issue, although memory does not server me to recall well enough if I had closed the tool or not.
However I did run the migration tool from scratch afterwards (even after a reboot) and it didn't correct the issue.
SBS 2003 or SBS 2008? I did this on SBS 2003 and did not need to do this change?
SBS 2003. I believe it doesn't happen every time or I would have expected you to have this issue too. Just wanted to pass the info on in case anyone else encounters it.
On SBS 2003.
When running the tool the scan fails. The SourceTool.log file shows the following:

I'm getting the same error; did you figure this one out?
Can you uninstall the Powershell and reinstall it?
I've seen some folks say the powershell install didn't take right.

The Baby Boomer Bust
Boomers better keep on working
Having arrived after the Greatest Generation and the Silent Generation, the baby boomer generation had two tough acts to follow. These days, it's really tough.
The Associated Press is running a story this week introducing readers to a handful of baby boomers now in their sixties who are realizing that retirement has been indefinitely postponed. The new "work till you drop" ethic is a tough nut to swallow for people who have been on the work force for over four decades and lived well enough in the past to support their own parents' retirement.
There's a unique story for each of the nation's 78 million boomers, and a mess of common factors tarnishing their golden years. Technology and automation have left fewer opportunities, and scores of remaining jobs have been shipped overseas. Employed boomers are forever at risk of being undercut by younger, less experienced candidates willing to accept less pay (often, ironically, because they live with their baby boomer parents), and in the soured economy pensions have been lost and benefits cut. Nest eggs have been scrambled by a stock market in crisis. There's no parachute for most baby boomers, let alone a golden one.
Here's hoping things ease up for Generation X, hot on the heels of baby boomers, and for the young Gen Y and Echo Boomers to follow. They said ten years ago that Gen Xers would be the first generation in America not to enjoy a higher standard of living than their parents. If current trends continue at pace, the children of baby boomers could be working till they're 85.
Sometimes called the "pig in the python" generation, adult boomers changed the shape of each decade they passed through. They reveled in the cultural revolution of the 1960s, the indulgences of the '70s and '80s, and the boon times of the '90s. It's an unforeseen and unwelcome downshift late in life, but the best economic times for baby boomers appear to be in their rear view.
