How to Select
LED technology is the most efficient alternative to conventional lighting. LED fixtures can help you save up to 90% of energy, compared to fluorescent or incandescent lamps. With various sizes and designs of LED fixtures they become great for installing in under cabinet locations. This guide will help you select the perfect option to fit your needs.
The first thing to consider when selecting LED under cabinet lighting is the type of the fixture. Among all of the options that exist today, push lights are the most affordable. Despite their low price, they offer the same lighting features as other types do. If you are looking for more complex and stylish fixtures, there are plenty of options to select from.
The next factor that requires your attention is the amount of light that you need your future under cabinet lighting to offer. Since kitchen counters and other common locations where such lights are usually installed don't require much light, LED lamps become the best option for them.
The design of LED under cabinet lighting is something to consider as well. You can select between LED pucks or linear bulbs. Both styles provide the amount of light that is sufficient to illuminate the under cabinet surface. There's also an option to install LED ropes that can provide great lighting features for tightest under cabinet locations.
Color temperature of the light or as it is also called, ССЕ rating, is other factor to consider before selecting a LED lighting fixture for your kitchen. By choosing the lamps with various color of light you are able to create a lighting ambiance of your dreams. The LED lights can provide warm white color as well as the cool white options. To know the color of your future LED lighting fixture, look for the Kelvin ratio in its description. The higher such ratio is the cooler is the white color that the fixture provides. If you have wooden furniture in the kitchen, LED lighting with warmer color would be the perfect choice for it. For glass or steel shelves and cabinets select the fixtures with cooler light color.
Finally, the next thing to do when selecting LED under cabinet lights is determining your budget. In order to save money you need to know how much energy every fixture will use. Calculating the operating cost of your lighting devices is pretty easy, since such information is usually indicated on their package or in the item's description. It is not a secret however, that LED technology is way more efficient and money-saving than any other lighting option.

Debussy: Songs, Vol. 2
Studio Master: CDA67883 Studio Master FLAC & ALAC downloads available
No 1: La flûte de Pan Pour le jour des Hyacinthies
No 2: La chevelure Il m'a dit: «Cette nuit, j'ai rêvé.»
No 3: Le tombeau des naïades Le long du bois couvert de givre
Debussy must surely have been in on the joke. But his settings contain no hint of irony, conjuring up as they do the never-never dreamworld that was Ancient Greece in the French culture of the time—which could be summed up as 'all flutes and flesh'. However, he certainly was doubtful about the poems' propriety. A friend recorded that 'he only just brought himself to excuse them for their grace and the frankness of their language … and even then, not all of them'. In these songs, too, Debussy abandoned the setting of strict verse for prose, giving a regular framework to the piano, over which the voice floats freely.
The writer Romain Rolland cited these songs as the most perfect examples he knew of French word-setting. As in Pelléas et Mélisande, by and large this is syllabic and follows the contours of spoken French, using small intervals, so that in the first song the falling major third in the phrase 'comme le miel', and even more the falling fourths on 'genoux' and 'tremblante', assume considerable importance. Antiquity is evoked by the use of modal scales, mostly in the Lydian mode with the fourth note of the scale sharpened. In the second song the dichotomy is more striking still between the contained, almost hesitant vocal line and the increasingly passionate piano part until, on the crucial word 'bouche', the singer is forced into a dramatic octave descent. The temperature of the final song is at the opposite extreme from that of the Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune. All here is cold and ice, culminating in the line 'Depuis trente ans il n'a pas fait un hiver aussi terrible', to which the composer lends a tone of unforgettable menace. As for the final chord, is this for our comfort? Like all the Symbolists, Debussy was not into giving answers.

Clean Air, Healthy Families
New carbon pollution standards will help protect Coloradans' health, so we're urging the EPA to move forward with commonsense standards to help protect our health—and our environment.
Carbon pollution threatens our health
Carbon pollution spewing from power plants threatens Coloradans' health. Doctors, nurses and scientists warn that it fuels global warming, which triggers poor air quality that makes it harder for children to breathe and contributes to thousands of asthma attacks, heart attacks and other fatal diseases.
Studies show that more than 300,000 Colorado adults and 98,000 children already suffer from asthma. Nationwide, smog pollution alone leads to roughly 4,700 premature deaths and 19,000 emergency room visits. Allowing power plants to continue emitting unlimited amounts of carbon pollution will mean more global warming and dirtier air for Coloradans.
Scientists also warn that global warming is expected to lead to more devastating floods, deadly heat waves and many other threats.
Coal-fired power plants need to be cleaned up
Coal-fired power plants are the largests single source of carbon pollution, yet they currently lack any federal limts on their emissions. And the nation's biggest utilities, which have been allowed for decades to spew unlimited amounts of carbon pollution into our air, all while taking in enormous government subsidies, are sure to fight for more of the same. They'll join with the coal companies and spend millions on lobbying and advertising to try and get off the hook for cutting carbon pollution from their dirty power plants.
Coal-fired power plants like the Valmont plant near Boulder are a big part of the problem.
With your help, we can make history
Enough is enough, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency agrees. Despite powerful industry naysayers, the EPA is developing the first-ever carbon pollution standards for new power plants.
Now comes the hard part—getting these standards across the finish line and overcoming the corporate polluters' opposition. So we're working closely with our allies in the public health community, working to rally tens of thousands of activists to stand up for public health and our environment.
It won't be easy, but if enough of us speak out, we can drown out the coal industry lobbyists and make sure EPA is allowed to do its job and protect public health.
Join our campaign, and call on EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy to set — and enforce — these strong, sensible standards.
New limits on carbon pollution from power plants will help protect public health and fight global warming.
Key Facts
- In Colorado, more than 300,000 adults and 98,000 children suffer from asthma.
- Under the Clean Air, Clean Jobs Plan that Environment Colorado helped pass, five units of coal-fired power will shut down or convert to cleaner energy sources.
- This move will keep 70,000 pounds of toxic emissions out of the air.
- Colorado is a leader in a nationwide movement to cut air pollution. Together with our allies, Environment Colorado helped deliver more than 800,000 comments to the EPA in support of a strong mercury standard. EPA received roughly 907,000 comments—more than any other EPA standard in history—and the vast majority of the comments were in support.
- On December 21st, 2011, the Obama administration responded by announcing the first-ever nationwide standards for mercury pollution from power plants—a move that will cut mercury emissions 90% nationwide.

Fitness Gear 16 Square Foot Floor Guard - 1/2" Thick 17 17
Floor Guard Tiles While the concept is good, the quality of these tiles is not suitable for a good fitness room. They're light weight and would likely deteriorate in a short time. If you're in the market for rubber gym flooring, I'd go with a roll of something heavier duty. I took these tiles back to the store for a refund the next day and will look for better quality on-line. June 25, 2013
Garbage! I bought this to place under a small home gym, inside my home, on a carpeted floor. I placed the rough side down to keep it from sliding. The pieces fit together poorly and it slides on the carpet, thus causing the entire weight machine to move. The worst part is the fact that all of the edges curl up causing me to trip on them. Maybe the 3/4 inch thick pads (for double the cost) would have worked better. May 25, 2013
Good enough Good: Definitely served its purpose. Good gym floor smell. Seems to protect from weights falling if they fall flat. Shipped fast and light weight. Bad: Did not always fit together on edges and had to mix and match pieces and edges. Easily cut by falling objects. Have to put plastic on bare floor so the rubber/adhesive does not bind to concrete. Hard to cut if needed for edging. December 27, 2012
Does the Job Many reviews are stating 'it slides' or 'it breaks apart'...yeah, it's pretty evident from looking at the material and package that this isn't made to be some sort of cure-all for every athletic need you could imagine. What it does is provide protection for your floors...and that's really about it and it does that job well. The mats I use have almost no wear and tear after a year of 350+ deadlifts. They can absorb a dropped 45 easily and are fairly stable. My wood floors beneath them do not have a single scratch. However, they are squishy enough to NOT exercise directly on if you are a power lifter or getting into power lifting. For those types of lifts you probably would want something closer to a yoga mat which is thinner and has less 'squishy-ness' to it. As I only engage in limited cardio I cannot attest to its value but would imagine it to have a little too much 'give' to want to be jumping up and down on...and yeah, it's going to slid unless it's glued to the floor. November 29, 2012
Outdoor Use I bought this product to sit on the ground beneath my pop up deer blind. It is durable, and quiet. The soft foam provides nice resistance for anything I drop like a flashlight. Its very quiet to walk / move around on. They're easy to break down and fit inside the carrying case for the pop up blind so moving from place to place is no problem. They're also nice for oil changes. October 13, 2012
It didn't fit what we needed it for. It was used on the floor under me when doing push-ups. It kept me from being directly against the hard floor. They kept on separating, breaking apart the floor mat. September 9, 2012
Perfect for P90X!!! I used four of these kits to build an 8'x 8' sq to do my P90X and they are exactly what I needed. The edge pieces all have detachable trim so you can mix and match and form an entire unit. I used them on carpet in my living room and noticed immediately how much better my impact moves were reduced on my feet. August 24, 2012
floorguard wellfitting, easy to change sizes without cutting, good protection and insulation on floor. July 11, 2012
worthless junk It is cheap foam. Horrible junk very angry I spent money on something I could make out of cardboard. June 24, 2012
Good but not Great I made and 8" x 8" workout mat to support free weights and an ab machine. The pads make a good resiliant workout surface however they do not all fit together perfectly. The interlocking tabs between some of the panels are not cut exactly the same so they leave some small gaps between sections or push some sections together so they don't sit completely flat on the floor. Two of the sixteen sections I purchased are a slightly different thickness making a slightly uneven surface. I still like the product but think it could fit better considering the price.

A chance to say goodbye and highlight a few last stories/products/companies worth a closer look.
Dell's new laptop for schools is slick. But what's much more interesting is how it envisions it being used to support the latest generation of student assessments.
You've heard about InBloom. Now the Ed-Fi Alliance is bringing even more big data sensibility to states and districts.
Tableau Software recently announced that it would begin giving away its Tableau Desktop analytics software. Having spent some time with the tool, I can say that this could mark a turning point in the way students think about data.
We can't even import enough programmers to meet the demand, and the shortage is only going to get worse, no thanks to our out-of-touch educational priorities in this country.
A lengthy effort to examine the state of education in American schools released their final report today. Apparently, we need equity in our schools.
It's Valentine's Day. It's LEGO World. And I'm in love with the new Mindstorms EV3.
Despite the recent explosion in ed tech applications and services, adoption and use of data remains a significant challenge. InBloom's new platform just may change that.
Dell announced a new budget configuration for its Latitude 10 tablet at CES this week, along with the Dell Wyse Project Ophelia zero client, giving two very different options for improving student computing access.
Sharewith911 may just be the best solution I've seen for improving school safety. And it's incredibly simple, leveraging ubiquitous classroom and consumer technology.

True, the melting point of Spectra is lower than tubular webbing, but if the rope remains stationary (i.e, you rap slowly and carefully), the risk is probably (I said PROBABLY) not too great. I have heard of people top-roping off this set-up (doing so ignorantly after someone else had rappelled), and cutting through. Of course, I'd never use such a sling again after pulling the rope through it! But really, we're generally talking about a situation that would only likely occur when bailing off a long alpine route, right?

Our history is rich with countless brand milestones and innovative launches.
How it all began.
In 1904, François Coty, at the age of 29, founded the fragrance company that would bear his name in Paris. He was determined to revolutionize a fragrance industry that had seen little change during the 19th century. Coty set about reinventing the perfumer's fragrance palette.
He developed Perfume City in 1909, a residential villa that was transformed into a grand industrial complex. Over time, Perfume City grew, and by 1920 Coty owned and controlled all aspects of his fragrance production, including flower fields, packaging factories, print shops and delivery vehicles.
Coty understood that to succeed on a larger scale, he needed to reach a wider audience.
His strategy was simple: offer a product of rich appearance that was affordable at a variety of price points. Coty commissioned artists and manufacturers, such as René Lalique and the Glassworks of Baccarat to design affordable beauty products imbued with luxurious quality never previously available to the masses. The strategy worked and perfume quickly became an international mass-market luxury product almost instantly.
In 1912, he opened subsidiaries in New York and London, an important move for the company.
At the end of World War I, soldiers returned home with gifts of French perfume for their loved ones. This led to a demand for Coty products in the U.S. During the 1920s, Coty continued to diversify and secured a substantial hold on the Italian, Swiss, German, Spanish and South American markets.
By 1925, an estimated 36 million women in Europe and the Americas used his products.
François Coty continued to direct this empire until his death in 1934. "One thing eluded me," he confessed in the same year. "I never managed to capture the smell of honeysuckle."
After more than one hundred years in the business, Coty continues to draw on the creative, entrepreneurial and visionary legacy of its founder to this day.
Coty announced the pricing of its initial public offering of 57,142,857 shares of its Class A common stock at a price of $17.50 per share. Coty's stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "COTY" on June 13, 2013.
Michele Scannavini is named Chief Executive Officer of Coty Inc., taking over from Bernd Beetz, who remains on the company's board as non-executive director. Jean Mortier is named as president of the company's Prestige business.
In 2012, Coty introduces ck one color cosmetics. After 18 years of success in fragrance, color is the natural next step for ck one. With innovative, intuitive products, ck one color is a unique approach to modern beauty.
In 2012, Coty brings a new Cavalli launch to the marketplace: Roberto Cavalli. It is an exuberant and sunny fragrance whose top notes, lit by pink peppers, exude a genuine strength of character.
Bart Becht is named Coty's non-executive chairman, taking over from Peter Harf, who remains on the company's board.
Consumer Goods Technology Group names Coty the most innovative company of the year.
Coty helps raise a record-breaking $2.5 million at the fifth annual DKMS Gala.
Coty forms a partnership with Heidi Klum to develop and market her new signature fragrance, Heidi Klum Shine. The company also signs Madonna in 2011.
"Twilight" star Kristen Stewart is named the face of the new Balenciaga fragrance.
Coty announces four major acquisitions: Dr. Scheller Cosmetics, philosophy, OPI and TJoy, expanding Coty's presence in the skin care and color cosmetics categories, demonstrating Coty's commitment to truly becoming a global beauty company.
Roberto Cavalli and Lady Gaga sign with the company.
Coty's global color brand Astor forms a creative alliance with supermodel Heidi Klum.
In 2009, Renato Semerari joins to head up Coty Beauty, while Sergio Pedreiro is named CFO. Coty signs an agreement with Bottega Veneta to launch their debut fragrance. Beyoncé and Guess? join our family to develop and market fragrance lines.
In 2008, Harvard Business School publishes a case study spotlighting the company's transformation under CEO Bernd Beetz.
Also in 2008, Coty goes into business with Balenciaga to develop and distribute fragrance lines to renew the Balenciaga brand in keeping with its fragrance heritage and also partners with lifestyle brand Playboy.
In 2007, Coty purchases Del Laboratories and with it Sally Hansen. Coty Beauty is also created combining portfolio powerhouses of Americas, Europe and Asia. Supermodel and fashion icon Kate Moss joins Coty to create a line of signature fragrances.
In 2006, Coty Prestige is created, uniting the Lancaster Group with the former UCI. Coty partners with DKMS, the world's largest non-profit bone marrow donor center and KOSE Corporation to manufacture and distribute Rimmel in Japan.
In 2005, Coty acquires the Calvin Klein, Vera Wang, Chloé and Cerruti brands, propelling the company to the number one fragrance position in the world.
In 2004, Coty celebrates 100 years of beauty.
In 2003, Coty acquires designer brand Marc Jacobs.
In 2002, Coty signs Jennifer Lopez and launches her first fragrance Glow by JLo, which becomes one of the most successful fragrance success stories of all time.
In 2001, Coty hires Bernd Beetz as CEO. Michele Scannavini joins Coty Prestige in 2002.
In 1996, further growth fuels Coty's expansion when Coty acquires UK make-up brand, Rimmel.
In 1994, Coty acquires Quintessence Inc., a leading manufacturer of mid-priced fragrances including Jovan and Aspen.
1993 saw another Coty first: oxygen molecules are captured and imbedded into the Lancaster Skin Therapy product. Vanilla Fields is launched, and quickly became a top-selling fragrance brand, starting a trend for vanilla fragrances.
In 1992, Coty Inc. is acquired by German chemicals manufacturer Joh. A. Benckiser GmbH.
In 1986, Coty launches Lady Stetson, a top 10 women's fragrance in the U.S. The iconic Davidoff Cool Water brand launches in the same year, rapidly becoming an instant and indelible worldwide bestseller.
In 1981, Coty launches Stetson, a fragrance that would become the number one mass-market men's fragrance in the United States.
In 1971, Coty's manufacturing facility in Sanford, North Carolina, opens its doors.
In 1963, Coty Inc. and Coty International were acquired by Pfizer Inc. of New York. Fragrances, lipsticks and powders continue to be Coty's bestsellers. The company also becomes the third largest fragrance company in the United States.
In 1955, Coty Germany forms and Coty 24 launches, allowing women to continue their love affair with leading a glamorous lifestyle. Using a long-lasting lipstick formula pioneered by Coty, the popularity of the range significantly increases.
In the 1940's, Coty becomes a worldwide leader in fragrance manufacturing. The Coty American Fashion Critics' Awards were established in New York to help the fledgling American fashion industry gain recognition and prominence.
François Coty dies in 1934, and the family stays in control of the company, remaining on the board of directors until the 1960's.
By 1925, an estimated 36 million women buy Coty face powders worldwide.
In 1922, Coty launches Paris, which quickly becomes a bestseller in Britain and America. Coty Inc. is established in New York City with its headquarters at 714 Fifth Avenue, now home to the famous department store Henri Bendel.
1917 sees the development of Coty's perfume masterpiece, Chypre, a fragrance that would soon lend its name to an entire fragrance family.
In 1914, Coty launches its first cosmetic product, Air-Spun powder. In the same year, Coty launches its signature body powder, the first to be scented with the aroma of an existing perfume.
In 1912, François Coty begins the decade with the launch of L'Or, a floral fragrance designed to blend with the scent of blond tobacco. The following year, the Ballet Russes dazzles Paris - so does one of François Coty's first single perfumes, Iris.
By 1910, François Coty was already recognized as the number one perfumer in the world.
In 1908, François Coty commissions French jeweler Lalique, to also design fragrance bottles, a move that changed the fragrance industry forever. François Coty opens an exclusive shop at 23 Place Vendôme in Paris.
In 1904, François Spoturno adopts the name Coty and launches his first fragrance, La Rose Jacqueminot in a bottle designed by Baccarat. Developing two masterpiece fragrances shortly after: L'Origan and Ambre Antique.

An excellent set collecting work from throughout the career of Cedric Im Brooks, spanning a wide assortment of styles, but all with a deep spiritual approach that Brooks gathered from time spent in his youth in Philadelphia, where he fell under the influence of Sun Ra, almost joining the Arkestra before returning home to Jamaica. The set jumps from heavy, dark roots and Nyabhingi influenced reggae, including some nice dubbed out versions, to Jamaican jazz sides like his take on Horace Silver's classic "Song For My Father", to some tightly snapping disco influenced grooves and bouncing afrobeat rhythms that would make Fela proud! 19 tracks in all, including "Free Up Black Man", "Satta Massa Gana", "Jah Light It Right", "Lambs Bread Collie", "Salt Lane rock", "Rasta Lead On Version", "Sly Mongoose", "Africa", "Collie Version", "Rebirth" and "Sabebe". © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

I had a similar problem.
I am a new Blag user.....with a bit of a Linux background. I've used Xandros 3.0 for the last two and a half years, so i am a bit familiar with using some of the package managers (apt-get and synaptic)
I bought a NVidia 5500 PCI card, and I was trying to install newer drivers.
I went thru all of the trouble of getting all of the 2.6.18-1 drivers that I needed....but BLAG kept telling me that 'init 3' was an invalid command for shutting down X windows....
I solved this little problem by using nano to edit my xorg.conf to driver="" instead of driver="nv"
Then I rebooted the computer.
Of course since X couldnt start...I could log in and run my downloaded NVidia update drivers....
Afterwards you type startx as again 'init 5' wasnt recognized by my BLAG system, and voila I was back in business with a graphics screen.
I STILL had to do a reboot however, as I dont care much for the GNOME display manager....I'm still a KDE fan.
I guess my next project ill be getting Beryl manager to work correctly 8-)

Post subject: Nvidia or ATI Graphic Cards?
Hi, For what I read and understand, both Nvidia and ATI are the most recent updated when it comes to graphic cards. Nvidia goes for superb optimization over a trial and error method used by application program. It can do much more. ATi's cards look great on paper, but in practice they fall short of their specs. But, since we are using Nvidia, I can recommend it to be a good graphic card.

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (AP) -- Scores of firefighters have been working overnight to extinguish a massive burning pile of mulch at a landfill in Prince George's County.
Firefighters called to Ritchie's Landfill in Upper Marlboro on Wednesday evening found the 100-foot long, 30-foot high pile of mulch burning and more than 100 firefighters are still trying to control the blaze Thursday morning.
Fire department spokesman Mark Brady says wind gusts of up to 30 mph spread embers to nearby brush.
Brady says the effort is also being complicated by the lack of water in the remote spot. He says tanker trucks have been called in from area airports and military bases, but they have to refill at a hydrant two miles away.
The cause isn't yet clear, but Brady says spontaneous combustion is a possibility.

Associated Press
NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) -- Tribal lines are being drawn over who won Kenya's presidential election. But unlike the bloody violence that scarred the country five years ago, this time the only fighting is online.
Machete strikes and bows and arrows are being replaced by bitter Tweets and angry status updates.
The exchange of barbs between supporters of Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta -- who was named the winner of the March 4 election with 50.07 percent of the vote -- and his closest competitor, Prime Minister Raila Odinga, has degenerated into expletive-filled fights in social media that have the government worried.
The Ministry of Information and Communications said this week that it has been unable to contain "the ugly messages of hate and negative ethnicity" online. It said many of the messages qualify as hate speech.
Some officials worry that the virtual feuding could trigger real-life fighting.
"The outrage is becoming wider and the tension is palpable. It's going to erode all our efforts of building national cohesion," Milly Lwanga, vice chair of the government-funded National Cohesion and Integration Commission, told The Associated Press on Thursday. "The buildup of tension, it's like a room where gas is leaking slowly and then eventually there will be something small to ignite it and people will wonder where the explosion came from."
After Kenya's disputed presidential vote in late 2007, Odinga's supporters took to the streets. Tribal violence erupted, resulting in the deaths of more than 1,000 people.
Odinga's camp said the prime minister will file a petition with the Supreme Court on Friday to overturn the election results. Odinga alleges the election was rigged.
"We are dealing with criminals who should not be in State House but in prison," Odinga said Thursday of his opponents. But, significantly, he is urging his supporters to stay calm as his case is heard in court.
No major violence has been reported, but the interactions are ugly online. Ethnic allegiances are exposed and ridiculed. Kenyatta's tribe -- the Kikuyus -- and Odinga's tribe -- the Luos -- clashed violently five years ago.
"Mmm! Kikuyus r thieves by default. There is nowhere on the planet earth, where a kikuyu works without stealing. Its embedded in their DNA. Kill all of them n Kenya will be a pleasant country to live in," a post on Facebook by one user, Phil Miser, read.
A user named Susan Karanja replied to the tribal taunt from Miser: "We may be thieves but we are also enterprising. No wonder we employ u to use (your) brains in our jobs coz u dont use (yours) to better (your) lives n that's the way it is. We run u not vice versa so swallow it."
One popular online forum in Kenya, mashada.com, was taken offline before the election, presumably because of hate-filled postings on the site. A Facebook group called Stop Raila Odinga Now has more than 20,000 members. One recent comment was addressed to Luos and Kambas, another ethnic group: "All your provinces do is give this nation violence, war, thieves, mad people and whores."
Gordon Mutugi, a 31-year-old public relations specialist, said that many people have stopped following him on Twitter because of his support for Kenyatta. Mutugi said many of his followers have branded him a tribalist.
The hate messages are being exchanged mainly between members of three communities, said Lwanga. The Kikuyus, the Luos and the Kalenjins, the tribe of William Ruto, Kenyatta's running mate. The National Cohesion and Integration Commission has bloggers monitoring the discussions who interject with "sober" comments to try to calm the exchanges down, Lwanga said.
In 2007, Kenyans sent out hateful phone text messages but it was before social media, such as Twitter, had really taken hold, she said.
Though Kenyan leaders appear to have prevented a repeat of the 2007-08 violence this election -- at least so far -- the way voters cast ballots remained largely the same: Kenyatta won overwhelming support from Kikuyus and practically none from Luos. It was the same -- in reverse -- for Odinga.
"It is a reflection of the way campaigns were conducted to galvanize the support around one tribal affiliation," Lwanga said.
Lwanga said the national cohesion commission is trying to trace people who post hate messages so that they are prosecuted. Hate speech carries a fine of around $12,000 or imprisonment for up to three years, or both. Recently the government has made all Kenyans register their phone numbers with the Communication Commission of Kenya, which should make it easier to track perpetrators. She said her group also tried working with the National Police Service's Cyber Crime Unit to block sites filled with hate speech but realized it was not working because the perpetrators would set up another site almost immediately.
