    Hackers set sights on small businesses, households
    By Jake Lynch • August 19, 2010 11:34 am

    Over the past 20 years, in small cities and communities across America, the average daily police record of reported crimes and complaints would hold a familiar, and fairly uniform, list of events – a drunk and disorderly, car prowling, garage break ins, and vandalism would usually fill the police blotters of places like Issaquah and Sammamish.

    At an open house at Blakely Hall late in July, a small but interested group of community members asked City of Issaquah Major Development lead, Keith Niven, and Port Blakely chief in the Highlands, Judd Kirk, about the potential traffic and other impacts of 410 additional units in the 35 acre parcel, and 500 additional units in the existing Highlands, to areas like Park Drive NE outside Grand Ridge Elementary.

    It was last year that then Port Blakely chief Alan Boeker said his company would be interested in paying for a mountain bike park of some description in the Issaquah Highlands. It was an offering, a sweetner, in controversial negotiations Boeker was involved in to bring a gas station to the Highlands. The $30,000 was little more than a bar napkin number he plucked out of the air. But it stuck.

    It is probably not a surprise to most that, although the U.S. constitutes only 4 percent of the world’s population, it accounts for 22 percent of the world’s total energy consumption.
    Usually when we hear statistics like this we assume the big culprits are industry and big business, or modes of transportation. But in fact, the operation of residential housing is responsible for 21 percent of total US energy consumption, things like space heating and cooling, appliances, water heating, and lighting.
