Energy company files claim against Ada County

BOISE, Idaho (AP) ? An alternative energy company that generates electricity from landfill methane gas filed a $30 million claim accusing Ada County leaders of breaching their contract.

The notice filed Tuesday by Hidden Hollow Energy LLC and Hidden Hollow Energy 2 LLC alleges Ada County commissioners violated an agreement when they signed a separate deal guaranteeing another energy company a steady supply of landfill garbage, The Idaho Statesman reported Thursday (http://bit.ly/MIvIOL).

Hidden Hollow Energy has been operating since 2006 at the Ada County landfill, using methane gas produced from decomposing trash to generate 3.2 megawatts of power. The company is selling the electricity to Idaho Power, the state's biggest utility.

Last fall, Ada County commissioners signed a contract with Dynamis Energy Inc., which is proposing building a plant capable of using waste coming to the landfill to fuel a gasification plant. Under terms of that deal, the county agreed to deliver at least 408 tons of trash per day, about one third of the landfill's daily stream. Dynamis also has a contract to sell power generated at the proposed facility to Idaho Power.

Lawyers for Hidden Hollow Energy say losing trash to Dynamis undercuts promises made by the county.

The tort claim is a precursor to a civil lawsuit, and county officials have 90 days to respond before Hidden Hollow can seek relief in the courts.

County officials did not immediately return phone messages left by The Associated Press Thursday.

The claim and potential legal fight is just the latest hurdle for the Hidden Hollow Energy companies.

Hidden Hollow Energy 2 is seeking to expand operations at the landfill. The company has yet to obtain an air quality permit from the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality, and the delay in getting the permit prompted Idaho Power to sever its power agreement with the company.

Utility officials said they terminated the deal when Hidden Hollow Energy 2 failed to meet a Feb. 28 deadline for being operational, according to a letter from Idaho Power attorney Jason Williams sent to state regulators.

The alternative energy company has filed a complaint challenging the termination with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission.

5 Reasons the Paleo Diet Isn't Just for Fitness Nuts

Though the Paleo diet has been gaining popularity lately among diet and fitness experts and enthusiasts but its fundamental elements are nothing new.? The Paleo diet is also known as the caveman diet, the Stone Age diet and the hunter-gatherer diet.? The diet itself is a modern twist on a diet high in those meat and wild vegetables that may have made up the diet for people living in the Paleolithic era.

The idea behind the science is that the genetic makeup of the human body and what it needs to run at optimum performance has not changed much over the 10,000 years since our ancestors were foraging the land for their food.? Though there have been many advances in agriculture throughout time, if we can eat the way our ancestors ate, eliminating those things that our body is not made to process, we will see great benefits.

The diet itself consists of eating fish and grain fed beef, root vegetables, fruit, other vegetables, fungi and nuts, doing away with dairy products, grains, processed oils and legumes.? The idea being that you can eat those things that can be hunted and gathered.? Enthusiasts believe that those who follow this diet and get back to their ancestral roots will see many physical benefits.? Here are just a few of these such benefits that make this diet way more than just a fad for fitness nuts, but something practical for every man.

Reduces or Eliminates Chronic Disease

People with chronic disease such as MS, high cholesterol and heart disease have seen their symptoms reduced considerably if not disappear after some time following the contemporary Paleo diet.? There have been studies with individuals with chronic symptoms as a result of long term illness that after following the Paleo diet for a length of time have been cured or have reduced their risk of serious danger as a result of their disease.? Researchers and developers of the diet believe that our ancestors did not suffer from disease like we do today because they were not filling their bodies with a slew of unnatural items their bodies were not properly equipped to absorb and digest.? By getting back to basics, you can make your body more able to easily process your food, store less and eliminate toxins that may be harmful or cause health issues.

Many specialists believe that eating a modern diet makes us more susceptible to cancer and diabetes along with other diseases that have been on the rise in modern times.? This diet eliminates foods that are known to pose risks associated with these diseases.

Lose Weight

Experts on the diet say that you will see considerable weight loss with the reduction of ?unnatural? elements in your diet: processed oils, grains and vegetables and meat that did not gain popularity until after the agricultural revolution.? This weight loss is due in some respects to the elimination of carbohydrates in general, grains and gluten.? There are other meal plans that have mirrored this dietary structure because quite simply the elimination of these elements has proven to produce results

Better Skin

With the elimination of the consumption of foods that could be considered toxic or produce toxins during digestion,? anything that is processed or that your body was not designed to break down and digest, your skin can reap the benefits along with your internal systems.? When your body is cleansed and working in optimal conditions, everything is healthier; your skin, your hair, your nails, everything should improve.? The healthier you are inside, the more it will shine through on the outside.

Less Allergic Reactions

By following the Paleo diet, you are eliminating two major food allergens.? Dairy and gluten account for 90% of allergies related to food and neither of those are included in this diet. If you have preexisting issues related to either of these foods, the structure of this meal plan may be good for you.

Say Goodbye to the Bloat

Because this diet is high and fiber and low in salt, it is a great avenue for reducing the feeling and appearance of belly bloat.? By drinking a lot of water, the high fiber diet flushes the system and by eliminating the high salt foods and extra added salt, you reduce water retention thereby making your mid-section appear and feel flatter and lighter.? Who doesn?t love that?

With all these benefits, it is hard to see why more people don?t give this diet a try.? After all there is a logical science behind it that even the most practical person can see the sense and logic to.

Kamikawa undaunted by early Riner prospect

Japanese heavyweight Daiki Kamikawa says he is undaunted by the prospect of facing world champion Teddy Riner in the first round of the Olympics next week.

The 22-year-old is the only man to have beaten Riner in a major competition since the last Olympics when the giant Frenchman was defeated by Uzbekistan's Abdullo Tangriev in the semi-finals.

But Kamikawa's general form has been far from spectacular over the last two years, winning only about 60 percent of his fights leaving him outside the top eight seeds for the Games as he is ranked only 12th in the world.

It puts him at risk of drawing one of the favourites in the first round with Riner the major obstacle.

The five-time world champion, and bronze medallist in Beijing four years ago when only 19, is overwhelming favourite but Kamikawa is prepared for an almost kamikaze approach to the draw.

"I want to win the Olympics, everyone is very strong but that's much better because I want to fight with strong guys," said the 2010 Open weight world champion.

Kamikawa beat Riner in the Open final in Tokyo after the bout went to a judges' decision, with the Frenchman later claiming he was robbed by some home-town scoring.

Although the Japanese hope has not been in great form since, he believes he is improving.

He has reached only one final this year at the Almaty Masters in January where he lost to Brazil's world number three Rafael Silva.

And that had been his first final for almost a year since he was well beaten by a fired-up Riner, out for revenge at the Paris Grand Slam.

"Previously I tended to take a step backwards and wait for my opponents to attack but now I take a step forwards," said Kamikawa.

"That's helped improve my performance very much. I want to fight without regrets and do my best.

"I've improved my performance since trying to step forwards, so I've found a new part of myself."

He's not the only Japanese heavyweight under pressure to deliver as women's entrant Maki Sugimoto will be up against near-unbeatable Chinese star Tong Wen.

Tong is the reigning Olympic champion and won the world title in Paris last year on her comeback after a doping incident which saw her initially banned for taking clenbuterol, only to have that overturned on a appeal due to a technicality.

Sugimoto says she has been working on the gripping of her opponent's jacket to try to turn the tide against her illustrious foe.

"I will focus on gripping and trying different types of grips to start with before moving on to my favourite grip," she said.

"I'm trying to imagine different patterns of grips to meet foreign athletes."

Under-52kg fighter Misato Nakamura faces a potential joker in the pack in the form of North Korea's An Kum-Ae, who beat her in the semi-finals in Beijing four years ago.

Like all North Koreans, An is rarely seen in international competitions so she will not be seeded.

So world champion Nakamura, who was picked ahead of compatriot world number one Yuka Nishida, could face a tricky first round tie.

"I might have her in the first bout but I don't care, it doesn't matter where I meet her," she said.

"I don't think I will lose, I think I can win because I have fought her before and I know how she fights."

Men's under-66kg world champion Masashi Ebinuma is feeling confident ahead of his first Olympics, although the 22-year-old acknowledges he will be less of a surprise to his rivals.

"Since I won the Worlds the other athletes will have done some research on me," he said.

"Although they've done research I can do my best because I have improved in terms of breaking (his opponent's) balance and the start of a technique.

"They haven't seen those things yet as I've added them since the Worlds so I'm confident with that."
