Native Americans battle corporates in Idaho
The tar sands region of the Canadian Province of Alberta has proved a lucrative, and controversial, source of oil for the US market. A remote stretch of highway in the US state of Idaho has become a choke point for tar sands machinery, threatening to cost big oil companies billions of dollars. The fight against megaloads, activists believe, is also a fight against the ecological damage in the tar sands region of Alberta. Many also believe it's a blow in the battle to stop man-made climate change Al Jazeera's Rob Reynolds reports from Idaho.

An experiment in Arco Idaho that changed the world forever
ARCO - On a cold winter day in 1951, Walter Zinn and a group of scientists met in a small nuclear reactor 50 miles west of Idaho Falls to conduct an experiment that would change the modern world forever.
It was five days before Christmas, and Cold War tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union were at their height.
At that time, the Soviets claimed everything the United States (did with nuclear power) was about weapons. We didn't have a peaceful bone in our bodies, INL spokesman Don Miley says of the Soviet's mentality.
But this experiment would prove that the U.S. was about more than nuclear weapons and that atomic energy could be used for peaceful means.
That day, Zinn and his group of scientists conducted the world's first usable electricity generated by a nuclear reactor.
They lit four light bulbs, and the next day, lit the entire building, says Miley.
That's the story behind Experimental Breeder Reactor I, the first nuclear reactor built in Idaho on the National Reactor Testing Site. NRTS is the predecessor to what we know today as Idaho National Laboratories.
Testing at EBR-I confirmed that a reactor could create more fuel than it consumes and it paved the way for an even bigger scientific breakthrough with a different reactor four years later.
In July of 1955, another group of scientists attempted to use nuclear energy to power an entire town.
They tied the generator into the power grid and flipped a switch. They were not in phase with the utility and fried seven miles of power lines, says Miley.
They tried it again several days later, and this time they succeeded.
One or two nights later, they made sure they were in phase with the power company, switched over to BORAX-III, and for an hour in the middle of the night, they lit our central facilities area and Arco, Idaho.
Arco, located 20 miles northwest of EBR-I, became the first city in the world lit by atomic power on July 17, 1955.

Digging for historic treasure at old Fort Boise

Indian Petroglyphs in Idaho | Celebration Park
Nearly 14,000 years ago, prehistoric Lake Bonneville breached a natural dam at Red Rock Pass in Southern Idaho – a catastrophic event that drained the lake into the Snake River at a rate of nearly 15-million cubic feet per second. Large basalt boulders were tumbled for several miles until they settled in what is now Canyon County, Idaho. 12,000 years ago, Native Americans living along the Snake River used the newly placed boulders as canvas to carve petroglyphs.
Today, the area make’s up Celebration Park which offers several recreational activities including camping, fishing, horseback riding and canoeing. The park is home to Idaho’s largest historic monument – the Guffey Railroad Bridge – which was saved from demolition when it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. It has since been restored into a beautiful pedestrian walkway.

Places to see in ( Boise - USA )
Places to see in ( Boise - USA )
Boise is the capital city of Idaho. The Boise River Greenbelt is a series of tree-dotted trails and parks hugging the water's edge. In an art deco building, downtown’s Boise Art Museum has contemporary works and an outdoor sculpture garden. The grand, sandstone Idaho State Capitol Building is nearby. The Old Idaho Penitentiary contains 19th-century prison cells and gallows, plus historic military weaponry.
Today Boise is sometimes seen as the eastern enclave of the Pacific Northwest, or the western enclave of the Rocky Mountains, or both, depending on who you ask. Downtown Boise and the North End neighborhood offer a PNW feel every bit as strong as anything in Portland or Seattle, while suburbs such as Meridian and Nampa steadfastly cling to the decidedly self-reliant ethos of the Intermountain West.
Boise is located in southwestern Idaho, about 41 miles (66 km) east of the Oregon border, and 110 miles (177 km) north of the Nevada border. The downtown area's elevation is 2,704 feet (824 m) above sea level. Like all major cities, it is composed of several neighborhoods. These include the Bench, the North End, West Boise and Downtown, among others. Downtown Boise is Boise's cultural center and home to many small businesses and a few mid-rises. While downtown Boise lacks a major retail/dining focus like Seattle, Portland, and Spokane, the area has a variety of shops and growing option for dining choices.
To the south of downtown Boise is Boise State University and its surrounding environs. The area is dominated by residential neighborhoods and businesses catering to the student population. The North End, generally defined as the part of Boise north of State Street, contains many of the city's older homes. The Boise Highlands is located just north of the North End. Its location is generally defined as north of Hill Road, East of Bogus Basin Road. Its neighborhood is mostly filled with homes constructed in the 1970s, as well as a golf course/country club known as Crane Creek.
Southwest Boise contains sparsely populated neighborhoods built from the 1960s to the early 1980s. Northwest Boise lies against the Boise Foothills to the north, State Street to the south, the city of Eagle to the west, and downtown Boise to the east. It contains a mix of old and new neighborhoods, including Lakeharbor, which features the private Silver Lake, a reclaimed quarry. Warm Springs is centered on the tree-lined Warm Springs Avenue and contains some of Boise's largest and most expensive homes. The far-east end of Warm Springs was once known as Barber Town, featuring a hotel with hot springs nestled into the foothills. Southeast Boise spans from Boise State University to Micron Technology. The Bench, generally bounded by Federal Way to the east, Cole Road to the west and Garden City to the north, sits on an elevation approximately 60 feet (18 m) higher than downtown Boise to its northeast. West Boise is home to Boise Towne Square Mall.
