A news report indicating what most physicists have known already. The high energy physics experiments will soon migrate out of the US completely and into Europe. This will certainly be true when the Tevatron ends its funding and the LHC goes online.
The fight for the ILC is still hazy. No definitive decision yet on building it, and where to build it. I know that Fermilab is making a major push to host it, and those of us here at Argonne are certainly supporting it. If the ILC goes elsewhere, then the US has ZILCH large scale high energy physics facility for the first time in the history of high energy physics experiments (SLAC is already being retooled into a light source with the building of the LCLS).
Zz.
