BUSH/SUDAN/OIL- Thursday, Jan 25, 2001 11:16 PM ET To: Marantz who wrote (1137) From: LARRY LARSON News Article by REUTERS posted on January 25, 2001 at 09:15:15: EST (-5 GMT) Sudan's Bashir gets message from Bush, paper says KHARTOUM, Jan 25 (Reuters) - New U.S. President George W. Bush has sent a message to Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir, signalling a possible thaw in relations, a Sudanese newspaper said on Thursday. The message, due to be presented to Bashir on Thursday by the U.S. charge d'affaires in Khartoum, comes in response to a goodwill message Bashir sent Bush last month after he was named U.S. president-elect, the independent al-Rai al-Aam said. Bush's response indicates a willingness by both sides "to open a new page in bilateral relations between Khartoum and Washington to overcome the deterioration that characterised the recent period of time," the paper said. It n among states sponsoring international terrorism since 1993, a status that had been proposed during the administration of Bush's father and fellow Republican, former U.S. President George Bush. The United States has banned Americans from financial dealings with countries on the terrorism list since 1996 and in 1997 Washington imposed a trade ban on Sudan, a war-torn African country of some 30 million people. Sudan expelled a U.S. diplomat last month for meeting opposition politicians in Khartoum. The government was already annoyed by a U.S. official's visit to the south, where rebels have been fighting since 1983 for autonomy, and by a U.S. campaign to block Sudan's bid for a seat on the U.N. Security Council

Quehubo007, After a Nov/Dec that were, for the nation as a whole, coldest on record, we have had a Jan thaw. Forecast models show some confusion, especially the ten day ones, because they are showing cold weather patterns for regions of the world which should not coexist with a warmer than normal model for the East Coast. In any case, winter weather so far pretty much bang on with my winter weather forecast posts from early fall. We have flow patterns setting up in Alaskan Gulf, a polar vortex off Baffin Island area. All we need is a transpolar flow setting up in early February (watch NW territories) and the NAO to go negative and we will have a very chilly February for the record books. The computer models don't do the polar flows very well so a surprise would not be extraordinary here for their 10 and 30 day forecasts. March I expect to go warm with an early spring in the East and later this year an El Nino will develop out of the dying La Nina. Been hard to keep that La Nina in the grave the last few weeks though, ggg. A cold February and a potential warm spring summer for the East could be good news for NG. Might not be much of a shoulder season. Caveat is, I seldom do summer forecasts... Best Regards, Roebear
