text: New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie returned to the early presidential primary state of New Hampshire on Thursday, promising supporters it will not be the last time he is seen in the Granite State.
  “I’m going to be up here often to help Walt as much as I possibly can,” Christie told the crowd in Nashua, N.H.
  The official reason for the trip was to stump for New Hampshire gubernatorial candidate Walt Havenstein. As head of the Republican Governor’s Association, Christie has traveled around the country to champion Republican candidates while also making political inroads of his own.
  Christie’s New Hampshire trip is his second in two months and has led many to believe it has as much to do with his own political future as it does Havenstein.
  Earlier this month Christie told supporters in Iowa, the first state in line to nominate presidential candidates, that he would “be back a lot” to help popular incumbent Republican Gov. Terry Branstad.
  H2O GOES SNOW: Anyone who has taken in "World of Color," the nightly spectacular -- or wet-tacular? -- at Disney California Adventure, has a favorite bit. Watching all of the "Glow with the Show" Mickey ears light up in unison is one popular sight, as is seeing your favorite film suddenly shimmer to life on the giant wall of water (we're looking at you, Captain Jack Sparrow, and you too, Merida of "Brave"). Us? We like spying Mickey's Fun Wheel through all of that splashy haps, and, yes, we like getting occasionally spritzed, just a little, when we stand near the front. Now fans of the wall-of-water extravaganza are in for a new treat, a treat that bowed on Friday, Nov. 15. Yep, World of Color is still around, but now it has something of a seasonal theme, with scenes and characters from the new animated film "Frozen," among other icy additions. And the new name? "World of Color -- Winter Dreams."
  HOLIDAY HIGH JINKS, TOO: It won't be all brrrr all the time with the new show; there shall be holiday froofrafra as well. But maybe you heard that Disneyland Resort and the end-of-the-year celebrations are a classic pairing? Yep, you heard. Check out the video below if you want the requisite sneak peek, or just be inside California Adventure after dark if you want to watch the whole thing frozen. We mean, er, fresh (but, yes, bundle up, as even Anaheim gets nicely brisk at night come the cooler months).

  Washington Wizards center Marcin Gortat was a late scratch from the lineup on Thursday against the Portland Trail Blazers after hurting his back dunking during pregame warmups.
  Gortat wasn’t feeling soreness in his back before the game and thought he would get it loose during his pregame warm-ups. But he made it worse when he stretched out for dunk and felt a jolt in his back.
  “I pulled all the way to the end and I couldn’t move it, so, I had kind of had like a block in my back, I guess a back spasm,” Gortat said. “I’ll be back. It’s not a big deal. Just got to get a few exercises. Get a few treatments and I’ll be back.”
  US President-elected Donald Trump is displayed on a television screen with the curve of the German stock index DAX in background at the stock market in Frankfurt, Germany, Wednesday, Nov. 9, 2016. The DAX started lower compared to the closing the day before, but closed up over 1.5 percent.
  Asian stock markets stumbled shortly after Trump overtook Hillary Clinton in the presidential vote count early Wednesday. From there, Wall Street appeared set for a slump of its own, only it never materialized.
  Global financial markets soon steadied as Trump delivered an acceptance speech pledging to unify a deeply divided nation.
  And despite wavering in the first hour of trading, U.S. stocks rallied the rest of the day, lifting the Dow Jones industrial average within 50 points of a record high close.
  "He took on a remarkably conciliatory posture," said Eric Wiegand, senior portfolio manager at the Private Client Reserve at U.S. Bank. "That went a long way to demonstrating, perhaps for the first time or very few times, his presidential disposition, and gave a greater sense of calm. That's what had an early reprieve in the markets."
  The Dow ultimately climbed 256.95 points, or 1.4 percent, to 18,589.69. The average was briefly up 317 points.
  The Standard & Poor's 500 index gained 23.70 points, or 1.1 percent, to 2,163.26 The Nasdaq composite index rose 57.58 points, or 1.1 percent, to 5,251.07.
  On Wednesday, faced with a president-elect Trump, traders piled into health care and financial stocks — sectors seen as likely to struggle under a Clinton administration. They also sold off safe-haven stocks like utilities and consumer-focused companies.
  Financial companies led the gainers, surging 4.1 percent. Banks and other financial stocks tend to benefit from higher interest rates and less government regulation, two things investors anticipate could happen during a Trump presidency.
  Health care companies climbed 3.4 percent. The sector has taken a beating this year, reflecting in part fears that a Clinton presidency would lead to curbs on drug pricing increases that could hurt drugmakers and biotechnology companies.
  Prison stocks also jumped sharply Wednesday. Shares in two of the largest private prisons companies, Corrections Corporation of America and GEO Group Inc., rose 34 percent jump and 18 percent.
  President-elect Donald J. Trump has called for increased deportation of undocumented immigrants. Implementing that plan would heighten prison demand by ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), analysts said, NBC News reported.
  Utilities were down the most, sliding 3.7 percent, followed by consumer-focused stocks, down 1.3 percent.
  Billionaire investor Carl Icahn was among those who seized on Trump's win to play the market. The billionaire told Bloomberg that he put about $1 billion "to work" on stocks early Wednesday.
  Investors hope Trump plans for infrastructure spending, tax cuts and lighter regulation will benefit the economy. They expect those spending plans will call for issuing more debt.
  A sell-off in bonds sent prices tumbling, driving the yield on the 10-year Treasury note up to 2.08 percent from 1.86 percent late Tuesday. That's the highest the rate has been since January. That yield is a benchmark used to set interest rates on many kinds of loans including home mortgages.
  Among individual companies that made big moves, health care companies like hospital chains and some insurers that gained business from the Affordable Care Act's coverage expansion took heavy losses. Meanwhile, shares jumped for drugmakers and pharmacy benefits managers that likely will face less regulatory scrutiny over price increases from a Trump administration.
  HCA, the nation's largest hospital chain, fell 10.8 percent, while Viagra maker Pfizer climbed 7.1 percent. The biggest pharmacy benefits manager, Express Scripts Holding Co., rose 7.1 percent.
  Firearm sales typically surge when a presidential candidate who favors an expansion of gun-control laws is elected. That's not the case with Trump, however. That gave investors a reason to sell shares in firearm makers. Smith & Wesson slid 15.2 percent, while Sturm, Ruger & Co., fell 14.4 percent.
  Germany's DAX rose 1.6 percent, while France's CAC-40 gained 1.5 percent. The FTSE 100 index of leading British shares was 1 percent higher.
  The Mexican peso fell sharply, declining 8 percent against the dollar as the prospect that Trump would repeal favorable trade policies with Mexico. The U.S. currency rose sharply to 19.87 Mexican pesos from 18.42 pesos.
  In metals trading, the price of gold slid $1 to $1,273.50 an ounce, while silver added 2 cents to $18.38 an ounce. Copper added 8 cents to $2.46 a pound.
  Benchmark U.S. crude rose 29 cents to close at $45.27 a barrel in New York. Brent crude, used to price international oils, gained 32 cents to close at $46.36 a barrel in London.
  Other energy futures were also mixed. Wholesale gasoline fell a penny to $1.36 a gallon. Heating oil held steady at $1.44 a gallon. Natural gas rose 6 cents, or 2.2 percent, to $2.69 per 1,000 cubic feet.
