Stocks began the new year with a broad rally on Wednesday, sparked by a last-minute deal in Washington to avert the "fiscal cliff" of tax hikes and spending cuts that threatened to derail the economy.?
In 2013's first trading session, the S&P 500 recorded?its best percentage gain since November 19 and highest close since October 19.?
The Dow Jones industrial average gained?308.41 points, or 2.35?percent, to 13,412.55. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index rose?36.23?points, or 2.54 percent, to 1,462.42. The Nasdaq Composite Index jumped 92.75 points, or 3.07 percent, to 3,112.26.?
U.S. markets were closed on Tuesday for New Year's Day.?
Nine stocks rose for every one falling on the New York Stock Exchange and all 10 of the S&P 500 industry sector indexes gained at least 1 percent.?
Congress passed a bill to prevent huge tax hikes and delay spending cuts that would have pushed the world's largest economy off a "fiscal cliff" and possibly into recession.?
The vote avoided steep income-tax increases for a majority of Americans but failed to resolve a major showdown over cutting the budget deficit, leaving investors and businesses with only limited clarity about the outlook for the economy. Spending cuts of $109 billion in military and domestic programs were temporarily delayed, and another fight over raising the U.S. debt limit also looms.?
"We got through the fiscal cliff. The next big thing, and probably more contentious thing, is negotiating the debt ceiling and possibly entitlement reform in early 2013," said Jim Russell, senior equity strategist for U.S. Bank Wealth Management in Cincinnati.?
Hard choices about budget cuts and the critical need to raise the debt ceiling will confront Congress about the same time in two months "so the fur will be flying," Russell said.?
U.S. stocks ended 2012 with the S&P 500 up 13.4 percent for the year, as investors largely shrugged off worries about the fiscal cliff. For the year, the Dow gained 7.3 percent and the Nasdaq jumped 15.9 percent.?
Bank shares rose following news that U.S. regulators are close to securing another multibillion-dollar settlement with the largest banks to resolve allegations that they unlawfully cut corners when foreclosing on delinquent borrowers.?
Bank of America Corp rose 3 percent to $11.95 and Citigroup Inc gained 3.7 percent to $41.03.?
Shares of Zipcar Inc surged 48.2 percent to $12.21 after Avis Budget Group Inc said it would buy Zipcar for about $500 million in cash to compete with larger rivals Hertz and Enterprise Holdings Inc. Avis advanced 4.8 percent to $20.78.?
Shares of Apple rose 2.5 percent to $545.56, helping to lift the S&P technology index <.GSPT> up 2.3 percent following a report that the most valuable tech company has started testing a new iPhone and a new version of its iOS software.?
Economic data showed U.S. manufacturing ended 2012 on an upswing despite fears about the fiscal cliff, but construction spending fell in November for the first time in eight months.?

Thunderbolt enthusiasts have only been able to rely on the use of copper core cables -- which offer significant limitations on distance -- for their data transfer needs, but hope is close at hand. This afternoon, Corning announced that it's launching optical cables with Thunderbolt connectivity. The new cables are just as durable as copper and are up to ten times longer (they come in lengths of 10, 20 and 30 meters, while copper only goes up to three). Just like copper, the optical cables offer high-speed data transfers up to 10Gbps, though they lack the ability to provide power to your devices. If Thunderbolt isn't your thing, don't fret: Corning plans to offer a set with USB3 connectivity as well. We haven't been given any pricing yet, but both sets of cables should be available sometime in Q1.

DAMARA, Central African Republic (AP) ? The embattled president of Central African Republic has dismissed his son as the country's defense minister.
The move late Wednesday comes as President Francois Bozize faces a coalition of rebel groups who are seeking his ouster.
National radio announced that his son Francis Bozize will no longer be the defense minister.
Chief of Staff Gen. Guillaume Lapo is also leaving the government, according to the announcement.
Francois Bozize has been in power since 2003 and in the past month he has faced a growing threat as rebels have seized 10 towns across the north.
Bozize has announced he's willing to negotiate with the rebels but he said he will not leave office before his current term ends in 2016.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - A second Indiana congressman is taking action after an I-Team 8 investigation exposed the government may be knowingly turning its back on thousands of Gulf War veterans with cancer.?
Karen Hensel exposed the investigation that has now prompted troops from here to Afghanistan to be tested for lung cancer.
It was a cancer predicted during the Gulf War by top scientists from several countries. Now 20 years veterans, non smokers, are dying of lung cancer. I-Team 8 went to Washington asking why?
INDIANA MARINE BATTLES
At the center of the battle is Indiana State Trooper and Marine Col. Mark Smith.? He says, "Now it's game on. Now its the fight. That part I can understand."?
Col. Mark Smith is a hardcore Marine. A battalion commander, he led 1,200 Marines into the deepest battles of the Iraq war. This time the fight is not against terrorists in Iraq. The enemy is lung cancer. Smith tells his pulmonologist Dr. Peter Garrett "Hey, a colonel in the Marine Corps can give orders. I can take orders."
He no longer fights alongside Marines. He has a new team. Smith says, "The wings these people wear that nobody sees because they are unbelievable." He is no longer the commander, but rather he is the patient 20 years after the Gulf War.
THE ORIGIN
24-Hour News 8's original I-Team 8 investigation prompted immediate action from Indiana Congressman Marlin Stutzman who is a member of the House Veteran's Affairs Committee. Within days, he sent this letter to the VA and DOD demanding answers on government "response and policies."? Why aren't veterans being notified they are at higher risk of lung cancer and why aren't they being aggressively screened?
When civilian doctors found a blood clot in Smith's leg they immediately ordered a CT scan. While the VA has been urged to offer CT screenings for veterans at high risk for lung cancer, so far the VA has not implemented it, relying solely on the less efficient x-rays.
HOW MANY?
There may be tens of thousands like Mark Smith unaware of the lung cancer battle waging in their chest. In 1991, Mark deployed with the 3/24 Marines to Saudi Arabia. He was stationed near the infamous Kuwaiti oil well fires some scientists likened to a "petroleum Chernobyl". The skies were black during the day. Black gunk would run from their noses. Doctors warned then cancer would appear 20 years later.
Two of Smiths doctors--one now and one then--say it appears his deployment 20 years ago could be the origin.? Dr. Garrett confirms to I-Team 8 "He certainly had exposure."? In 1998 Dr. Robert Daly documents: he spent "substantial time in the military in Saudi Arabia and was exposed to oil fires. Mark's dyspnea (shortness of breath) is somewhat puzzling."
24-Hour News 8's cameras have spent six months documenting how a Marine commander, always prepared, battles cancer. During treatment Smith told 24-Hour News 8, "This is just something I was completely and utterly unprepared for. The Marine Corps steels you."
DAY ONE
Our cameras were there as Smith underwent his first day of treatment. He called it "awesome" and lifted his shirt to show the box that marks the treatment. Day after day he undergoes both radiation and chemo. Long, hard, grueling treatments.?
While undergoing chemotherapy, he shows his Battlebook saying "This is just the Marine Corps way."? But the Marine Battlebook is replaced by Mark's Cancer Battlebook of appointments, notes and reminders. Smith says, "Someone tells you you have cancer, I don't care who you are. Your first thought is I'm dead. That's the stigma that comes with the disease. You have no idea there are the Dr. Garretts and the Dr. Meyers out there doing the things they are doing."
MARK'S NEW TEAM
Before treatment, there are moments of quiet reflection. Once it is time to go back, our microphone comes off. The box on his chest is highlighted as he lies on the machine. Mark may be by himself in the room, but he is never alone. Doctors and staff watch and wait as the barrage of radiation attacks the cancer cells. Smith is emotional as he reveals, "I've walked among giants in the Marine Corps. Guys books will be written about. This 100 pound female doctor stands as tall as any one of them."
He's talking about oncologist Dr. Meyer. Grateful to the doctors, nurses and technicians he thanked each one not as a patient, but as a Marine with a US Marine challenge coin. Semper Fi. Always Faithful.
One Marine, one patient "Always Faithful".
NEW QUESTIONS:
VA RESPONSE
But has the government been faithful to the troops deployed early in the Gulf War?? It took the VA several months to respond to questions from I-Team 8.
We were told "The VA is continuing to systematically study the long term health mortality experience of Gulf War veterans".? While they "found a slight increase in lung cancer" shortly after the 1990-1991 conflict, the response stated "a significantly greater proportion of deployed smoke cigarettes".
Col. Smith never smoked.
SECOND CONGRESSMAN WANTS ANSWERS?
How
many others are there?? That's what Indiana Congressman Todd Rokita is also asking after seeing our investigation. In a letter to the VA Secretary he wants a "clear explanation of what action" is being taken and "What preventative measures are being taken".
Consider it took 11 years for the cancers of 911 to finally be documented. Even more were at risk 20 years ago and still no action has been taken.
Until now.?
We heard from many veterans-non smokers-with lung cancer who also served in Desert Storm.
We also heard from those concerned. 24-Hour News 8 is posting the research on CT scans on our website so you can talk with your doctor. Those links can be found under the News tab at Web Link 8 .
