Charter lands deal for Disney's full streaming, TV services in the first half of 2013
Charter viewers won't have any shortage of TV choices this year -- at least, as long as they like Disney-owned channels. The House of Mouse has signed a deal with Charter to bring its full deck of channels and services to the cable provider in the first half of 2013. The mix includes all national ABC, Disney and ESPN channels as well as their on-demand and authenticated streaming equivalents, such as WatchESPN. The Longhorn Network and local station retransmissions are involved as well. Neither side has mentioned the full terms, although it's cast as a "multi-year" pact; we'll take the uncertainty as long as we get more say in what (and how) we watch.

Obama says budget deals show a path forward when officials focus on what's right for country
During an oddly jokey statement at the White House as the fiscal deadline bore down Monday afternoon, President Obama said, "I'm going to be president for the next four years. I?hope." He was warning Republicans that, yes, they'd have to deal with him for a while. But it was, to be sure, a strange moment. Could he actually have been joking about assassination? About impeachment? The?apocalypse? Or has everyone just had enough of these negotiations??

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) ? Oscar-winning sound editor Mike Hopkins, who worked on the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy and other blockbusters, has died in a rafting accident in New Zealand. He was 53.
Hopkins drowned on Sunday when his inflatable raft capsized during a flash flood in a river on New Zealand's North Island, police senior Sgt. Carolyn Watson said. His wife survived.
The New Zealand Herald newspaper quoted "Rings" director Peter Jackson as saying many actors, directors and film crew members who were lucky enough to work with Hopkins would miss him deeply.
"Mike was a very genuine, caring and warm-hearted guy with a great sense of humor," Jackson said.
A native New Zealander, Hopkins shared Oscars with sound editing partner Ethan Van der Ryn in 2003 and 2006 for "King Kong" and "Fellowship of the Ring." They also were nominated for 2007's "Transformers."
Hopkins also was sound editor on the second and third "Rings" films. Other recent films include the Johnny Depp Depression-era crime drama "Public Enemies," the Tom Cruise film "Valkyrie," and the animated "Kung Fu Panda."
His early work includes 1978's "Superman," the futuristic "Blade Runner" and two Jackson films, "Heavenly Creatures" and "The Frighteners."
The Herald reported a family celebration of Hopkins' life was planned on Thursday.
A river contractor, Bruce Slater, and his son used a jet boat to rescue Hopkins' wife. Nicci Hopkins had been in the Waiohine River two hours and was clinging to a ledge in a narrow part of the gorge too dangerous for bigger boats or a helicopter.
Watson called the Slaters heroic. Slater told Fairfax New Zealand the flash flood raised the river 2 to 3 meters (9.8 feet) while the rafters were in the water.
"If they'd been half an hour earlier, they would have been clear of the gorge," he said. And a half hour later, the water levels would have been noticeably dangerous before the rafters launched, Slater said.
