Swaddle-maker swamped after UK prince's photo-op

LONDON (AP) ? It took 45 seconds, but it was enough.

Newborn Prince George, carried from the hospital to the royal car, appeared in a cotton swaddle with the tiny birds on it. Mums-to-be around the world wanted to know: Who are you wearing?

The answer shows what it is like when a small company gets swept into the maelstrom of attention that comes from touching the golden hem of the House of Windsor.

Once the photos of the swaddle hit the Internet, style bloggers and fashion writers identified the would-be king's new clothes as being from New York-based aden + anais. Within four hours of George's appearance, the website crashed. The next day, the site crashed again. In nine days, the company had 7,000 orders ? a 600 percent increase in sales on that item.

The company never even issued a press release. Anyone who wanted to know the manufacturer simply had to type "royal swaddle" into Google, and up it came.

Raegan Moya-Jones, the chief executive of aden + anais, was about to start a meeting when a colleague brought in the picture. She couldn't believe it.

"I thought it was photo-shopped," she said.

The company is still digging out from under a pile of orders for the swaddle, part of the Jungle Jam pack of four that costs 44.95 pounds ($68).

The average daily visits to its site were off the charts: In Britain, they were up 1,960 percent; in Australia, up 892 percent; in Japan 791 percent and in the U.S., up 458 percent.

So just be prepared to wait if you want to similarly swaddle your little prince or princess. Jungle Jam is sold out for now in Britain and the United States. Desperate swaddle searchers can find them on the company's Australian site if they hurry. Shipping fees are extra.

And there's a factory run from China of 10,000. So hold on.

People just want to be a part of things says Cele Otnes, a professor of marketing at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and co-author of the upcoming book "Royal Fever: The British Monarchy in Consumer Culture." She said the rush to buy whatever the royals wear gives admirers a chance to participate in a big, happy event.

"This is history," she said. "If you can't be there, if you can't have a royal baby yourself, you can buy the swaddle."

The royals do grant warrants ? a mark of recognition of those who supply goods or services to the Royal Household. Fortnum & Mason has one for example, for being a "Grocer & Provision Merchant" to the monarch. But there are no royal adverts.

Nonetheless the royals remain marketing gold.

They have always been trendsetters. Even Queen Victoria once promoted a ball to help the Spitalfields silk industry, Otnes said. More recently, Princess Diana's every ruffled collar or bow-lined stocking could set off the cash registers.

But Prince George is the first heir to the throne born in the Internet age. New mums and dads can see what Kate and Wills and ? now baby George ? are wearing and buy it instantly.

This goes way beyond commemorative china, tea towels and other trinkets ? the traditional sort of souvenir that shoppers can pick up at the Buckingham Palace gift store.

There's even a name for it: the Kate Effect. It started with the sapphire blue wrap dress designed by Daniella Helayel that the then-Kate Middleton wore to announce her engagement ? and just kept going. Take the white dress Kate wore in the couple's engagement photo ? sold by UK retailer Reiss ? or Topshop's black dress with a Peter Pan collar that she wore for a video appeal.

Fashionistas follow Kate's every move. Every blouse, shoe, and bag the future queen of England wears is fodder for style bloggers and a money-spinner for retailers.

She's been democratic about it ? choosing stuff that is accessible to the average person and supporting British products in a big way.

And now there's George, who isn't even wearing clothes yet but has managed to get blankets out the door. And it isn't just the ones from aden + anais. Little George first appeared in a white crocheted blanket from G.H. Hurt & Son of Nottingham, England. They are swamped with orders, too, after photographers zeroed in on the firm's label, blew it up and posted it on the net.

And yet, this is just the start. Otnes said that the trend will just continue as George gets older. Get ready for the booties, the scooter, the sun hat. Firms can get overwhelmed by the attention, which comes fast, hot and for a limited time only.

"You had better hold on," Otnes advised companies in the limelight. "And put on another shift."

Moya-Jones, a native of Australia who started in the swaddle business because she couldn't find what she wanted in stores, didn't anticipate the royal wave. Even though aden + anais have wrapped the babies of celebs like Beyonce, the spotlight that turned on her company with Prince George was altogether different.

After all, her privately held company isn't huge ? founded seven years ago, it has 65 full-time employees and about as many part-time staff. In addition to swaddles, aden + anais makes sleeping bags, bibs, blankets and sheets, and Moya-Jones doesn't want to put so much emphasis on Jungle Jam swaddles that customers who want other products feel they are being ignored.

And then there's the shock factor ? even if it was a happy shock. The company didn't send the royals their product and expect them to use it. That's just not done.

Moya-Jones only learned after she saw pictures that Kate reportedly picked out the muslin swaddle personally at a London store.

"That's the nicest thing," she said. "At the end of the day, the duchess is a first-time mum, like all of us once were."

From Layers To Stewing Hens, Starting A Home Food Business ...

Chickens are the stars of today's program. After following birds from the farm to local hunger organizations, we make a chicken stock.

From Layers To Stewing Hens, Starting A Home Food Business [ 29:00 ] Download

We just want their lives to be as productive as possible, and they have been as hens, and so in turn we still see them as a food source and want that to be used, so.

Mandy Napier of Schacht Farms donated her three-year-old laying hens to a local hunger organization. We follow the chickens? journey from the farm to the shelves of Mother Hubbard?s Cupboard. Then we have a recipe for chicken stock that would be perfect to use with a stewing hen.

Improving soil quality should be a top priority according to some experts. Harvest Public Media looks at a technique that helps the soil and doesn?t hurt a farm?s bottom line.

Author Mimi Shortland-Fix gives advice for bakers looking to start a home-based business.

And in the kitchen, we make a colorful salad using Christmas-colored produce.

GOP?s Ortman Joins US Senate Race

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) ??Julianne Ortman, a veteran state senator from the Twin Cities suburbs, on Saturday joined the growing group of Republicans who want to challenge incumbent Democratic Sen. Al Franken next year.

Ortman launched her campaign at a downtown park in Waconia, a town west of Minneapolis in the Carver County state Senate district that Ortman has represented for the last decade. In a short speech, Ortman criticized Washington as dysfunctional, and stressed her own middle class background and reputation at Minnesota?s Capitol for tenacious advocacy of Republican principles.

?This is our time as voters in Minnesota to say that we expect more from Washington and our U.S. Senate,? Ortman said. ?We need more Minnesota in Washington, and less Washington in Minnesota.?

Franken, elected to the Senate by a razor-thin margin in 2008, is running for a second term in 2014. Two other Republicans are also running to be party?s candidate against him: Mike McFadden, a businessman from the St. Paul suburb of Sunfish Lake; and Jim Abeler, a state representative from Anoka.

In her speech, Ortman had many harsh words for Franken but also offered veiled criticism of McFadden, a wealthy businessman with no previous political experience.

?We don?t need any more disinterested millionaires in the U.S. Senate,? Ortman said. In a seeming reference to Franken?s background as a ?Saturday Night Live? writer and performer, she said: ?We don?t need more celebrity politicians who sit back and watch and provide comedic commentary. We need a strong, independent-minded woman.?

Ortman, 50, lives in Chanhassen. She and husband Ray Ortman have four children. Ortman was elected to the state Senate in 2002. She has served as deputy leader of the Senate GOP and chaired the powerful Taxes Committee in 2011-12. She has a reputation as an aggressive debater and questioner, and has been a tough critic of Gov. Mark Dayton and of Democratic policies on a wide range of issues, from tax and spending priorities to gun control.

?If necessary, and regardless of party, I will stand up to the president of the United States,? Ortman said.

Away from the Senate, Ortman since 2007 has worked as senior administrative manager in the office of Hennepin County Sheriff Rich Stanek. She said Saturday she had taken an unpaid leave of absence from that job.

State Democratic Party Chairman Ken Martin criticized Ortman for her time in the Legislature, saying she instigated policies that favored large corporations over middle-class families.

In her Waconia speech, Ortman ripped Franken on a number of fronts, including his support for President Obama?s health care overhaul, which she said should be repealed. She said the incumbent hasn?t done enough to address spiraling national debt, or to rein in surveillance of U.S. citizens by the federal government.

In his bid, McFadden has already lined up support from prominent GOP figures including former U.S. senators Norm Coleman and Rod Grams. He raised more than $750,000 for his campaign in the month of June, an early sign that he hoped to compete with Franken?s proven strength as a political fundraiser.

Both McFadden and Abeler have said they would pursue the official GOP endorsement for the Senate race, but both said they might still run in next August?s primary without it.

Ortman was less definitive: ?I intend to win the endorsement. I?m not going to run against the Republican Party of Minnesota,? she said. But she declined to clarify whether that meant she?d end her campaign if she doesn?t win the endorsement, which will be conferred at a party convention next summer.

Washington and Wahlberg misfire in bloody '2 Guns'

This image released by Universal Pictures shows Denzel Washington, left, and Mark Wahlberg in a scene from "2 Guns." (AP Photo/Universal Pictures, Patti Perret)

Patti Perret, Patti Perret

"2 GUNS" ? ?? ? Denzel Washington, Mark Wahlberg, Paula Patton, Edward James Olmos, Bill Paxton, James Marsden; R (violence throughout, language and brief nudity); in general release

Denzel Washington teams up with that King of Chemistry, Mark Wahlberg, in "2 Guns," a jokey-bloody action comedy that could use more jokes and less blood.

Wahlberg's Icelandic accomplice, "Contraband" director Baltasar Korm?kur, manages little flash in this utterly generic double-and-triple-crossing tale of agents for competing agencies mixed up with drug lords, DEA stings, the CIA and "Naval Intelligence."

It's based on graphic novels (aka comic books), so don't overthink it.

Washington is Bobby, a border country smuggler/drug dealer trying to do business with Papi Greco (Edward James Olmos), a Mexican drug kingpin.

Stig (Wahlberg) is Bobby's mouthy, trigger-happy sidekick, the one who cracks that Papi looks "like a Mexican Albert Einstein," who stuffs his face with Mexican fried chicken as he yells at the cruelty of Mexican henchmen who shoot at the heads of chickens buried up to their necks for target practice.

For some reason, Bobby and Stig have been in business together for months. For some other reason, neither has figured out that the other is a federal agent of some sort. And for some silly third reason, they ignore their own advice ? "Never rob a bank across from a diner that has the best doughnuts in three counties."

It's a movie of unsurprising revelations, betrayals, agencies that double-cross their own agents and Paula Patton naked. She plays Denzel's DEA control agent.

Bill Paxton's a sadist who doesn't have to explain which government agency he works for as he drawls through assorted brutal interrogations, trying to track down the bank robbery cash.

James Marsden plays the Navy guy in inappropriate uniforms every time he debriefs his agent, Stig. He was cast because he's the same height as Wahlberg. Olmos took his part just for the scene where he gets to sermonize about CIA efforts to keep Mexico "corrupt and poor."

Bobby and Stig fight, draw blood and crash trucks into one another. Until they learn trust. Until the "p-word," partner, comes up.

"Like ebony and ivory!"

The amusing stuff works so much better than the mayhem, which also has the occasional amusing moment. Stig gets the drop on a henchman by sliding between his legs.

A lot of plot is worked through, a lot of stuff blows up and a lot of cars are stolen, raced, crashed and shot up. And people die. Lots of them.

And 100 minutes later, we're all done, and left craving a much better movie than "2 Guns" managed to be. That, and doughnuts.

"2 Guns" is rated R for violence throughout, language and brief nudity; running time: 107 minutes.

All work and no play makes my smartphone something something - Talk Mobile

There was a time when the smartphone was a tool of the businessman. The BlackBerrys and Treos and Windows Mobile smartphones were connected corporate networks - and often issued by those corporations. Over the last several years that has changed dramatically, with smartphones becoming the province of the consumer.

So prevalent has smartphone usage become among the general public that corporations are beginning to perform a 180 on smartphone policy. They're increasingly comfortable with you hooking up your personal device to their secured corporate network.

Does that mean we need a new breed of device, something that can balance the needs of the personal user and the business user? Or do we already have the smartphones and tablets that can do that? And how do you manage the distraction of the personal at work and the work at home? Would we be better off just shoving the phone into a drawer throughout the day, or is there benefit to being able to pick it up and get in a quick Facebook check?

Navigating the world of smartphones and business, work and personal, isn't the easiest thing, but there's got to be a solution, right?

Abandoned US College Student Drank Own Urine, Hallucinated, 'Screamed' Over Four Days In Windowless DEA Cell

REUTERS/Jonathon Burch

Interior of a solitary confinement cell at a new detention centre is pictured at the U.S. Bagram Air Base, north of Kabul November 15, 2009.

A 25-year-old college student who has reached a $4.1 million settlement with the US government after he was abandoned in a windowless cell for more than four days without food or water, has described his ordeal.

Daniel Chong said he drank his own urine to stay alive, hallucinated that agents were trying to poison him with gases through the vents, and tried to carve a farewell message to his mother in his arm.

Chong was taken into custody during a drug raid and placed in the cell in April 2012 by a police officer authorised to perform Drug Enforcement Administration work. The officer told Chong he would not be charged and said, "'Hang tight, we'll come get you in a minute,'" Mr Iredale said.

The door to the five-by-ten-foot cell did not reopen for four-and-a-half days.

Justice Department spokeswoman Allison Price confirmed the settlement was reached for $4.1 million but declined to answer other questions. The DEA didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

"I didn't just sit there quietly. I was kicking the door yelling. I even put some shoestrings, shoelaces through the crack of the door for visual signs. I didn't stay still, no, I was screaming," said Mr Chong.

It remained unclear how the situation occurred, and no one has been disciplined, said Eugene Iredale, an attorney for Chong, The Justice Department's inspector general is investigating.

"We hope that at some point there can be at least the individual attribution of responsibility for what happened and some kind of appropriate administrative sanction if nothing more than to rebuke the suggestion that when you put someone in a holding cell without food or water, you should let them out before five days at best," said Mr Iredale.

Mr Chong, now an economics student at the University of California, San Diego, said he planned to buy his parents a house.
