Mobile and Social:
The Future of News
BY LEWIS D’VORKIN
Very little catches me o guard in the digital space.
Then Richard Sherman, the Seattle Seahawks’ defen-
sive back, mouthed o in a postgame victory interview.
Overnight a story about him on Forbes.com achieved
blockbuster status. Millions read it, nearly 80% arriving
from social networks. More than half our total trac
that day was via mobile devices, predominantly smart-
phones. I witnessed the future: social and mobile unit-
ing to drive the news business.

I shouldn’t have been surprised. Check out these
graphics. Our mobile visits (all visits, not just unique
visits) hit 25 million in December (one-third of all site
trac), moving in
lockstep with social
trac, at 10 mil-
lion visits. The exact
social split between
mobile and desktop is
hard to break down.
We do know that
two-thirds of Twitter
trac often comes
from mobile devices.
Social media is the
new portal—friends
relying on friends
to tell them what
matters. A report
from eMarketer, an
industry publication,
sheds some light on
the social/mobile
connection. Nearly 70% of females and 56% of males
ages 25 to 49 engage with social media via smartphones
(both groups spend far less time on tablets). Over the
past three years both groups played a significant role in
driving our digital audience sharply higher.
The second chart, from a new comScore multi-
platform report, also points to the mobile juggernaut.

The light blue bars represent mobile domestic unique
monthly visitors (for Forbes.com 9 million were exclu-
sively mobile) and the darker blue bars desktop users.
No surprise what’s next: the coming mobile ad rush.

tration’s Big Government agenda.
To add insult to injury, the new
IRS commissioner has decreed that
the agency will pay $62 million in
bonuses, declaring, “I firmly believe
that this investment in our employ-
ees will directly benefit taxpayers
and the tax system.”
The unending changes the White
House has unilaterally made to Obama-
Care have been well documented.
The ways in which the EPA has
waged its jihad against the eastern coal indus-
try has also been well documented—and sci-
ence be damned. Forbes.com columnist Larry
Bell cites a flagrant example of the EPA’s ignor-
ing inconvenient science: “A group within EPA’s
own Science Advisory Board (SAB) determined
that the studies upon which that regulation
[setting CO
2
-emission limits for new power
plants] was based had never been responsibly

peer reviewed and that there was no evidence
that those limits can be accomplished using
available technology.”
The EPA is also set to ban production and
sale of 80% of current wood-burning stoves.
Who knows what aroused its ire against these
innocuous devices? But this will impose a real
hardship on people who live in remote areas,
such as much of Alaska. The EPA has arbitrarily
decided that stoves cannot emit more than 12
micrograms of fine particulate emissions per
cubic meter of air. To put that silly limit in per-
spective, Bell notes that “secondhand tobacco
smoke in a closed car can expose a person to
3,000–4,000 micrograms” per cubic meter.
By what authority did President Obama
decree an increase in the minimum wage for
workers on federal contracts? A clause in a 1931

FACT & COMMENT — STEVE FORBES
FORBES
pRESidEnt OBAMA
i’M tHE lAw
BY STEVE FORBES, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
“With all thy getting, get understanding”
One questiOn congressional
and presidential candidates should
be asked is how we should go about
restoring the rule of law to our fed-
eral government. Not even during

the world wars of the last century
was the executive branch as brazen
in assuming sweeping and unlegis-
lated powers, changing laws without
the consent of the legislative branch
and ignoring laws it didn’t like.
Lawsuits are certainly one pos-
sible avenue to take, but a slow one—which is
what the White House is counting on. It will do
what it wants, and by the time an unfavorable
decision is handed down, it will have done many
other things. It will also find ways to circumvent
such a decision or just ignore it altogether.
How will the Administration act when, as is
likely, the Supreme Court delivers an adverse
ruling concerning the President’s appointment
of members to the National Labor Relations
Board when the Senate wasn’t technically in
recess? Obama’s appointees went on to make
rulings that were harmful to business. Of course,
the Administration will promise to comply and
will then pull who knows what cards it has up its
sleeve to make an end-run around the decision.
The IRS got caught singling out conservative
groups for harassment—and nothing was done.
The President, with a straight face, told Fox
News’ Bill O’Reilly that there wasn’t a “smidgen”
of evidence of any corruption, and the Justice
Department has made clear it’s deep-sixing any
serious probe. But even worse is the fact that

the IRS is readying regulation that will make it
legal to deny tax exemptions to predominantly
conservative groups, while it turns a blind eye
to organizations more friendly to the Adminis-

decadence order the chocolate pot de crème.
piece of legislation that innocuously
stated that the President should
ensure that federal contracts are ad-
ministered eciently!
While we can take heart from the
upcoming NLRB case, the courts are
going to have to be more aggressive
in going after executive branch abus-
es. Since the late 1930s federal courts
have been very solicitous regarding
acts of the federal government. An
egregious example was the court’s
acquiescence to the raw, politics-lad-
en way the Administration unilater-
ally handled the bankruptcy of GM

and Chrysler, shafting bondholders
and giving sweetheart deals to the
United Auto Workers union.
Federal judges should also con-
sider throwing out such laws as
Dodd-Frank, in which the language
is so vague and ambiguous that it
puts immense power in the hands of
imperious regulators who are the ones
deciding what the rules really mean. A
healthy start would be to rule uncon-
stitutional the new Consumer Finan-
cial Protection Bureau, which has no
accountability to Congress and can
throw out regulatory thunderbolts,
with very restricted opportunity for
any judicial review. The agency gets
its money not from Congress but from
the Federal Reserve’s printing press.
Following the 2014 elections the
Senate, which will then be Republi-
can-controlled, can hold serious hear-
ings on what this White House has
been doing and can slash the budgets
of recalcitrant departments and agen-
cies (the GOP will also increase its
majority in the House).
The election losses the Democrats
will suer will chasten a good part of
the party, and many will work with

Republicans to punish these breach-
es of trust by the White House. After
all, wise Democrats will know that
Republicans may well win the presi-
dency in 2016, and they won’t want
the new Chief Executive bending the
rule of law the way President Obama
has done out of habit.
The late, famed English author of
1984
and Animal Farm would be as-
tonished that the 1984 phenomenon
of Newspeak—freedom is slavery;
ignorance is strength—is thriving
today, not only in authoritarian/
totalitarian regimes, which is what
he expected, but also in the world’s
leading democracy, the U.S.
Politicians are always trying to
put the best face on unpleasant oc-
currences—what we call spin. But
nothing comes close to the White
House response to a study from the
Congressional Budget Oce that by
2024 ObamaCare will cost the econ-
omy the equivalent of 2.5 million jobs.
Hallelujah!, proclaimed White
House mouthpiece Jay Carney. This
is great news because it means peo-
ple won’t be in jobs they don’t really

like. Now they can dream of better
things and, possessing health insur-
ance that’s being paid for by working
taxpayers, can search for something
better without having to worry about
access to medical care.
Unemployment is liberating!
Employment is wage slavery!
It’s no surprise that the New York
Times
obediently parroted this piece
of Obamaspeak, declaring, “That
is mostly a good thing, a liberating
result of the law. Of course, Republi-
cans immediately tried to brand the
findings as ‘devastating’ and stark
evidence of President Obama’s health
care reform as a failure and a job kill-
er. It is no such thing. … The [CBO]
report is about the choices workers
can make when they are no longer
tethered to an employer because of
health benefits.”
Maybe the Times can mull these
possible Newspeak slogans: “The
Internet is good for newspapers!”
“No newspapers means liberation
for forests! More forests means less
global warming!”
I hadn’t read Harry Dolan before, for

which I’m thankful, as this is a pre-
quel to his previous two mysteries.
Now I can read about David Malone,
who apparently later changes his
name to David Loogan, in chronolog-
ical order. Dolan’s writing is excel-
lent, and readers can look forward
to his future eorts the way millions

F
of us look forward to the ever more
superb novels of Harlan Coben, Mi-
chael Connelly, Jonathan Kellerman
and Sue Grafton.
David Malone operates a home-
inspection business for prospective
buyers in Rome, N.Y. Engaged to a
med student whom he discovers has
two-timed him, Malone walks out
and soon chances upon an auto acci-
dent. Before you know it, he is living
with the driver, a beautiful law stu-
dent, at her spartan apartment. She
has a nasty bruise on her face and
won’t tell Malone how she got it.
Days later the law student is
brutally murdered, and Malone
becomes a suspect. He stays at the
dead woman’s place and finds himself
investigating the killing to the intense

annoyance of the lead detective.
Malone’s seeming meddling earns
him a savage blow to the kidneys from
a friend of the detective. Other kill-
ings soon occur, and suspects mul-
tiply. These
are a vividly
memorable
lot, among
them the de-
tective; two
cousins, who
reek of evil; a
professor, who
works to free
prisoners be-
lieved to have
been wrong-
fully convicted; the creepy, horny
grandson of the dead girl’s landlady;
and a stool pigeon, who won his get-
out-of-jail card by claiming to have
heard the confession of an arrested
schoolteacher suspected of murder-
ing his wife. Other characters are also
distinctly drawn.
The twists and turns flow eort-
lessly, including Malone’s ex-fiancée
trying to win him back. Most of the
book is Malone’s first-person nar-

rative, but interspersed are chilling
chapters from the killer’s perspective
as he goes about his bloody work.

Women Need to Take an Active Role
In Retirement Planning
W
hen you envision retirement, what do
you see? If you’re a married woman,
you probably picture your life in
retirement as part of a couple, enjoying many
years together. However, in reality, most women
will spend a portion of their golden years
without their spouse.
“Even if women think they’ve done
a good job of planning for retire-
ment as part of a couple, their plan
may not be designed to financially
support them as a single person in
retirement,” says Rebekah Barsch,
Northwestern Mutual vice president
of market strategy. “And unfortu-
nately, that’s something most women
will have to face, since the vast majority of
women who remain married into retirement
are likely to outlive their spouse.”
Whether by choice, divorce or the death of a
spouse, Barsch says women can better prepare
themselves now for the financial challenge of
being single at some point in the future by

taking these steps:
Actively participate in planning: If you’re
currently married, don’t delegate retirement
income planning to your spouse. Establish a
relationship with your financial advisor and
become familiar with the details of your
retirement income plan.
Rebekah baRsch
VICE PRESIDENT OF MARKET STRATEGY
NORTHWESTERN MUTUAL
Understand your assets: According
to Barsch, women going through
divorce tend to underestimate the
future value of assets. A financial
advisor can help ensure your assets
are shared equitably. Married couples,
particularly those with life insurance
and defined contribution retirement
plans like 401(k)s, should carefully
consider their options for creating
income in retirement.
Plan realistically for expenses:
While it might seem like a retired
single woman’s expenses would
be less than those for a couple,
you may actually incur additional
expenses for things like health care
or professional services.
Make arrangements for long-term
care: Couples need to plan ahead

for long-term care to avoid becom-
ing dependent on their children
or other family members. “The
best present my parents ever gave
me was planning ahead for their
long-term care needs,” says Barsch.
“When their health began to decline,
I don’t know how I would have sup-
ported them emotionally, physically
and financially. But because their
financial and health care needs were
being met, it was possible for me to
concentrate on what I was uniquely
qualified to do—provide love and
support as a daughter.”
By becoming an active participant in
financial planning early, women can
free themselves to focus on what’s
really important: the people they care
about most.

In January Dropbox closed a round of funding
that valued the cloud storage company at just
under $10 billion, and FORBES estimates that its
cofounder and chief executive, 30, owns more
than a 10% stake in the company, which makes
him a billionaire. He told us in 2011 that he started
Dropbox when “I wanted to live the dream and felt
stuck eating Hot Pockets.”
FACEBOOK’S SHERYL SANDBERG
She became Facebook’s chief operating ocer six
years ago after turning down Mark Zuckerberg’s
first job oer because a relative told her any man
would hold out for a better deal. Now, at 44, she is
one of the youngest female billionaires in the world

and one of only a handful—like Tory Burch, Oprah
Winfrey and Spanx’s Sara Blakely—who made it
themselves rather than inheriting it. It’s her equity,
not her $300,000-a-year salary, that has made
her so rich. At the time of Facebook’s May 2012
public oering she owned more than 38 million
restricted stock units, about half of which have
been converted to stock. To date she’s sold o
more than 9 million of those shares.
RINGLING BROS.’ KENNETH FELD
He grew up under the big top and took over his
family’s company, which owns Barnum & Bailey
Circus, in the mid-1980s. Since then he has
transformed it into a juggernaut that presents
Disney on Ice
and monster truck rallies; it had an
estimated $1 billion in revenue last year. At 65
he becomes the world’s second circus-industry
billionaire, after Cirque du Soleil’s Guy Laliberté.
