Mobile is different. Gaps in the networks, hardware and software used separates the mobile world from the desktop world. But for web performance, these differences are NOT equally important.
In this presentation, we'll dig into these differences with real numbers, helping us focus on the ones that really matter for performance. We'll review old and new data on where the mobile difference comes into play, bust some myths, and end with some conclusions and takeaways for what you can do about it.

American Airlines last week began taking apart a 900-pane stained glass panel at John F. Kennedy International Airport. The airline said removing it in one piece and storing it would cost millions. "It's not necessarily the outcome that everyone might have hoped for," an American spokesman said. "But any solutions were extraordinarily expensive, and no one would be able to do that."

The new B & B Theatres - Grain Valley Marketplace 8 in Grain Valley, Missouri opens to the public today, and they are celebrating by offering customers a free small popcorn with the purchase of a movie ticket at any Kansas City area B & B location.
The eight-screen movie theater is located at 1131 North East McQuerry Road in Grain Valley, which is just East of Kansas City. According to the theater's web site, one of those screens will be a "B & B Grand Screen" which appears to be a big-screen concept similar to Regal's RPX, AMC's ETX, Cinemark's XD, and others. It lists a "wall-to-wall screen" but no size is given, Dolby 7.1 surround sound, high-backed rocker stadium-style seating, and a Digital Cinema Projection system capable of 2D and 3D presentations.
An article published by The Examiner about the theater's opening mentions a special promotion for the first visitors tonight:
The first 100 people in the door Wednesday night will receive a free prize pack as well as a free 46-ounce popcorn.
B & B Theatres is celebrating the grand opening of the theater by offering a free small popcorn with the purchase of a movie ticket at any Kansas City area B & B location. The promotion starts today and goes until 12/22/2012. For more details, please see the flyer on B & B's web site (PDF).
B & B Theatres has 32 movie theaters in Florida, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas. Two new 12-screen locations are expected to open in 2013: the Wylie 12 at Woodbridge Centre in Wylie/Murphy, Texas that is expected to open in April and Waynesville/St. Robert, Missouri that is scheduled to open in "Summer 2013."

After a tremulous time during the credit crisis and resulting Great Recession, commercial real estate bounced back and became one of the better performing asset classes, over the last two years. Funds like the SPDR Dow Jones REIT (NYSE:RWR) saw their assets swell, as investors have flocked to hard assets and strong dividend plays. Now, in the face of once again slowing global growth and after so much sector out performance, property owners have the task of differentiating themselves from the pack. Luckily, real estate owners and REITs that choose a sustainable path are seeing green, in more ways than one.
Investopedia Markets: Explore the best one-stop source for financial news, quotes and insights.
Sustainability Becoming Key
Property owners who embrace energy efficiency and sustainability options, could be the real winners, versus their peers, in a slowing economy. Amid the rising costs for energy and various raw materials, environmentally sustainable buildings are often more cost-effective for landlords and tenants, even after factoring in the premium to construct or retrofit buildings and the higher rents they demand. A report by SmartMarket estimates that green buildings can reduce operating costs by 8 to 9% and increase property values by over 7%. In addition, green buildings improve overall returns on investment by 6.6%. (For related reading, see How To Calculate ROI For Real Estate Investments.)
These energy cost savings have become a driving force for tenants demanding green spaces. A February survey by CoreNet Global and Jones Lang LaSalle (NYSE:JLL) shows a building's sustainability strategy is extremely important for corporate executives, when considering office location. Overall, more than 92% of leasing and corporate executives consider sustainability criteria, when choosing office locations. Half of them would be willing to pay higher rents for that "green leased space." Landlords are often able to charge 3% more for these spaces and see occupancy rates climb by 3.5%, versus non-green buildings.
Perhaps Doug Gatlin, vice president of market development at the U.S. Green Building Council, said it best in a recent interview with Forbes, "If it's not green, in the near future it won't be considered Class A space. Green is a must-have. It's the best way to attract key tenants and retain them."
Adding the LEEDing REITs
For property owners, the financial motivation to add efficiency measures to their buildings is there. Increasing demand from tenants, coupled with higher rents and building values, makes the choice clear. Currently, around 20% of the new space being acquired or built by U.S. REITs is green rated and about 40% of REITs hold some type of green property. By honing in on these REITs, as opposed to making broad bets in funds like the iShares Cohen & Steers Realty Majors (NYSE:ICF), investors could see better gains.
Office REIT Liberty Property Trust (NYSE:LRY), has currently over 7 million square feet of LEED certified space and 59 Energy Star certified buildings, nationwide. CEO Bill Hankowsky believes that a variety of green initiatives "are a long-term key component of our strategy" and will ultimately boost shareholder value. Shares of Liberty currently yield 6.1%. Similarly, office REITs Boston Properties (NYSE:BXP) and Brookfield Properties Corporation (NYSE:BPO), offer extensive access to green buildings.
Aside from being the largest industrial property REIT with properties spanning 22 countries, ProLogis (NYSE:PLD) is also one of the largest operators of green buildings, in the world. All new construction for the REIT is LEED certified and the company has partnered with GE (NYSE:GE) to add solar installations to its buildings rooftops. Overall, ProLogis has 27 rooftop solar installations, worldwide, and generates 13.5 megawatts of solar energy.
The Bottom Line
Along with rising energy costs, interest in energy efficient office buildings is also increasing. Those REITs that embrace sustainability will ultimately be the leaders in future Class A space. For investors, betting on these firms now could be the key to real estate success. The previous firms, along with Corporate Office Properties Trust (NYSE:OFC), make ideal selections.

Cristo Rey high school Sacramento helped me to reach out to my community. They also became an important part of my life as I attended the school back in 2009. When I first went into the school and started my first class, I thought, 'Wow! the class size is so small and everyone seems so friendly!'. As I got involved with the school, I learned that I too can be a leader when I was in charge of my first event. I loved the experiences Cristo Rey high school gives to their students, and I as a student who is now Senior that will be graduating in 2013, appreciates how hard they work for us. Though Cristo Rey high school does not look as appealing as it seems, the inside of the school has a totally different vibe once you step onto the campus and get to know the teachers and students here at Cristo Rey high school Sacramento.
