Perry & Main Breaks Ground on Affordable Homes in Port Jefferson
*
VHB recently joined Conifer Realty, local officials, and community members to celebrate the groundbreaking of Perry & Main, a 100 percent affordable, mixed-use housing development in the Incorporated Village of Port Jefferson, New York. Located near the Port Jefferson train station, the projectis a key component of the Village's long-term vision to create a vibrant, transit-oriented district that expands housing options and supports local businesses.
Since 2021, VHB has partnered with Conifer, BHC Architects, CDC-Long Island, and the Village to advance Perry & Main from concept to construction. The 51-unit development will provide high-quality, affordable homes and ground-floor commercial space in a walkable setting, helping address the significant housing demand on Long Island while supporting economic revitalization. Demolition of existing structures will begin in the coming weeks, marking the next major step in transforming this underutilized site into a community asset.
VHB's integrated team delivered a full suite of services, including State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) compliance, civil engineering, entitlement support, and traffic and parking analyses to help move the project through the region's complex approvals process. VHB also provided Site Investigation & Remediation (SIR) support, landscape architecture, and assistance with the New York State Homes and Community Renewal (HCR) application process, including support for Conifer's Low-Income Housing Tax Credit submissions.
Throughout entitlements and permitting, VHB served as a strategic partner to Conifer and the Village, coordinating closely with municipal staff, the Planning Board, and local stakeholders. The project secured the necessary local approvals, and is now progressing through the building permit phase, with demolition and construction anticipated to begin this year.
For Louis Bekofsky, Managing Director of VHB's Long Island office, and a Port Jefferson resident, the groundbreaking was especially meaningful. "Perry & Main shows how affordable housing and transit-oriented development can work together to create lasting community value," said Louis. "By adding homes near the train station and supporting a more walkable mix of uses, this project will contribute to the continued vitality of Port Jefferson."

A new point of presence (PoP) site expands the global reach of F5 Distributed Cloud Services, a purpose-built cloud-native solution that connects and secures distributed applications, ensuring high performance and carrier-grade reliability
SEOUL - F5 (NASDAQ: FFIV) announced a new point of presence (PoP) in South Korea, expandingits global network to help enterprises in the region secure and deliver applications across cloud, on-premises, and edge environments.
This expansion directly addresses South Korea's rapidly growing cybersecurity challenges. According to the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA), the number of reported corporate cybersecurity incidents in South Korea reached 2,383 in 2025, up 26.3% from the previous year. DDoS attacks saw the sharpest increase, more than doubling year-on-year to 588 cases. Addressing these challenges, the F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform aims to help businesses strengthen their security posture and ensure consistent protection across increasingly distributed applications.
"With this new PoP in South Korea, we're bringing security and delivery capabilities closer to our customers' applications and users-helping reduce latency, improve resilience, and ensure consistent protection across increasingly distributed environments," said Joseph Lee, Country Manager, F5 Korea. "As Korean enterprises accelerate digital transformation across cloud, edge, and on-premises environments, they need more than just visibility-they need consistent security and policy enforcement wherever their applications run. F5 Distributed Cloud Services enable organizations to achieve that, helping them operate with greater confidence in a rapidly evolving threat landscape."
F5 PoPs are interconnected through a dedicated, redundant private backbone with extensive peering and transit connections, enabling direct, high-performance connectivity across cloud providers, enterprise environments, and telecom networks.
This architecture allows customers to run latency-sensitive workloads closer to users, offload traffic efficiently, and extend application delivery and security services across cloud, edge, and on-premises environments.
Built on this foundation, F5 Distributed Cloud Services deliver integrated capabilities-including routing, load balancing, and multi-layer application security-through a globally distributed architecture that enables consistent security and operational control across environments.
These capabilities are supported by integrated, multi-layer security natively across every PoP, pairing low latency and data sovereignty with resilient protection across applications and infrastructure. This combines dynamic DNS configuration for automated traffic management with global DDoS defense and advanced network security. Our AI-powered WAF combines global threat intelligence with AI-driven analysis to detect and block unknown and zero-day exploits across hybrid cloud environments.
Together, these capabilities enable organizations to apply consistent security policies and protect applications wherever they run-across cloud, on-premises, and edge environments.
All F5 PoPs are hosted in leading colocation facilities with strict physical security controls to ensure platform integrity and reliability.
"By expanding our global network into South Korea, we are helping customers meet data sovereignty and regulatory requirements while delivering secure, high-performance digital services," said Adam Judd, Senior Vice President of APCJ, F5. "This investment reinforces our commitment to enabling organizations to simplify operations and apply consistent security and connectivity across their entire application estate."

(NASDAQ: FFIV) is the global leader that delivers and secures every app. Backed by three decades of expertise, F5 has built the industry's premier platform-F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform (ADSP)-to deliver and secure every app, every API, anywhere: on-premises, in the cloud, at the edge, and across hybrid, multicloud environments.

The Atlantic Launches New Weekly Video Podcast, The Permanent Questions With David Brooks
*
Today The Atlantic is launching The Permanent Questions, a new video podcast hosted by staff writer David Brooks about the fundamental questions of human life that every generation-and every individual-must attempt to answer. In new episodes publishing every Sunday, David will engage thinkers, writers, and artists in conversations about what makes us human, what giveslife meaning, and how we can build richer relationships and a more just society.
For the first episode, available today, David is joined by Meghan Sullivan, the Wilsey Family College Professor of Philosophy at the University of Notre Dame, to consider what it means to live a good life. In an introduction to the show, David says: "There are a lot of shows about politics and business and health and tech, but there aren't enough about the really big questions of life."
The podcast builds on David's decades of writing about political, cultural, moral, and social issues. David joined The Atlantic's staff after many years as a contributing writer, and has recently written about the crucial lessons for the Democratic Party; "The People Who Will Thrive in the AI Age," about why people's relationship to mental effort will differentiate them; how "History Is Running Backwards" and why reactionaries are taking over the world; and "Something Big Is Happening on Campus," on how plenty is going wrong in American higher education, but a lot is also going right.
The launch of The Permanent Questions is part of a continued surge of audio and video at The Atlantic, which has doubled its number of weekly shows, podcast staff, and audio revenue in the past year. Since 2025, The Atlantic has launched the video podcasts The David Frum Show and Galaxy Brain with Charlie Warzel, and this past summer expanded its flagship show, Radio Atlantic-co-hosted by Hanna Rosin and Adam Harris, with a weekly Monday video episode hosted by Adam.
The podcast is produced by The Atlantic and made possible by support from Yale University, where David is also a presidential senior fellow at Yale Jackson School of Global Affairs. Episodes of The Permanent Questions will be released each Sunday. Viewers can subscribe to watch on The Atlantic's YouTube channel or wherever they get their podcasts. Please reach out with any questions or requests.

CHICAGO, Illinois, Sept. 13 -- Boeing, an aerospace company and a manufacturer of commercial jetliners and defense, space and security systems, posted the following news release:
* * *
Satellite constellation set to level up service
*
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., Sept. 13, 2026 -The final three Boeing [NYSE: BA] O3b mPOWER satellites, F11, F12 and F13, have joined 10 already in orbit following a successful launch from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
The launch completes the 13-satellite O3b mPOWER constellation, which is designed to boost global connectivity for mobile users, governments andother customers around the world.
* O3b mPOWER F11, F12 and F13 satellites prepare to take off and eventually join the previous 10 satellites in space.
The milestone enables partner company SES to significantly expand high-speed connectivity and enhance digital services to meet growing demand for bandwidth. Active customers using O3b mPOWER's network capabilities include cruise lines, government organizations, civil entities, mobile operators and commercial airlines.
"This launch marks a defining milestone for SES as we complete the O3b mPOWER constellation and further strengthen our MEO capabilities," said Adel Al-Saleh, CEO of SES. "More importantly, it reinforces our ability to deliver resilient, secure and scalable connectivity for customers around the world, helping governments, enterprises, cloud providers and mobility customers meet their most critical needs. As customer demands continue to evolve, SES is focused on building smarter, more integrated solutions that bring together the strengths of multiple technologies and orbits to deliver seamless connectivity worldwide."
Boeing's software-defined payload technology enables the satellites to dynamically route bandwidth, focus beam power and adjust capacity in real time to match evolving connectivity needs.
The system is designed to support areas where broadband is limited, including helping students in remote communities connect online for schoolwork and supporting physicians in small villages with improved telehealth services.
"Technology is at its best when it has a direct line-of-sight to human impact," said Ryan Reid, president of Boeing Satellite Systems International. "Whether we are helping a student in a remote community access digital learning, supporting local healthcare with telehealth, or keeping our military teams safely connected, this constellation proves what our workforce can accomplish when they focus on customer priority and execution excellence."
O3b mPOWER also serves as a technical baseline for defense systems Boeing's satellite teams continue to develop for national security customers. Boeing is using a hardened version of this space-proven software-defined payload architecture for the U.S. Space Force's Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS) and Evolved Strategic SATCOM (ESS) systems.
By combining O3b mPOWER's high-performance payload with its standardized, scalable 702X platform, Boeing created a dual-use satellite architecture that can be built and integrated quickly and consistently for different orbits.
"With O3b mPOWER's initial fleet successfully in space, our standardized 702X technology has officially established its on-orbit performance baseline," Reid said. "This milestone gives our customers the schedule credibility and reliability of an active production line, minimizing risk while rapidly scaling crucial capabilities for the joint force."
O3b mPOWER F11, F12 and F13 are forecast to enter service in mid 2027 after completing orbit raising and initialization activities.
A leading global aerospace company and top U.S. exporter, Boeing develops, manufactures and services commercial airplanes, defense products and space systems for customers in more than 150 countries. Our U.S. and global workforce and supplier base drive innovation, economic opportunity, sustainability and community impact. Boeing is committed to fostering a culture based on our core values of safety, quality and integrity.
