Recycling Bins
Has anyone noticed that the only vendor to sell NYC-certified curbside recycling bins is Home Depot? That's called a Sole Source contract and the only reason for its use, as defined by a reliable internet search, is as follows:

"A sole source contract is a non-competitive agreement awarded directly to a single supplier without a standard bidding process. It's typically used only when that specific vendor is the only one capable of providing the required product or service, such as with proprietary technology or extreme emergencies."

Those bins are the 50 gallon blue and green wheeled models affixed with an official NYC Department of Sanitation seal. They've been sold out for weeks at Home Depot, and failure by building owners to comply putting them out on designated neighborhood recycling days are immediately summoned and fined by the Department of Sanitation.&nbsp;
This is simply unconscionable.
Does anyone smell a rigged city contract?

CALLING ALL CAREGIVERS 
Our FREE YMCA Caring for Caregivers support group program is now entering its second year, and we are looking forward to seeing new and returning members in our meetings at the Long Island City YMCA and for other in-person and online events this year.
In our program, the focus is on the caregivers.
Caregivers often give up a lot in their own lives, while caring for others. Many caregivers feel strong emotions due to caregiving pressures. 
We support you to take care of yourself better AND get more assistance in your caregiving role from state, city, and community resources.
Then you can feel better about your caregiving, minimize burnout, and feel more fulfilled in your own life.

Inside the legendary Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square, discover an experience where music isn’t just heard… but felt September 11th through the 26th.
Rock Never Dies is a one-of-a-kind immersive theatrical event from American Immersion Theater, as seen on Shark Tank, that is part concert, part love story, and fully a magical journey. This groundbreaking production invites you to dine, drink, and fall headfirst into the soul of rock and roll.
Enjoy a full three-course meal inside the Magical Mystery Museum of Hard Rock, a place where music has power, memories come alive, and one life is changed forever every night. It’s an experience that inspires you to keep dreaming and march to the beat of your own drum.
At the heart of the story is Caroline, a young artist who’s lost hope and heart. As legendary music icons come to life around her, she’s forced to confront love, loss, and the courage to take the stage again. Along the way, you won’t just watch the story, but be part of it.
Created by award-winning, immersive visionary Scott Cramton, often called the Willy Wonka of Immersive Theater, this joyful, high-energy spectacle blends iconic rock anthems with romance, comedy, and electrifying audience interaction.
Whether you're on a date, in town on vacation, celebrating something special, or just chasing that feeling music used to give you, this is your night.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/161999/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>

White Collar Support Group Tuesday Night Speaker Series: Adam Bentley Clausen, Legacy Impact Group &amp; U.S. Sentencing Commission’s Impact Advisory Group, On Zoom, Tues., Sept. 29, 2026, 7 pm ET, 4 pm PT. Open to All!
Register: <a href="https://prisonist.org/resources/adam-bentley-clausen-legacy-impact-sentencing-commission/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://prisonist.org/resources/adam-bentley-clausen-legacy-impact-sentencing-commission/</a>
In 2001, at just 24 years old, Adam Bentley Clausen was sentenced to 213 years in federal prison with no possibility of parole — a punishment that meant he would die behind bars.
Today, the same man who once carried that sentence helps advise the very institution that writes the nation’s sentencing rules. His is one of the most remarkable transformation stories in American criminal justice.
Across more than two decades inside, Adam refused to let his circumstances define his character. He maintained a pristine disciplinary record for more than fifteen consecutive years,became a certified life coach, completed over 100 rehabilitation programs, and founded the first life-coaching program inside the federal Bureau of Prisons — training more than 100 incarcerated peer coaches and building the Core Four + Hope Coaching curriculum that now anchors his life’s work.On August 12, 2020, he was granted Compassionate Release under the First Step Act for his “extraordinary and compelling” record of rehabilitation.
In September 2025, Adam was appointed to the U.S. Sentencing Commission’s Sentencing Impact Advisory Group (SIAG) — a federal appointment through 2028 — where he advises the Commission on revising the federal sentencing guidelines and ensures the perspectives of people directly affected by federal sentences shape its research and policy. It is a rare kind of authority: a man once defined by a 213-year number now has a seat at the table where those numbers are decided. That same lived authority drives the Legacy Impact ecosystem he co-founded, including the offline-first, voice-first Legacy Impact AI Coach, which brings daily coaching in faith, family, fitness, and finance into corrections environments nationwide.
Adam has testified before the U.S. Sentencing Commission and House Judiciary staff, been profiled by the U.S. Department of Education, and partners with REFORM Alliance, Families Against Mandatory Minimums (FAMM), and the Aleph Institute — and is now working with Federal Bureau of Prisons leadership on a special project to transform the culture of the federal prisonsystem. Guided by faith and family alongside his wife, Rosanne “Ro” Clausen, Adam’s journey stands as living proof of what he tells every audience: that it is possible to rise, to rebuild, and to create a legacy of hope — no matter where you start.

This year’s theme, “The Smart Hustle: AI for Small Business,” will share best practices on how aspiring entrepreneurs can use AI in ways that are practical, accessible, and immediately useful – not as another technology buzzword, but as a tool that can help small business owners save time, reduce costs, improve marketing and operations, and compete more effectively. 
This event is open to students, alumni, and the community. Space is limited and registration is required. To learn more about sponsorships for our 2026 event, email <a href="mailto:KME@BerkeleyCollege.edu" rel="noopener" target="_blank">KME@BerkeleyCollege.edu</a>.
