Every year from Oct. 18 to 24, Invisible Disabilities Week serves as a reminder that many disabilities are not immediately apparent and that small changes can make a big difference, says Donna MacNeil, chair of Northumberland Ferries’ accessibility committee in Nova Scotia.
MacNeil says she’s been reflecting on the company’s recent adoption of the Hidden Disability Sunflower Program, which helps people of all ages navigate travel more freely and with greater dignity.

Nevada erupts late to beat San José State 28–13 on homecoming - Nevada Sports Net
Nevada turned a close game into a 28–13 Homecoming win over San José State on Saturday at Mackay Stadium, scoring three second half touchdowns. The Spartans received the opening kickoff but went three-and-out after Nevada linebacker Dylan LaBarbera brought down quarterback Daniel Rolovich on third down. The Wolf Pack answered with a 16-play, 72-yard drive. Luke Duncan converted multiple third-and-long situations, and running back Herschel Turner broke off several strong runs before Duncan connected with wide receiver Marshaun Brown for a touchdown. After both teams traded quick possessions, Nevada opened the second quarter with the ball. San José State defensive back Jayden Robertson intercepted a deep pass from Duncan, but the turnover did not lead to points. The teams continued to exchange punts, and Nevada’s attempt to convert fourth-and-1 with a direct snap to Dominic Kelley was stopped for a loss. The Spartans moved into Nevada territory in the closing seconds of the first half, and Trajan Sinatra made a 27-yard field goal to cut the Wolf Pack’s lead to four. Neither offense found much momentum early in the second half.

Enjoy the World Series because all signs point to a lockout
For commissioner Rob Manfred and the owners he represents, it’s the other side of the coin. “It’s good for baseball to have two small markets like this,” Manfred said. “It shows that we leave a lot on the table in some of our smaller markets by not having them have an opportunity to compete on a regular basis.”Get 108 StitchesReceive the Globe's best reporting and commentary on the Red Sox every weekday. Enter EmailThe collective bargaining agreement expires on Dec. 1. Manfred has said the league will lock out players then to create more urgency at the bargaining table. Players Association chief Bruce Meyer doesn’t believe that’s necessary. “None of this has to be happening,” Meyer said. “The owners made a choice. They’re going to make a choice, presumably to lock the players out. They’re not required to do that. They’re apparently going to once again.”Meyer is the interim head of the union, taking the job in February after Tony Clark resigned amidst a scandal. He’s tasked with finding a way to make a deal without accepting a salary cap, something the Players Association has resisted for decades.
