Nebraska volleyball notes: Jordan Larson and the 'B side' of practice; No. 1 recruit picks USC
When the Nebraska volleyball team goes six-on-six, the "B side" of the court has a few of the former men’s college volleyball players who assist with practice while also getting something of a coaching internship. Nebraska coach John Cook doesn’t know yet if Larson will play when the Huskers go six-on-six over the final two months of the season. She’s having coffee with them and meeting with them and watching video with them. An NCAA rule change this year allowed college volleyball teams to add a third paid assistant coach, when the sport previously allowed for one volunteer assistant coach. Going to USC will put Mullen in the same city as her older sister, Ashley, who is a setter on the UCLA volleyball team.

EarthTalk: Links found between pollution and mental health
Dear EarthTalk: Are there any proven links between exposure to pollution and mental health problems? But some researchers have begun to find links between increases in polluted air, water and soil and growing mental health problems throughout our society. Noise pollution's negative impact on mental health is compounded by its association with increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, which can further contribute to mental health problems. Consequently, these communities face a higher burden of mental health issues linked to pollution, exacerbating existing health disparities. Healthcare professionals should be trained to recognize the potential role of pollution in mental health problems.
