OFFBEAT: University of Illinois Coach Alledgedly Does Something He Should Not Have Done
This is certainly offbeat news away from the depressing economic information we're being bombarded with. According to the Associated Press and Fan I.Q , a now former gymnastics coach at the University of Illinois was rumored, but not confirmed to have placed a camera in the women's gymnastic team's locker room.
Yikes! And he was the coach!
Why do that? If he wanted to date one of them, yes they're young but not that young, but reportedly so was he -- all in their 20s for the most part and well over 18 and in college -- just ask for a date. U.S.A Soccer star Brandy Chastain dated her coach and now they're married! It's not an unusual happening by any stretch in college -- sorry, it's not. And it's far better than dating a student who's class he teaches because he's not giving her a grade. Believe me, it happens more than you think. But this? WFT was he thinking? (If it's true; I hope not.)
Geez.

Obama Economic Team: Tim Geithner, Christine Rohmer, Lawrence Summers
President-Elect Barack Obama's just annouced his new economic team this morning : New York Federal Reserve head Tim Geithner as Treasury Secretary, UC Berkeley Professor Christine Rohmer as chair of his Council of Economic Advisers, and former Harvard President Lawrence Summers as head of National Economic Council.
Geithner and Summers have been much-talked about. Summers, even with his mistatements on women, is considered a bright and effective economic policy-maker. Geithner is so well respected on Wall Street that the Dow jumped 200 points after Friday's news leak of his selection as Treasury Secretary.
The surprise is Christine Rohmer, who's well-known in the San Francisco Bay Area as a professor of Economics at Cal-Berkeley. I personally met Professor Rohmer during my second year as a graduate student at UC Berkeley. I found her to be a delightful mix of the personable and the intellectual. A great mix to advance policy points and ideas. On that, Dr. Rohmer was well-regarded and popular with students, and I think if memory serves, won an award for teaching. The point is she can take complex economic matters and explain them in such a way that people can learn them.
