No.

On Thursday, President Obama nominated Janet Yellen to become chairwoman of the Federal Reserve. The confirmation would make her the first woman head of the central bank.

It was also reported Thursday that CNN correspondent Jessica Yellin — no relation to Janet, obviously — is leaving the cable news network.

Yellin was previously a White House correspondent for CNN.
