The Wall Street Journal says the letter details promises made by the Yahoo! board that were never fulfilled and the current board is unfit to remain. Oil prices slide for a second day. Energy prices fell after the world continues to drown in excess supply. U.S. oil stockpiles skyrocketed by 9.4 million barrels to 532.5 million barrels, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. That number was roughly 3 times what analysts were expecting. There are new details about the bombing in Brussels and the connection to the Paris attack last fall. Authorities have identified 5 suspects that were involved in Tuesday's terror attacks.
