Icahn Edges Closer to Yahoo Control
    I didn't see this coming. Yahoo has actually 
given 
  in to corporate raider Carl Icahn, and is allowing him and two others of 
  his choosing to join the Yahoo board. Icahn now controls three out of the 11 
  seats.
As owner of 5 percent of Yahoo shares, it makes sense to have Icahn on the 
  board. Then again, he's actively trying to dismantle the company. If I were 
  the Yahoo chairman, I'd treat Icahn like a Mexican jalapeno and steer clear!
