Greenlight Capital sues Apple over cash hoard plan
Greenlight Capital led by David Einhorn sues Apple in New York federal court opposing a move to restrict preferred stock issuance. Einhorn argues the change would block a path to return cash to shareholders as Apple, worth $137 billion in cash, faces a 35 percent stock decline.

Postal Service plans five day mail deliveries nationwide
The Postal Service proposes cutting Saturday delivery to homes and businesses while keeping Saturday post office box delivery and six day package delivery. The plan aims to save about 2 billion annually amid a 15.9 billion loss blamed on a 2006 retiree health benefit law.
