TODAY'S STORIES FROM AROUND THE BAY

-City of San Jose to sell falcon eggs to raise extra cash

-Beer hall employee inadvertently leaves prototype barstool at Apple headquarters

-Former Mercury-News Executive Editor David Yarnold has been named president of the National Audubon Society.  Yarnold admits, "Before I got this job, I was familiar with only two birds: the owl, which is very wise and goes 'hoot hoot,' and that blue Froot Loops bird."  Yarnold says he studies bird flashcards for at least an hour each day.

-A Los Altos startup that manufactured a computer keyboard that allowed men to type with their penis has declared bankruptcy.  The firm (no pun intended) says its inability to engineer a workable solution to the "control-alt-delete" challenge led to its demise.
