hang on to your fish

During the filming of a fishing/cooking show, a sea lion swipes a fish right out of the hands of a fisherman.  Pancho is old and blind in one eye so he can't find food on his own anymore.  He usually begs for food and is obliged by fisherman; this time he decided to take matters into his own flippers.  He stole the fish right in front of the cameras.  seal's lunch

new qualifying for NASCAR

Instead of going around the track one car at a time for qualifying, NASCAR is discussing changing to a multi-car qualifier.  The practice is already being used on road courses.  Drivers would be divided into groups and be able to stay on the track for as many laps as they wanted as time allowed.  They would then use the fastest lap as their qualifying time.  The only variation would be at Daytona and Talladega where all cars, as one group, would be allowed on the track for 60 minutes.  qualifying
