Lisa Lenihan, of Hamilton, holds her six week old son Liam, for the distribution of ashes during a lunchtime Ash Wednesday service at St. Gregory the Great Church on Nottingham Way in Hamilton Township, New Jersey. I wonder what Liam is giving up for Lent.

I've been to a few basketball games these past days. The big photo, above right, was from the Sovereign Bank Arena in Trenton. I went up as high as I could (press box) and got a clear background when I finally got a guy going up for a shot, facing the right way. At regular old high school gyms, the bleachers don't go way up, so I usually go low, on the floor to be exact and sometimes the players do, too.
