" MyPyramid Tracker is an online dietary and physical activity assessment tool that provides information on your diet quality, physical activity status, related nutrition messages, and links to nutrient and physical activity information. The Food Calories/Energy Balance feature automatically calculates your energy balance by subtracting the energy you expend from physical activity from your food calories/energy intake. Use of this tool helps you better understand your energy balance status and enhances the link between good nutrition and regular physical activity. Keep track of your energy balance history and view it up to one year. MyPyramid Tracker translates the principles of the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and other nutrition standards developed by the U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Health and Human Services.

"Teachers, librarians, and interested adults! Sign up now to participate in the annual ACPL Mock Caldecott Election. Help us pick the most distinguished American picture book for children published in 2010. No experience necessary! We invite you to join in the discussion of new picture book titles currently underway on the ACPL Mock Caldecott Blog. Our plan is to narrow down these titles to four short lists over the course of the year -- and your comments on the blog will help us do so. Look for our first short list to be published in June 2010. Registration is open for our Mock Caldecott Election, which will be held on Saturday, January 8th, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Main Library in Fort Wayne. We'll meet in person for a final discussion, and then we will vote on our favorites, following the ALSC Guidelines as closely as possible. "
