At the CNN Stimulus Desk, we have been breaking down for you what happened to the $862 billion Recovery Act that passed a year ago. Where did your tax money go?

Our team of researchers has been piecing through massive lists of projects to find the ones that might most interest you - and to ask questions about them. Below, just a couple of examples.

What questions do you have about the stimulus? Post here, and we just might tackle them on air.

One out of every three children in America is overweight or obese. Child obesity rates have more than tripled according to a recent report in the American Pediatrics Journal.

Today, first lady Michelle Obama will announce a new initiative to combat childhood obesity which she believes to be one of the greatest threats to America’s health and economy. The plan calls for the federal government and public schools to work together to provide nutritious food in schools, more opportunities to be physically active, and give communities greater access to affordable and healthy food.

So what do you think it will take to win the fight against childhood obesity?

Julia Lira is at the center of a national controversy in Brazil. A samba group chose her to lead its performance at next week’s Carnival. She’ll wear a mini-skirt and make-up, stay up late, and dance a dance most would call suggestive. And she’s 7 years-old. The girl’s parents say she’s just a girl who loves to dance. But now a family judge is trying to decide whether to block Julia’s participation. 

Our question: Should this little girl be allowed to lead the Samba at Carnival?

Post your comments here. Brooke Baldwin (in for Kyra) will read some of your comments in the 10am ET hour.

Starting at 11am ET, Tony Harris will have the results from our Quick Vote.

Should Julia be allowed to lead the Samba at Carnival?

The storm has moved on, but the snow remains. Record amounts of it, in fact. Do you know how to drive in the snow? Our Reynolds Wolf went to Colorado Ski Country to take a driving course sponsored by Bridgestone. Ride along – you may learn something!

Hundreds of thousands without power, record amounts of snow, and massive snowball fights. We'll have the latest on "Snowmageddon."

The faith-based council formed under President Bush and expanded by President Obama has come under fire by critics who say it isn't enough of a priority for the White House. We'll talk with the president of the council in the 8 o'clock hour during our Faces of Faith segment.

Brooke Baldwin conducts a very special interview with a woman battling ALS. This woman is able to communicate with a computer she operates with her eyebrow muscles. And when she can no longer do that, she'll still be able to communicate - with brain power alone.

Super Bowl predictions from Sister Jean, the Super Bowl Queen. The "Psychic Nun" has no actual psychic abilities. But hey, she's been right on several occasions.

A lot of folks watch the big game just for the commercials. Sports Business Analyst Rick Horrow joins us with some of the ads deemed too racy for this year's Super Bowl.

And speaking of commercials, remember that Miller High Life spot during last year's Super Bowl that lasted one second? Pitchman Windell Middlebrooks joins us this morning to talk about what's planned to air during today's game.

Join TJ Holmes with Brooke Baldwin in for Betty Nguyen on this CNN Sunday morning, 6am ET/ 3am PT.
