But he lives a life of risk and deadly danger. How much is Erin willing to risk for a love that could give them both what they need and desire most?

The purpose of this multisite investigation is to attempt to quantify risk or establish baseline rates for the offspring of female soldiers by career management field or military occupational specialty for the following outcomes: spontaneous abortions, ectopic pregnancies, intrauterine fetal demise, preterm birth (PB), low birth weight (LBW), preterm and low birth weight infant, and congenital abnormalities. Currently, 3779 subjects have been enrolled, which consist of 1026 soldiers, 164 daughters of soldiers or military retirees, 2572 spouses of active duty soldiers or retirees, and 20 women classified as other.

But how much is she willing to risk for a love that could give them both what they desire most? Cowboy's Texas Rescue Taking out bad guys is in Jake Connelly's DNA, so is rescuing women like Chelsea Harris, who was kidnapped by a brutal escaped convict. What isn't in the cowboy hunk's DNA, Chelsea fears, is an interest in relationships – especially with a jilted size–fourteen plain Jane like herself. With the killer on the loose and a Texas–size blizzard raging, Jake and Chelsea take refuge in an icy farmhouse. Sudden sparks between them turn on plenty of heat! But Jake needs to stay focused to stop the convict's reign of terror – and protect Chelsea from the danger of falling for him...

The final phase of study was to collate the data from the three sites to compare and analyze each of the six variables. The total number of participants enrolled reached 106 of the 150 anticipated. Many of the participants from the control group never turned in data and several Motherwell program participants stopped attending class after one or two months. After plotting the data available 15 participants in each group had sufficient information to be included in the analysis. Results showed the length of labor for the Motherwell group was 5.78 hours verses 9.2 hours for the control group. On an average the control groups babies weighed more than the Motherwell groups. The diagnostic physical training test taken six weeks postpartum showed the average score for the control group to be 158 points and the Motherwell group scored an average of 155 points. The variance was not very large. Overall the results do support that exercise is beneficial during pregnancy.

The primary purpose of fitness and body composition standards in the U.S. Armed Forces has always been to select individuals best suited to the physical demands of military service, based on the assumption that proper body weight and composition supports good health, physical fitness, and appropriate military appearance. The current epidemic of overweight and obesity in the United States affects the military services. The pool of available recruits is reduced because of failure to meet body composition standards for entry into the services and a high percentage of individuals exceeding military weight-for-height standards at the time of entry into the service leave the military before completing their term of enlistment. To aid in developing strategies for prevention and remediation of overweight in military personnel, the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command requested the Committee on Military Nutrition Research to review the scientific evidence for: factors that influence body weight, optimal components of a weight loss and weight maintenance program, and the role of gender, age, and ethnicity in weight management.

U.S. military personnel are required to adhere to standards of body composition, fitness, and appearance to achieve and maintain readiness--that is, the maintenance of optimum health and performance so they are ready for deployment at any moment. In 1992, the Committee on Military Nutrition Research reviewed the existing standards and found, among other things, that the standards for body composition required for women to achieve an appearance goal seemed to conflict with those necessary to ensure the ability to perform many types of military tasks. This report addresses that conflict, and reviews and makes recommendations about current policies governing body composition and fitness, as well as postpartum return-to-duty standards, Military Recommended Dietary Allowances, and physical activity and nutritional practices of military women to determine their individual and collective impact on the health, fitness, and readiness of active-duty women.
