There's a certain amount of peer pressure, so your environment can dictate it, too.

It is unfortunate that the letter to Science magazine received widespread media attention.

It's a peer pressure kind of thing, because everyone's on it. Everyone wants to be on it. But, with all the dangers, I don't even know all the dangers, and that's why I'm here tonight.

For a period we'll be educating boaters. The intent is not necessarily writing tickets from the start. Hopefully peer pressure and word of mouth will make it work.

It's not the stranger jumping out of the bushes. Yes, that does happen, but 80 percent of the time, it's a friend, family member, someone in your peer group, somebody trusted to the individual.

It's peer pressure. They look at the other kid's talent and what's our kid doing? Sports is so big, so much attention is paid to it. When you walk into a high school, what's the first thing you see? A trophy case and pictures of the athletes. You don't see pictures of average students.

Conducting a second peer review for our Dane County work just one year after the first one was completed is irresponsible, unnecessary and a waste of electric ratepayers' money.

That in itself is such a huge reward -- to be recognized by your peer group and in our particular case, this would be the seventh year of the show. This might be the most satisfying one.

The Big 12 is a tough conference. We'd like to do a game a year that's home and home in a place that our fans would want to go, against peer institutions.

The new combined company is going to be trading at something like 20 to 22 times 2007 earnings. So, it's very much at the high end of the asset management peer group. Most asset managers trade at that sort of multiple on this year's earnings, not next year's earnings.

Social support, peer pressure, family support -- all of that can be helpful, certainly in getting people to maintain exercise.

Society's going in such a way that, if you don't conform, you feel like an alien. Many guys will go out on a Friday and Saturday night because of peer pressure. It takes a man to stand up and say I don't feel like going out, and for a long time I wasn't at that place. I'm thankful that Inga showed me I didn't have to go with the flow. At the end of the day it's the dead fish that go with the flow.

I never liked the Friday The 13th movies, or any of that. It's just not my bag. It's a genre that I guess current audiences haven't seen in a while, or haven't seen at all. I have a 14-year-old daughter, and the first one of those she ever watched, she only watched because of peer pressure.

If Prince Charles is going to seek to influence healthcare or science policy - especially without going through the normal peer review process - he must allow himself to be challenged in debate or interview, something that he has never done.

In some ways, we -- along with many of our peer institutions -- have allowed rankings to define us, not only to the outside world, but also to ourselves. It is folly to distil all that makes an individual school unique into a simple rank. There is no such thing as a number one school.

In respect to peer companies, yes. There is room for rebuilding, but it is too soon to say in what manner. There is management, and there are consultancies for that.

I tend to make movies about my peer group. I couldn't see myself now going back and making a movie about a bunch of college kids, necessarily. I kind of always operate in the things I'm observing around me, whether it's friends having babies now in my life or what have you.

Children who are very shy or anxious or overly aggressive often get caught up in bully-victim relationships that have negative impact on both children. It is also common for children with social difficulties to be excluded from everyday peer activities and experience feelings of discomfort, sadness and alienation. Adverse peer experiences can be stressful for children and, if persistent, can lead to feelings of anxiety , depression and loneliness.

Generally, in hospitals, there is some morbidity and some mortality that results from giving the wrong medicine to the wrong patient. Our error rate wasn't very high versus peer hospitals, but this is an area where you don't want any errors.

If ever there was a time not to (mess) with the formula, this would be it. But he's fearless. A lot of people have a governor on themselves, usually peer pressure or fear of not being liked. This is a guy that is truly living by his tastes and his beliefs.

If I may take the liberty to speak for science at least, today his name and his prizes are without a peer in the world. He not only elevates science but he influences it as well.

A German firm called Friendsurance relies on people forming their own groups, which apply peer pressure to keep claims and costs lower. The result is refunded premiums for customers and profit for the company.

The early Journal was a bit analogous to Lewis and Clark going west, describing everything they saw. I don't know what kind of peer review existed then, but most people working in the field probably had never seen anyone with some of the problems described in the Journal. In fact, they may not have known some of these behaviors existed at all.

The currencies of science are discoveries and ideas; the rewards are the excitement of going where nobody has been before and, if one is inclined to such things, the kudos of peer acclaim, plus funds to do more research.
