present&lt;/strike&gt; I am a fourth year student &lt;u&gt;of&lt;/u&gt; the Economics Department of &lt;strike&gt;the&lt;/strike&gt;
AAA University (Russia), &lt;u&gt;specialized&lt;/u&gt; in Application of Mathematical
Methods &lt;u&gt;in&lt;/u&gt; Economics. I have chosen this area because it calls for new
ideas and has &lt;u&gt;an &lt;/u&gt;&lt;strike&gt;obvious&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;u&gt; implication in&lt;/u&gt; real life. Quantitive Economics
&lt;strike&gt;is the field&lt;/strike&gt; I am deeply interested in and I would like to pursue&lt;strike&gt; my
studies in this direction&lt;/strike&gt;. &lt;strike&gt;This is the main reason&lt;/strike&gt; I want to
participate in the QQQ Master Program.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strike&gt;I think that&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;u&gt;due to&lt;/u&gt; my
&lt;strike&gt;previous&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;u&gt;academical&lt;/u&gt; experience &lt;strike&gt;in AAA University&lt;/strike&gt; I have &lt;strike&gt;acquired
&lt;/strike&gt;sufficient&lt;strike&gt; base of&lt;/strike&gt; knowledge in economics, &lt;u&gt;as well as strong&lt;/u&gt;
mathematical background&lt;strike&gt;, which permits me&lt;/strike&gt; to satisfy the requirements
&lt;u&gt;of QQQ&lt;/u&gt; Program. I &lt;strike&gt;made progress in studying all the theoretical and
practical courses,&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;u&gt;concentrating&lt;/u&gt; &lt;strike&gt;my special attention&lt;/strike&gt; on mathematical
modeling, optimization and econometrics.&lt;strike&gt; In addition, &lt;/strike&gt;I &lt;u&gt;felt the&lt;/u&gt; lively
interest in researching some &lt;u&gt;concrete&lt;/u&gt; areas and this experience taught
me how to apply economic theory to &lt;strike&gt;the actual&lt;/strike&gt; topical problems. For
instance, my &lt;u&gt;3rd&lt;/u&gt; year research project &lt;u&gt;is&lt;/u&gt; &lt;strike&gt;devoted to&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;strike&gt;the&lt;/strike&gt; mathematical
modeling in monopoly pricing on the telecommunication market; in my
&lt;u&gt;Bachelor Degree paper&lt;/u&gt; I &lt;strike&gt;try to&lt;/strike&gt; evaluate the impact of infrastructure on
&lt;strike&gt;the level of &lt;/strike&gt;economic development in Russia&lt;strike&gt;n regions&lt;/strike&gt;.&lt;br&gt;During my
fourth year, I also &lt;strike&gt;had the exceptional possibility to &lt;/strike&gt;&lt;u&gt;take&lt;/u&gt; an
internship &lt;u&gt;in&lt;/u&gt; &lt;strike&gt;the well-known international auditing and consulting
company â&lt;/strike&gt;Ernst &amp;amp; Young.&lt;strike&gt; There is no doubt that I can turn this
experience to my advantage. Firstly,&lt;/strike&gt; I &lt;strike&gt;had the opportunity to&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;u&gt;acquire&lt;/u&gt;
&lt;strike&gt;some new important&lt;/strike&gt; abilities which I &lt;u&gt;could&lt;/u&gt; use for research&lt;u&gt; in &lt;/u&gt;my
master dissertation, such as &lt;strike&gt;analytical&lt;/strike&gt; skills &lt;strike&gt;that make it possible&lt;/strike&gt; to
analyze &lt;strike&gt;considerable amounts of&lt;/strike&gt; information in the most effective way.
&lt;strike&gt;Secondly&lt;/strike&gt;, &lt;strike&gt;combining work with study&lt;/strike&gt; I learned how to manage my time and
establish priorities. &lt;strike&gt;Finally, the&lt;/strike&gt; work &lt;strike&gt;experience&lt;/strike&gt; in&lt;u&gt; the&lt;/u&gt; international
company is &lt;u&gt;precious&lt;/u&gt; for my&lt;strike&gt; future&lt;/strike&gt; career. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strike&gt;There is another
reason why &lt;/strike&gt;I want to apply for QQQ Program &lt;b&gt;because&lt;/b&gt; &lt;strike&gt;I think that unfortunately&lt;/strike&gt;
in Russia there is no concept of economics as a single science, and
most &lt;strike&gt;of the theoretical and practical&lt;/strike&gt; approaches are adopted from
foreign &lt;u&gt;school&lt;/u&gt; of economics.&lt;strike&gt; However,&lt;/strike&gt; for me it is &lt;strike&gt;very&lt;/strike&gt; important to be&lt;u&gt;
in centre&lt;/u&gt; of &lt;strike&gt;the&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;strike&gt;topical&lt;/strike&gt; scientific activity,&lt;u&gt; feel&lt;/u&gt; the latest
tendencies and follow the&lt;strike&gt; permanent&lt;/strike&gt; development of economic concepts.
&lt;strike&gt;Great European traditions in economics as well as its actual scientific
work&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;strike&gt;I am attracted to the BBB University, for instance&lt;/strike&gt; the possibility to
collaborate with eminent professors from several research laboratories
such as *** and YYY &lt;b&gt;attracts me to BBB&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;u&gt; QQQ&lt;/u&gt; Program will also permit
me to work in &lt;u&gt;the&lt;/u&gt; competitive environment, to share ideas &lt;strike&gt;and to
establish connections&lt;/strike&gt; in the scientific and business world. &lt;br&gt;&lt;strike&gt;Besides,
I am interested in &lt;/strike&gt;this program&lt;strike&gt; because it &lt;/strike&gt;meets my general interests
in economics and&lt;strike&gt; particularly&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;u&gt; enables&lt;/u&gt; me to develop my current research
project in macroeconomics and econometrics. For example, I could take a
different view of mathematical modeling in macroeconomics because of
the courses NNN and MMM. &lt;strike&gt;I see&lt;/strike&gt; another &lt;strike&gt;significant &lt;/strike&gt;advantage of the
curriculum â &lt;strike&gt;the possibility&lt;/strike&gt; to choose among numerous elective courses&lt;strike&gt;.
Thereby I can&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;u&gt;concentrate&lt;/u&gt; &lt;strike&gt;my attention&lt;/strike&gt; on the &lt;strike&gt;set of&lt;/strike&gt; lectures that
&lt;strike&gt;exactly&lt;/strike&gt; satisfy my requirements. In addition, &lt;strike&gt;during my studies not all
the fields were covered although they were interesting for me, such as
study of finance, which was rather limited, and that is why&lt;/strike&gt; I would
like to take the course OOO to broaden my horizons in this field. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strike&gt;Obviously,&lt;/strike&gt;
this degree will give &lt;strike&gt;a considerable&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;u&gt;incentive&lt;/u&gt; to my &lt;strike&gt;professional&lt;/strike&gt;
career. Econometrics, different methods of data estimation and
prognostics can be successfully applied in &lt;strike&gt;the business environment of
today, such as&lt;/strike&gt; business analytics, forecasting of financial markets,
etc. My work &lt;strike&gt;experience&lt;/strike&gt; in a big consulting company gave me&lt;strike&gt; a reason&lt;/strike&gt; to
think that there were numerous possibilities for professional
development and a great demand for specialists&lt;strike&gt; in this area&lt;/strike&gt;. &lt;strike&gt;In this
connection, I consider the&lt;/strike&gt; study at QQQ Program &lt;b&gt;will&lt;/b&gt; extend
my knowledge,&lt;strike&gt; which is&lt;/strike&gt; necessary for my &lt;strike&gt;successful&lt;/strike&gt; promotion in this
sphere. &lt;strike&gt;With my dedication and acquired abilities, it will be the best
combination for the achievement of my professional ambitions&lt;/strike&gt;. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thus,
I believe that my academic background in &lt;strike&gt;different areas of&lt;/strike&gt; economics
and mathematics and serious intentions to study and research will be
beneficial for my graduate studies.&lt;strike&gt;&amp;nbsp; Moreover, I am sure that using all
my ideas, experiences and abilities I can make my best contribution to
the QQQ Program.&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="headline"&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Here is a little background;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
----------------------&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/index.html" target="_blank" title="http://www.prisonplanet.com/index.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
    
&lt;p class="mediumtext1"&gt;Former associate editor of the Wall Street Journal 
      and former Assistant Secretary of the US Treasury Dr. Paul Craig Roberts 
      expressed his dire warning that the US government has fallen into the hands 
      of psychopaths and that the Neo-Cons in the Bush administration may be set 
      to stage another terror attack in the US as part of a black operation to 
      demolish growing dissent and coerce the public to rally behind the government 
      once again.&lt;/p&gt;

    
&lt;p class="mediumtext1"&gt;During an interview with the Alex Jones Show, Roberts 
      cited a Capitol Hill Blue article concerning a &lt;a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/november2005/121105newterror.htm"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;leaked 
      memo&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; circulating between top Republican leaders.&lt;/p&gt;

    
&lt;p class="mediumtext1"&gt;The memo outlines potential strategies to bring their 
      agenda back online, including the capture of Osama bin Laden, a drastic 
      turnaround in the economy or a resolution of the war in Iraq.&lt;/p&gt;

    
&lt;p class="mediumtext1"&gt;The most alarming option includes a terrorist attack 
      that would validate the President's war on terror and "restore his 
      image as leader of he American people."&lt;/p&gt;

    
&lt;p class="mediumtext1"&gt;This document adds to the mountainous pile of smoking 
      gun evidence of government complicity in staged terror attacks and other 
      false flag operations. It has now been declassified, as we already knew, 
      that the Gulf of Tonkin never happened. It was staged to get us into Vietnam. 
      Operation Northwoods was the official US government plan to carry out 9/11 
      style attacks against the American people and blame it on foreign enemies 
      as a pretext for war.&lt;/p&gt;

    
&lt;p class="mediumtext1"&gt;Publicly published PNAC documents before 9/11 had saliva 
      stains all over them as Dick Cheney and others talked about helpful Pearl 
      Harbor attacks. &lt;/p&gt;

    
&lt;p class="mediumtext1"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.prisonplanet.com/images/november2005/151105roberts.jpg" height="216" width="237"&gt;&lt;br&gt;
      &lt;span class="verdlight"&gt;Paul Craig Roberts&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    
&lt;p class="mediumtext1"&gt;Roberts went further than he has ever gone before in 
      stating that the Neo-Cons were worse than Hitler and Stalin because they 
      publicly embrace torture and pre-emptive war, something that past despots 
      at least tried to hide.&lt;/p&gt;

    
&lt;p class="mediumtext1"&gt;As the Senate bill to block torture is blocked by Bush 
      and Cheney, the promotion of torture in official circles continues.&lt;/p&gt;

    
&lt;p class="mediumtext1"&gt;US National Security advisor Stephen Hadley &lt;a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/november2005/131105torture.htm"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;refused 
      to rule out&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; torture in the case of an imminent attack, telling 
      CNN's Late Edition that there are cases where the Bush administration's 
      empty pledge not to torture would apply.&lt;/p&gt;

    
&lt;p class="mediumtext1"&gt;George Bush' repeated statements of "we do not 
      torture" would certainly ring hollow to the thousands of disappeared 
      individuals, now subject to God knows what in &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/11/01/AR2005110101644_pf.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;secret 
      ex-Soviet gulag camps&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; all over the Eastern Bloc.&lt;/p&gt;

    
&lt;p class="mediumtext1"&gt;And also to those subject to torture mastermind Donald 
      Rumsfeld's &lt;a href="http://www.newyorker.com/fact/content/?040524fa_fact"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Copper 
      Green&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; program, which manifested itself with arbitrary rape 
      and fatal beatings at Camp X-ray and Abu Ghraib.&lt;/p&gt;

    
&lt;p class="mediumtext1"&gt;Paul Craig Roberts said that the US government is in 
      the hands of dangerous psychopaths who are a disgrace to the human race 
      and who should be arrested as war criminals and turned over the the Hague.&lt;/p&gt;

    
&lt;p class="mediumtext1"&gt;Roberts outlined his conviction that the torture program 
      was not set up to gain any kind of real information from accused detainees 
      because torture is renowned for extracting useless and false information. 
      The real reason for the torture is to make the terrorists implicate themselves 
      and thus create the perception of a real terrorist threat.&lt;/p&gt;

    
&lt;p class="mediumtext1"&gt;This is exactly the process in Uzbekistan, where the 
      government was caught torturing innocent people into confession and then 
      using the confessions as evidence that the government needed to crack down 
      on terror.&lt;/p&gt;

    
&lt;p class="mediumtext1"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.prisonplanet.com/images/november2005/151105ghraib.jpg" height="305" width="360"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    
&lt;p class="mediumtext1"&gt;Roberts said that the CIA was aware that the vast majority 
      of detainees are not terrorists, proven by the fact that Pakistani gangsters 
      admitted to rounding up innocent people in street sweeps and &lt;a href="http://www.commondreams.org/headlines05/0531-10.htm"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;selling 
      them to the US government as terrorists&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; for anything up to 
      $25,000. These people are now at Guantanamo Bay.&lt;/p&gt;

    
&lt;p class="mediumtext1"&gt;Roberts pointed out that only nine so-called terrorists 
      have been brought to trial and none have been convicted. Why do individuals 
      have to be held for four years without trial if there is proof that they 
      can be convicted with? Army interrogators have gone public with their frustrations 
      that these people are obviously not terrorists but they are still ordered 
      to keep them. Images of mass ranks of terrorists are pure lies on the part 
      of the insane Neo-Cons.&lt;/p&gt;

    
&lt;p class="mediumtext1"&gt;People who refuse to torture and blow the whistle on 
      it, like &lt;a href="http://www.prisonplanet.tv/articles/november2005/031105openlyadmits.htm"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;General 
      Janis Karpinsky&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.upi.com/NewsTrack/view.php?StoryID=20051018-115236-1352r" target="_blank" title="http://www.upi.com/NewsTrack/view.php?StoryID=20051018-115236-1352r"&gt;Rick 
      Baccus&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;are ejected and replaced with cadres of torture teams 
      willing to do the dirty work. Roberts said that these torture teams would 
      be turned loose on US citizens before long.&lt;/p&gt;

    
&lt;p class="mediumtext1"&gt;Roberts said that America is the most hated nation 
      on earth by design and that the military is completely out of control. The 
      barbarism in Iraq practiced by the US occupational government will live 
      in infamy when it is historically judged by hindsight.&lt;/p&gt;

    Paul Craig Roberts is part of a &lt;a href="http://www.prisonplanet.tv/articles/october2005/311005costsnothing.htm"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;crescendo 
      of credible voices&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; stepping forward to blow the whistle on 
      the megalomaniacs in the White House as the insanity of the US government 
      reaches unprecedented levels.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;

      Joseph Watson | November 15 2005)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;

So, what do you think?&lt;br&gt;
