	Gelfand biography
		Gelfand presented his thesis Abstract functions and linear operators in 1935 which contains important results, but is perhaps even more important for the methods that he used, studying functions on normed spaces by applying linear functionals to them and using classical analysis to study the resulting functions.
		Gelfand's work on group representations led him to study integral geometry (a term due to Blaschke) which in turn he was led to by a study of the Radon transform.
		Gelfand's interests were certainly not confined to research despite his incredible record of having published over 500 papers in mathematics, applied mathematics and biology.

	The Unity of Mathematics
		A conference to honor the 90th birthday (Sept. 2) of Israel Gelfand is currently underway in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
		Gelfand was a student of Kolmogorov's in the 1930's, so who discovered what when may be a touchy question in this case.
		In historical terms, this result precedes Gelfand's theorem and is the foundation for it-he starts with a general commutative Banach algebra and reconstructs a space from it-thus establishing in what sense that the space to algebra correspondence is surjective, and hence by the aforementioned theorem, bi-unique.

	Northwestern Chronicle: Abunimah heaps criticism on Israel
		He delivered a scathing condemnation of Israel's "occupation and aggression." He presented four accusations: the Israeli "cover-up" and media manipulation, the "myth" that the entire occupation and strategy was a function of defense, the "myths surrounding previous peace talks between Arafat and Israeli leaders" and the strong Israeli lobby "manipulating the American government."
		When asked if Israel would be defensible if it withdrew back to the 1967 borders, Abunimah responded that "the point of making peace treaties is to eliminate conflict." "I don't think that should really be an issue," he said.

		Gelfand remained the only unbeaten player, winning two and drawing eight games including the last round against Dominguez.
		In an exciting duel with Macieja, Harikrishna — who had defeated the Polish GM in their first clash — played uncompromising chess with fl against the Guico Piano and was suitably rewarded for his effort as his rival went astray.
		Playing the fl side of a Petroff defence, Gelfand traded both his knights in one of the popular variation of the set-up and subsequent exchanges of heavy pieces led to a queen and minor piece endgame which was just level.

		At any rate, I had known about Gelfand's representation theorem, but had not known that Kolmogorov had done any work of this sort, or that this theorem in particular was due to either of them.
