前言：本文主要介绍过渡态、反应路径的计算方法，并讨论相关问题。由于这类算法极
多，可以互相组合，限于精力不可能面面俱到展开，所以只介绍常用，或者实用价值有
限但有启发性的方法。文中图片来自相关文献，做了一定修改。由于本文作为帖子发布
，文中无法插入复杂公式，故文中尽量将公式转化为文字描述并加以解释，这样必然不
如公式形式严谨，而且过于复杂的公式只能略过，但我想这样做的好处是更易把握方法
的梗概，有兴趣可以进一步阅读原文了解细节。对于Gaussian中可以实现的方法，文中
对其在Gaussian中的使用进行了一些讨论，希望能纠正一些网上流传的误区。虽然绝大
多数人不专门研究计算方法，其中很多方法也不会用到，但多了解一下对开阔思路是很
有好处的。

共同办公之风兴起
据美国之音电台网站4月29日报道，虽然这里不是咖啡馆，却能喝到现磨咖啡；不是家里的卧室，却能舒服地睡一觉；不是娱乐室，却能来局小游戏。这里是共同办公空间，co-working space，又叫众创空间，也是近几年越来越多的美国人工作的地方。
“这里的美妙之处在于我们是一个团体，就像大家一起工作一样，” 作为众创空间提供者之一，Wework华盛顿特区分部主管卡尔·皮埃尔说，“所以在这栋楼里，我能找到一个律师，一个会计，还能找到帮我设计的人，帮我开发网站的人。它本身就是一个运营着的实体，人们在这里共同成长。”
报道称，不同工作背景的人根据需要，在Wework选择不同的会员计划，每月缴纳45到几千美元不等的费用，便可以全年随时进出，与他人共享与传统办公室不一样的体验：流动或预留的书桌、舒适的沙发、室外露台。Wework也提供可容纳1至100人的独立工作间，方便集... 阅读全帖 |

A blind man and his guide dog were barred from an Australian restaurant
after a waiter thought the dog was gay.
A tribunal last week heard that Ian Jolly, 57, was told to leave the
Adelaide restaurant Thai Spice in May last year after a staff member mistook
his guide dog Nudge for a "gay dog".
Restaurant owners Hong Hoa Thi To and Anh Hoang Le told the hearing that the
waiter had misheard Mr Jolly's partner Chris Lawrence when |

Monday, 06 Dec 2010 03:35 PM
Things weren’t looking too good for President George W. Bush when he left
office last year. They’re looking a whole lot better now, according to a
new Gallup poll, Politico reports. The survey shows 47 percent of Americans
approve of Bush’s presidency, up from 34 percent when he left office and
from his November 2008 low of 25 percent. Meanwhile, President Barack Obama

Carbon warming too minor to be worth worrying about
By David Evans
The debate about global warming has reached ridiculous proportions and is
full of micro-thin half-truths and misunderstandings. I am a scientist who
was on the carbon gravy train, understands the evidence, was once an
alarmist, but am now a skeptic. Watching this issue unfold has been amusing
but, lately, worrying. This issue is tearing society apart, making fools out

理论上是可行的，但是这对union来说就是giant step.
其实，union是不再乎宿主的命运的。they know they are parasitic leeches, but
they still couldn't care less if the host would fail.
cities if facing a budget problem, will cut deep into labor force.
And union won't nudge on total package that literally translates:
less money, less hired public employees.
In dire situations, a company would do either of two things:
1. lay off people;
2. everyone takes a cut in salary;
While, unions suck in a big way so that even given choi... 阅读全帖 |

Associated Press
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) — Dreams of a white Christmas are hanging by a
thread in the North, where unusually mild weather has left the ground bare
in many places — a welcome reprieve for people who don't like shoveling,
but a lump of coal in the stockings of outdoor sports buffs who miss their
winter wonderland.

posted at 12:07 pm on January 3, 2012 by Howard Portnoy
Give enough monkeys enough typewriters, and you will eventually end up with
the complete works of Shakespeare. Give enough 8-year-olds enough “
inspiration,” and you will apparently end up with an ode to the Occupy
movement.
That’s the argument being advanced by the Albemarle County (Virginia)
School Board in defense of lyrics purportedly written by third-grade
students at Woodbroo... 阅读全帖 |

美国最高法院正在重新考虑是否需要禁止大学招生考虑种族因素。
美国宪法14修正案“平等保护条款”保证给予每一个人均等机会，而不是针对种族而区
别对待。我们相信，高校招生政策应该符合美国宪法14修正案的精神。很遗憾，亚裔学
生长期以来遭受严重的歧视。“全国高校的经验研究”（NSCE）项目进行了超过9000个
学生采访。普林斯顿大学社会学家托马斯Espenshade进行严格的回归分析，得出如下结
果，此此结果也被新闻媒体广泛引用：如果想被名牌大学录取，在其它条件类似的情况
下，亚裔学生 SAT 成绩必须要比白人高140分，比西班牙裔高280分，比黑人高450分（
总分1600）。(这个分析已经把性别，GPA， 体育等方面的因素考虑在内)
目前已经有41483参与投票，发出我们对大学招生中的种族歧视的抗议。我们
还需要9000多个投票，以显示我们的关注力度。请确保你的配偶，孩子，父母，朋友，
和所有同事能够参与这个请愿。 （如果您是永久居民或者公民， 请参与这项签名请愿
活动，以改变亚洲人被歧视的命运。)

发帖数: 1509 | 48 I decided to support Barack Obama pretty early in the Democratic primary,
around spring of 2007. But unlike so many of his supporters, I never
experienced a kind of emotional response to his candidacy. I never felt his
election would change everything about American politics or government, that
it would lead us out of the darkness. Nothing Obama did or said ever made
me well up with tears.
Possibly for that same reason, I have never felt even a bit of the crushing
sense of disappointment that at... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 29846 | 49 Tenants Feel Pinch of Rising Rents
By CONOR DOUGHERTY
Record-low mortgage rates mean that homeowners have a smaller financial
burden for their residences than at any time since the early 1980s.
But here's the bad news: Rising rents are squeezing many families and
leaving them with less to spend.
Several factors have pushed rents up. Rental and apartment housing is in
short supply but demand has grown after several years of foreclosures and
population growth.
Across the U.S., "effective" monthly ... 阅读全帖 |

Cheap natural gas and increasingly competitive labor costs are bringing
factories and jobs back to the U.S. Eight ways to win.
As the only industrialized superpower not decimated by World War II, the
United States once made nearly 40% of the planet's goods. These days, that
number has shrunk to 18%. We make American Girl dolls in China, Levi's jeans
in Mexico, and enough movies in Vancouver to nickname ... 阅读全帖 |
