Lazy Eye and Tai Shan

Something from today's Times:
  • Lazy eye is curable, even after age 8. That's good news.

  • Tai Shan, the cutie panda cub. According to the Times article it's supposed to pronounce like tie-SHON. I don't know where is that coming from. I think it should just be pronounced as Tai Shan, I think it rhymes close enough to both Mandarin and Cantonese pronunciation. And Tai Shan, other than just meaning "peaceful mountain" is actually a name of a mountain in China, sometimes called Mount Tai I guess. If you believe in Wiki you can check here.

  • Investment Outlook for 2006. Basically, the advices dished out by the top brains are cautiously optimistic. The real estate market is slowing down, interest rates will go up a bit more. The advice is free but your money is probably not, so invest at your own risk.
