New Means "shining star"
Thanks for the pointer - that spelling made it come up rather quickly in Google.

Zoo officials say they are not ready to give up on their most popular attraction, whose name means "shining star" in Chinese. Hsing-Hsing, they say, has proven amazingly resilient. Yesterday, for example, he ate a small amount of bamboo -- a good sign, but he "remains in very serious condition," Hoage said.


(Before CRC complains... :-)

Cheers,
Scott.

While they were doing that I walked over to a place called the Oyster Bar - a real dive. But I knew the owner; he used to play for the Dolphins. I said, "HI GILL!" (You have to yell; he's hard of herring...)
