The Japanese "&#26449" is pronounced "mura" and does, indeed, mean "village." The character "&#26001" translates as "unevenness; inconsistancy; erraticness; irregularity" and is also pronounced as "mura" Source: http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/cgi-bin/wwwjdic.cgi?1C Disclaimer: I am *NOT* a Japanese speaker. Your post made me look it up! Thanks! Juppie -

I would also add that each diferent team member needs to be sensitized to "the other persons role" so they understand the impact of their own "slow down".
