Member of Peace Brigades to speak about human rights

Group helps prevent violence to activists
Mahony has worked to protect human rights in war-torn countries, where people's basic freedoms and lives are at risk. Despite his experiences, Mahoney maintains an optimistic outlook for the future of human rights.
Liam Mahony has placed himself in harm's way for the past 11 years.
Mahony will speak at 7 onight in the Ecumenical Christian Ministries building, 1204 Oread Ave. His speech, titled Standing in Harm's Way: Pragmatic Nonviolence Confronts Organized Terror is sponsored by Latin American studies.
"It's not just some dismal black hole of hopelessness." Mahony said.
He will talk about his experience working for Peace Brigades International and about a book that he co-authored titled "Unarmed Bodyguards: International Accompaniment for the Protection of Human Rights."

Manony began working for Peace Brigades International in 1987 as an accompaniment vol-
Mahony has worked in Guatemala and Haiti and has interviewed activists and accompanied volunteers, military officials and political leaders in El Salvador, Sri Lanka and Colombia.
The theory of accompaniment is that violence will not be carried out in front of foreign witnesses.
Although the conditions in these countries were dangerous, Mahony said the activists working to protect human rights had been a source of hope.
we generally only hear about the wars, terrorists or leaders of the countries," Mahony said. "I've found working with these courageous local activists to be very inspiring."
Mahony said accompaniment had proven successful. He never has witnessed an act of violence.
"One of my main goals is to give people a positive message," Mahony said. "Even though I'm talking about violent places in the world, there is a lot of hope for change in a peaceful direction."
Will Holliday, graduate research assistant in Latin American studies, said Mahony would bring an important message.
"We chose Liam because we felt that human

rights are an important issue in Latin America and the world right now," Holliday said. "We thought that people would gain an understanding about what the possibilities were for improving human-rights conditions in Latin America and throughout the world."
Mahoney also will speak at 1 p.m. tomorrow in Lawrence High School's auditorium and at 8 p.m. in Free State High School's auditorium. He will sign his book at 7 p.m. tomorrow at Borders Bookstore.
New releases enter music scene
Albums capture edge of horizon
By Kelly Corcoran Special to the Kansan
Freakwater · Springtime · Thrill Jockey · "Whiskey is not evil, when it's sitting on the shelf." Imagine that sung in a sweet, deep Southern drawl. Think Emmylou Harris...pure but delicate. Add toe-tapping country instrumentation on a banjo, guitar and basic rhythm section.
The folks in Freakwater have drunk a lot of whiskey, I have no doubt. In their four albums spanning eight years, Freakwater members have established themselves as traditional country favorites.
Because liquor and country music are wed by history, let's move to Freakwater's One Big Union, a pessimistic comment about the desperate times for the labor movement, and Washed in the Blood, a song about death in a rather optimistic light.
Smart lyrics and proficient music make Freakwater's new album Springtime an appropriate album for the season.
Guitarists and vocalists Janet
Beveridge Bean and Catherine Irwin see Freakwater as their springtime after emerging from a two-year hiatus from playing together.
Springtime is in a blossoming sense as well because this album is the first with four full-fledged members for Freakwater. Alternative-country or No Depression (the name of the genre's leading music magazine) albums have come up short as of late, but with more great records like Springtime, the hibernation season could be complete for the national country scene as well.
Buffalo Daughter · New Rock · Grand Royal · This Japanese group's second album released in the United States on Grand Royal could fit into several categories, but schizophrenic is most appropriate. Moving among a rock trio plus a disc jockey and electronic and psychedelic and pop music, the sounds of New Rock will garner many comparisons to Beck's Odelay, particularly the first single Great 5 Lakes.
Buffalo Daughter is two women, Sugar Yoshinaga and Yumiko Ohno, and DJ Moog Yamamoto, all of whom credit bands from Kraftwerk to The Slits to The Beatles as influences. It is that unique balance of electronic and organic that makes Buffalo Daughter into the correct evolution for bands of the late 1990s. That same balance leads Buffalo Daughter astray on about half of the cuts on the album.
The album comes off hit-and-miss as a complete listen. The short intermission pieces that are reminiscent of spinning I am a Walrus backward on a turntable help the flow of the album, but I compare the mish-mashing of styles to the art of a elaborate cocktail: get the right ingredients in the correct portions.
Some highlights on the album include Super Blooper, an organic drum-and-bass track that highlights Ohno's precise drumming skills; No New Rock, a Minutemen/Gang of Four punk tune; and Sky High, a psychedelic instrumental song that Pink Floyd fans will dig.
The Donnas - American Teenage Rock 'n' Roll Machine-Lookout- Imagine four 18-year
old Joan Jetts, all of whom like the Ramones but live for Kiss. This is the formula for the four girls in The Donnas.
Hailing from somewhere in the trashy side of the valley, Donna F., Donna A., Donna R. and Donna C. have been playing in a band for four whopping years. Now graduated from high school, The Donnas are picking up steam and are ready to take America by storm.
You could think that novelty is all that carries four girls named Donna. You could be right, but I would save you are wrong.
The Donnas write and play tight, fun pop punk. Right out of the Runaways' bag of tricks, the Donnas touch on all the high school subjects you could want to hear. Gimme my Radio (a big KJHK hit), Rock 'n' Roll Machine and You Make Me Hot cover sex, music and cars. Is there anything else?
On the flip side, riding a gimmick like four girls with the first same name making up a band can only last so long. I love novelty as much as the next guy, but let's hope good taste wins, and The Donnas only release one album.
