CAMBRIDGE – Hate crimes in America have picked up steam since a massacre at a Sikh temple near Milwaukee shocked the world more than three years ago. But outreach groups are using lessons from the Sikh faith to help prevent further tragedies.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Love him or hate him, Buddy Cianci put Providence on the map.
A master of both retail politics and publicity stunts, Cianci used his considerable charms and political instincts to win six terms leading Rhode Island's capital city. Along the way, he and his trademark toupee landed countless appearances on national TV, inspired a musical and even put out his own line of pasta sauce.
