Penn State prays for abuse victims, perpetrators (Reuters)
STATE COLLEGE, Pennsylvania (Reuters) ? Churchgoers at embattled Penn State University offered prayers for victims and perpetrators of child sexual abuse on Sunday, and the state's governor said more victims of alleged abuse by a former university football coach are likely to be found.
Jerry Sandusky, 67, the former defensive coordinator for Penn State's football team, was charged this month with abusing at least eight boys over a period of several years. He has denied the charges and is free on bail.
At the State College Presbyterian Church, roughly 200 parishioners gathered on Sunday morning to worship and try to move past the allegations that have rocked this close-knit community.
Mike McQueary, the suspended Penn State assistant football coach who usually attends the service at the old stone church just two blocks from the Penn State campus, was not there. According to the grand jury, McQueary saw Sandusky assaulting a young boy in 2002, but did not stop it or call police. Instead, the next day he told Penn State head coach Joe Paterno.
"We are still the same people we were a week ago, and we still care about the community," said Susan Reisinger, the church's interim pastor.
The church's assistant pastor, Joel Blunk, prayed for perpetrators of abuse, their victims and university officials fired over the scandal -- among them Paterno.
"We pray for the children. We pray for their healing and recovery. Help us to realize God, that when we suffer, you suffer with us," Blunk said. "May they know they are loved and not alone.
"We pray this day for perpetrators of abuse," Blunk said. "Help us to be merciful and just."
MORE TO COME FORWARD?
Their prayers came just hours after Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett said it was likely that more alleged victims would emerge.
"If I'm to speculate, I wouldn't be surprised if we had more victims come forward," Corbett said on "Fox News Sunday." As attorney general he had opened the grand jury probe into Sandusky.
But on Sunday at the State College Presbyterian Church, the message was one of healing and understanding.
Richard Rohr, a visiting Roman Catholic priest, delivered a sermon that explored the sociology of male power. He tried to make the case that Sandusky, Paterno and others erred partly due to those social constructs.
"We males can climb and climb high, without any wisdom at all," Rohr said. "That's very dangerous."
His sermon focused on a section of the biblical book of Matthew that Rohr said illustrated the need for men not to hold onto power too long -- a clear reference to Paterno, who was Penn State's head coach for more than 40 years until he was fired on Wednesday.
"If men have not made journeys of powerlessness, and try to hold onto power too long, they will almost always abuse it," said Rohr, a Franciscan priest who lives in a New Mexico hermitage.
There were also services at the Frank and Silvia Pasquerilla Spiritual Center on the Penn State campus, where Paterno has worshiped in past but was not in attendance.
The priest there also delivered a lesson from the Book of Matthew, one on speaking and acting positively.
Worshiper Tony Campanell, 69, of Allentown, Pennsylvania, said after the service that the homily had pointed to the need for personal accountability.
"Good overcame evil, and good will come of this," he said of the sex abuse scandal.
The church services came one day after Penn State's last home football game of the season, an equally emotional event that drew more than 107,000 to the school's Beaver Stadium.
Penn State lost the game to Nebraska 17-14.

Brooklyn march protests car arsons, swastikas
New York?? About 100 people marched through Brooklyn to protest against vandals who torched three cars and scrawled Nazi swastikas in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood, NBC station WNBC reported.

- How far will Penn State probe reach?
Protesters say they are taking a stand against the unknown vandals who set the cars ablaze before dawn on Friday. The vandals spray-painted the letters "KKK" on a van, put swastikas on benches and left other anti-Semitic messages on a sidewalk in the Midwood neighborhood.
Marchers walked past four public benches from which 16 swastikas had been removed after the pre-dawn attack Friday.
Some described the vandalism.
"It was horrible," said Ascher Scheiner, 17, a student at a local yeshiva ? a Jewish religious high school. "My friend woke me up and said he heard a loud explosion."
On Ocean Parkway, three parked cars ? a BMW, a Lexus and a Jaguar ? had been set ablaze. In addition, the letters "KKK," a reference to the racist Ku Klux Klan, were spray-painted on a van and anti-Semitic messages were scrawled on a sidewalk.
State Assemblyman Dov Hikind, a Democrat who represents the area, said authorities told him they believe rags were soaked in gasoline, placed under the cars and lit.
"I've never seen this level of violence here, in my 29 years representing this area," Hikind told The Associated Press. "This goes beyond the pale ? blowing up cars in the middle of the Jewish community."
Hikind, who lives in the neighborhood, then rushed off Sunday to see his 90-year-old mother, an Auschwitz survivor. He said he walks past the benches with her on their way to Sabbath services.
"All I could think about was my mother sitting on a bench with a swastika," he said.
Police made no arrests as of Sunday afternoon. The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating.
Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes said dozens of empty beer bottles were found at the scene. He said they would be tested for fingerprints and DNA samples.
Police in the 66th Precinct bolstered patrols in the neighborhood ? especially the scene of the attack.
The marchers carried an Israeli flag and were led by Hikind, state Sen. Eric Adams, Rabbi Chaim Gruber, New York City Public Advocate Bill de Blasio, civil rights lawyer Norman Siegel and other community leaders.
"There was a time when vandals used magic markers to express hate; now they're using gasoline," Adams said.
Protesters noted the attack occurred one day after the 73rd anniversary of Kristallnacht in Nazi Germany on Nov. 9-10, 1938, when synagogues were set on fire and the windows of Jewish-owned shops were broken.
"I am the child of a Holocaust survivor, and this makes me uncomfortable," said Judy Pfeffer, 62, a retired city education department employee who lives blocks away. "Even then, it was just vandalism. But it led to the Holocaust."
Sunday's march included about 25 people from the Occupy Wall Street movement in Manhattan, which put out a statement condemning the vandalism.
The mix of people who showed up for the march "shows that we stand together against hatred. And it makes residents here feel better," Hikind said.
Midwood ? a quiet, middle-class neighborhood about 45 minutes by subway from Manhattan ? was predominantly Jewish until new immigrants began arriving in the 1980s from the Caribbean, South America, Eastern Europe and Asia. Allen, the famed filmmaker, grew up in Midwood, as did U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer condemned the vandalism during an unrelated event on Sunday.
"It's disgraceful and they should throw the book at the people who did it," Schumer said. "Sometimes (vandals) think they're pranks, sometimes they're more malicious than that. Either way they cause great harm."

Hyundai hopes Super Bowl ads boost brand image
DETROIT (AP) ? Hyundai Motor Co. is hoping that five television spots before and during the Feb. 5 Super Bowl game will help to bolster its rising brand recognition and continue big sales gains from the past few years.
North American CEO John Krafcik says the fast-growing brand is working on a 60-second spot that will run right before kickoff, plus two ads on the pregame show and two during the first and third quarters of the game.
He wouldn't say how much the Korean automaker is spending on the ads, which will compete with most creative spots American companies have to offer during one of television's highest-rated and most expensive sporting events. Last year Super Bowl ads cost companies about $3 million for 30 seconds.
Chrysler Group LLC's two-minute spot featuring rapper Eminem was among those that created the most Super Bowl buzz this past February, and it helped kick off what has been a strong sales year for the recovering company. The cinematic third-quarter ad showed Eminem driving through Detroit and introduced a new car, the Chrysler 200 sedan, amid gritty scenes of the city. A voiceover talked about how the city has survived going through "hell and back."
Krafcik said Hyundai hopes to have standout spots as well, but it will focus more on a brand message rather than going for entertainment value.
"We're competing with Doritos and Pepsi and Anheuser-Busch," he said Friday at an auto show briefing for reporters at a technical center near Ann Arbor, Mich. "Those are tough competitors from an entertainment point of view."
Hyundai, he said, might have a little more fun with its ads this year and try to make them more memorable than in the past. But it's also trying to sway about a third of the auto market that has a neutral view of the brand, which sells the Elantra compact, Sonata midsize car and Tucson crossover SUV, among other models.
Hyundai has had huge sales growth in a lackluster U.S. auto market. Through October, the company has sold more than 545,000 vehicles, already passing last year's record sales of 538,000, according to Autodata Corp. Hyundai's U.S. market share has risen from 4.2 percent in 2009 to 5.2 percent so far this year, and analysts believe the company has taken sales mainly from Honda Motor Co. and Toyota Motor Corp., both of which have experienced declines.
Hyundai's sales are so strong that it's having trouble supplying cars and crossovers to its dealers, Krafcik said. It has raised the annual output at its Montgomery, Ala., factory to around 330,000 this year, and will produce more cars in North America in 2012, he said. But he wouldn't comment when asked if the company plans to build a new factory in the U.S.

Robert Pattinson Relishes Kristen Stewart's Contact-Lens Discomfort
Stewart didn't understand why her co-star complained about his 'Twilight' vampire contacts until she had to wear her own.

Aside from ending what has been roughly five years of hard work and incredibly pale skin, "Breaking Dawn" brought a different type of satisfaction to Robert Pattinson. The end of the "Twilight Saga" meant that his co-star Kristen Stewart would finally understand the pain he's had to endure the entire time they've spent shooting the films.
It's not a great spoiler to say that Stewart's Bella will become a bloodthirsty, red-eyed vampire at some point during the two-part finale, whose first installment opens on November 18. This has been a long time coming for Bella, the fans and, it turns out, Pattinson.
Getting into character meant a change of eye color for Stewart and some vindication for her co-star. In the nicest way possible, Pattinson explained to MTV News' Josh Horowitz that knowing Stewart would have to experience the discomfort of his vampire contact lenses was "a great feeling."
Stewart had her own set of contacts to wear as the human version of Bella to turn her eyes brown, but those apparently did not hurt, unlike the gold contacts that Pattinson had worn since the beginning of the series. "She's like, 'I wear contact lenses. Why do you always complain about yours?' " Pattinson said.
When Stewart finally did change into her vampire eyes, Pattinson got what he had been waiting for. "When she finally wore them and then was complaining about them every second of the day," he admitted, "it was kind of satisfying."
