ATHENS, Greece — Greece's prime minister on Thursday promised sweeping changes to the country's laws and labour regulations to combat sexual abuse and misconduct in the wake of an assault allegation made by Olympic sailing champion Sofia Bekatorou that has prompted more cases and triggered a nationwide debate. Speaking in parliament, conservative Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said the government will introduce tougher sentencing guidelines, propose changes to statute-of-limitation rules for cases involving minors, and create a dedicated government agency to deal with abuse claims in workplaces and organized youth activities. Multiple cases of alleged sexual misconduct and abuse have been made public since former Olympian Bekatorou alleged she was sexually assaulted by a national sailing federation official in 1998. The people coming forward with accusations include other athletes, current and former university students, and stage actors. Mitsotakis said reports that unaccompanied minors were vulnerable to abuse at migrant camps on Greek islands also motivated him to take action. “There were children at the camps...and in Greek cities that were being exploited for sex for 5 and 10 euros ($6-12),” the prime minister told lawmakers. He noted that children and teenagers travelling alone no longer live at the island camps or are held in police cells for protection but have supervised, separate living quarters. The reports include a 51-page document from the Francois-Xavier Bagnoud Center for Health and Human Rights at Harvard University in 2017 that said, citing camp informants, there were serious indications of child abuse at Greek migrant camps. Separately Thursday, a former director of Greece’s National Theatre appeared before a public prosecutor to respond to child abuse allegations. The 56-year-old suspect, who denies any wrongdoing, was arrested Saturday and remains in police custody. Opposition parties have demanded that Mitsotakis replace his culture minister over the alleged scandal. A government official told the AP Thursday that new sentencing guidelines and details of the proposed legal changes would be announced “in the coming days.” ___ Follow Gatopoulos at https://twitter.com/dgatopoulos Derek Gatopoulos, The Associated Press

Report reveals initial look at public sector DC plan account balances, contributions, loans, asset allocation; features inaugural presentation of plan data aggregated across record keepersWASHINGTON, Feb. 25, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Public Retirement Research Lab (PRRL) today announced release of “The State of Public Sector DC Plans: A First Look at the PRRL Database.” The PRRL collects and analyzes public sector defined contribution data to provide unbiased, actionable findings to better inform public plan design, management, innovation, and legislation. “A First Look at the PRRL Database” is a report of the opening PRRL Database, including commentary and graphic representation of defined contribution (DC) plan account balances, contributions, loans, and asset allocation. It features an inaugural presentation of plan data aggregated across record keepers. The PRRL Database is the repository for the plan- and participant-level retirement plan data collected by the PRRL from public plan sponsors from their record keepers. The opening PRRL Database contains year-end 2019 data for more than 200 457(b), 401(a), 403(b), 401(k), and other defined contribution plans; nearly 2.3 million state, county, city, and subdivision employees; and $113 billion in assets. Of note: State plans commonly serve as the primary DC vehicle for lower-level governments within their respective states. Some PRRL-participating state-level plans represent as many as 1,800 employers.Key findings include:Account BalancesMean account balances for public plan participants in their 60s reach just over $96,000; median account balances top out at nearly $32,000.ContributionsMean contributions for participants in their 60s reach nearly $3,900 annually; median contributions were just over $1,300 annually. Loans Loan use peaks at 7.3% for public plan participants in their 40s.The average loan as a percentage of account balance reaches 19% for those in their 60s. Asset Allocations The use of target-date funds is significantly higher by participants in their 20s (~63%).The use of stable value products increases steadily as plan participants approach retirement age, reaching 29% by participants in their 60s. “The PRRL was created specifically to address the significant lack of attention to and understanding about the role of public sector DC plans in helping public sector employees adequately prepare for a secure retirement,” said NAGDCA Executive Director, Matt Petersen. “As defined benefit pension reform continues, the importance of public sector DC plans will only increase.” As observed in the report, public sector retirement research, often focused on the defined benefit (DB) pension plan as the sole source of retirement income for state and local governments, has largely excluded public sector DC plans. This inadequacy of attention has resulted in an inability to effectively address the retirement readiness of public sector employees.The primary reasons for the lack of retirement research focused on public sector DC plans are state and local governments have maintained DB plans in far greater percentage than their private sector peers, resulting in a focus on pension system health typically expressed in plan funded status; and the difficulty of aggregating public sector DC plan data due to the extraordinary variety of public DC plan structures.“In the future, the PRRL will leverage the PRRL Database to identify trends in plan design and utilization, and analyze the retirement income adequacy gaps faced by public plan participants, including the potential impact of potential policy, plan design, and product initiatives on these gaps,” said Lori Lucas, EBRI President and CEO.“A First Look at the PRRL Database” may be accessed here. About PRRLThe Public Retirement Research Lab is a retirement industry-sponsored collaborative effort of the National Association of Government Defined Contribution Administrators (NAGDCA) and the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI). The PRRL mines data from the PRRL Database, the first-ever database specific to public sector plan- and participant-level defined contribution data, to produce research aimed at enhancing understanding of the design and utilization of public sector defined contribution retirement plans.

Accelerates company’s commitment to healing the planetCARLISLE, Pa., Feb. 25, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- To support ecologically safe farming, sustainable retailing, and efforts to eliminate hunger, The GIANT Company today announced a new partnership with Rodale Institute, the leading voice in developing solutions for the regenerative organic movement. Widely recognized as a founder of the modern organic movement, Rodale Institute has been a global leader in regenerative organic agriculture for over 70 years. “Through education, research, and training, Rodale Institute is quite clearly leading the charge to transform farming for the better, and we’re incredibly fortunate to have this resource just two hours from our home office,” said Nicholas Bertram, president, The GIANT Company. “Their important work complements our other environmental initiatives including offsetting our carbon footprint, creating pollinator habitats, and reducing food waste. By partnering with Rodale Institute, the pioneers of organic farming, we are able to support sustainable efforts from the farm to our stores and ultimately to our customers’ tables.” Rodale Institute’s 333-acre experimental farm, which conducts research into regenerative organic agriculture as well as farmer training and education opportunities, is headquartered in Kutztown, Pa. As part of the partnership, The GIANT Company will support three key initiatives of Rodale Institute centered around farm consulting, farmer training, and research. These initiatives include: Rodale Institute’s Organic Crop Consulting Services, launched in 2019 with the support of the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, which support farmers who are seeking to transition to organic through one-on-one mentorship with the Institute’s trained agronomists.Rodale Institute Farmer Training program (RIFT), an on-site internship that trains beginning farmers for a career in regenerative organic agriculture and supports the Institute’s farm share program, mobile pop-up markets and farmers markets.One of Rodale’s ongoing research studies connecting healthy soil with human health. These programs are aimed at healing people and the planet by increasing organic acres, training new organic farmers, and putting science behind the organic movement. “Rodale Institute is proud to have a retail partner in The GIANT Company, who provides food for so many in our home state,” said Jeff Moyer, Rodale Institute Chief Executive Officer. “Despite the organic food market reaching $55 billion last year, only 1% of U.S. cropland is currently organic. Now more than ever, it’s critical that food retailers, farmers, and consumers join together to advocate for the food system they want to see—one that heals both people and the planet. The support of a retailer like The GIANT Company will allow Rodale Institute to continue our research, farmer training, consulting, and education initiatives to grow the organic movement and build an organic future for all.” “Agriculture grows when we produce what consumers want,” said Pennsylvania Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding. “Pennsylvania is a national leader in organic sales and we are investing in organic research at Rodale and in a new PA Preferred® Organic program. These targeted investments grow opportunities for consumers to buy what they want and farmers and grocers to earn more. And investing in regenerative farming improves our soil and water so we can keep growing in the future. With this partnership, The GIANT Company and Rodale Institute are cultivating that growth and joining us in promoting a healthier, greener Pennsylvania economy.” Starting March 1, The GIANT Company is launching its Healing the Planet campaign in support of organizations focused on environmentally friendly initiatives.
