Catalyst Learning’s School-At-Work System Upgrades With
New Features to Engage Students
Employers Embrace Career Development for Entry-Level Workers

May 31, 2006—The growth of Catalyst Learning Company’s School at Work (SAW), career development system continues its quarter to quarter increase, with a total of 218 healthcare employers enrolled in 33 states. “We continue to expand our outreach into hospitals across the nation that are willing to look at workforce development as a life cycle that begins with the entry level worker,” said Founder and CEO Lynn Fischer of Catalyst Learning. The School at Work career ladder system was developed by
Catalyst Learning in 1998.

In 2002, the U.S. Department of Labor funded a regional School at Work demonstration project for the healthcare industry . Phase 1 of the resulting “Building A Career Ladder in Healthcare” program served 366 participants at 28 hospitals in four states. Phase 2 began in 2003 and served 778 participants at 60 hospitals in 13 states. In 2005, although federal funding ended, SAW continued to grow as employers learned of its success and added the SAW career ladder system into their workplace. Through 218 healthcare employers in 33 states, 3,832 employees have enrolled in SAW instruction.

SAW has also invested in new online components, and a re-engineered, intuitive user interface. “We have been listening to our coaches within the hospitals and taken their feedback to enhance the user experience in our DVD and web training,” said Fischer, based in Louisville, Ky.

Students average about 2.5 hours a week in DVD or online training. System enhancements include:
* Ease of Readability online
* Standardized colors for key courses
* Gaming approach to learning, i.e. edutainment
* More Visuals, including Anatomy Graphics
* Dynamic Content
* Enhanced Keyboarding: “Words Per Minute” Tracking and Testing
* Answer reviews at the end of each activity

“Students now have access to advanced keyboarding activities that prepare them for college-level work and for higher-level clerical positions,” Fischer explained.

School at Work’s success at the individual hospital level has been witnessed and documented within HCA.  The School at Work initiative is now part of HCA Cares, a national scholarship program that provides employees with funds to support their career growth within healthcare and at HCA hospitals.  Over thirty HCA hospitals will add the School at Work to employee development efforts in 2006.

About School at Work
The SAW “Building a Career Ladder in Healthcare” program is for healthcare employers, especially hospitals, to educate, retain, and advance entry-level employees internally. The SAW integrated instructional model uses the Internet, computer labs, DVD technology, and mentoring through onsite coaches. Employers present SAW as an opportunity to build upon basic job skills, improve computer proficiency and study medical terminology, medical ethics, anatomy and physiology. Students also develop an individual career and learning plan, usually with the help of a hospital recruiter. For more information, go to www.schoolatwork.com.

Catalyst Learning’s principal product is School at Work ® (SAW), a career development system.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Read To Me Launch Coordinated By Founder Dawn Marie Yankeelov of ASPectx
Summer Program Pairs Young Readers in Day Camp under Metro Parks and Beta Club Students at Area
Schools

(Louisville, KY)—May 11, 2006—A new summer pilot program has been created by ASPectx Founder Dawn
Marie Yankeelov, her daughter, Melissa, and her cousin, Caitlin, to assist young readers (6 to 10
years old) and teens in area Beta Clubs in pairing up for self-esteem, communications, a sense of
achievement, and skills-building.

Read to Me participants will meet up at pre-selected Louisville Metro Parks Dept.’s Summer Camp
sites twice a week. Each teen will be assigned a minimum of 2 children at each camp, one for each
30-minute period to have the young reader read aloud. “The mentoring from the teens will assist in
the readers developing their skills, and having a partner for encouragement during the summer
months,” said Yankeelov. “Our intention is to rollout this program to all interested Beta Clubs
for year-round participation upon completion of the pilot program.”

Approximately 40 to 80 teens from area Beta Clubs are anticipated to participate with recruits
coming initially from Kammerer Middle School and Ballard High School.
Beta Club teachers are constantly looking for service projects to recommend, and coordinate. The
program called Read to Me will have its own website by summer’s end 2006, developed by and for
students, at www.readtome.tv.

This project grew out of Ms. Yankeelov’s current participation in the Landmark Education’s
Self-Expression and Leadership Program www.landmarkeducation.com

Program Premise:
Currently the school year end is approaching and many young children will be sent into
environments where they are just not reading, since it is not a scheduled activity. While books
may be available at summer camp, and, at times, they are read to as a small group, they may not be
reading aloud themselves and building on their skills. Meanwhile, middle and high school students
long for some way to make a difference. Those that are not yet old enough to work, may simply find
themselves watching a lot of TV, talking on the phone with friends, surfing the Web, and generally
bored.

As the summer progresses, young readers may actually slide back in their skills-building, and need
the first few weeks of school to become accustomed again to learning to read basics. Many teens in
the months of July and August begin to feel underfoot at home, and not appreciated. The prospect
of summer could be very different if they are paired in the Read To Me program. A sense of
accomplishment and pride can occur for both groups.

For more information on participation, contact Dawn Marie Yankeelov at 502-292-2351 or
dawny@aspectx.com or Greg Davis, Coordinator of Summer Camp Programs for Louisville (KY) Metro
Parks at 502-574-2795 or Greg.davis@louisvilleky.gov. All Beta Club student volunteers in the area
are encouraged to sign up.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

“911, Iraq, & Bin Laden: US’s $60 Billion Intelligence Failure”
Presented by Former Intelligence Officer Robert D. Steele from Washington, D.C.
The World Affairs Council of Kentucky/Southern Indiana’s Global Economic Forum

May 2, 2006—(Louisville, KY)—Former Career Intelligence Officer Robert D. Steele will come to
Louisville, Ky. on June 14 to detail how and why open source intelligence methods should be used
more frequently to track high priority issues and military enemies. ASPectx founder Dawn
Yankeelov, and a member of the organizing committee for the area World Affairs Council’s Global
Economic Forum Series, extended the invitation to bring perspective to Kentuckians in this the
area.

Open source intelligence or “OSINT” refers to an intelligence gathering discipline based on
analyzing information collected from open sources, i.e. information available to the general
public. These sources include newspapers, the internet, books, phone books, scientific journals,
radio broadcasts, television, and others.

Robert David Steele, a career intelligence officer who went on to found the Marine Corps
Intelligence Command and then the international Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) movement,
believes that 80 percent of the threats to the U.S. can be monitored through open source
intelligence methods. However, Steele contends, $60 billion a year is spent on the 20% of the
threats amenable to secret sources and methods.

The kickoff event for this year’s Global Economic Forum Series will be held on Weds., June 14th
with a general lecture at 5:30PM open to the public and a business dinner at 6:30 PM. Tickets will
be sold in advance and at the door: $20 for the main event; and $100 for the business dinner. The
general lecture will be held in the Greenbaum Room, at Greenebaum, Doll & McDonald, 3500 National
City Towner, followed by the business dinner at Vincenzo’s Italian Restaurant, 150 South 5th St.
Tickets for both events are on a first-come basis, and seating is limited.

In November 2005, the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) announced the creation of the Open
Source Center (OSC). The OSC’s functions include the collection, analysis and research, training
and information technology management to facilitate government-wide access and use of open source
information. The center builds on the expertise of the CIA’s Foreign Broadcast Information Service
(FBIS), which has provided the U.S. Government a broad range of open source products and services
since 1941 (including world media content available to the public through World News Connection).
The top operational open source intelligence unit in the US military is the Open Source
Intelligence Branch of the Special Operations Command Joint Intelligence Center (SOCJIC).

Many other nations maintain open source intelligence gathering operations, for example Australia’s
Office of National Assessments, the UK’s BBC Monitoring Service, and the Swiss Army. Collection
and analysis tasks are allocated in different ways by different agencies.

To hear more on how this approach effects homeland security and you, join the general public and
World Affairs Council members at this exciting event. may be purchased by calling the World
Affairs Council at (502) 561-5422. Checks for tickets can be mailed to World Affairs Council, 200
West Broadway, Suite 607, Louisville, Kentucky 40202. Space is limited, and tickets for both
events are on a first-come basis. Please include a daytime phone number, type of tickets and
quantity desired, if ordering by mail.

About Robert Steele
Robert David Steele is a former career intelligence officer who founded the Marine Corps
Intelligence Command and is the leading voice of the Open Intelligence Movement. He has been
featured in Year in Computers 2000, named one of the Microtimes 100 industry leaders and unsung
heroes shaping the future, and is the central character in Alvin Toffler’s chapter in War and
Anti-War on “The Future of the Spy”. Steele has hosted over 6,000 multinational intelligence
professionals at his annual Global Information Forum, and trained an additional 1,500 at various
tailored events hosted by 19 different countries. He is the primary author of the DIA, NATO, and
SOF Open Source Intelligence Handbook, and the primary sponsor for the 30,000 pages of substantive
training materials on open source information that are offered free to the public at www.oss.net.

Overview of Initial NKL Cash Handling Installations:
Several NKL Cash Handling installations were made in 2002 alongside sister product, Image Vault
for digital video surveillance. The last of several beta trials was installed at University of
Cleveland Medical Center (Cleveland, Ohio) in August 2002.

The typical cash management system from NKL Cash Handling includes cash validators at each cash
register, and cash dispensers including coin changing tied to a data management software tool
called NKL Edge. A validator or a cash dispenser can act as the controller of its total smart safe
system. The combination of NKL and Image Vault technologies, both from FKI Security Products,
allowed for complete POS transaction tracking. Sodexho managers can see what the transaction was
as a video image and as a receipt.

Anticipated Benefits:
Loss Prevention and Employee Security.“We anticipated increasing security of cash handling
dramatically for both employees and managers. This system allows a department head to track
electronically who’s in and out of the safe and is designed for levels of access control,”
explained Sue Simons, director of analytical and performance systems at Sodexho Health Care
Services in Tinley Park, Ill.

Decreased Cash Counting for All Staff. There was also an immediate understanding that the
installations would decrease the amount of time required for cash counting and accounting
reconciliations. “Some cafeterias see such heavy volume that there may be up to 16 cash-outs per
day, and each cashier generally handles his or her own cash-out,” said Simons.

Time-Savings. Cashiers Can Buy Change Directly. With NKL electronic cash handling, a cashier can
avoid interacting with management every time change is needed. The system automatically records
what change has been dispersed or received by a cashier with a time and date stamp.

Verified, Tangible Results
Substantial Time Savings. Simons’ reports soft savings in labor reduction. The 30 minute average
cash-out has been reduced, per cashier, to about five minutes, freeing them up to handling the
customers.
Per-Cafeteria Sales Increases. Simons also reports from 2- 5 percent increases in sales in the
months since the NKL Cash Handling systems have been in place. “We have seen more than a 5.3
percent increase in sales at our first installation for year-end. This is very encouraging and we
have begun to evaluate at least 38 other facilities for NKL Cash Handling systems in our network,”
she said. Simons said an additional three installations will occur in the first two quarters of
2003 with plans to review NKL Cash Handling for other Sodexho divisions, including its Campus
Services Division by summer 2003. The scheduled installations will include United Children’s
Hospital in St. Paul, Minnesota; and the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital in Ohio.

Return on Investment (ROI). “We know that there is a return on the investment in NKL Cash Handling
systems within 20 weeks, instead of the originally thought six months. This makes electronic cash
management an important part of our bottom-line profitability,” Simons said.

Why NKL Cash Handling?
Simons of Sodexho indicated that NKL was willing to work with Sodexho to make any necessary
software changes to interface IT and cash register systems. “They were very responsive and
investigative in working through all our environments. They are available for consultation and
field testing.”

“This was a major factor in our decisions to move forward,” she said. For example, NKL Cash
Handling wrote in the “vend till feature”, so that multiple vend tubes could be used
simultaneously at the beginning of a shift. NKL Edge software allows senior management and onsite
managers to track in real-time each cafeteria’s performance based on their own pre-selected
metrics, or to develop graphs and quick charts in Microsoft Access. The NKL Edge PLUS software
connects instantly into safes for total programming and key master authority. These metrics can
then be compared and contrasted against archived data, other facilities, or grouped in regions or
by division for total results.

NKL Cash Handling Service and Support
24/7 support is offered to all NKL clients, including Sodexho, for maximum performance. Based on
the Sodexho trials, validator and dispensing units had bill jams less than one percent of the time.
Brandon M. Ring, National Account Manager for NKL Cash Handling, indicated that the NKL Edge
software was being enhanced for release in Q1 2003 as NKL Edge Plus. “We look to build a
feature-rich electronic cash management system that is easy to use and economical to install,” he
added. Sodexo results were typical of the customer base in the retail, restaurant, and convenience
store sectors in 2002. “The customer is our priority and we look at customization requests as our
field research and product development opportunities.”
