VENICE – March 2002 – Los Angeles based LA Works, in conjunction with Venice based Technology firm, Imagistic, announce the re-launch of www.la-volunteer.org, the LA Works Web site and volunteer information portal.

LA Work's mission is to increase volunteer participation in the Los Angeles area and provide community service organizations access to much needed volunteer labor and resources. The organization plans and manages several dozen diverse volunteer events on a monthly basis ranging from one-time projects to long-term, ongoing projects. Volunteer projects are diverse and include such things as tutoring children, providing assistance at food distribution centers, beautifying public school campuses and graffiti eradication. LA Works is also known for their annual LA Works Day, where several hundred volunteers come together on one day and participate in dozens of projects across the city.

The new Web site will allow interested volunteers to access information about LA Works and the volunteer opportunities available to them. For existing volunteers and volunteer project managers, the site provides easy access to the event calendar and needed forms and information. In addition, community service organizations interested in becoming an LA Works Community Service Partner can obtain information on the site.

LA Works Executive Director, Eric Roth, states, "This is a time of unprecedented and welcome community involvement. People are eager to go beyond themselves and help others. Our new site makes it easy to join in and participate."

All development services for the site were provided by Imagistic; an established Los Angeles Web technology company that recently developed the Teaching Tolerance.org Web site for the Southern Poverty Law Center.

L.A. Works was founded in 1991 by a group of concerned citizens from the Entertainment, Business and Government sectors. On a weekly basis, L.A. Works offers a variety of community service projects.

WASHINGTON, DC - April 2, 2002 - Math and Science Television (MSTV) -- a portion of the Getsmarter.org website designed for high school students - has won an April "Digital Dozen" award from the Eisenhower National Clearinghouse (ENC). The Digital Dozen are twelve exemplary websites for educators, hand-picked each month by the ENC.

Getsmarter.org, an initiative of the Council on Competitiveness that was developed by Internet software and services firm Imagistic, is a free Web site designed to help improve math and science education. It offers elementary, middle, and high school students a chance to evaluate their math and science skills against their international peers. Interactive quizzes, games, and tutorials allow students to learn more about specific topics and improve their skills. MSTV, a series of interactive modules within Getsmarter.org, shows how math and science relate to our daily lives. The modules explain phenomena by using math, physics, chemistry and biology principles. Examples answer such questions as: What makes an aircraft carrier float? How can you explain a coincidence?

U.S. Representative Connie Morella (R-MD), a member of the House Science Committee, comments, "We are missing the mark with our children's math and science education…This site is an example of committed people doing something about the problem. We need new ideas and rejuvenated efforts to get our students excited about learning math and science. Interactive technology holds great promise and potential."

Project co-chairs and council members Alfred Berkeley, vice chair of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., and Richard Atkinson, president of the University of California, guided the design of Getsmarter.org. Notes Berkeley, "Several recent reports, including the results of the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), have shown the need for American students to become more engaged in math and science." The Web site, he adds, offers a "fun and interactive environment" where students can test themselves and practice math and science skills without the pressures of the classroom.

In selecting the monthly Digital Dozen, ENC judges evaluate content and pedagogy, audience usefulness and engagement, functionality and navigation, and use of web technology and design. Overall, ENC works to identify effective curriculum resources, create quality professional development materials, and disseminate information and products to improve K-12 mathematics and science teaching and learning.

Turn-key Intranet Package Helps Multi-Venue Restaurants Save Money and Time While Enhancing Communication

VENICE, CALIFORNIA - May 9, 2002 - Imagistic, an Internet services company that specializes in Web application development, has released an upgraded version of its intranet and document management software product, RICS (Restaurant/Retail Information and Communication System). A turn-key intranet solution, RICS was developed specifically for multi-venue restaurants and provides a pathway for improved efficiency, increased staff collaboration, better corporate communication and quantifiable cost savings.

RICS provides companies with a central repository for pertinent company information, news, activities, policies and training materials and can easily be branded with a client's identity. Typically-distributed paper documents such as recipes, training manuals, human resources policies, inventory lists and sales reports can be made immediately available to on-site managers and employees, thus reducing lag time and increasing productivity. In addition, the resulting reduction in paper hard costs and associated expenses such as printing, binding, and shipping provides a significant cost savings.

"The RICS Intranet package was a perfect match for Shari's needs," said Ron McCauley, vice president and chief information officer, Shari's Management Corporation. "Not only was it easy to integrate and learn, but more importantly, it saved us significant dollars on in-house development costs while streamlining and improving the communications process between our headquarters and the field. In fact, we were able to begin publishing documents and providing information to the field within days of the install, so we started saving time and money on paper, printing and postage right away."

RICS includes full content search capabilities and allows users to upload and download many types of documents, including Microsoft Word, Excel, Adobe PDF, image files and reports. The system includes a powerful and intuitive content management interface that requires little or no training to use.

A hierarchical permissions system allows the intranet system administrator to set the level of access for any given user. Designated users may be given limited access to some parts of the system and only specified documents and information will be viewable.

The cost of the system includes company branding and customization, installation on a specified client controlled server, basic training for using the system, and six months of maintenance/support. Founded in 1997, Imagistic (www.imagistic.com) is an Internet services company that specializes in Web application development. The company has developed numerous Web-based applications for such clients as California Pizza Kitchen, Bank of America, Shari's Restaurants, UCLA, CarsDirect.com, Southern Poverty Law Center and Estee-Lauder.
