                    Adirondacks.com has launched a unique and very successful 
                    online "Internet Partnership With The Arts" program. 
                    Now in its second year, our mission is to harness the unique 
                    power of the internet to promote and focus public attention 
                    on the many wonderful non-profit organizations and programs 
                    which serve not only the 6 million acre Adirondack Park, but 
                    all of Upstate New York, Vermont and the Canadian border. 
                    Our 5 year goal is to create hundreds of unique "Internet 
                    Partnerships" showcasing a wide and diverse variety of 
                    organizations and programs ranging from the arts, music and 
                    theater to education and health.

Meets with Senator Hillary Clinton New 
Women's Crisis Shelter Opens In Southern Franklin County  
Women and children in southern Franklin county have a new refuge if they're suffering 
from domestic violence. An organization called Comlinks unveiled a safe house 
on Sunday May 1, 2005 that will offer emergency shelter. In the past, women were 
forced to drive fifty miles. As Brian Mann reports, advocates say the home will 
offer families a chance to start over away from the threat of abuse and intimidation.

                     Rob

                    Adirondacks.com 
                     
                    "I am especially excited about 
                    the potential for domains like www. 
                    conservationism 
                    .com that would allow Prescott College the opportunity to 
                    create a major portal dedicated to environmental concerns 
                    and showcase the many achievements of Prescott's faculty and 
                    alumni." Rob 
                    Grant '75  | 
                 
               
              significant 
              gift to Prescott College in the form of educational domain names 
              designed to drive Internet traffic to the Prescott College Web site. 
               
              Grant worked closely with the college exploring and developing a 
              unique online network of educational Websites through his Internet 
              consulting firm Adirondacks.  com. 
              Grant said his company worked with Rachel Yoder, director of alumni 
              relations, and Kevin Beyer, Web administrator, to make the domain 
              transfers possible.  
               
              "These education domains represent a wonderful opportunity 
              for Prescott College to build-out and create a unique network of 
              dedicated 'vertical' sites that can showcase the College's unique 
              academic programs online and attract potential applicants to the 
              college admissions process," Grant said.  
               
              "This is especially important in today's highly competitive 
              environment where private colleges are struggling to attract students 
              and maintain enrollment. Very few, if any, private colleges have 
              such a powerful network or online admissions platform." 
               
              A recent survey conducted by Peterson's Educational Guide found 
              that more than 35 percent of all U.S. students used the Internet 
              to search for schools and apply online. 
               
              The domains Grant donated to Prescott College include: 
              o EnvironmentalScienceDegrees.com 
              o Conservationism.com 
              o LiberalArtsDegrees.com 
              o LiberalArtsScholarships.com 
              o FourYearDegrees.com 
              o TwoYearDegrees.com 
              o MasterDegreePrograms.com 
              o BachelorofScienceDegree.com 
              o BachelorofArtsDegree.com 
              o BachelorofFineArts.com 
              o OnlineSchoolDegrees.com 
              o CollegeEndowment.com 
              o CapitalFundDrive.com 
              o FinancialGrant.com 
               
              This means that a potential student anywhere in the world who types 
              one of these URLs will be routed to the Prescott College Web site. 
               
              Grant said that by branding these various education domains and 
              building sites around them, Prescott College will benefit from search 
              engine traffic and from intuitive searches. 
              "A student looking for www.EnvironmentalScienceDegrees.com 
              will default directly into one of Prescott College's education sites," 
              Grant said. "This is why major companies like Peterson's Guide 
              own important domains like www.BoardingSchools.com. 
              These domains generate highly qualified leads to the company's educational 
              directory. In turn, schools pay Peterson's significant dollars to 
              advertise on their site and gain exposure tothese potential applicants." 
              Grant said a domain essentially has two components of value: a brand 
              value and an intuitive value. "The more descriptive and memorable 
              a domain is, the higher its brand value is in the eyes of the consumer," 
              he said. 
              "This is especially true if a domain translates well across 
              a variety of media including print, TV, radio, the Internet, etc. 
              Generally, the more highly targeted a domain is, the more valuable 
              its brand appeal is. A good example of this is a premier domain 
              like www.CatholicSchools.com." Intuitive value is created when 
              a computer user types in a specific name or topic followed by the 
              dot-com extension. "These domains represent the most valuable 
              assets in the industry and command staggering prices," Grant 
              said. "Recent sales of significant domains include business.com 
              for $7 million, wine.com for $3 million, and autos.com for $2.2 
              million." 
              The gifted domains to Prescott College are valued at $60,000. Grant's 
              company has been acquiring domain properties since 1996. The process, 
              he said, is complicated and depends on a variety of factors. "I 
              have many fond memories of Prescott and the many wonderful and highly 
              unusual friends I made during the late 70s," he said. "My 
              hope is to help the college as much as I can. The Internet is a 
              good first step."
