as far as i know the website is fine, make sure you type it as www.usfirst.org and not just usfirst.org

In MSIE if you type just yahoo and then hit control and enter simultaneously it will put the www. and .com for you. I don't know how to do it for .org or any other extension though.

Yeah, usfirst.org is b0rked. Actually, they did it correctly. (IIRC, there is supposed to be a subdomain (www) on the beginning of domain names) And actually, the _real_ FIRST site is http://newton.usfirst.org (At least that's what they have entered in their nameserver):

evulish@g0d:~$ host www.usfirst.org
www.usfirst.org CNAME newton.usfirst.org
newton.usfirst.org A 199.125.100.3

the Ctrl enter thing only works for .com sites not for .org
