Actually, it looks quite good now.  Now we just need to fill out the pages 
with more text so the background will be understated a bit more.  :)  We can 
leave the news page mostly alone, except I'm going to capture it for text

stylesheet).  The other stuff could be spread out some more with a few 
well-placed, small graphics.
