I've peeked at this one using FF 2 on Win XP Pro SP2.
The page is not bad at all, so these are just suggestions from a picky and
opinionated person:

~ the blue in the background and the blue in the logo don't match.. should
they ?

~ the bar hosting the dropdown menus and the "bottomBorder" horiztonal
element have a nice gradient on them,
but the rest of the page is rather 'flat'.. maybe the gradient theme could
be repeated above the header or below the footer..
or the page background could be a slight gradient (on blues).. son't know..
just something to bring it all together..

~ the 'contact us by phone' text in the top-right corner seems a bit
compressed to me.. but I realize the whole header is
an image, so this might be a resource developed for other use that you get
to re-use here ?

~ personally, I always question the use of full white (#FFFFFF) and full
black (#000000).. maybe the background you use could be a subtle off-white
instead ?

~ the "working" image is not bulletproof: shrink the text size a bit and the
copy that usually belongs
below the image gets to overlap with it

~ the dropdowns are not bulletproof.. blow the font size up a bit and you'll
find that their position is not optimal,
they tend to overlap.. opening one of the menus also leads to some odd
transparency effect...

~ do you need to repeat the 'about us', 'services', 'careers', and 'media
center' links (that are in the dropdown area) in the footer ? Sometimes
repeated copy is crucial.. other times it's a waste.

~ lately I'm deep into zoom layouts and alternate styles for accessibility
purpose.. maybe you could add an alternate zoom style...

~ maybe consider developing a favicon.. Genesis logo seem to lend itself to
that use

Hope this helps,
F.O.R.
