Hi Joao, this is one if my wishes too (see mockup)

I made the changes you suggested. I think folks should take a look and see
how they feel about consolidation. If folks think it's too condensed I can
migrate "News" and "Contact Us" out of "About Us" into the primary links.

What is the easiest way to soften the color values of the blocks? I don't
think anything too extreme needs to be changed...
