Critique: The contrasting navigations are eye catching and clean while doing well to utilize such a small space. The secondary navigation doesn't distract from the main navigation since white text on a black background stands out more than black text on yellow. Plus, the yellow hover color on the main navigation is a nice touch. They do a good job with spreading out the two theme colors and using them to organize the whole site. The three body area columns organize a mass amount of information really well, and is an overall good design with how they're spaced apart from each other. Overlapping the columns on the headline image box also adds a nice dynamic to the page. I'm not sure what's going on with the green clouds background, though. It's really out of place. Even just changing the green to a light gray would fix this. The footer takes up more space than most footers seem too, but it balances out with the weight of the header. Again, the color of the quick links on the footer ought to be changed on this site, as well.
