First!
EDIT: Now that I got that out of the way, I'd also like to add an ITBL.
EDIT2: Now that I got both of those out of the way, welcome to BikeForums, atxlatino. The positioning of your bars is usually your own personal preference. Some (such as myself) like to position the bars and the shifters so that the upper portion of the bars, as it transitions to the hoods (that's the rubber above the shifters), is parallel to the ground. Others may like it to dip down a bit. BikesDirect positioned the shifters on for you, so you may want to go in there and re-position them yourself, but that's up to you and a little bit of work. For other points of reference, consider checking out the websites of some major bicycle manufacturers and see how the bars are positioning in their various models.
