AMC's "Mad Men," about the world of advertising in the early 1960s, won best dramatic series, and the show's star, Jon Hamm, copped the best-actor Globe. The HBO and BBC comedy series "Extras" took home the top comedy award, while former "X-Files" star David Duchovny landed a trophy for best actor in a comedy series for Showtime's "Californication." Duchovny said he wasn't home when the awards were announced. "I kinda didn't want to watch. It would just make me tense or nervous, so I went out to see a movie," he said. "Saturday Night Live" alum Tina Fey netted the award for lead actress in a comedy for NBC's "30 Rock." Veteran actress Glenn Close, who said she was here in New York at the Brass Monkey Bar "drinking bourbon on the rocks" during the show, won the Globe for lead actress in a drama Series, for Fx's "Damages." NBC, which was supposed to televise the awards ceremony, replaced its broadcast with a press conference that featured "Access Hollywood" co-hosts Nancy O'Dell and Billy Bush announcing winners.
New business tools on SBA Web site
Business.gov has launched new search features and expanded content.

The service combines content from separate Web applications of Google-based services that include Google's Custom Search Business Edition, Google Maps, the Google Search Appliance and publicly available compliance information culled from federal, state and local government Web sites, according to the U.S.

Some will block services like Internet phone calls altogether while others will put limits and install filters on content. And traffic management tools that are frowned upon on terra firma could be commonplace in the air. Panasonic Avionics Corp., a Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. unit testing airborne services on Australia's Qantas Airways Ltd., is designing its high-speed Internet services to block sites on "an objectionable list," including porn and violence, said David Bruner, executive director for corporate sales and marketing. He said airlines based in more restrictive countries could choose to expand the list. The company also is recommending that airlines permit Internet-based phone calls only on handsets with wireless Wi-Fi capabilities — the technology delivering access within the passenger cabin.
