Is the PSA test helpful for men without symptoms of prostate cancer?

It is unclear.

And that question, Dr. Barry concluded, has still not been answered definitively.
No

Prostate cancer dilemma - The Globe and Mail

Recent large-scale studies, conducted on more than 250, 000 men, have confirmed that – at best – PSA tests save few lives, at enormous cost.

But Heather Chappell, senior manager of cancer control policy at the Canadian Cancer Society, interpreted the research differently, saying the impact of PSA testing on mortality was only "marginally significant ... on the cusp of happening by chance," and that the risks are greater than for other forms of screening.

There was no statistically significant difference in mortality rates between men who were screened routinely with the PSA test and those who were not in a screening program.
Yes

Prostate cancer dilemma - The Globe and Mail

For health-conscious men, PSA tests are what mammograms are to women – an essential piece of preventive medicine.

The research, the most in-depth investigation to date on how prostate specific antigen (PSA) testing can influence mortality rates, provides the strongest evidence yet of the benefits of its use.

Bob Shiell, president of the Canadian Prostate Cancer Network, was far more unequivocal, saying the new findings are a ringing endorsement of screening and he hopes they will encourage more men to get tested.

The CPCN recommends that all men get a PSA test at age 40, and have it done routinely to track any changes.

Why did the dinosaurs die out?

The dinosaurs died out because of a single meteorite or asteroid impact.

Loneliness today, e-mail snoopers, women Tweet more - The Globe and Mail

Researchers now recognize five earlier cataclysmic events in the Earth’s prehistory when most species on the planet died out, the last being the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction event 65 million years ago, which may have been caused by a giant meteorite striking the Earth, and which saw the disappearance of the dinosaurs.

Far-flung asteroid crash doomed the dinosaurs - The Globe and Mail

In a paper published today in the influential science journal Nature, William Bottke and colleagues argue that a chunk of asteroid that broke off from a collision in the innermost region of the asteroid belt encountered a gravitational pull that drew it toward Earth over a period of tens of millions of years, eventually smashing into the Yucatan Peninsula, forming the Chicxulub crater and likely causing the extinction of the dinosaurs.

It is now widely accepted that the impact of a 10-kilometre-wide asteroid 65 million years ago coincides with the disappearance of the dinosaurs along with most of the animal species on Earth at the time.

How many Jews died in the Holocaust?

Whining seal hunt twaddle - The Globe and Mail

It has had some of the very crudest and most insensitive exercises in the history of so-called protest, of which I will cite only “the Holocaust on your plate” campaign, which, in my judgment, reached the level of a blasphemy against the memory of the six million Jewish people exterminated in Hitler's death camps.

Exploiting the memory of six million dead for cheap publicity, putting a “cow” in any equivalence with history's greatest crime, that is “perverse and sick.”

A distasteful display of agitprop - The Globe and Mail

Six million dead, and a generation or two on, their descendants have morphed, by the playlet's indictment, into the very Monster of Jewry's greatest and genocidal nightmare.
