Washington-area residents cautiously tried to return to life as usual, some venturing out on icy sidewalks and slow-running subway trains while others continued to regroup from the record weekend snowfall before Tuesday afternoon, when another storm is expected. Streets and sidewalks were empty, largely because federal agencies closed, as have most school districts. Thousands of service-industry workers and other employees, however, crowded subway stations after they opened at 7 a.m. — two hours later than usual.

A woman's chance of having a child with autism increases substantially as she ages, but the risk may be less for older dads than previously suggested, a new study analyzing more than 5 million births found.

Mothers older than 40 were about 50 percent more likely to have a child with autism than those in their 20s; the risk for fathers older than 40 was 36 percent higher than for men in their 20s. ...

The wrong answer to this question could severely affect the increased use ...
