ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. - Utility crews pushed through fallen trees and windblown debris to reach downed power lines Sunday, working to restore electricity to hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses as strong winds and heavy rain that wreaked havoc in parts of the Northeast pushed on into New England.

The storm, which battered parts of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and Connecticut on Saturday with gusts of up to 70 mph, struck about two weeks after heavy snow and hurricane-force winds left more than a million customers in the Northeast in the dark.

More than a half-million customers in the region lost electricity at the peak of Saturday's storm, and roughly 500,000 were waiting for power to be restored Sunday morning.

DOHA, Qatar - Teddy Tamgho of France has set a world record of 58 feet, 8 3/4 inches to win the triple jump at the world indoor championships.

In other events, Olympic champion Dayron Robles of Cuba won the 60 meter hurdles in 7.34 seconds, edging favorite Terrence Trammell of the U.S. at the line, and Bernard Lagat won the 3,000 meters in 7:37.97 to give the U.S. its fifth gold medal of the meet.
