			<description><![CDATA[ Two pro basketball players from Detroit, two gold medals. Not a bad weekend haul for Tayshaun Prince and Katie Smith.

			<description><![CDATA[Brian Sell's blood-soaked shoes Sunday showed just how hard a marathon can be. Blisters formed and popped as he wearily dragged his way through 26.6 miles of pain.
