		<description><![CDATA[
Lloyd Alter, TreeHugger


They said it couldn&#8217;t be done. When we first wrote about the almost  invisible tree house to be built in Sweden by Tham &#38; Videgard, 899 commenters  thought it was computer-generated eye candy, impossible to build, and death for  birds.

		<title>The Oakland Soldiers draw a crowd because of plays like this</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By Jeff Eisenberg
If you&#8217;re wondering why coaches have flocked to AAU  games involving the Oakland Soldiers this summer, highlights like this  emphatic half-court alley-oop should serve as sufficient explanation.
