Children often grow up dreaming that, one day, they’ll be able to fly. JT Holmes was one of those kids, and he’s come about as close as anyone on the planet. He and his so-called “birdmen” crew use special suits that enable them to soar off peaks and through valleys across the globe. But nothing could have quite prepared him for his most death-defying jump so far, when producers of the new “Transformers” movie came calling. At first glance, the birdmen soaring through the Chicago skyline seem like computer-generated creations, “Early Show” co-anchor Chris Wragge reported. But what they do is very real. Holmes and his daredevils plunge from the relative safety of the Willis Tower roof, 1,400 feet above the street, to take flight in the Windy City. Rob Bruce, director of photography for the film, told CBS News, “These are actual people flying wing suits in a downtown city environment, which has never been done before.” For his new film, “Transformers: Dark of the Moon,” director Michael Bay tapped extreme sports athlete Holmes and his crew of high-flying birdmen to give moviegoers a spellbinding look at this type of base-jumping. Bay discovered the team, according to Holmes, from a “60 Minutes report. Holmes said, “(Bay) saw Julian and I flying around mountains in Norway. He called Spielberg and was like, ‘I gotta have wingsuits in ‘Transformers 3.'”...

(CBS/AP) CAIRO – Egypt’s official news agency said the country’s top generals are holding an “emergency meeting” to discuss the surprise decision by the president to recall the dissolved, Islamist-dominated parliament. The Middle East News Agency said the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces that comprises top military chiefs was meeting Sunday to “review and discuss the consequences” of President Mohammed Morsi’s decision earlier today. Morsi on Sunday ordered the country’s Islamist-dominated parliament to reconvene in defiance of a military decree dissolving the legislature last month following a court ruling that a third of its members were illegally elected, the state news agency reported. The decree by Morsi, a longtime Muslim Brotherhood member and Egypt’s first democratically-elected president, also called for 바카라사이트 new parliamentary elections to be held within 60 days of the adoption of a new constitution for the country, which is not expected before late this year.

(AP) STONEHENGE, England – Rain-sodden crowds welcomed a spectacularly wet summer solstice at Stonehenge in true British fashion Thursday: With stoicism and wit. So bad was the downpour that even one of Britain’s latter-day druids – fixtures of the annual celebration – was forced to seek refuge with journalists in a tent set up near the entrance. “It’s a wash,” said King Arthur Pendragon, his fine white beard turned into a soggy silver sponge. “Literally.” English Heritage put the crowd at the summer festival at 14,500, well below figures which typically hover around 20,000. But through the wind and rain, drummers inside the ancient stone circle kept up their thumping rhythm, new age pagans kept up their chaotic dance, and visitors kept up their sense of humor.

The ancient stone circle on the Salisbury Plain about 80 miles southwest of London, was built in three phases between 3000 B.C. and 1600 B.C. It is one of Britain’s most...
