LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) — Virgin Galactic has again pushed back its estimated start date for launching commercial flights from New Mexico's Spaceport America. And spaceport officials say they'll need more state money to make up for lost user fees and visitor revenue at the fledging project.
The spaceport's director, Christine Anderson, says she plans to ask the Legislature for $7 million to finish paving a road between the facility and Las Cruces because other expenses have eaten into her budget.
The budget assumed that Virgin's space flights would begin in February 2014, but they're now slated for August.
The spaceport's visitor center was expected to open at the end of this year, but the center and its theme-park style, space-related experiences is a year behind.
Virgin Galactic began paying its $1 million a year rent on the facility in January.

Braintree, Maldon and Chelmsford: Man fighting for life after crash on A12
10:24am Saturday 12th January 2013 in Local News
A 53-year-old motorcyclist has been left fighting for his life after a crash on the A12.
The accident happened after a Honda motorbike collided with a Ford Fiesta at the Boreham Interchange near Chelmsford at around 9.55 last night.
The biker, from Latchingdon was taken to Addenbrooks Hospital in Cambridge with serious injured and is in a critical condition.
The car driver, a woman from the Braintree area was treated for shock but was uninjured.
The southbound carriageway of the A12 sliproad at the Boreham Interchange was closed for around five hours while accident investigation work took place.
Police said the opening was delayed for longer than usual because freezing temperatures meant the road had to be gritted.
Anyone with any information about the incident is asked to contact Pc Pedro Anido at the Road Policing unit at Chelmsford on 101.

Arsenal bounced back from a poor performance at Stamford Bridge last weekend to annihilate West Ham United 5-1 at the Emirates Stadium.
An ultimately one-sided match looked vaguely interesting early on when Jack Collison took a badly-cleared corner down on his thigh and lashed the effort past Wojciech Szczesny, but Arsenal quickly replied through Lukas Podolski, who took advantage of some horrendously slack defending by the Hammers to smash home a delightful left-footed effort in the 22nd minute.
If the home support was disappointed to enter the break level, a flurry of goals early in the second half would have cheered them up rather quickly. Olivier Giroud netted twice and Theo Walcott provided a neat finish, but the pick of the bunch was Arsenal's third, which came after a lovely flowing move that culminated in Podolski squaring across the face of the goal for Santi Cazorla to backheel home.
It was a stunning demonstration of what the Gunners are capable of in full flow, and the only blemish on the rest of the match was West Ham defender Daniel Potts coming off the pitch with a severe head injury. Other than that, it was a banner day for the hosts.

Microsoft today said it would ship seven security updates next week, three critical, to patch 23 bugs in Windows, Office, and its Silverlight and .Net development platforms.
The number of patches -- nearly two dozen -- is higher than usual for an odd-numbered month; for some time, Microsoft has used an even-odd schedule, patching more vulnerabilities in the even months, when it also regularly updates Internet Explorer.
[ Also on InfoWorld: Microsoft detects new malware targeting Apple computers. | Windows 8 is coming, and InfoWorld can help you get ready with the Windows 8 Deep Dive PDF special report, which explains Microsoft's bold new direction for Windows, the new Metro interface for tablet and desktop apps, the transition from Windows 7, and more. | Stay abreast of key Microsoft technologies in our Technology: Microsoft newsletter. ]
"May has been a light month, historically, very light," said Andrew Storms, director of security operations at nCircle Security, who tracks the number of patches and updates Microsoft issues each month.
In May 2011, Microsoft shipped two update that patched three vulnerabilities. The year before, it delivered two updates that patched two bugs.
"So, this is a big number," said Storms.
The pace so far this year -- Microsoft's collections during the first five months have included seven, nine, six, six, and seven updates -- puts to rest the idea that Microsoft still hews to a wave-and-trough practice.
"Certainly for bulletin count, it looks like a pretty flat line to me," said Storms, using the term "bulletin" -- Microsoft's label -- to describe security updates. "This year, it looks like the up-and-down pattern has ended."
Wolfgang Kandek, CTO of Qualys, agreed with Storms.
"In prior years we have seen much stronger differences [in the number of updates each month], ranging from 2 to 17," Kandek said in an email. "We are not sure this [flattening] is intended, but it makes the workload much more predictable and is preferable to the more bursty release mode."
Of the seven updates, Microsoft tagged three as "critical," the highest threat ranking in its four-step system, and the other four as "important," the next-most serious score.
Four updates will address vulnerabilities in Windows; four will impact Office, Microsoft's popular application suite; and one will affect the Silverlight development framework. That count exceeds seven because one of updates tackles bugs in all three of those lines.
The large number of Office updates caught Storms' eye: Three of the pending bulletins are Office-only, while one is shared with Windows and Silverlight. The trio of Office-only updates will patch flaws in Word, Excel, and Visio. The latter is a little-used commercial diagramming program that's considered part of the Office family.
"There's a heavy lean toward Office here," Storms noted.
Storms pointed his finger at what Microsoft labeled Bulletin 2 as the most likely to rise to the top of the to-do list next week. His reasons: It was pegged critical, impacts virtually every edition of Windows, applies to all currently supported versions of Office on Windows, and patches one or more bugs in Silverlight.

Week 14 Players of the Week
This week, PFW selects Cam Newton, Stevie Brown and David Wilson as its Players of the Week.
The Giants on Wednesday announced that they had signed 11-year veteran Josh Brown.||||||| The 34-year-old Brown played four games with Cincinnati last season after Mike Nugent was hurt. He also has played with Seattle and St. Louis, scoring more than 1,000 points. He joins former Dallas Cowboy David Buehler and first-year kicker Jake Rogers on the Giants' roster.
Brown connected on all four of his field goal tries for the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, including that 52-yarder in the third quarter of a 20-19 loss to Dallas. The Cowboys won it with a field goal of their own as time ran out.||||||| For Brown, it was a solid first step in trying to show the rest of the NFL that he's not finished. The 4-for-4 performance just might jump-start his career, even if it turns out to be his only game with Cincinnati.

Project partner trims beach costs
Date: April 17, 2013
by: Kurt Schultheis | Managing Editor
If only the town and neighboring cities or counties could partner to save on beach renourishment-project costs.
It's a comment that Longboat Key commissioners and other Gulf Coast community officials have made for years, but one that's never panned out — until now.
Longboat Key will partner with Collier County to save on sand project dredge-mobilization costs for projects that start this summer, for the town, and this fall, in Collier County.
Public Works Director Juan Florensa has worked with Collier County officials for the past 18 months to sync the timing of the two projects.
"We are breaking ground here," Florensa said in his office last week, surrounded by beach-renourishment charts and timelines.
State officials have urged all coastal communities to try to partner to save on costs for beach projects that cost millions to perform and at least $2 million alone to get a dredge offshore to start pumping sand onto the coastline.
This week, both the town and the county will find out just how beneficial that relationship is.
Florensa put out bids, due this week, which ask contractors to give a beach project cost estimate for the town's project itself. The town is also asking for a bid that includes partnering with Collier County. The town wants contractors to see the benefit in partnering with two communities to produce cheaper bids.
Ideally, the town and the county could split the $2 million dredge mobilization cost and potentially save on their overall project costs.
The goal is for the dredge to mobilize this summer off the shores of Longboat Key to perform a hot-spot renourishment project.
"The dredge and the project would be done by Thanksgiving, and then the dredge would head south to ramp up for Collier County's project," Florensa said.
The beach project will place sand at the Broadway beach access to Gulfside Road, and from The Islander condominium to the Colony Beach & Tennis Resort (see sidebar for exact beach addresses that are receiving sand).
The town is also trying to obtain permits to place an additional 55,000 cubic yards of sand in two other places on the Key (see sidebar). Although the summer beach project permit allows for sand to be placed at the severely eroded North Shore Road beach access north to Beer Can Island, Florensa said the town will hold off on placing sand there until it can obtain permits to also place three groins in the area.
The sand(man) cometh
The following beachside addresses will be receiving sand this summer:
• From 6701 Gulf of Mexico Drive to 6401 Gulf of Mexico Drive
• From 2295 Gulf of Mexico Drive to 1701 Gulf of Mexico Drive
The following beachside addresses may receive sand this summer if the town obtains federal permits:
• 4401 Gulf of Mexico Drive to 3855 Gulf of Mexico Drive
• 3800 Gulf of Mexico Drive to 3155 Gulf of Mexico Drive

There is an issue I have come across specifically related to the Lumia 920/Windows Phone 8. This issue is not there for Windows Phone 7.5/7.8, Android or iOS.
I have noticed that if I use the mh5 listener function "mapzoomchange", there is an unusual behavior occurring when zooming in or out. What happens is, that if a user is pinching to zoom either in or out, and they decide to pan the map prior to all the map tiles being loaded, the user is stuck in zooming in or out despite using one finger to try to pan the map. When I remove the mapzoomchange listener, this behavior is not present.
listeners: {

The Macau Fisherman's Wharf (Portuguese: Doca dos Pescadores; Chinese: 澳門漁人碼頭) is the first theme park in Macau. It is located in the Macau Peninsula, near the Hong Kong-Macau Ferry Pier. The construction took 5 years, before an opening ceremony by the Chief Executive of Macau and trial operation began on December 31, 2005. After one year of trial operation, the wharf was officially opened on December 31, 2006.
The complex includes over 150 stores and restaurants in buildings built in the style of different world seaports such as Cape Town, Amsterdam and Venice, six rides, a slots hall, a 72-room hotel, and a casino.

Asia is the biggest continent on Earth, a darling little gem floating around in space.
Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?
China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.
Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.
Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.
I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.
The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.
China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.

Best regards,

mahbub_s60, I just wanted to try the NFC in our applications. Technical Support Nokia did not really answer. I live in Russia. Model С7 is sold in our stores. Is there an opportunity to put on this phone is the firmware version that supports the NFC? I would be very grateful to you for your help!
You can find information about NFC support on Nokia devices at http://www.forum.nokia.com/NFC
At this moment Nokia C7 and Nokia C7 Astound are the two Symbian^3 smartphones supporting NFC but only the later has it enabled in the firmware. A firmware update (the announced Symbian Anna release) will bring NFC to the C7's already on the market as well, but the exact release date for this firmware has not been announced.

After read a lot of about Symbian an NFC. I dowloaded the lastest version of Qt SDK and installed on my computer, later I began to develop my application for C7, but the problem is that the latest version of Qt SDK from 21th of June 2011, include QtMobility 1.1.3, and I need 1.2 to include NFC funcionality in my applications. Anyone know how I can obtain this API, because I have navegated for all the web and I cant find it.
Thank you.
it will not work for testing on a real C7 yet, but according to Nokia Conversations, the update starts rolling out in July, an everyone will get it "by the end of August"...
//edit, almost forgot:
this might be required by the QtSDK for NFC development, though I have not managed to make it all work yet...
Last edited by sebastianschaper; 2011-06-27 at 12:53.
Thank you Sebastian,
Why do you think that is is not possible to test it in a real C7? Some people have C7 with NFC availabe, I know some of them. Unfortunately, my C7 dont have the appropiate firmaware, the 1.2, but Perhaps I can test my application on their mobiles phones. Or you tell me this for any other reason?.
Thank you again.
if you have the C7 Astound (RM-691, Firmware 20.37), then it might actually work already.
but here in Europe, we still have to wait for Nokia to release the Update before we can start developing =(
(and it seems that even the newly-shipped C7's in July will have Symbian Anna even before it will be available for older phones)
according to comments from Qt developers, they are already testing with a Firmware called 022.002* (on RM-675 I assume, i.e. the "real" C7), but I guess you need at least a Forum Nokia Pro account to buy a prototype device from Nokia, that comes with the new (Beta) Firmware.
But I already have two C7s, and I won't buy yet another one just because they won't give us the update =(
//maybe I should add that I have already tried the NFC examples from the QtSDK on my RM-675 014.002 (after installing QtMobility 1.2 Beta .sis package), it runs on the phone but cannot access actual NFC tags, the functionality is still missing in the firmware.
Last edited by sebastianschaper; 2011-06-27 at 13:41.
014.002 is too old SW for NFC.
I think you can loan devices from Forum Nokia (you don't buy it) and return it to Nokia after testing your app. You have to member (probably pro or launchpad)
seriously considering to get a Nexus S though, they were not affordable when I bought my C7 almost half a year ago (hoping it would be NFC-ready soon) - but now they sell for ~€300 on ebay, hard to resist...
OK, in this case may be you have to wait a bit more (probably couple of months)
I understand you perfectly Sebastian.
I am a phD european student and I am developing my thesis about NFC interaction, I have participated in several NFC Congress, but when I have needed some help of Nokia related to C7 I have aways obtained the same answers: "C7 dont have NFC", ours C7 can not work with NFC, then we can not test our NFC application.
Some people even said that it is posible to send some APDUs over the 14443 interface of our C7, that it worked fine and I dont know how, because the Qt Mobility dont say nothing about it, only explain how to use NDEF messanges.
Well, we have to wait until end of August.
P.D. : In addition, we have several Nexus S, and are the best. We had to do something while wait the firmware for C7.

It's not that many developers (and lots of consumers, reading conversations.nokia.com) are mad at Nokia for delaying an update when it has not yet reached the expected quality, but for prioritizing others (e.g. T-Mobile US users, and probably even those who buy a brand new C7 here in Europe, starting from July), while those who were the first to buy these devices will be the last to receive the update.
inb4 Elop-came-from-MS-to-destroy-Nokia conspiracy...
Thank you Sebastian. I knew that was possible with JRS-257, but not that it is possible use this API in C7. I have always searched information about NFC and Qt, QML but not about Java.
I managed to compile, install and run an NFC - application on the C7-00 using the old s40-SDK. But the s60-SDK does not support 257.

PEORIA Ill -- The first big snow fall meant one big slide for Peoria residents.
Sledders from around the area took the plunge at Bradley and Detweiller Park Friday morning, following a winter storm that left just enough snow.
"I kept watching last night, and I looked outside before I went to bed. I thought, that's enough to go sledding," said Peoria resident, Melissa Stevenson."That's all I care about."
While some took advantage of the snow in Peoria, other areas are restricting sledding due to the possible risks.
Paxton's Park District is restricting use of its sledding hill due to liability issues of people getting hurt.
This is something that does not sit well with area sledders.
"Sledding is like a tradition, said sledder," Caleb Henderson. "It's a great way for people to come down, get together, and just have fun. I think that is something to be preserved."
Peoria Park District officials said thanks to ongoing inspections and up-keep of designated sledding hills, liability issues have never been a problem for their district.
"Detweiller just has that one run and it is developed for sledding," said Park Supervisor for Peoria Park District, Ray Boyer. "We have very few accidents up there. In fact, I don't remember the last time we had a major accident. There is just your normal scrapes and bruises and stuff like that."
Park officials added that the designated sledding hill at Detweiller Park is inspected each day to ensure the safety of sledders.
The Peoria Park District is also on the Park District Risk Management Association, which gives them guidelines to follow for their sledding hills.
With the ongoing upkeep of these hills in Peoria for the last 30 years, park officials do not expect to see the slippery slopes going away anytime in the future.

Two Bay High athletes inked college scholarships on Thursday at Bay High School. Soccer player Sarah Judah signed with Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College in Tifton, Georgia. Sarah says she wants to study Criminal Law, and chose ABAC because of the small atmosphere. Sarah helped lead the Lady Tornadoes to the Regional Semi's this season, scoring 21 goals and tallying up 19 assists.
Baseball player Thomas Johnstone signed a letter of intent to play at Berry College in Mt. Berry, Georgia. Johnstone plays 3rd and outfield for the Tornadoes, and carries a 3.8 GPA in Bay's AICE program. He says he wants to study pre-law or business in college, and says choosing Berry was a no-brainer.
"It's really exciting," he said Thursday. "It's a gorgeous campus, great program, a great coach so I couldn't be happier. I don't really think it'll hit me until this summer. Whenever I was seven there's no way I would have thought I would have been sitting at that table signing that paper, so, it's crazy."
"It's extremely exciting," said Sarah. "I've been waiting since I was little. I always thought I would sign because I've been playing soccer for a ling time, it's just a dream come true honestly. I'm so excited and ready for my future and to see how it is on a different level and see all the new experiences and everything I haven't experienced before."

LOL! I see it! I love it!
Yay it's up! :D
Thanks Jen!
Nice cap, Hufflebug
I love that you're the first of us to keep your regular avatar and just dress her up! :)
One of my other choices was going to be – in keeping with my book theme – the cover of Sandra Boynton's Pajama Time. I love reading that to my nephews! "Jammie to the left, Jammie to the right, Jamma Jamma Jamma Jamma PJ!" LOL
Oooo…I love that book, Jen. My sister checked it out from the library and I read it to her 4-year-old daughter over and over again.
Since we seem to be on hold, maybe I'll go try to change…
Thanks MissHagrid and Jen! yeah, I was going to look for a new avatar but I can't hold a candle to MM and asti ;) and so thought Bug would like to dress up. :) I tried to draw the cap myself but then couldn't get it to look right, so I googled pajama hats and this one fit just right! :D
I was just thinking…being on this polls comments and the other one's is like being in two places at the same time…like using a time turner. Hehe…I started early on the chocolate frosting and I think the sugar's already going to my head.
Ooooooooo nice avatar Jen! :D LOL I thought you meant you would actually change into PJs. . . :) Though I am thinking of doing that, it's also only 7pm. . . ;)
LOL, Huff…no, I don't have to change for that…I've been lounging in pjs all day!
Anyone have a preference between the two I've used?
It's only 4pm here, so I don't feel inclined to change into PJs yet, but I do have the cozy slippers on.
all day! Nice! :D BTW I never got to say "I hope your wisdom teeth pulling goes well!" and now I am late to say "I hope your wisdom teeth pulling is going well!". . . sorry! So I will have to make do with "I hope your wisdom teeth pulling went well!!!!!!!!" LOL! Sorry – my Fridays are going bonkers now, which means my Thursday nights are frantic prep time. . . :/
I like both of your avatars. . .. I am torn between the martini glass ( ;) ) and the moon pattern! There is just something so soothing about seeing the moon. . . :)
Jen, I'm leaning a bit more toward the first one, though I do have a bit of an affinity for that book — but the text does stand out better on the first one.
LOL, if it had been a margarita glass, I'd have been sold! I wasn't too sure about the martini one…but that pic is definitely clearer than this one is…I have such a hard time cropping well on Gravatar.
Hmm. I tried adding PJ pants to Bug but it looks kind of strange. I don't think they look like pants! I switched to it. .. what do you all think? Stick with just cap?
MissHagrid yay for cozy slippers! :D Is that a real jar of chocolate frosting? Mmmmmmmmmmm.
Good point about the words. .. on the moon one, I can only read Pajama Time.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking, Miss Hagrid – I probably just didn't find a good image of it to use, but I don't want to spend a bunch of time searching for a better copy. So, I've switched back to the first one…wonder how long it'll take to show up?
Oh, and Huff, I should've said "Thanks, it did go pretty well" in my last post. Sorry to hear about the crazy Fridays! Will that last long?
I can't see your pants yet, but maybe when I send this post…
Yep…real chocolate frosting (actually the one in the pic was empty, but I bought a new one on my way home from work).
Nice pjs, PB! ;)
Jen, I like the "Pajama Time" avatar :D
Hi PBB! How, uhhhhh, nice of you to, uhhhhh, dress, uhhhhhhhhhhhhh, down for movie night! ;)
Ahhhhh Bug's pants are up!
Thanks, PB…I've actually changed it back to the other one I was using…just waiting for it to show. :)
MM, where are you?
Er… ummm… this IS a pj party right?… Not a Skinny Dip?
Ooooh I should put a button in front since her PJ top is all scrunched up. . . but yes, it is there! :)
Oh, I see the pants now…but you're right, they don't quite look like pant. It kind of looks like he's standing within a striped enclosure of some kind, LOL.
Awww, very cute, Huff :D
OK now you can see her top buttons! :)
LOL Won don't say that too loudly. . . we are expecting MM any time!!! ;)
Thanks PBB!
True Jen!
Bug tells me she prefers her yellow PJs wth black polka dots, in any case. She doesn't like looking like a jail bird from candyland. Such an opinionated bug!!!
Jail bird… ROFL

How to Remove Burn Marks on Rugs:
If a cigarette or candle burn on your carpet has you steaming, here's a solution that will cool you off. While there's no way to make your carpet look brand-new, you can remove and replace the singed fibers so that you're the only one who'll know the marks were there.
- Gently rub the burned area with lightweight sandpaper or steel wool to remove the melted fibers.
- Brush or vacuum the burned area to remove any ashes or loose singed fiber. If the burn marks are gone, you can stop here. If you can still see the burn, you'll need to remove and replace that area of carpeting (steps 3 through 8).
- Carefully cut out the damaged area with a carpet knife or a utility knife (see A), extending your cut at least 2 inches (5 cm) beyond the burn edges. Make sure you cut only the carpet backing--not your floor beneath.
- Place the cutout on a piece of paper. Trace with a pencil and cut out the pattern.
- Place your template on a carpet remnant. Or you can use carpet from an inconspicuous area, such as the back of a closet. Cut and remove the replacement carpet patch.
- Using a glue gun, cover the back side of the replacement carpet with carpet glue and set the piece in place. Rim the edges with glue to prevent the patch from being dislodged during routine cleaning or use.
- Blend and seal the seams by rolling over the patched area with a carpet tractor (see B).
- Allow the carpet to dry thoroughly before foot traffic resumes.
Tips & Warnings:
- You can find carpet glue and a carpet tractor at most hardware or home supply stores.
- If the burns don't go all the way down to the carpet backing or you're leery about cutting and pasting, you can trim the fibers from the burn hole and glue in replacement fibers. Clip new fibers from a fresh patch of carpet and glue them
How to Choose a Rug for Any Room?
- Choose what size rug you want. When deciding this, you may want to take into consideration how you want the room to feel. A big rug in a big room can give the room a more formal feel. A rug that hugs the walls of a bedroom gives the room a warmer, snugger feel.
- Select the shape of the rug. Shape is very important because it has a big impact. A free-form rug can add excitement to a room that may feel too stuffy. Round, circular rugs are unique and can soften the angles of a more conventional room. You can also have the shape of a rug copy the shape of the piece of furniture sitting on top of it. An example of this is a round rug under a round coffee table or a large rectangular rug under a dining room table.
- Decide what color you want your rug to be. Color can be extremely powerful. It can invoke different moods. Examples of this would be how darker rugs give rooms a cozier feel or how bold colored rugs can give rooms a more playful feel. Color can be chosen for practical reasons as well. You may want to use darker tones in rooms that will be getting more foot traffic. If you want to make a room seem larger, lighter tones are the way to go. And remember that not everything in the room needs to match. Look at the flooring, paint color, furniture and other accessories in the room and try to get a color that blends with these. You can also get a rug with varying tones that will pick up color already in the room.
- Pick the type of pattern you want for your rug. Patterns can bring visual interest to a room by adding depth and perception. Graphic rugs can bring darker rooms to life. Patterns also have the great function of being more forgiving to heavy foot traffic. The more pattern a rug has, usually the lower maintenance it is. And don't forget that you can have more than one pattern in a room. There just needs to be a shared motif or color.
- Choose what type of weave you want your rug to have. The type of weave or texture a rug has, along with its color, sets the personality of a room. When deciding on the type of weave you want, take into consideration where the rug will be in your home and how much use it will be getting. You may end up choosing one depending on how hard or easy it is to clean. Decide on its purpose and find out if it's going to be durable or if you are just going to use it for luxury purposes.

Metro police have charged three persons in connection to a shooting in south Nashville Friday which left two people hurt.
Investigators say the incident began about 4 p.m. when a black SUV approached an 18-year-old male near a home in the 400 block of Moore Avenue, which is near Nolensville Pike and Wedgewood Avenue.
Investigators say Terrell Matthews, 23, Kimberly Booker, 21, and a 17-year-old male, came to the teen's residence for a drug transaction.
When the 18-year-old joined the trio inside the vehicle, Matthews allegedly pulled a gun on him.
During a struggle, the 18-year-old was shot in the shoulder and Matthews in the leg.
One of the teen's relatives heard the shots and came outside to find Matthews physically on top of him.
That relative hit Matthews in the head with a hammer in defense of the teen.
While this was taking place, Kimberly and the 17-year-old male drove away in the SUV.
Another relative, who has a handgun carry permit, held Matthews at gunpoint until police arrived.
The 18-year-old and Matthews were taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center with non-life threatening wounds.
Matthews was released during the night.
The 18-year-old was admitted.
During the investigation, the SUV was recovered and police were able to take Booker and the 17-year-old into custody.
All three defendants are charged with especially aggravated robbery.
Matthews and Kimberly Booker are being held in lieu of $100,000 bond each.
The 17-year-old is charged at Juvenile Court.

Michael Andretti, descendant of the world famous auto racing family of Mario Andretti, found himself fired unexpectedly by Donald Trump, the host of Celebrity Apprentice. Playing the game with the hopes of winning for a cancer charity, the race car driver lost an automotive challenge when he failed to post in the drivers seat. Letting comedian Adam Carolla take the wheel as project manager on a challenge to launch a marketing campaign for a new Buick was a costly mistake for the competitor. The men's team lost the challenge to the ladies after Carolla's comedy offended auto executives. But Andretti did not (technically) botch anything — so why did Trump send him packing early?
Former Champion Auto Racing Teams (CART) and Formula One race car driver, Michael Andretti, competed on the 2012 season of Celebrity Apprentice, hosted by business magnate Donald Trump. Andretti, son of Mario Andretti, one of the most successful drivers in American champion auto racing, owns Andretti Autosports in the IndyCar Series. He was also one of the first men fired from the men's team on the reality TV series.
The show aired on NBC Sunday night, and Andretti was sent home early March 11th when he disappointed Buick auto executives by giving the lead on a marketing project to car show host Adam Carolla. But get this — the race car driver was never supposed to be on the show to begin with; he took the gig as a favor to his son who was in mourning after a race car crash that killed friend Dan Whedon unexpectedly.
Andretti was there hoping to win the $250,000 prize for his charity, Racing for Cancer. The charity aims to raise awareness and help raise funds for research to find a cure. Cancer affects an estimated 28 million people worldwide and is one of the most insidious health conditions and life threatening diseases known to man. Michael Andretti knows the threat personally. The mother of one of his racers died, prompting Andretti to help start the charity, according to Fox8 news. Racing for Cancer founder Tom Vossman recently completed a 2800 mile bike ride to raise awareness. That's one mile for every 10,000 victims of the disease.
As a 501(c)(3) organization, Vossman founded Racing for Cancer to unite fans and professionals and motorsports racing to help fund various research and support organizations toward finding more effective treatments and ultimately a cure for cancer. Vossman says one hundred percent of the organization's net proceeds go to funding prevention, early detection, and treatments.
As one of the premier names in the motorsports world, Michael Andretti has lent his name and fame to the organizations stated motto: "Helping Pick Up the Pace… One Fan at a Time!" And Andretti knows a little something about owning and operating a business. His ORG home organization solutions is dedicated to organizing and putting a fresher face on both garage and home.
That's why Donald Trump claimed he and the execs from Buick were so shocked that Andretti did not step up and claim the project manager position for the auto marketing challenge. After all, what could have been a bigger coup for him than winning a challenge related to cars rather than letting bully Adam Carolla take the lead — or a better free press op for Buick?
That's the real reason Michael Andretti was kicked off early — because he pretended that he was not qualified to lead a team or participate in marketing an automotive product. Since he'd already given quotes like the one below, his deferring to Carolla seemed more like a tactic employed that would exempt him from really participating.
WFSB Eyewitness News reported:
"Our garage was a mess, and our stuff was all over the place. Not only did we need to get our things in order, we wanted to do it with style. It was important to me and my wife, Jodi, that our garage could reflect the same level of style as the rest of our home," said Michael Andretti.
Can't understand what it means to appreciate the aesthetic balance of an automobile or to sell it as something you spend time in as an environment, Michael? Don't know how to organize a project, hire and manage staff, or work together with a team to set a tone for a presentation? Viewers did not buy the argument. Neither did Donald Trump, leading him to fire both comic Adam Carolla for simply being himself and Andretti for failing to rise to the challenge that could have benefited the car company and won money for his charity.
So it still comes as a surprise that Andretti can's figure out why Trump cut him from the men's team. Huffington Post reports, "Andretti was still baffled at how harshly Donald and Ivanka Trump criticized his team for allocating its personnel incorrectly. "I still don't understand the logic 100%. I thought we were judged on how we did the task, but we were judged because we didn't use people in the right positions … I didn't understand the logic there," he lamented. " The driver appeared for a celebrity interview on Good Day New York the morning after the show aired.
But Racing for Cancer is not Andretti's only humanitarian and charitable activity — so he probably did not feel too bad about losing. In 2003, he was featured in America's Athletes Charity Book along with other star celeb names like boxer Evander Holyfield, track and field star Marion Jones, and Harlem Globetrotter Meadowlark Lemon. He also was on hand for Breakfast with the Fans at several racetracks, raising over $8,000 for charity during those events.That means Andretti is likely to help the group raise funds even if he was not going to get them from Donald Trump or the folks at Celebrity Apprentice. [At least we hope he will follow through by helping them with future fund raising.]
It was simply unfortunate that the rather shy and reserved race car driver got kicked off the show so early, but we understand why Trump fired him early. After all, watching other players like Lou Ferrigno (the deaf actor who played the Incredible Hulk on TV), Arsenio Hall (the former late night talk show host who everyone is trying to figure out if he is gay or not now), and Dee Snyder (the rock star who injured his hand while filming the Medieval segment of Celebrity Apprentice) act as project managers will be far more entertaining.
