Bakers' Best cafe in Newton closes, as focus switches to catering
Diners have long gathered at Bakers Best in Newton Highlands for a taste of the cafe's all-natural hand-carved turkey, chicken and grape salad, and various soups. But when the doors locked for the night Monday, the cafe closed for good.
This is not the end of Bakers Best, just a new direction. While the cafe has closed, the full-service and corporate catering business based out of Needham will take the spotlight.
Bakers Best no longer has a Newton presence. But we're still around and are looking forward to working with everybody for a long time, said Michael Baker, owner and founder of the company.
The company has been looking for a buyer for the cafe since announcing in August that the Lincoln Street location would close. Baker said he is hoping to sell the cafe to someone who plans to provide breakfast, lunch, and diner for the residents.
But Bakers Best is on the lease for another four years. If the company cannot find a buyer, the space will remain closed.
Baker said that by the end, the cafe only created about 10 percent of the company's business. About five years ago, Bakers' Best built a 10,000-square-foot commissary on 150 Gould Street in Needham to expand its catering service. Since then, Bakers Best has moved in a new direction.
Most of our business is in full-service and corporate catering. We literally send out 100 plus deliveries a day all over Boston, said Baker. Customers of the catering service includes various Boston hedge funds, colleges, and hospitals.
Because of the companys new focus on catering, Baker said less focus was paid on the Newton cafe, which contributed to its closing.
I think it's a positive step on our part because the catering has been so strong and it's just a direction that we have chosen to go into, he said.
Bakers decision was not easy. He said that he has received a ton of saddened responses about the store's closing from his loyal customers. We have been there for almost 28 years," he said. "Families have been coming in forever. A lot of people are sad about it.
But ultimately the store consumed too much time for the revenue it generated. The number of people coming into the cafe was unpredictable, creating difficulties in day-to-day staffing and often causing food to go to waste.
The decision was something that was hard and we are going to miss all the people, and the day-to-day interactions with everybody. But things go on and things change, said Baker.
Bakers Best began as a small 500-square-foot storefront in 1984 on Lincoln Street. The cafe moved across the road in 1994, more than doubling its size, where it has been located until yesterdays closing.
In 2001, the Newton store expanded, doubling in size and adding additional seating and the businesss catering kitchen. But the business continued to grow, eventually forcing the catering business to move to its Needham commissary.
The business has literally grown 10 to 15 percent a year, every year, said Baker.
In 2010, Bakers Best marked its second highest grossing year to date, and the companys percentage of sales from catering had never been greater, the company said.
Today marked the first day the company is no longer a part of Newton Highlands. Baker said the emotions are starting to sink in. Its going to be a change in lifestyle for me.
But Baker, who is a Newton resident himself, said he will not forget the residents of the city who have made the business what it is today.
We have come a long way and without all of the people from Newton, we would not be able to do what we are doing now, he said.
The gratitude for all of the people that have actually come into the store for all of the years and the families, he said, it was not an easy decision and I cannot thank them enough.
People can still enjoy the same food items from the Newton location at the Needham commissary. Orders can be taken over the phone at 617-332-4588.

Scott Brooks might be a decent basketball at some point, but his rotations and steadfast refusal to change hurt the Oklahoma City Thunder as they lost to the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals. Brooks did some good things, but his rotations were just abysmal.
The Kendrick Perkins experience in Oklahoma City is probably over. He might get amnestied in the offseason and for a good reason. He was not just bad in the Finals, he was beyond useless. BEYOND USELESS. Yet Brooks kept trotting him out there as a starter and making sure they ran plays for him. Stupid move right there.
The refusal to play a small lineup is also a huge mistake by Scott Brooks. The traditional lineup does not match up with Miami. However, he never adjusted. He kept trotting out that same lineup and it never seemed to work.
The Heat played one heck of a series and they seemed to be the better team. They were killing the Thunder from the perimeter and LeBron James was doing whatever he wanted. However, the Thunder never adjusted to front LeBron, which proved to be their downfall. Waiting until Game 5 to start seriously double teaming him probably did not help either.
This raises a lot of questions for Scott Brooks. Will the Thunder retain him? The two parties have been haggling over a contract extension. I would be wary about extending him. Send a feeler out to Phil Jackson or Jerry Sloan. At least those two wouldn't freeze up on the big stage.

MLB Teams Campaign For Players For Final All-Star Game Spots
Published July 8, 2009
VOTE ONLINE, PLEASE: S.F. Chronicle columnist Gwen Knapp noted the Giants have placed computer booths around AT&T Park to encourage fans to vote for Sandoval. However, the team has a "little bit of a conflict." Knapp: "The people that are handling the text messages is Sprint. As we know, (the Giants are) not connected with Sprint, they are connected with AT&T. So they really want people to use their computers and not text messaging" ("Chronicle Live," CSN Bay Area, 7/7).
VICTORINO MARCH: In Philadelphia, Sam Donnellon reports the Phillies are "e-mailing season ticketholders, posting on Facebook and Twittering too" on behalf of CF Shane Victorino, as the "unlimited voting opportunity for the final spot assures a gaudy vote total, a chance to claim more interest in the process than there really is." Victorino is from Hawaii, and Phillies ballgirls in Hawaiian shirts "hit the city streets yesterday too, handing out flyers and Web site instructions" for voting. Phillies broadcaster Tom McCarthy also handed out fliers in Philadelphia yesterday afternoon. The Cira Centre also "will light up through tomorrow with Shane's number 8." Meanwhile, three Phillies fans "as part of a radio station promotion" yesterday were in the press box at Citizens Bank Park "casting ballot after ballot" for Victorino. The fans are "trying to outdo each other," and they will have been there "for a total of 52 hours when voting ends" tomorrow (PHILADELPHIA DAILY NEWS, 7/8).
Phillies Pushing For Victorino
To Be Added To All-Star Team
SHOWING SUPPORT: MLB.com's Steve Gilbert reported the D-Backs "rolled out Arizona's heavy hitters" for 3B Mark Reynolds, with U.S. Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) "giving his endorsement on the team's broadcast and putting out a Twitter message of his own urging to his some 950,000 followers asking them to vote for Reynolds." Reynolds' hometown of Virginia Beach, Virginia, also declared yesterday "Vote for Mark Reynolds Day" (MLB.com, 7/7). Meanwhile, in St. Petersburg, Marc Topkin reports the Rays are "wearing T-shirts, putting up billboards [and] setting up laptops at the stadium" on behalf of 1B Carlos Pena. Rays players also are "wearing white Vote Los T-shirts with his photo during batting practice." Rays President Matt Silverman: "It's a full-force campaign to get Carlos on that club." Topkin notes there also is "talk on Boston fan message boards about voting for Pena (who grew up in the area) in reciprocation for Rays manager Joe Maddon selecting" Red Sox P Tim Wakefield for the AL All-Star team (ST. PETERSBURG TIMES, 7/8).

The American Geophysical Union, the nation's most broadly based professional organization in earth and space science, said in an official policy statement yesterday that there was a ''compelling basis for legitimate public concern'' about human-induced climatic change.
Scientific uncertainty about the problem, the statement said, ''does not justify inaction'' in coping with it.
The statement dealt with the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas. The burning produces carbon dioxide, a gas that traps heat in Earth's atmosphere like in a greenhouse.
The geophysical union said ''there is no known geologic precedent'' for the conversion of carbon from Earth's crust into atmospheric carbon dioxide, in the amounts being burned as fossil fuels, without changing the climate.
The statement is the eighth the union has issued on some aspect of science-related public policy, and the latest in a long list of statements on global warming over the last two decades by prestigious scientific groups that have reached similar conclusions.

So... I know I seem to pick on Maria Sharapova a bit, but it's because I want her to start playing some good tennis and to stop thinking the world cares what she puts in her hair after a shower. For goodness' sake she's a former number one and used to be compared as the WTA's Roger Fed. Yes, she is a cute girl and young but those things fade and she should want tennis to remember her for her legacy. I want to hear that she is trying to regain her former glory or at least try instead of the fact that she doesn't wear makeup on court as she claims (yeah, right!). Enough on appearances and let's get back to tennis! I was rather disappointed to hear she was out of Madrid already with the unexpected Justine Henin. Do you think she will be able to make it past the first round of the French? What did you think of the video? Do you think she doesn't follow a strict diet? Do you think she is being truthful about not wearing makeup? P.S. Blondes do not have black eyelashes without the help of mascara. Just some food for thought. :)

By Kevin Werner, News Staff
A little rain did come down on the 2013 Hamilton and District Labour Day parade, but it hardly slowed down the thousands of union members, bands and vehicles as they made their way through the city's downtown core to Dundurn Park.
While the number of spectators lining Main and Bay streets, and York Boulevard may have been down from previous years because of the poor weather, the sun eventually shined on the marchers, and their sentiments reverberated along the streets.
The parade began sharp at 10:30 a.m. Sept. 2 under dark skies, and steady showers. But as the police guided the participants along Bay Street, the rain let up.
The United Steelworkers, which recently voted to end a lockout at theLake Erieworks that has been going on since April, were at the front of the parade, followed soon after by the teachers' unions which last year at this time were facing a labour disruption prompted by the provincial Liberals.
The parade also highlighted the newest union organization Unifor, where the members stood out in their bright red t-shirts. Unifor, which held their first convention in Toronto over the weekend and will boast 300,000 members, was formed from the Canadian Auto workers and Communications, Energy and Paperworkers unions. They elected Jerry Dias as their first president with about 87 per cent of the vote.
The Hamilton and District Labour Council praised the teachers and public sectors workers for fighting against the province's Bill 115, while also supporting the locked out workers at Max Aicher North America and the steelworkers.
Mayor Bob Bratina, wearing a red Unifor shirt as he spoke to the gathering at the park, praised the teachers, and the steelworkers, for their hard work, andHamilton's Canadian Union of Public Employees for helping the city meet its financial targets this year.
"You helped us provide for the proper level of taxation," said Bratina.
He also once again backed the city's commitment for a living wage for all workers. He said the more money people make, they quickly re-invest it into the community, benefiting the entire city.
Other politicians who turned out for the event included Hamilton East-Stoney Creek NDP MPP Paul Miller, Hamilton Mountain NDP MPP Monique Taylor, and city councillors Scott Duvall, Brian McHattie, and Tom Jackson.
Hamilton East-Stoney Creek NDP MPP Wayne Marston said the need for a higher minimum wage remains as strong as ever in Canada. While Ontario's minimum wage is frozen at $10.25, there are calls from poverty groups demanding it be raised immediately to $14 an hour. Marston pointed out Australia's minimum wage is $16.95;France's minimum wage is $12.68, while New Zealand's is $11.18. This past weekend fast food workers in the United State surged a jump in their minimum wages from $7.25.
Marston said there is a tide turning in Canada among the public that projects Prime Minister Stephen Harper's political career is at an end. He said Brian Mulroney wore out his welcome over time. But Marston says Harper's appeal has ebbed further than Mulroney's. Even though the NDP won 103 seats in the last election, they finished second in 122 other ridings. So there is more than just optimism that the next election will produce an NDP government, he said.
"Harper is on the way out," he said.

For all of you food critics out there, you certainly won't be disappointed with the variety of food options within a close vicinity of campus. Whether you prefer fine wining and dining or a big greasy burger and milkshake, there are endless opportunities for a night out for dinner with friends or a big hearty breakfast. Some examples include (but are not limited to) Five Guys, Moe's, McDonald's, Taco Bell, The Cheesecake Factory, Olive Garden, IHOP, and many others. All of these options are within driving distance. Establishments such as Chipotle, Starbucks, TGI Fridays, and Cold Stone are located in Stuyvesant Plaza, a five-minute walk from campus. These are very popular with students because of the close proximity.
If you venture farther downtown, you can find a wider variety of eateries, ranging from Mexican to Japanese to Thai. You'll find an abundance of little corner cafés and delicious diners. Jillian's is also located deeper downtown, an exciting sports bar enjoyed by many hungry students hoping to catch the game. If you don't feel like driving or you crave a midnight snack, there are endless takeout options that deliver right to your building. Wings Over Albany, Domino's, Madison's Pizza, Chang's Garden, Dragon City, DP Dough, and many other places make deliveries at 3 a.m., curing the late-night munchies for many a hungry student.

When science fiction is truly prescient
There is an excellent article in this morning's Boston Globe entitled The Screen Zombies by Carlo Rotella. It's a short read and touches on something that has always fascinated me: What will come true in science fiction? There are plenty of examples of science fiction predicting the future, like the computer and communicator (see image) on the original Star Trek. What's more interesting to me are the social and behavioral changes to our society due to increasing reliance on technology.
Much of science fiction presents a dystopian future that is at the very least, disconcerting. This future is being played out on TV and movies almost daily. The latest of these entries, Almost Human on Fox, has as its premise a future were technology has evolved faster than society's ability to control it. That's right out the of current headlines of increasing cyber-criminal activity and cyber-anarchic entities like Anonymous. It's really not hard to imagine this vision coming true.
The gist of the Globe article is about the increasing reliance of technology and the effect of disconnecting ourselves from some of our fundamental human interactions. Texting is replacing face-to-face discussion, especially among our youth. People are not enjoying the "simple" pleasures of walking in nature and friendly conversation around a meal. Either they are busy with their technology or the folks they'd interact with are doing the same.
In the article, Rotella describes being on the T and seeing everyone around them in the devotional stoop (great turn of phrase) of the screen zombies. He also describes his 10 year old daughter not having anyone to play with on the playground because all her friends had their noses in their phones.
Rotella looks back at several classic sci-fi stories to draw correlations to the present trends.
Time for a long walk on the beach …
The middle child of the technology family: Bluetooth
I just purchased a new Bose Wave radio with a Bluetooth attachment and I'm really impressed. I'm a heavy listener to SiriusXM both in my car and over the Net. I've been tempted to acquire a satellite radio for the house. However, it's complicated and expensive on a yearly basis, so I've been reluctant.
With the new setup, I can run my SiriusXM Internet subscription off my iPad (or phone or computer) right to the Bose radio. What a treat! I can also listen to my iTunes library, Pandora and the new Apple radio. The fidelity is great and it certainly beats the annual SiriusXM fees and I don't need to figure out where to put the antenna.

FLASH: CryptoLocker malware is on the loose …
There is a new version of ransom malware called CryptoLocker. It started showing up in October, 2013 and to date only infects MS Windows systems (though like all malware, MacOS can be a carrier). It works the traditional way: An legit looking attachment is opened and it proceeds to hunt down data files including MS Office data files, pictures, sound and video files. Once it finds the files, it encrypts them with a 2,048 bit key, which is impractical to brute-force break. It then gives you 72 hours to pay $300, 300 Euro or 2 bit coins to unlock the files. After 72 hours, they claim to destroy the key.
In November, the developers of CrptoLocker unveiled an on-line service to help folks recover their files after the 72 hours has expired, for a much higher fee.
Since this malware is difficult to detect even with the most sophisticated anti-malware software, the best way to avoid it is to engage in good computer practices, like never allowing software to be installed on your machine unless you specifically request it. Don't open attachments from anyone, including friends unless you're sure the sender actually sent it and you trust them. For more on malware, see my The war on malware and Don't you hate it when you're right posts.
The other crucial thing is to perform regular backups of your data. The good news (if there is good news with this type of malware) is that the ransom code doesn't lock up your computer, it just locks up your files. So, once the malware software has been removed (which I understand is straightforward), you can recover your data from backups. For more information on backups, see my Data Safety: Backups post.
One final comment: If this happens to you, get help fast. I'd highly recommend that you not pay the ransom for two reasons: First, there is no guarantee that they will unlock your files. Second, you will let the bad guys know you will pay.
For more information, see:
LinkedIn Intro
LinkedIn has released a new offering that is pretty cool, but with some security concerns that you should consider before signing up. The service is called Intro and when configured, it will replace your outgoing email server with an LinkedIn Intro server. This server will then add some code to the message that will provide your contact/marketing information in the body of the message. For you, this is an easy method to get your message out. For LinkedIn, this provides them with clear-text versions of your email messages from which they can target advertise in much the same way Google does. Targeted advertising is very lucrative to the service provider.
As you can see from the example above, your normal email will have your picture and other information from your LinkedIn profile inserted. There is a button that when pressed will provide access to additional profile information.

So, being the geek that I am, I couldn't wait to upgrade my iPhone and iPad with the latest operating system iOS 7. I have an iPhone 4S and the 3rd generation iPad. The upgrade went fine on both devices, though it look a long time to download the iPad software update (I suspect the server was getting slammed). One warning however: If you are connected to your work emails, VPNs or other apps, be sure that they are supported before upgrading as you can not go back.
Regarding the upgrade, just be patient and be sure to follow these steps:
- Update all your apps via the App Store on the device
- Update iTunes
- Backup your device either on iCloud or iTunes (I prefer iTunes personally)
- Start the update via iCloud or iTunes (again, I prefer iTunes). It will automatically perform the following steps:
- Download the installation package (again this could take a few minutes up to a couple hours depending on how busy the Apple servers are)
- It will prepare the installation
- It will start the firmware update, which has several steps
- It will restart the phone with the new firmware. On the phone, answer the questions
- When done, I'd recommend another backup
A few quick impressions:
- It's interesting with graphics how what was fresh suddenly looks stale once an upgrade happens. The graphics are very simple and clean. Very Windows 8 like (I know, heresy :)). I got used to the look quickly and now see the "old" graphics as old-fashion. Go figure …
- The device isn't sluggish at all. In fact, it might be running better (time will tell on this). Also, battery life seems OK, though again time will tell.
- The Control Center is terrific. I now can perform several functions without unlocking the phone, like managing the wireless capability (WIFI on/off, Airplane mode, Bluetooth on/off), as well as getting quick access to the timer, a calculator and of course the camera. There is a flashlight feature that uses the flash as a flashlight.
- They've improved the Notification Center, which is also available on the lock screen. BTW: All the lock screen functions can be disabled in settings if you'd like.
- Siri has been significantly enhanced. You can open apps and control some of them with Siri
- From a security point of view, the change to "Find my phone" is probably the most important. If enabled and the phone is stolen or missing, attempts to use it or reinstall it will require your iTunes password. A quick clarification: You can access the phone with your password or pin assuming it's set (If not, then obviously your phone is not secure). Be sure to set the Erase Data setting so that the phone will be erased after 10 attempts to log in (see Settings->General->.Passcode Lock). If the user can't figure out the password, then the phone will be unusable without entering your iTunes credentials. If the phone's been erased, it can be recovered via the iCloud or iTunes again with your iTunes credentials. Basically, a stolen iPhone becomes a brick (which is a highly technical term that means its only use might be as a door stop).
- iTunes Radio — I'm listening to it right now. It reminds me a lot of Pandora, but is easier to work. If you like what you hear, you can purchase it via iTunes. I'll probably give up my premium subscription to Pandora between this and SiriusXM online.
- Double-clicking the Home button will bring up the running apps. It now shows thumbnail of what's currently on them, which you can scroll through. It's really useful (and again, very Win8 like). BTW, to kill an app, swipe it up and it will be stopped.
- To search the phone, they've removed the left-most home screen that used to allow search. Now on any of the home screens, swipe down on the right or left edge to access search.
For an excellent article on the changes with iOS 7, see David Pogue's blog on the New York Times website. He goes into much more detail on the upgrade.
Follow up on the NSA decryption revelations
Last week, I wrote a post about allegations that the NSA has the capability to decrypt various Internet encryption packages and the potential ramifications of that. You can find that post here.
Over the weekend, I found a blog post from Professor Matthew Green a cryptographer and research professor at Johns Hopkins University. The post is On the NSA. It's a very good and more detailed description of the issues being alleged by Edward Snowden.
Here are my thoughts on some of the issues he's raised: Read more »
Report: NSA can break mainstream Internet encryption
The latest Snowden revelation alleges that the NSA has the technology to break the encryption that powers the secure use of the Internet for commerce and personal use. When I first heard this, my initial response was: Duh! Code breaking was what the NSA was founded to do and they have the budget and resources to make it happen somehow. However, like most of the revelations that Snowden has exposed, the devil is indeed in the details. So, should we be concerned?
Before I give my opinion on that question, some background. I believe we live in a very dangerous world, were most of our enemies don't play nicely in the sandbox. The NSA role is to play in this shadowy sandbox, while being constrained by US law. The NSA does this by listening to and deciphering all sorts of electronic signals and they are very good at it. They have a very large budget and are one of the few organizations in the world that can afford to apply large numbers of very powerful computers to find keys by brute force. Read more »
Remote access
There are times that I'd really like to access a given computer from a remote location. Remote access is tremendously valuable, especially if you perform as the family helpdesk. This is a technology has been available on the corporate level for many years, but many folks aren't aware of similar offerings for the home and small office setting.
There are several methods for doing this, though many require that one be on the same LAN or a specific hole be punched into the firewall. Also, both Windows and MacOS have remote access features, but they assume that they are running on a secure LAN.
On tablets and phones, the issue is complicated by having to replicate mouse gestures without a mouse, which can be frustrating (e.g., right click and click-drag).
There are several remote solutions that address these problems. In this post I'll describe two. Read more »
Not so secure email …
I've been following the Edward Snowden saga, along with the revelations from Snowden and the NSA with great interest. I really have conflicting concerns over this, believing we have a fundamental right not to have our privacy invaded by the government versus the very real need of government entities to have access to data to help protect the safety of its citizenry.
Last October, I wrote a post about Wickr, a service provider that provides a very secure method for messaging. The concept is that for messages between you and your recipient are highly encrypted using keys not available to service provider, then the messages are completely destroyed after receipt to insure confidentiality. There are a few other services that have been providing secure messaging, including secure email. Two that provided secure email have been in the news lately are Lavabit and Silent Circle. Lavabit obtained notoriety by being the email provider that Edward Snowden used to securely email his revelations to the press. Both differ from Wickr in that they encrypt the messages but not the metadata since email protocols require unencrypted metadata to be able to deliver the message (see the GLOSSARY for a definition of metadata). Wickr uses proprietary instant messaging protocols where the messages only reside for short periods of time on their servers and are fully encrypted. Most importantly, Wickr doesn't have the encryption keys. Read more »
White Hat Security Research
In August, there are a couple very influential conferences in the area of computer security. The first is the Black Hat Cybersecurity Conference in Las Vegas, with the other the USENIX Security Symposium in Washington, DC. These conferences serve and attract a wide variety of experts in cyber security defense, as well as various white hat hackers and presumably some black hat hackers also.
The terms white vs black hats use the old western movie convention to identify the good guys (white) from the bad guys (black) by the color of their hats. There is some incredible work being done by white hat experts in academic, government and commercial spaces to help manufacturers identify ways their products can be exploited so that the manufacturers can plug the holes. These two conferences are two of several that offer these researchers opportunities to present and demonstrate what they have found. Read more »

Does President Obama's decision to intervene in Libya, and the rationale for that intervention he set forth in his speech Monday night, amount to an "Obama Doctrine?" That is the question posed to a group of analysts at the New York Times.
It is difficult to discern the kind of sweeping vision in the President's words that we normally associate with the word doctrine. This President, to his great credit, seems to recognize that enshrining a doctrine runs the risk of becoming doctrinaire. Indeed, you could say that the Obama Doctrine is that we should avoid doctrines. We should look at the facts on the ground. We should analyze the threats to our security, our interests and our values posed by problems in the world, and posed, too, by the prospect of intervention itself which always brings a host of unintended consequences. We should assess our ability to affect positive change, e.g., is an American fleet nearby and do local political conditions favor an intervention?
In short, the President has proposed that we make our actions fit the situations in which we find ourselves, not try and force those situations into a set of preconceived notions worthy of the name "doctrine." That suits me.

You need to know the size Have it be a fixed size (UUID) Pass a size (arbitrary binary blob) Have an implicit size (NUL-terminated 'C' string) Have it be self-describing (Java string, C++ string, etc.) And, dealing with a fixed size object is simply easier than packing a variable length string.

After making so much money from World of Warcraft players all over the world, it looks like Blizzard wants to give some of it back. The company has recently announced that it will be hosting an auction to raise money for the St. Jude's Children Research Hospital. The company will be auctioning off server blades that originally housed World of Warcraft when it first launched about seven years ago.
While the server blades are no longer in use (no word on whether they're still functional, but you'll need a server blade system to test the blades out), they've been nicely packaged in a custom windowed housing that shows you the hardware underneath, and features a plaque that has the World of Warcraft logo and printed on signatures of the World of Warcraft team. Definitely a treat for hardcore fans.
Prices start at $100 and 100% of the proceeds will go to charity. There are approximately 2,000 blades that will be going up for auction but there's no telling how hot they're going to be. Find out more.

Charged robotics coach fired
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) - A West Lafayette man charged with distributing child pornography has been fired by the West Lafayette Community School Corporation.
27-year-old Carl Ross Agnew was an assistant coach for West Lafayette High School's robotics team. Agnew was charged after an FBI investigation that got underway in September 2010. Police served a search warrant at Agnew's apartment in West Lafayette on Tuesday. According to the U.S. Attorney's office, Agnew was sharing images depicting children engaged in sexual activity with adult men. A probable cause affidavit stated that Agnew was sending the images through a peer-to-peer file sharing program under the name of "Brighteyedboy".
The U.S. Attorney said Agnew admitted to police he collected "thousands" of images of child pornography and stored them on his computer.
West Lafayette Community School Superintendent Rocky Killion said Agnew has been fired from his coaching position. Killion said Agnew had limited contact with students in that position. He said the school corporation always does federal background checks on employees before they are hired.
The organization FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), which sponsors robotics and other engineering competitions, released a statement Thursday evening indicating that Agnew was being banned as a volunteer for FIRST pending the outcome of this case.
Agnew has been taken into custody by the U.S. Marshal Service.

A construction company has essentially destroyed one of Belize's largest Mayan pyramids with backhoes and bulldozers to extract crushed rock for a road-building project, authorities announced on Monday.
The head of the Belize Institute of Archaeology, Jaime Awe, said the destruction at the Nohmul complex in northern Belize was detected late last week. The ceremonial centre dates back at least 2,300 years and is the most important site in northern Belize, near the border with Mexico.
"It's a feeling of incredible disbelief because of the ignorance and the insensitivity ... they were using this for road fill," Awe said. "It's like being punched in the stomach, it's just so horrendous."
Nohmul sat in the middle of a privately owned sugar cane field, and lacked the even stone sides frequently seen in reconstructed or better-preserved pyramids. But Awe said the builders could not possibly have mistaken the pyramid mound, which is about 30 metres tall, for a natural hill because the ruins were well-known and the landscape there is naturally flat.
"These guys knew that this was an ancient structure. It's just bloody laziness," Awe said.
Photos from the scene showed backhoes clawing away at the pyramid's sloping sides, leaving an isolated core of limestone cobbles at the centre, with what appears to be a narrow Mayan chamber dangling above one clawed-out section.
"Just to realize that the ancient Maya acquired all this building material to erect these buildings, using nothing more than stone tools and quarried the stone, and carried this material on their heads, using tump lines," said Awe. "To think that today we have modern equipment, that you can go and excavate in a quarry anywhere, but that this company would completely disregard that and completely destroyed this building. Why can't these people just go and quarry somewhere that has no cultural significance? It's mind-boggling."
Belizean police said they are conducting an investigation and criminal charges are possible. The Nohmul complex sits on private land, but Belizean law says that any pre-Hispanic ruins are under government protection.
The Belize community-action group Citizens Organized for Liberty Through Action called the destruction of the archeological site "an obscene example of disrespect for the environment and history."
It is not the first time it's happened in Belize, a country of about 350,000 people that is largely covered in jungle and dotted with hundreds of Mayan ruin sites, though few as large as Nohmul.
Norman Hammond, an emeritus professor of archeology at Boston University who worked in Belizean research projects in the 1980s, wrote in an email that "bulldozing Maya mounds for road fill is an endemic problem in Belize (the whole of the San Estevan centre has gone, both of the major pyramids at Louisville, other structures at Nohmul, many smaller sites), but this sounds like the biggest yet."
Arlen Chase, chair of the Department of Anthropology at the University of Central Florida, said, "Archeologists are disturbed when such things occur, but there is only a very limited infrastructure in Belize that can be applied to cultural heritage management."
"Unfortunately, they (destruction of sites) are all too common, but not usually in the centre of a large Maya site," Chase wrote.
He said there had probably still been much to learn from the site. "A great deal of archeology was undertaken at Nohmul in the '70s and '80s, but this only sampled a small part of this large centre."
Belize isn't the only place where the handiwork of the far-flung and enormously prolific Maya builders is being destroyed. The ancient Mayas spread across southeastern Mexico and through Guatemala, Honduras and Belize.
"I don't think I am exaggerating if I say that every day a Maya mound is being destroyed for construction in one of the countries where the Maya lived," wrote Francisco Estrada-Belli, a professor at Tulane University's Anthropology Department.
"Unfortunately, this destruction of our heritage is irreversible but many don't take it seriously," he added. "The only way to stop it is by showing that it is a major crime and people can and will go to jail for it."
Robert Rosenswig, an archeologist at the State University of New York at Albany, described the difficult and heartbreaking work of trying to salvage information at the nearby site of San Estevan following similar destruction around 2005.
"Bulldozing damage at San Estevan is extensive and the site is littered with Classic period potsherds," he wrote in an academic paper describing the scene. "We spent a number of days at the beginning of the 2005 season trying to figure out the extent of the damage .... after scratching our heads for many days, a bulldozer showed up and we realized that what appear to be mounds, when overgrown with chest-high vegetation, are actually recently bulldozed garbage piles."
However small the compensation, bulldozing pyramids is one very brutal way of revealing the inner cores of the structures, which were often built up in periodic stages of construction.
"The one advantage of this massive destruction, to the core site, is that the remains of early domestic activity are now visible on the surface," Rosenswig wrote.
