Thunderbolt: A new way to hack Macs
The 10Gbit/s interconnect Apple introduced Thursday in a new line of Macbook Pros may or may not change the way the world connects external hard drives and other peripherals to their computers. But it's safe to say the newfangled copper link likely contains the same security weakness that for years has accompanied another Mac …
Elmer, the FUD guy...
The problem he is alluding to is a bug in some software which leaves the firewire dma controller unfiltered. That is, requests go straight through it to the system memory. This mechanism, Remote DMA, is a feature of other external busses, such as IB.
It has nothing to do with USB's brain damaged asymmetry, nor does OTG add a remote DMA feature to USB. It is USBs requirement that software intercept every transaction that keeps it out of this trap; however most USB implementations are sufficiently buggy that you can find other ways to induce troubling behaviour.
As for reading the disk, you would either need to have the aforementioned flaw in your OS, and understand enough about the system layout in order to reprogram the disk to dump its contents. Possible, but a bit odd. Elmer is likely referring to something like "Target Mode", a feature of Mac Roms since the original 128K Mac. By holding down <magickey>-T at startup, the computer becomes a Target Mode disk. The terminology is left over from SCSI, and permits a handy way to setup a new machine based upon an older one; or recover a broken machine.
Target mode is, of course, subservient to the ROM password; but Elmer likely knew that too. His scenarios are pretty lame.
Keep up the good fact checking; soon you'll be on par with Fox.
Hello, Elmer
Please add some citations or take some reading lessons.
So is this just a software bug? Does *any* operating system do "filtering" on FireWire? Reading up on the FireWire exploit it appears neither Apple nor Microsoft do. The article discusses VT-d explicitly in the Thunderbolt context. OS X doesn't use it.
They aren't "reprogramming the disk". The got the admin password.
Please point me to the article where they say USB OTG adds a remote DMA feature to USB. This is what I read:
"However, in some versions of USB (such as USB On-the-Go), the devices will negotiate who is to be master, and who is to be slave. We found a couple notebooks 6 years ago that could be broken into with USB this way."
Why do you think the exploit uses Mac Target mode? What does target mode have to do with this? This is about FireWire and Thunderbolt peripherals having full access to the host system's memory.
Quote: 'The reason this works is the trusting nature of the protocol. Your laptop sends a command across the wire saying "please write the data in my memory location XYZ". What the device on the other end is then supposed to do is send the data with an address of XYZ. But it does't have to. It can instead send data to address ABC. In other words, it can upload malware into the computer's memory and run it.'
Quote: "A hacker can walk up to your laptop while you are not looking, connect a device for a few seconds, disconnect it and walk away with your data (such as passwords). This works even when your laptop is "locked" with the password screen."
Doesn't seem like they are talking about rebooting the system in Target Mode.
Nice bunch of vague conjecture and straw men. Again, citations please.
@Steve McPolin re. IB and RDMA
I do not agree with your comparison between Firewire and Infiniband.
Let me say that I am not an Infiniband programmer, but I do support HPC systems using IB and RDMA. Having said that, I do understand, IMHO, a bit about how RDMA is implemented, at least on the UNIX systems I support.
RDMA is a way for a one-sided communication (amongst other things), that allows a system (A) to perform a memory operation in another system's (B) memory space without the involvement of the second system's OS. But that does not mean that the system B is completely divorced from the transfer process, nor does it mean that A has full, unrestricted access to B's memory.
Before an RDMA operation can be performed in IB on UNIX, system B has to set up a memory region, and also set up an access window to that region to allow system A to use it. System B is then given access to that region without B's involvement, but cannot (as long as there is no flaw in the HW/FW/SW stack) go outside that region.
This means that it is perfectly possible to have the benefits of RDMA without compromising the security of the entire OS, and if a long-term window is set up (say, for an HPC type workload that runs for some time and uses the window for many transfers), the involvement of the OS on B is limited to setting up the window at the beginning, and breaking it down at the end of it's use.
Now I do not know whether Thunderbolt has this ability, or if it has, whether it is configured and used in MacOS, but just because RDMA is available does not mean that the system is completely compromised.
From what I read about Firewire (and this is just from the Web), the default was that RDMA was turned on, and was not limited by default. This is really the flaw, and could almost certainly be addressed by careful system administration, but if you don't know what to fix, you won't do it. I have heard other stories from various Web resources that Firewire really did have this flaw, and that it could really be exploited by plugin hardware. Even if the quoted example illustrates flawed system administration, just think how much useful information can be gleaned from direct access to the memory of a system.
Unfortunately, the good ideas of the hardware engineers do not always match with the requirements of real-world environments. But you would have thought that someone in the driver design process would have gone "..Hang on a minute, don't you think that this is opens a security hole...", but then I have seen too little joined up thinking in large organizations recently. Too many people still think that a PC is personal.
I reserve my judgement on Thunderbolt until there is more information.
Re: FUD
Target disk mode is very similar to taking the hard drive out the laptop and connecting it to another computer as a second drive. It is well known that if you have physical access to a machine, you can access its contents, and you need to encrypt them to keep them safe.
Yes it's true that with physical access to a device you usually can get into it.
If you are sitting near my laptop and start trying to take out the HDD, you will find yourself swallowing my fist, because I won't stand for it.
However, if I plug my laptop into a projector, how am I to know that it is virtually taking out the HDD? (By the way my laptop has full-disk encryption that requires the key before it even boots, but once it has the key, reading the disk is unencrypted)
To use target disk mode, you need to reboot the machine and press Cmd-T at the EFI boot screen, then your macbook is working like a very expensive Firewire drive. You would not be able to do your presentations at the same time.
One thing I loved about Firewire was it's ability to do remote direct memory access (RDMA). In fact I used this for fast, low latency transfer from different machines.
It brought (for cheap) the ability to do RDMA, something that you'd have to shell out $$$$ for in the form of infiniband for HPC.
Coupled with the fact that I could transfer at high speed between two disks with no CPU usage, complete with daisy chaining. I felt it really was the superior standard compared to USB. I really missed it when USB "won" over FW (I still have a lot of FW400 equipment that I use).
So the idea that lightpeak might have provided us with a consumer grade equivalent to infiniband, with 10gb/s throughput. Something that gives all the benefits of FW, but with new tech.
I'm all for it! The security concerns are not a big deal (even with the old FW, you could disable remote DMA if it was a problem, rendering this attack useless). USB was a POS when was released (although good for it's original niche, which was replacing serial/parallel ports/ps2), let alone now.
So let me get this right...
You attempted to make an article, and issue, out of what is likely a non-issue? Having a little experience with Firewire AND having read the scant details of the penetration I would guess that said laptops had Firewire networking enabled. Also, local admin account having the same credentials as the network admin account?! REALLY?! It sounds like this guy is trying to make a story & get some free PR out of nothing.
Hello again, Elmer
So I should trust your "guess" over a security expert?
You've got "a little" experience with FireWire and you "would guess that said laptops had Firewire networking enabled". Well, guess what. You should read:
Look at "Defending against this attack." Is there a point saying "disable Firewire networking"? I don't see one.
Will you also build my website?
Hey Elmer -
I have a copy of the website here which my 12-year-old nephew has made in Word and he says it's very easy for you to turn it into a secure ecommerce-enabled multilingual site.
I can't pay you but I will tell everyone you did this and you will make lots of money from it
Guessing Games
"So I should trust your "guess" over a security expert?"
The "security expert" is guessing too. There isn't a single fact in this article, it's all speculation and FUD. Explains all the trolls, I suppose, they hate facts.
Gimme a break
The TB cable limit is 3ft. If you can hack through that, you've got a lot more problems than an open port. Physical access to the box buys you a lot. Not much different from pulling the CMOS battery and resetting the BIOS password on a PC. Get real.
>Implying that you can actually reset a BIOS Password that is stored in NVRAM
Me thinks it's time to update that old bit of Iron down in your Basement man...
Different attack
Different attack
If you reset the password nowdays it gets you nowhere. Most laptop disks are encrypted.
This is the equivalent to the "fake network adapter" PCMCIA card attack which was used by people with enough resources before the laptops stopped having anything but USB. You pretend to be a well known adapter for which the laptop has drivers for example Intel Ether Express Pro. Once the laptop enables the card you start using BDMA from the card side to copy all of the laptop RAM. Once done, unplug.
Just because the cable limit is 1m doesn't mean you need physical access.
Just saying. Before anyone jumps down my throat I would like to point out I don't really have an opinion either way on this.
Seems a lot of folk are getting quite wound up about it though. It's almost as if they had some kind of emotional attachment to Apple products.
Physical access
Bear with me as it is friday afternoon, but....
"Just because the cable limit is 1m doesn't mean you need physical access"
Hows that gonna work?
Surely, if it's the port that casues the 'security hole' then you need to be plugged into said port to do any 'hacking'. In turn, being plugged into the port requires physical access.
Unless you are implying that you could compromise a device, and wait and hope for someone to come and connect to it?
Please correct me if i have missed some massively important part of the process which
"doesn't mean you need physical access"
Got it in one
>Unless you are implying that you could compromise a device, and wait and hope for someone to come and connect to it?
Pretty much. Only it wouldn't necessarily be a case of waiting and hoping. If you are contemplating an the sort of attack being discussed then chances are you have a specific target machine in mind, meaning you know where it's going to turn up.
But yeah, I was just pointing out that it's not impossible.
Stupid article
"Oooh, oooh, i got an idea for an article to generate web traffic!"
"What is it?"
"Say that a new interconnect has a back door to allow unfettered access"
"Hmmm.. how do you think it would work?"
"Well, I've not seen the technology, nor have any idea how it works, but why does that matter?"
"You're right! Post it!"
Seriously, what a stupid article. No facts, not even a supposition of facts. If TB is strictly a tunnel for PCI-Express and DP, as is currently indicated, then how in the world can you assume it introduces a new back door?
Do you people even do any work other than cleaning the cheetos dust off your fingers before typing?
Cheeto dust?
Does anyone who knows the Register staff only from their postings and pictures actually imagine them washing their hands, let alone bathing?
When's the last time you connected random PCI Express kit?
PCI Express would have the exact same issue, except for one small detail: most people don't usually plug random untrusted hardware they don't own into your PCI Express slots. Now Thunderbolt has come along and potentially exposes PCI Express functionality - including the ability to take over your system - every time you plug in an external monitor or projector cable.
"Hacking" macs
Macs, if you have physical targets, are pretty much the easiest hacking target ever, no need for FireWire or anything.
Shutdown, reboot, hold down command-S, get instant root.
"Hacking" ? Surely you mean "Cracking"!
By default, true - you can change that though (force guy to enter root password).
You can also reset the root password with any Mac OS X DVD ...
But Windows is not that much harder with a livecd ...
Then again, physical access means your doomed anyway - unless you have good encryption.
Yes...and squirrels riding deer on the street is a danger
I, for one, am going to stop driving.
And no more Macs for me. It just isn't worth the risk of having pictures of my kids captured by a projector modified by Chinese spies.
Well I thought there was a point or two worth making
I dont pretent to fully understand the technical bits about memory access, although it seems that there is something which should be disabled (perhaps only partly) by default, and I'd have liked my attention drawn to this if I were to buy one for the company. Not every company can afford an IT person who is a properly qualified graduate with endless courses, some of us struggle along with limited knowledge due to factors beyond our control.
The issue about the common admin password is worth a mention. Its not Apple's fault, but its a significant weakness, for the very reason that its at more risk due to going out of the office, the one laptop we have here has a totally different password to either the admin network login or the local one (that is admittedly common) on the static PCs.
Can we stop calling it thunderbolt?
i know that apple have named it "thunderbolt" but its just gonna cause confusion, since its actually called/codenamed "Light Peak" by intel.
Here is 2 other reasons why the name should be dropped.
1. the name "thunderbolt" to me, reminds me of a youtube video of a bunch of larpers in some woods throwing bean bags at each other shouting "thunderbolt".... (bad enuff eh?)
2. the symbol to me looks like a hazard "do not touch - High voltage" warning sign. which is gonna cause confusion if say, i bought my grandma one. (me - "gran just stick the device into the thunderbolt socket!" Gran- "im not goin anywhere near that, i may get a shock! look its got a warning sign!")
Not Apple...
It turns out Intel rebranded it when they decided to go electrical....
RE: Can we stop calling it thunderbolt?
"2. the symbol to me looks like a hazard "do not touch - High voltage" warning sign. which is gonna cause confusion if say, i bought my grandma one. (me - "gran just stick the device into the thunderbolt socket!" Gran- "im not goin anywhere near that, i may get a shock! look its got a warning sign!")"
All the better reason maybe some retarded mac users will confuse the high voltage signs with thunderbolt access ports and remove themselves from the gene pool ;)
"i know that apple have named it "thunderbolt" but its just gonna cause confusion, since its actually called/codenamed "Light Peak" by intel."
Apple (note the capital A) didn't name it anything. It's called Thunderbolt (note the capital T). You should try reading some tech news occasionally, Light Peak was it's code name.
Bit of a knee-jerk, there
The attack vector is a real concern - you do not expect it to be even physically possible for any display device to hack into the host computer.
In many presentation situations, the user doesn't even see the cable between projector and laptop - the presenter turns up, plugs the cable labelled "projector" into his computer and the image comes up on the screen so all is well. The cable usually goes into the wall/podium and vanishes from sight.
So anything could be in that data path. Anything at all - a PC running 'evil l33t hacker' tools, or a machine running legit image processing to put the image on multiple screens/projectors in some useful way.
Most of these users also need handholding for the "now enable external monitor" step, hence Windows 7 automatically enabling it in mirror mode (most of the time) these days.
With VGA, DVI-D and HDMI the back-channel is very small and limited purpose, though n HDMI and DVI the manufacturers considered the possibility of an image-processing machine and tried to make it impossible (bastards), while VGA's one-way (other than the ID/capabilities pins) so an intercept can only process the image data freely given, in a user-intended manner.
Users automatically think that a display is one-way, so won't even consider it an attack vector.
Therefore we do need assurances from Intel, Apple et al that a given fundamentally bi-directional 'display-plus-other-stuff' interconnect does have fundamental security - not just afterthoughts.
And by 'security', I don't mean the crap in HDMI preventing legitimate usage of your own data. I mean the ability of a user or IT dept to choose!
Single user
"Shutdown, reboot, hold down command-S, get instant root."
Only if it has no firmware password set, which is unlikely in the enterprise/schools/hospitals etc..
Unlikely? Really?
are just some of the companies where I've seen computers with no firmware password set and, in some cases, no IT policy on the matter. Besides which, in such large companies, how do IT enforce such a policy? If they install every single machine themselves AND If they set a firmware password on each machine AND they never let that password out to anyone AND they change it each time an IT employee who knows it leaves AND no one thinks about resetting NVRAM, then you might be right.
And, er...
None of those companies listed are Mac shops... So your point?
Re: Single user
I have yet to see a person with a mac who has a firmware password set, and/or knows how to set one.
By contrast, most of people I know who use Windows/Linux (even the non-geeks) have BIOS passwords.
Administrative overhead
The purpose of all those servers I assume is to run the business and the business of the business if to make money. Imagine the CIO walking into the CEOs office of a large fortune 500 company and explaining that a large % of the thousands of servers will be offline once in a while to reset firmware password each and every time an IT employee leaves the company.
Microsoft-only Shops & Security
"Worse -- that administrator account was also on their servers, so we could simply log into their domain controllers using that account and take control of the entire enterprise."
I have been to many companies over the course of my career, yet only two Microsoft-only shops.
The first found it very smart to choose the former company name as an admin password across the board (local admin, enterprise amin ... name it) and tell it to me - I never ask for passwords and look away ostensibly when client types them.
The second, different country, the lady saw that I was turning my back on her while she was typing the password ... yet sticky fingers made her make many typos (I am irresistible) ... not only did she say the password aloud, she also whispered that they had "sync'ed" all passwords across all systems to this word, which was the name of their lead product (it contained numbers and letters, but still).
If you are in a Microsoft-only shop, ask yourself some questions ... ;-)
PS: Both shops were in so called "latin" countries ... I would never see this in Germany, The Netherlands or UK ;-)
Security carelessness predates Microsoft shops
The legacy is older than that -- Microsoft just made it fashionable. Many years ago, I worked in a Vaxen shop. A new DEC service rep've came calling whem both sysadmins were out. He complained bitterly that he could not log into the Field Service account (Name: "field", Password: "service").
FUD nonsense
What's this FUD nonsense. Before the products are even available to the public El Reg manages to dig up an "expert" and without the slightest due diligence, trashes the product and technology.
They speculate but they present it as accomplished fact.
Bad journalism
So I read the whole article based on a speculation ?
come back when you are sure.
Paid by the times "Thunderbolt" mentioned?
5 thunderbolt articles in one day? What is this, blanket advertising?
@Hans 1
You think that's bad?
The door code for Jazz FM's front and rear doors used to be 1022 FFS...
This title is not a title and while being treated as such, should not be refered to as a title.
You think that's bad? Remember when I auditioned to be David Hasselhoff's car?
Enable EFI password, would-be luser
On a Mac, enabling the EFI password will disable DMA on Firewire, and provided that Apple don't screw up, this should carry over to Thunderbolt. Apple fixed this vector three years ago. So did Linux (options ohci1394 phys_dma=0). Last I heard Windows was still vulnerable if the Firewire driver is enabled, but others more current with Windows host security may know of mitigation techniques.
For most applications, disabling the computer's DMA has little effect on performance since DMA is still enabled on the rest of the device chain where it is needed.
Thunderbolt DMA is a valid concern and it would certainly be worthwhile for an actual security lab to investigate this when they get their hands on a current generation MacBook Pro, but the source article is worthless fear-mongering based on historical vulnerabilities for which mitigation strategies exist.
You're missing the point. Sure it's just FUD, but it's also a chance to mock Apple & say "See how clever we are:- we can direct you to vulnerabilities on a product we haven't seen or used yet. Yes, we've done as much research as News International have - now if only we can hack into Apple employees' voicemail..."
Facts aren't important when there are egos to be boosted, and a chance for self-aggrandisement...
The only part we need to read here
"...Graham speculates it is vulnerable..."
letters and/or digits.
A lot of the comments on this article seem exceptionally short sighted. When discussing a new technology is it not wise to discus security problems that arose with those that came before it and theorise about how they may carry over to the new tech if changes are not made?
You have bigger issues to deal with!
"broke in with administrator access. Once in, we grabbed the encrypted administrator password (the one the owner of the laptop didn't know). We cracked it using L0phtcrack."
I thought "L0phtcrack" was a hacking tool for Windows only, plus isn't that Donkey's old?
"That password was the same for all notebooks handed out by the company, so we now could log onto anybody's notebook. Worse -- that administrator account was also on their servers, so we could simply log into their domain controllers using that account and take control of the entire enterprise."
Sorry if your admins are putting the same admin password on laptops as well as desktops AND the domain accounts on your infrastructures servers, you have some very serious issues to deal with already, not least of which is going to be where the hell to hire a brand new IT department as you will be firing your old one in the next 15 seconds!
Root level passwords for production servers in corps should never be known by the IT staff, only the security officers. Kept in fire safes, they should be available 24 hours in emergencies but never ever used day to day. If everyone knows your root level passwords and logins, how the hell do you maintain audit trails without use of unique user accounts? I work in a tinpot little finance house, we maintain these security measures surely bigger corps must be able to?!
Ah. Someone who actually knows about security policy!
I agree - and I have worked as an IT security officer. If you are sane, you do NOT give admins unfettered root access. Ever. You make them apply for it on a per-server basis, you make them justify why they need it, what business case they have for access, and to specify how long they will need it - and you limit their access using whatever tools you have available (access tokens, temporary LDAP permissions, that sort of thing; as a last resort, you might actually hand them the real root password for that system if you are convinced they need it - and full responsibility for that system is transferred to the admin in question, until the work is complete and the password is changed).
In the event of an emergency, you keep copies in tamper-evident envelopes in at least one fire safe kept only in (a) controlled area(s) - which is/are inspected once at the beginning of each shift (three times a day.) So if root access is needed in an emergency, it can be obtained without the usual bureaucracy - but a good explanation will be required afterward.
Sigh! The excitement was good while it lasted. I'm sure security gurus will find a way to make the technology more secure and therefore more complicated and less useful to consumers. You know, like Wi-Fi security.
Or maybe we could do what we have always done when it comes to security. Ignore the "theoretical threats" and focus on the more likely threats.
Have Windows? Then better have updated anti-virus.
Got a Mac or Linux? Don't sweat it so much.
Got home Wi-Fi in a "dense" community? Turn on WPA. MAC filtering and SSID hiding? Waste of time and effort.
Connecting external unknown devices to your computer at a tech conference? You are a fracking idiot!
Leaving your computer unattended so that the attack can hack into your FireWire/Thunderbolt connection in a just a few seconds? Yes, go ahead and be stupid.
So let's sit here and worry about all the possible scenarios we can come up with regarding every piece of tech on the planet. Because, you know, we all just want to get to that place called, "secure".
@BristolBachelor (and original article):
"However, if I plug my laptop into a projector, how am I to know that it is virtually taking out the HDD?"
Seriously? When my laptop's hard drive is transferring a lot of data about, I assure you, it's pretty f*cking obvious!
The performance drop alone is usually warning enough. (Especially during the fancy animated transitions every PowerPoint or Keynote fan loves to use.) And my laptop's rather slow 5400 rpm. hard drive isn't going to be able to shovel its entire contents over Thunderbolt any faster than it can physically *read* it.
Also, the rather obvious solution to the posited hypothetical scenario is to not use your primary work computer for presentations. Just have a dedicated laptop set up in each theatre. Presenters insert a USB stick with their presentation files. Job done.
Sensitive data should never be let out of its vault unless absolutely necessary. If you're wandering around a conference centre with a laptop full of data you really don't want to have fall into the wrong hands, you deserve absolutely everything you get. (And I doubt you'd have a job that involved access to such data in the first place either, to be honest. If you do, your boss should be sacked as well as you.)
Frankly, all this smacks of someone who's been watching too many episodes of "Chuck". Anyone who wanted my data *that* badly would get much better results using the trusty, "Hey! Does *this* smell of chloroform to you?" trick. No matter how much encryption, obfuscation and whatnot you apply to your sensitive data, the weakest link will *always* be *you*. Point a gun at my head and I *may* just hand over the sensitive data; point it at someone I love, and I'm damned-near *guaranteed* to do so.
Yanking an entire HDD's contents off a computer via a trojan video projector is like cracking a nut by dropping nuclear bomb on it.
the rather obvious solution...?
>the rather obvious solution to the posited hypothetical scenario is to not use your primary work computer for presentations. Just have a dedicated laptop set up in each theatre. Presenters insert a USB stick with their presentation files. Job done.
So you actually advocate taking random USB sticks and plugging them into random machines?
You don't think that also carries risks of virus distribution etc?

To Open Closed Doors Lyrics - D.R.I.
Swimming through black Vaseline
Is my existence just a dream?
Can not tell which way is up
What's below or what's above
Fighting for a breath of air
I breath in but it's not there
So as my world melts away
I pray
That I will be OK someday
And may I not stay this way
Then after that I take some more
Hoping that will open the door
But the door is locked
From the outside

The one-hour course is presented by Jay Binkowitz, President of GPN, who has 30 years of extensive experience in independent optical retail operations and on-site interactive consulting. Binkowitz has dedicated the last ten years to developing lectures, publications and workshops at major industry events.
Ultimately, the course addresses ways for independent doctors and opticians to compete in an ever-challenging retail landscape, as well as how to handle and leverage the various managed vision care plans. According to Binkowitz, "There are great opportunities to increase our bottom lines, the real question is, why aren't we taking advantage of it and enjoying the rewards of being in private business? In-office finishing is absolutely one of the ways to do that."
Santinelli is offering the course for free to the first 100 participants. To take this course, visit www.santinelli.com/CECourse and use the free CE code ST – PRMAG14.

August 2014
Key points included ways to help ECPs profit from the changes in managed vision care reimbursements, new service programs to drive down cost-of-ownership, leveraging social media and the latest product development. The gathering was augmented by notable "guests", including a highly-engaging motivational speaker, industry partners and company associates from various departments. The event provided great opportunities for face-to-face time for the attendees, as well as lively round-table discussions and brainstorming sessions.
Sales achievement awards and acknowledgements were appreciatively given to several of the company's sales representatives at the meeting. Mixing in some pleasure with business and taking full advantage of the "Windy City", Santinelli treated the team to a Chicago Cubs baseball game at the iconic Wrigley Field, an architectural boat tour and an evening of laughs at Second City Comedy Theater.
According to Rick Clemente, Executive Vice-President of Sales, "By all accounts, this was one of our best National Sales Meetings to date. We always try to provide our team with valuable information, a forum for sharing ideas and an opportunity for team-building – this year we definitely hit it out of the park".
Additionally, Santinelli is pleased to announce the addition of Scott Stenzel as Sales Consultant for the North Central region, covering Michigan, Ohio and Indiana. Mr. Stenzel is a seasoned, ABO-Certified optical professional, with over 21 years of optical experience. His background includes work as an optician in an independent retail store, as well as a Sales Representative with Carl Zeiss Vision.
According to Rick Clemente, Executive Vice President of Sales & Service, "We are excited to promote Jaysun to such a significant position and are confident that he will apply his skills and past experience with great success." Mr. Clemente added, "The territory he leaves behind will be in good hands, as Scott's comprehensive understanding of the industry and the regionmake him a valuable asset to our organization and a great resource for our clients".
The Santinelli Value-Edge™ Blocking Pads are made of a specially formulated foam and adhesive combination, designed to improve the edging performance of today's coated and uncoated lenses. The foam material resists high rotational forces and prevents the pad from "wrinkling". The adhesive is formulated to bond to all hard coated, standard AR coated and many hydrophobic AR coated lenses, making it an excellent "all-around" pad. These blocking pads are available in several different sizes and shapes.
The Grip-Tight ™ Intermediate Film is a product which was developed as an added security measure against slippage, giving the lens clamp a more secure "grip". The intermediate film comes in both Standard and High Curve versions. The Grip-Tight ™ High Curve film is thinner and more flexible, and adheres to high curve lenses with better "wet-out" results and without wrinkles. Grip-Tight ™ will work well with any block size and shape.
According to Franco Aluigi, Product Manager, "We are proud to introduce innovative solutions which address the challenges of edging today's lens coatings. The Value- Edge™ Blocking Pads and The Grip-Tight ™ Intermediate Film will be great cost-efficient additions to any lab, maintaining the quality of lens finishing results."
While optical pioneer Joseph Santinelli founded the company in 1973, his son, Gerard Santinelli, has presided as President & CEO since 1998. Throughout the decades, success and growth have resulted in relocating from the original "closet-sized" home office, to a larger 8-room office space, and then ultimately into the current, more spacious 15,000 sq. ft. facility in Hauppauge, Long Island. The company's heritage began in 1956 with Joseph Santinelli's contributions to the advent of the first diamond bevel edger, the Diamaline Automatic Bevel Edger, introduced by A. Lemay & Co. What followed was a series of advanced technologies introduced by Santinelli International, such as the first "on-size pattern" edging concept and the first automatic, polishing edger.
Partnering with NIDEK in 1991, the company then introduced the renowned Japanese manufacturer's first lens edger, "3-D Fit" tracer and auto-grooving & safety beveling capabilities in the U.S. With the flagship ME Lens Edger Series at the apex and the introduction of integrated 3-D drilling boasting exceptional quality and functionality, Santinelli's line-up serves the needs of all user levels, from novice to expert. Additionally, the company's industrial lab products have evolved to include the industry's most advanced robotic handling and dry edging technology.
According to Gerard Santinelli, "Being family-owned enables us to be more responsive to our clients and rapidly adapt according to the market's needs. After 40 years, we're still just as passionate about the industry and just as devoted to the success of our clients." Santinelli added "We've built a strong reputation as a provider of high-quality finishing technology and we're committed to preserving this legacy moving forward by focusing efforts on our clients' needs and on what we do best." The company plans to celebrate the 40-year anniversary at varying times throughout the year, with special associate and client events.

"Adding new philanthropic organizations to our company's roster has been a focus of ours over the past few years. Habitat for Humanity has been a great addition – painting and swinging hammers together further bonds our team!" said Gerard Santinelli, company President & CEO. "We enjoyed the experience so much last year, that we've now made it an annual event. It is incredibly rewarding for us to work side-by-side, and with the future homeowner, to see the wonderful results."
The stylus approach is 90 degrees perpendicular to the frame, as well as horizontally parallel, at any height of the curve. This method disperses stylus pressure over a larger area of the frame than just at the point of contact. Constructed of durable Tungsten-carbide material, the unit's newly designed stylus tip prolongs the life of the stylus. Additionally, this new design reduces abrasion and friction, consistently producing a smoother, more accurate digitized trace of any frame.
The three-axis assemblies, Horizontal, Vertical and Rotational, which control and guide the stylus operation, are 100% gear-driven and provide an effective, free floating center axis of dimension capture. Therefore, the unit's stylus turret is void of obsolete belts, pulleys or bearings, protecting its functionality from harmful debris. Also, upon closing, the upper and lower frame sliders interlock in a "tongue-and-groove" design, thereby protecting the mechanical core of the tracer. An integrated door is fitted on the unit as secondary protective measure. As a result, the LT-1200's technology will provide years of trouble-free operation and optimum performance. The unit's 10.4" color, LCD touchscreen gives the operator a quick view of traced data confirmation, as well as other pertinent information for lens processing, such as "A", "B", "DBL", "ED", and "C-Size".The ergonomically-designed, tiltable touchscreen is highly intuitive for ease-of-operation, featuring an array of functions that include Shape Editing Mode for creating customized rimless and semi-rimless eyewear. The on-screen display allows tracing data editing "by quadrant". Frame angle data entry and/or adjustment ("Z-Tilt" angle) are also possible when necessary, if tracing demo lenses or patterns of high curve frames.
Using proprietary 3-D patented technology, the LT-1200 captures tracing data by digitizing 1,000 reference points per eye for maximum precision, consistently achieving a 99.9% level of accuracy and greater one-cut edging results. The unit is a simple "plug and play" and is VCA compliant.
June 2013
"The Opening Eyes program is one of the most significant philanthropic initiatives and organizations that we support and it one of the first major programs we've consistently partnered with through our 40 years in business", said Gerard Santinelli, President & CEO. "I get tremendous feedback from our folks whenever they participate. Our associates genuinely look forward to these inspiring events and their interaction with these amazing athletes."
July 2013
The sales and service teams carved time out of their meetings for a Habit for Humanity "house build", a team-building activity that the company has embraced in the past two years as one of its favorite 'non-optical' philanthropic efforts. The week was topped off with a phenomenal anniversary celebration at The Pavilion at Sunken Meadow Beach. Stephen Santinelli (Technical Communications Manager) brought together a few associates, who are fellow EyeRock band members, for a surprise performance, including Gerard Santinelli (President & CEO) and Joe Santinelli (Founder & Chairman).Dancing under the stars on the boardwalk, company associates celebrated 40 years of success and innovation.
According to Gerard Santinelli, "It was a rare and wonderful occasion to have everyone together in our own backyard to share ideas, strategize and discover new ways to better serve our clients. We have a deep appreciation for our entire team and our valued clients who make it all possible." Santinelli added "The beachside party provided the perfect opportunity for us all to socialize and revel in the brand and reputation we've built over the last 40 years."
September 2013
The Santinelli International Optical Supplies product line includes hundreds of items showcased in a beautiful, full-color catalog available in an e-mag version on their website, at trade shows and upon request.

In addition to having bragging rights and their eyewear on display, 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize winners won vouchers, good toward the purchase of any of Santinelli International's ever-expanding product line. All entries can be viewed on the company's website: www.santinelli.com/rimlesscontestentries/.
In addition to the official recognition at the Optical Lab Division's annual banquet held in Las Vegas last month, Mr. Santinelli was recognized with this honor at a special company event on Long Island, with all associates in attendance. With over 60 years of optical experience in lens finishing technology development, sales and marketing, Mr. Santinelli has achieved an impressive career. At a young age, he began working at his uncle's company, A. Lemay & Co., where he eventually contributed to the development and introduction of the industry's first diamond bevel edger in 1955, the Diamaline Automatic Bevel Edger. The machine was revolutionary as it introduced the first diamond bevel wheel, which rapidly replaced the ceramic bevel wheel. This facilitated the industry's conversion from glass to plastic lenses which ushered in a new era in lens finishing and fashionable eyewear. Through the ensuing years, Mr. Santinelli launched his own company, which subsequently introduced other ground-breaking innovations to the U.S. optical market.
Santinelli International quickly grew to become the leader in lens finishing with equipment manufactured by NIDEK Japan and has repeatedly received industry awards for both their products and service.
November 2013
The reliable, space-saving unit introduces "tracer-free" technology, measuring demo lenses and patterns within the processing chamber. In addition to tracing the demo lens circumference, its front curve is measured to obtain 3-D tracing data and perform accurate 3-D edging. The option to add-on a front-loading frame tracer, which confidently handles high-wrap frames, is also available. Its low measurement pressure minimizes frame distortion, assuring superb accuracy.
An intelligent blocker is integrated into the sleek design of the LE-700, delivering accurate and consistent blocking results. "Listening to the industry, we saw a void for a quality, all-in-one finishing system that ECPs can rely on to take them to new levels of customer service and profitability", said Gerard Santinelli, President & CEO. "Based on decades of innovative research and design, and backed by our team of highly experienced associates, the LE-700 confidently provides an entry level edging system that will fit in any size practice and within any budget." For more information, contact Santinelli International at 800.644.3343 (option 5).
December 2013
Previously, this type of work was a challenge using hard-to-handle tools that were not designed for the job at hand. The Spring Hinge Tool Kit has everything you need to extend the spring hinge from its housing, simplifying the realignment and assembly. This patented, handy tool kit includes a hemostat-type clamping plier, easy-lock tweezers, a lever tool and a set of three pins, with six varying sized tips. See the Spring Hinge Tool Kit in action by viewing the video here. To place an order or request the company's all-new catalog, call 800.644.3343 (option 6).
The LT-980's sophisticated software then calculates the effect that the curve imparts with respect to size, reproducing the best digitized frame data available. In addition, the tracer utilizes 50% less stylus pressure to the frame than previous models and thereby eliminates the potential for distortion on even the thinnest, most flexible of frames. This is achieved by altering the angle approach of the stylus-to-frame whereby the pressure is dispersed over a larger area of the frame and at various angles, rather than merely the standard 90 degree angle. The unit's newly designed stylus tip is constructed of durable Tungsten-carbide material, prolonging the lifetime of the stylus. Furthermore, the stylus tip is designed to reduce abrasion and friction allowing for a smoother, more accurate digitized trace of any frame time after time.
The three-axis assemblies, Horizontal, Vertical and Rotational, which control and guide the stylus operation, are 100% gear-driven. Therefore, the unit's stylus turret is void of obsolete belts, pulleys or bearings, protecting its functionality from harmful debris. In addition, upon closing, the upper and lower frame sliders interlock in a "tongue-and-groove" design, thereby protecting the mechanical core of the tracer. As a result, the LT-980's technology will provide years of trouble-free operation and optimum performance.
February 2012
The new unit features the identical, industry-leading 3-D Drilling, 3-D Grooving and Advanced Shape Editor functions as its predecessor. The high precision Safety Beveling feature is also included. In addition, the Me 900 features a Radius Measurement Unit (RMU) which measures the radius of the lens for proper cut-out and orients the lens for faster processing speed. The unit's BMW-style "Jog-Dial" operations provide ease-of-use and precision operation, as does the new graphic design color display.
The addition of the new Me 900 rounds-out and expands the company's drilling line. Now Santinelli International effectively offers three different drilling edger models with various features and at varying price levels, all available with a multitude of blockers. The end result is that ECPs now have several options to customize a system which will meet their own lab needs and budget.
Gerard Santinelli, President & CEO of Santinelli International said "For those practices and wholesale labs that have heard about how phenomenal the Me 1200 is, we are pleased to offer this modified version of that revolutionary model. Now, our advanced drilling and grooving features are more accessible than ever with the introduction of the Me 900." As with all other Santinelli drilling models, the Me 900 is available with the optional Click Mode software for processing Chemistrie™ Magnetic Layered Lens System, providing an additional profit-generating function. A simpler, modified version of the Me 1200's technology makes the Me 900 a highly valuable addition to finishing labs.
March 2012
Chemistrie™ is a patented lens layering system that utilizes magnets embedded in the lenses of prescription eyewear to attach lenses for sun protection, readers, and 3-D video. The ultra-light Chemistrie™ lenses are custom made to match the shape and base curve of the prescription lens and provide a seamless fit. Chemistrie™ series of products are a significant breakthrough as compared to previous generation clip on lenses. Chemistrie™ products can be made on Santinelli lens edgers at the push of a button utilizing the Click Mode Software. With the Click Mode software, the operator can easily align and drill the magnets along with edging the lens for a perfectly made Chemistrie™ product. Manufacturing the Chemistrie™ products on-premise with the Click Mode provides a competitive advantage and an additional revenue source for any practice or wholesale lab. The "Success Click Kit" offered to Santinelli retail clients by the two companies includes the proprietary Click Mode software and a Chemistrie™ Retail Success Kit which includes a "start up" inventory of Chemistrie parts, an attractive point of purchase display and a free on-site training session for producing Chemistrie™ Products.
According to Gerard Santinelli, President and CEO for Santinelli International "We are so pleased to extend our agreement with Eyenavision. We have built a strong alliance with this innovative company and our clients have generated great success creating the Chemistrie products with our 'Click Mode' software." Joseph Zewe, Eyenavision's President and CEO, adds: "We are happy to continue to work with the Santinelli team and look forward to satisfied customers making Chemistrie™ products on the Santinelli lens edging equipment."
The unit's robust, dual-spindle wheel configuration is another highly-valued, continued feature. The robotic system utilizes a unique hybrid design combination of conveyer belt and a dynamic tray-lifting mechanism that eliminates job "bottle necking" and allows four jobs to be in a processing stage continually. Moreover, the intelligent synchronization of the system is capable of bypassing any problematic job tray, while keeping the other edger units operating at full efficiency. New, lightweight "dual robotic arms" reduce lens transport time from tray to chuck by over fifty percent.
According to Gerard Santinelli, company President & CEO, "This incredibly robust and innovative system provides the best jobs-per-square-foot ratio ever introduced. We're very excited to unveil this innovative system at Vision Expo East and equally excited about its ability to assist high-volume labs throughout the country."
The three-day meeting was designed to analyze and strengthen all processes from a client's perspective. Methods on increasing product knowledge and decreasing cost of ownership were solidified to enhance overall client experiences, relationships and communication. Furthermore, high level technical training was performed, ensuring the team was ready for whatever missions lie ahead.While celebrating incredible successes of 2011, strategic plans were set in place for numerous initiatives throughout 2012.
April 2012
"We all just loved being a part of this worthwhile cause and giving back to the community," said Gerard Santinelli, company President & CEO. "It was also a great team-building experience. We hope to make it an annual event!"

The Xtrimer SE-1 was designed in Japan by NIDEK Lens Edger engineers with the ultimate goal of providing the latest and most advanced dry edging technology and cutting- edge software — all in the extremely user-friendly, reliable, and space-saving design that NIDEK is known for internationally. With its robust construction yet compact size, the Xtrimer SE-1 will be a perfect addition to high volume retail labs and industrial wholesale labs alike, and will be ideal for all organic lens materials, including Polycarbonate and Trivex.
The all-new platform will feature the company's signature quality high curve beveling, grooving, drilling, polishing, safety beveling, customized shelf beveling, inclined beveling and partial step beveling. The Xtrimer SE-1 will be available as a stand-alone edger and is also designed to operate in a large volume capacity in conjunction with the RHU-2200 Robotic Handing System. "The word 'revolutionary' will come to mind when seeing and experiencing our all–new dry cut edging unit," said Gerard Santinelli, company President & CEO. "We believe the market has been waiting for us to introduce an industrial lab product of this caliber and we are beaming with pride about the global premier of this exciting high-tech solution."

Commercial Motor Vehicles:
Effectiveness of Actions Being Taken to Improve Motor Carrier Safety Is Unknown
RCED-00-189: Published: Jul 17, 2000. Publicly Released: Jul 17, 2000.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-8024
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed efforts being undertaken by the Department of Transportation (DOT) Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to reduce the number of truck-related fatalities, focusing on: (1) the motor carrier administration's overall strategy for reducing fatalities resulting from crashes involving large trucks; (2) specific actions the motor carrier administration is taking to meet this goal; (3) the extent to which the motor carrier administration has considered additional improvements suggested by the safety community, industry, and others; and (4) the bases for the motor carrier administration's estimates for the expected number of lives to be saved as a result of proposed revisions to its hours of service rules.
GAO noted that: (1) the motor carrier administration has developed an overall strategy for improving the safety of commercial motor vehicles (trucks and buses); (2) this strategy, called the Safety Action Plan, covers the years 2000 through 2003 and contains 47 initiatives that are intended to be an initial step in enabling DOT to reach its goal of reducing fatalities due to crashes involving large trucks by 50 percent by 2009; (3) these initiatives fall within several broad categories, including increasing the enforcement of federal safety regulations, increasing safety awareness, improving safety information and technology, and improving performance standards for vehicles, drivers, and motor carriers; (4) however, DOT has not articulated how the individual initiatives, or sets of initiatives, in the plan will contribute to reductions in truck-related fatalities; (5) in response to the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999, criticisms by congressional subcommittees, and recommendations by DOT's Inspector General, GAO, and others, DOT has taken initial steps toward improving motor carrier safety; (6) these steps include establishing a new organizational structure--the motor carrier administration--that has accountability for truck safety and that supports a greater emphasis on enforcement and compliance; (7) also, DOT appears to be making progress on some of the individual initiatives in its Safety Action Plan; (8) the motor carrier administration sought comments on a draft of its Safety Action Plan from 49 organizations representing industry and the safety community; (9) it also published proposed revisions to its regulations that limit the number of hours that drivers of commercial motor vehicles are permitted to drive before resting; (10) under the proposed rule, DOT estimates that 115 fatigue-related fatalities would be avoided annually; (11) DOT recognizes the uncertainty of its estimates but emphasized that providing drivers with more time for sleep will lessen fatigue and thereby reduce the number of fatigue-related crashes; and (12) the reasonableness of DOT's assumptions and the resulting estimate of the number of lives that could be saved if the proposed rule is adopted, however, are unknown.

Manchester United returned to League football on 30 August 1919, following a four-year gap caused by the First World War. The team for that first match back against Derby County included many new faces - in fact only two of the men on duty had played in United's previous league game at the end of the 1914/15 season.
Billy Meredith was still at Old Trafford, but reaching the end of his illustrious Old Trafford career. He made only 19 appearances in 1919/20 when United finished 12th in the First Division. The new hero of the terraces, Joe Spence, finished the season as the team's top scorer with 14 League goals. He was joint top scorer again in 1920/21, but this time with half the tally as United again under-achieved to finish in 13th place.
Manager John Robson then left the club, to be replaced by John Chapman, who reverted to the dual role of secretary/manager last held by JJ Bentley. Meanwhile, former manager Ernest Mangnall continued to make the local headlines with City, as they moved into a new stadium at Maine Road.
Mangnall also re-signed Meredith for City and despite his advancing years, it was perhaps no coincidence that United were relegated in their first season without him, winning only 8 of their 42 matches in 1921/22. Chapman's team that played in the Second Division until the third attempt, when the on-field leadership of Frank Barson resulted in promotion at the end of 1924/25. United finished second to Leicester City, after losing only eight games.
United's top flight status was cemented with a ninth-place finish in 1925/26. Chapman's team also went on a great run in the FA Cup, but this came to a halt in the semi-finals when Manchester City beat them 3-0 at Bramall Lane. City's luck then ran out, as they lost both the final (to Bolton) and their place in the First Division.
Not that United supporters could afford to laugh at City. Two months into the 1926/27 season, they had troubles of their own when the FA suspended manager John Chapman with immediate effect, the reasons for which never became public. Wing-half Clarence Hilditch took over as player-manager while the club looked for a more permanent replacement, but 'Lal' was reluctant to pick himself, and the team suffered.
Chapman's permanent successor, Herbert Bamlett, arrived later that season. He was already known to United fans as the referee who called off the club's FA Cup quarter-final tie at Burnley in 1909, when their team was trailing 1-0 in the midst of a blizzard. Bamlett, though, was too cold to blow the final whistle, so Charlie Roberts did the job and United went on to win the Cup that season!
Sadly Bamlett had no further impact on United's success as their manager. The team slowly slipped down the First Division, finishing 15th in 1926/27 and 18th in 1927/28, only to recover slightly to 12th in 1928/29. Joe Spence continued to score goals by the bucketload but not even he could stop United's steady decline...

Angel on a cloud
By Duchess
from Franklin, WI
About Me Midrange Shopper
I give an angel on a cloud to everyone special that has a baby. It's a lasting memory and gives a yearly review of those important vital statistics. I wish it would be carried year around in the catalog, not only at Christmas. It would be easier to order when all the facts are there, rather than having the mothers look for it once the ornament was available. I don't know where it would go or what to substitute but I would love to put the weight of the baby somewhere too.

Timeless Memento
By Granny YiaYi`a

Purchased my first "Baby on a Cloud" for my daughter's first Christmas 35 years ago. Have now added all four grandchildren to the collection. Very glad this is still available.
Wonderful for parents/grandparents
By Cam
from Chicago, IL
I have been buying this for decades as a small gift to family and friends with new babies. It is so easy to send. Grandmothers love to add to their trees! Even a year after the fact, it is a welcome small gift. It used to be available all year long. Now,once we get to mid-December, the ornament disappears from stock until sometime between July and September--I've held onto baby information for almost a year before I've been able to order.
By Ella & Kennedy's Cha-Cha (Grandmother)
from Bradenton Florida
I noticed in the catalog that this has been a favorite for 30 years! I think longer....as I purchased this exact ornament for my son who is now 34 years old ! It still looks Great! 3 years ago I purchased one for his first born daughter...and now I am getting one for my second little Granddaughter. Awesome Value....34 years later sons ornament still is shiny-Great Item!!
I never received my order.
By Jerry
from Gibraltar, Michigan
I order one personalied baby ornament on 12/14/2013 that I never received. I will phone the customer service number in an attempt to locate my order.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend
A bit disappointed
By Grandma with memories
from Fond du Lac, WI
My mom had bought for my son about 30 years ago. I decided to get one for my new grandchild. Obviously not from the same source. The newer one is larger with fewer and rougher details in the design. The details in the pic are more like the older one, not the newer one.If I have another grandchild I'd get this again only because I had for this one.
The Shining Stars Of Our Christmas Tree!
By Sabrina V.

I love these! I've been buying these since 1981 for all of my children and grandchildren. I buy 2 for each grandchild. I keep one and give the other one to their parents. These are my most precious ornaments!

What does everyone think of a judge who is/was a Communist. Pierce County (Washington State) Superior Court Judge Frank Cuthbertson is a convicted criminal with an arrest warrant out for him from Greenboro, NC. He was arrested for "dangerous weapons" with members and as a member of the Communist Workers Party. He lied to attend Seattle University Law School, lied to the Washington State Bar Association to take the bar exam and lied to the governor of the state to become a judge. He also…Continue

I have a pretty weak stomach and have never been able to tolerate vitamins like Women's one-a-day or things like that, so I was nervous about finding a prenatal vitamin that wouldnt make me sick. A cousin took Perfect Prenatal and recommended them to me. She said they were easy on her stomach. Ive been taking them for about 5 weeks now and they have never made me sick. Im sick with the usual morning sickness feeling, but the prenatal vitamins have been really gentle on my stomach. I only have two issues with the perfect prenatal pills--They dont have enough Folic Acid (according to everything Ive read and heard from my OBGYN) and they smell HORRIBLE! I gag when I open the jar because of that darn smell! Im not sure why this vitamin doesnt have more folic acid in it...every other prenatal Ive checked out has more.
Love these

I bought these vitamins after my husband did extensive research on the best prenatal vitamins out there. These vitamins are all organic and vegan and come from actual plant and fruit sources (as opposed to being synthetically made). For this reason, you are able to take these vitamins on an empty stomach and not feel nauseous. Great vitamins for the pregnant woman!

|Treatment Study Using Bevacizumab for Patients With Adrenocortical Carcinoma
|Official Title ICMJE
|A Phase II Study of Bevacizumab in Patients With Nonresectable Cancer of the Adrenal Cortex.
|Brief Summary
This is a Phase II study of intravenous Bevacizumab in patients with pathologically confirmed nonresectable primary adrenocortical cancer (ACC). Patients must have received no prior therapy. They will receive Bevacizumab as a single agent every 2 weeks intravenously until disease progression. This study will be open at multiple sites.
|Detailed Description
Adrenocortical carcinoma(ACC)is a rare malignancy with an incidence of 1.5 to 2 per million per year in the United states. Surgery is the only therapeutic option that can prolong survival. Currently there are no therapies that have been proven to prolong survival for patients with nonsurgically resectable disease. ACC has been shown to be highly resistant to standard chemotherapy, therefore, it is important that we test agents with mechanisms of action. This is a single arm phase II study of Bevacizumab, an angiogenesis inhibitor, given as a single agent at 10 mg/kg IV every 2 weeks in patients with unresectable ACC. Bevicizumab will be used as first line therapy. The study will test if Bevacizumab will be able to prolong the time to progression. If a delay in time to progression of 4 months or greater is seen, this will be considered clinically meaningful and further studies will be considered. This study will be conducted at multiple institutions (see below).
