Anne Arundel County Fire Prevention Code - 1996: "CANDLES which use disposable/refillable fuel cartridges and other open-flame decorative lighting shall comply with the following:
1. Class I, II and IIIA liquids and liquefied petroleum gases shall not be used.
2. Liquid or solid fueled lighting devices other than candles must have a self-extinguishing captive free floating snuffing device and not leak fuel at a rate of more than one-fourth teaspoon per minute if tipped over.
3. The device or holder shall be constructed to prevent the spilling of liquid fuel or wax at the rate of more than one-fourth teaspoon per minute when the device or holder is not in an upright position.
4. The device or holder shall be designed so that it will return to the upright position after being tilted to an angle of 45 degrees from vertical. EXCEPTION: Units that self-extinguish if tipped over and that do not spill fuel or wax at the rate of more than one-fourth teaspoon per minute if tipped over.
5. The flame shall be enclosed, except as follows:
(i) Openings on the sides shall not be more than 3/4 inch in diameter.
(ii) Openings on the top and the distance to the top shall be such that a single layer of tissue paper placed on the top will not ignite in 10 seconds.
(iii) The fuel container shall have no means of adjusting the height of the flame.
6. Chimneys shall be made of non-combustible materials. Such chimneys shall be securely attached to the open-flammable device. EXCEPTION: The chimney need not be attached to any open-flame device that will self-extinguish if the device is tipped over.
7. Liquid fuel cartridges (disposable or refillable) must not be under pressure and must be safely sealed for storage. The fuel container shall be sealed so that it cannot be refilled on the premises and that the burner assembly cannot be removed from the fue"

Wired News:: "One of the government's existing secure networks, Intelink, has recently gotten a new lease on life, according to government intelligence workers who spoke last week at the Federal Convention on Emerging Technologies in Las Vegas.
Intelink went online in late 1994, but the network didn't have many users until recently, according to William Spalding, chief of the applications group under the Intelligence Community Chief Information Office Executive Board.
Spalding said hundreds of users are now accessing Intelink and using the network to share intelligence news intended to combat terrorism. Spalding noted that there simply was no 'burning need' that would inspire people to use Intelink before the Sept. 11 attacks, when the network was mostly populated by computer aficionados.
Intelink runs off dedicated Defense Department servers and has no links to the Internet.
'Intelink was started in 1994 with COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) products such as the Mosaic browser,' said William Wall, previous security engineer at the Air Force Information Warfare Center and Air Intelligence Agency. 'It was to be used only between the intelligence community -- the FBI, CIA, DEA, NSA -- and since it's not had heavy use, it may well be obsolete now.'
Spalding said that work is underway to secure Intelink even further, and to develop new policies for its use. It still has not been established whether state and local agencies should be allowed to access the network and who will have complete or limited access to the information stored on Intelink.
Wall, now chief security engineer at Harris Corporation's STAT computer security division, said that GovNet does not have a well-defined mission.
'When I first heard about it, I was very curious whether it would replace current systems in place, such as Intelink, Si"
