MASSENA As the village prepares to install new water lines for residents of Highland and Leslie roads, city leaders on Wednesday canceled a July 18 public hearing to discuss the creation of capital recovery and maintenance charges.
Village trustees agreed that the new charges, and therefore the hearing, werent necessary.
The project, which started with a price tag of $245,000 that was reduced down to $100,000 by the boards May meeting, now has a price tag of a little more than $60,000, with a bid for materials and supplies to be installed by the villages Department of Public Works crew received for $60,314.65.
I just say we do it. We have the money saved for it, said Mayor James F. Hidy, who at one time supported the additional fees. I would like to do it with $60,000 from the fund balance that our water system has.
Trustee Francis J. Carvel, who has argued against the fees at previous meetings, agreed.
I agree with that 100 percent, he said. With all of the projects we have done recently we have not gone out and set any new fees for any of those projects.
Mr. Carvel said regardless of where the pipe lies, it is owned by the village and therefore the villages responsibility.
Im tired of fighting over this, he said. Its a village piece of property. We own it, so lets take care of it.
Trustee Patricia K. Wilson supported the fees, but said, with some hesitation, if not creating and collecting the fees was the direction the board wanted to go, she was fine with that.
My concern is with the aging infrastructure the village has it could be moments before the next major infrastructure issue, she said.
Should another problem arise, the village may not have the money available to pay for the next set of repairs.
The proposal called for Highland and Leslie Road residents to pay 85 percent of the projects costs, with village residents paying the rest.
Residents of the affected community would have paid a total of $49.63 per year in additional fees with village residents paying an additional $7.05.

Wild seas, wild skies - it was just a great experience to be shivering there watching this unfold. It took me a while to realise that the distant red beam was a rainbow I was capturing!

Lemon Tree Treasures
Here we have three old clear glass bottles. Presently, old primitive bottles are very popular, unusual home decorations . They are gaining in popularity and they make authentic decorations for the home or office.
The first bottle is an old Watkins glass apothecary bottle. This bottle measures 6" tall x 2-1/4" wide. The bottle has no cracks or chips. It has a diamond with an "I" in the middle on the bottom (made by Illinios Glass --??? )...
Lemon Tree Treasures
This is an old bottle. It held Cream of Almonds. This was a very old type skin conditioner or emollient. It was made by Harmony of Boston. It contained 5% alcohol. It was used for every type of skin problem--sunburns, chapped skin, windburn, shaving burns, etc.. The bottle is in good condition but there are some tears and paper holes on the neck collar of the bottle. See photos.
All Items : Scientific and Medical : Pre 1930 item #1016756
Lemon Tree Treasures
This is a pair of OLD bifocals with the original case. The inside of the nose piece says 12KG gold wire. There's a small chip on the bottom edge of one lens. See photo. The inside of the case says the doctor was Dr. Barton of Middlesboro, KY. See the PHOTO ENLARGEMENT # 3. I wonder if the date of these glasses is 1910. I do not know that for sure.!!!!! On the nose piece there is a mark we cannot read --10/10 --?????? Or is it 101-10 ??? Your guess is as good as ours...

Select shots from the Fire's match vs. New England
CREDIT: USA Today Sports Images
The Fire head east for another six pointer Saturday night, facing a slumping New England Revolution squad in Foxboro. Despite being without key players Mike Magee and Patrick Nyarko, the Men in Red beat Montreal at home last weekend. The Revs got handily beaten 3-0 in KC and are 0-2 in the month of August.
Here are some things to look out for from a tactical perspective.
The Magee/Anangonó partnership – how will it fare?
With Chris Rolfe not training this week and Mike Magee back, it appears the Fire will start with Magee and new DP striker Juan Luis Anangonó up front on the turf against New England.
The U.S. Open Cup semifinal defeat is the only time both players have been on the pitch together and it will be interesting to see how they combine against a New England team that has given up the second least amount of goals in the East.
Anangonó is very mobile for a target forward and is capable of dropping deep, something that Magee is also comfortable doing. On the turf, it will be important to keep the ball on the ground and retaining possession will also be key and I believe it will be up to both Magee and Anangonó to get other players like Dilly Duka and Joel Lindpere involved in the attack.
Any new strike partnership takes time to gel, but I look for Magee and Anangonó to not stray too far from each other and be heavily involved Saturday night.
The Rios/Larentowicz partnership – another potential central midfield pairing
WATCH: Lindpere, Larentowicz preview Revolution
Last weekend, we saw the return of Logan Pause, partnering Jeff Larentowicz in the middle and allowing the Ginger Ninja to get forward and support the attack.
This week, we could see a debut for Uruguayan midfielder Egidio Arevalo Rios, assumingly partnering the former New England man in the center of the park.
Most observers see Rios as a tough tackling midfielder who breaks up opposition attacks. This is certainly the case, but like Larentowicz, the Uruguayan also likes to get forward.
What will surprise some teams and even some Fire fans is Rios's willingness to get forward when possible. Though he won't score many goals (he had five in 53 matches last season) Rios will certainly start quite a few attacks from breaking up play in the opposition's half, something we've seen Patrick Nyarko do a lot of this season.
What will be very important on Saturday night is that both players must know where the other is and not have a situation where they're caught too high up the field. Communication and discipline from both players will be important, but I have no worries considering the wealth of experience the duo possesses.
New England's Attack – who will get the start on Saturday night?
When people look at the Revs attack, Diego Fagundez and Saer Sene immediately spring to mind. In addition, New England have a couple of American strikers that have the ability to change games, namely Juan Agudelo and Charlie Davies.
Agudelo is back to fitness after missing the last eight matches and is a familiar foe for the Fire, scoring in a 4-1 defeat by Chivas USA at Toyota Park back in March. He scored three goals in five games for the Revs before being injured and is certainly a threat.
Davies is looking to get his career back on track with the Revs and has a point to prove in MLS but he hasn't played a competitive match in a few months.
With the addition of the former U.S. international, the Revs have excellent strength in depth at the forward position and have the luxury of bringing on high quality strikers if need be.
I touched on this issue when the Fire played Philly back to back earlier this season and it will be important that the team is prepared to change midway through the game and adjust to whoever comes off the bench. All four strikers bring different qualities and it will be important for the Frank Klopas to adjust his side accordingly.
Prediction: With so many question marks about who will start and new partnerships on the field, this game is very difficult to predict. I am going with 1-0 Fire (first clean sheet in two months!) with a goal from Juan Luis Anangonó.

If you saw this week's MLS save of the week nomination earler, you may have noticed something weird.
Helper to the 'keeper/forward, Chris Rolfe is up for his line clearing header that "saved the day". (VOTE HERE)
But let's not forget that "The Milkman" delivered too.
Sean Johnson made three big saves on Saturday night, and none more stellar than his point blank stop on Justin Mapp in the 39th minute of play. (watch above)
For his performance, MLSsoccer.com has named Sean to the Team of the Week, proving once again that they don't call him "The Milkman" for nothin'!

Select shots from the Fire's 2-0 loss to D.C. United
CREDIT: Brian Kersey Chicago Fire
The Fire head back to Toyota Park Wednesday night for the biggest game of the season to date, a U.S. Open Cup semifinal against D.C. United. Both teams enter the game on the back of wins and knowing they are only 180 minutes away from a CONCACAF Champions League place.
With that in mind, league form goes out the window. Here are some things to look out for from a tactical perspective.
Slowing down D.C.'s new attack – avoiding the Silva/DeRo red herring
United Coach Ben Olsen has used the 4-4-1-1 formation for most of this season but due to a number of factors, namely not scoring many goals and a numerous injuries, he is constantly changing his front two.
In last week's match against Montreal, D.C. started Dwayne DeRosario and Luis Silva to great effect with both players' movement caused Montreal problems, especially in the first 30 minutes.
Both took turns holding the line while the other dropped deep, making it difficult for the Impact to track. With Silva scoring three goals in his last three matches, it is easy to claim that both he and DeRo are the major threats to the Fire tonight, but that argument is too simplistic.
In reality, both strikers have benefited greatly from some fantastic play from both the wide men and outside defenders in recent matches. Montreal's lack of high pressure allowed D.C.'s outside defenders to act as auxiliary wingers at times, putting dangerous crosses into the Impact's box.
With the defenders pushing up high, the wide midfielders were able to tuck inside and support the strikers in the box or pick up great positions just outside it.
For the Fire to be successful tonight, the team must not allow D.C.'s outside defenders to get forward as often as Montreal did. To do this requires a combination of high pressure from forwards such as Mike Magee and Chris Rolfe as well as positive attacking play from the outside mids, which will force D.C.'s defenders to stay back.
Minimizing set pieces – not allowing DC any unearned opportunities
In a cup semifinal, one mistake, or one brilliant piece of skill, can define the outcome. Countless knockout matches have been decided this way and it always leaves the losing team asking why they allowed an avoidable goal to be scored against them.
WATCH: Athletico Coaching Corner
Playing as the away team and knowing the Fire's strengths on the counter attack, D.C. will not be flooding players forward needlessly in tonight's match. When set pieces present themselves however, the Black and Red will be looking to profit.
In the Fire's last match against Philly, the team played very well defensively but again failed to keep a clean sheet. The Union goal came from a needlessly given up free kick resulting in the ball being bundled over the line.
Fire players must not rush into tackles and need to try and avoid giving up corners whenever possible. D.C. may be lacking in goals this season but giving up a set piece when DeRo is on the field could decide the match in D.C.'s favor.
Quick transitions to the attack – by any means possible
In recent tactical previews, I have lauded Patrick Nyarko for consistently pressuring defenders in the Fire's offensive third of the pitch and forcing turnovers.
In last weekend's match against Philly, Paddy did it again, winning the ball and bursting forward before dishing to Mike Magee who smashed in the winner.
Last weekend's match also demonstrated how quick transitions can come from all areas of the pitch.
Goalkeeper Sean Johnson constantly looked to distribute the ball quickly and launch an attack through his kicking. Whenever Johnson collected the ball from a cross or shot, he looked for outlet runs and was able to pick out those of Rolfe, Magee and co. with his long kicks.
Supersub Quincy Amarikwa also demonstrated how pressuring defenders on long balls can result in turnovers. Late in the game, he challenged Amobi Okugo in the air before stalking the center back and forcing a turnover just outside the Philly box.
But for some better finishing, the Fire would've scored a third goal and effectively ended the match. A quick turnover from a player like Nyarko or an accurate kick out from Johnson could open up the DC defense tonight.
Prediction: I have seen the Fire win and lose U.S. Open Cup semifinals and know that games like this are almost always very tight and tense. 1-0 Fire with the goal coming from Patrick Nyarko.
At Toyota Park in May, Philly sat back, let the Fire run circles around them like some mean, old dog, then got a seemingly innocuous free kick and suddenly Jack McInerney, in on goal, kicked the team straight in the gut. That game felt like a one-act play, where the characters on stage build to an obvious conclusion, some grotesque act that you know is coming but still shocks and hurts when you see it live.
This Saturday, the Fire went to Philly to continue their climb back into the playoff picture and battled in a Three Act work of considerable drama. Each was punctuated by a goal. Here's the liner notes, starring Philly and Chicago, two mysterious characters.
Act One, The Set-Up (0-45')
Kick off. Philly comes out first, Chicago wakes up slowly, stretches arms to the sky, makes coffee, realizes it's in the middle of a game, and immediately pops into action. Philly, who tried to come out with high and tight pressure, find themselves being passed around in sequences of quick one-twos and flicks, like those that lead to a beautiful first goal, with not even 10 minutes gone.
Philly broadcasters (the chorus), clamor for more "intensity" from the home team. The Fire look comfortable but ominously cannot extend their lead. They start to slow down a bit and Philly enjoy a few minutes of confidence-boosting possession at the end of the half, including a couple of dangerous free kicks. The plot thickens.
Act Two, The Montage (45'-54')
This short intervening act provides the backbone of the drama. A little character development. Fresh off their orange slices, Philly and Chicago come out ready to party again.
Like Act One, Philly threaten first (Conor Casey flashes a shot just wide of goal two minutes in), but Chicago recovers and takes the upper hand. How predictable is this? Chicago finds space everywhere and kick off a few minutes of possession in the opponent's half like we haven't seen all season.
Cue montage and "Danger Zone." A few not particularly interesting forays forward foreshadow something for Philly, but Chicago cruises.
What can go wrong?
Act Three, The Climax (54-90)
The Montage ends. The motorcycle crashes. Le Toux gets in on Chicago's right and Sean Johnson makes a kick save. Chicago attacks and Rolfe finds enough space to squeeze a shot off - but Zac MacMath tips it over the bar. Go time. Philly go forward and get their goal with 30 minutes left - so much time for both to fight out the end.
Suddenly Philly is everywhere. Sean Johnson makes an impossible save off a corner. Another is cleared off the line. Chicago is wavering badly, Philly is matching Chicago's dominance from Act Two.
There is no music. Chicago fights with their inner identity battle between the disappointments early in the year and their confidence to close games. (Mike Magee said after the game, "I think there was a point in the 65th minute where we had been getting pummeled the whole half and we all kind of looked at each other and said this game is there for us to win.")
Two subs come on in the 67th, as Klopas tries to overturn Philly's momentum.
And then it happens, the climax. Chicago confronts Philly. They continue pressing. The spirit of fight and persistence embodied in Mike Magee and Patrick Nyarko combine with harrowing pressure. Nyarko fights the ball loose from a Philly midfielder and plays in Magee. Magee finishes calmly.
Your girlfriend is crying, but there's still twenty minutes time! The drama carries over but the game is rarely in doubt. A penalty shout scares the audience, so nobody leaves their seats. Then the violin music. A stoppage time kiss at the sunset. Chicago steals the points.

The many Dubai restaurants and cafés mirror the melting pot of different cultures and nationalities that make up the city. Most of the more popular Dubai restaurants are in hotels, and you should be aware that these are usually the only establishments with alcohol licences.
That said, there are plenty of exceptional independent restaurants in Dubai. Cheapest are those venues which offer tasty fare from the Indian subcontinent. Costs can creep up significantly for more specialised international cuisine, although dining in Dubai is normally good value. The one major exception is alcohol, which bumps up the bill significantly.
Celebrity chefs such as Gordon Ramsay and Marco Pierre White have opened restaurants in Dubai. With leading Dubai restaurants such as these, you'll always need to book beforehand.
Finally, for dining with a difference, it is well worth enjoying a dinner cruise on a traditional wooden dhow on the Creek.

Read: The Good That Can Come of It and Who Shouldn't Be At The Players/Owners Meeting
At ESPN.com Craig Custance and Scott Burnside talked about whether it would be a good idea for the players to have a meeting without Donald Fehr and meet with the owners who would be without Gary Bettman.
Custance thinks that it will be refreshing, if all owners are allowed to attend, to have the players hear from the owners why they need this new system and how it will benefit the future health of the game.
Burnside writes that the chance to ask an owner, besides the regulars who attend the meetings, certain questions could lead to something on which to build on.
John Shannon, of Sportsnet, writes that the owners want to make their case to the players that things need to change or that the league may have to adapt and players would lose their jobs to contraction.
Pittsburgh writer Josh Yohe says, "Consensus from players: They don't care if Bettman is around or not. They do care if Jacobs and same old owners are present at next meeting."
Dave Stubbs spoke with Marty Brodeur and tweeted "I'm open to any idea. When Bettman or Jacobs aren't around, I think people act differently"
7:45AM: In the NY Post, Mark Everson and Larry Brooks write that the players don't want this meeting to be a negotiation but instead a discussion where everyone can express their ideas.
The players are also not interested in having the four owners, Jeremy Jacobs, Craig Leipold, Ted Leonsis and Murray Edwards, present at the meeting.

Returning to San Francisco Opera is especially poignant for me. Although I had already sung some roles professionally beginning in 1972, my big debut was here on the stage of the Memorial Opera House on Sept 13, 1974 as the Maestro di Ballo to Leontyne Price's first Manon Lescaut. Back then there were no apprentice programs, Adler Fellows, or Merola. I was fortunate in that I had worked with Otto Guth, Kurt Adler's right-hand man, at Curtis Institute in Philadelphia where I was completing a post graduate opera degree. Through his recommendation I was invited to sing in San Francisco, where Mr. Adler offered me a number of wonderful roles.

Consulting the World on Changing Standards
How can Fairtrade bring more producers and traders into the Fairtrade System? What can be done to enable development and empowerment of farmers and workers in developing countries?
As Fairtrade continues to expand, FLO is looking to answer these questions and more by creating a New Standards Framework, a major revision to make Fairtrade standards more efficient and effective for producers. In July, FLO held workshops on the new framework in Nairobi, Kenya; Lima, Peru; and Ayothaya, Thailand, where representatives from 128 producer organizations spanning 42 countries voiced their opinions and concerns. Traders and Labelling Initiatives gathered in Brussels to share their views.
Now roughly halfway through the year-long project, FLO is processing the input gathered during the three-month consultation process.
"This is an impulse for change and we as producers have our opinions toward the standards. Of course it would be easy to sit in your country and wait for the standards that we have to comply with. But that's not good because it is top down. Now at least FLO has come to the producer level to listen to our views and opinions," said Anna Mlay, from the Karagwe District Cooperative Union Tanzania (KDCU), a coffee cooperative.
Bharath Mandanna is the Vice President of The Bombay Burmah Trading Company, which owns a Fairtrade tea plantation in southern India. "We have been in the system for close to 15 years. I think it's very important to keep all stakeholders in the process because it's only through them that the Fairtrade system can become more credible."
Besides the work on the standards, the Strategy and Policy Unit from FLO gathered feedback from producers on a number of important issues, such as climate change and the environment, producer empowerment, economic mechanisms, and various producer organizational structures.
"One of the great worries is the environment, this should be one of the focuses; the other is empowerment of small producers, and no less important is the traceability of the product that arrives at the consumer who pays for the product," said Sonia Murillo of Coopecañera, which represents 250 small producers of sugar cane in Costa Rica.
"Equilibrium between all of these aspects should be the basis of all proposals in the Fairtrade system. But you cannot lose sight of the fact that all of these things are implemented in very different spaces; in organizations, regions and more so on different continents. Respect for this diversity should remain the fundamental basis of the Fairtrade system."
All information gathered at the meetings will be reviewed and published on the FLO website. Final proposals for the New Standards Framework incorporating the feedback are expected to be completed in November. Information gathered by the Strategy and Policy Unit will be used to create future standards and policies that are infused with the producer perspective.
"Thanks to the enormous engagement of the producers the consultation went very well," adds Louise Luttikholt, Director Strategy and Policy. "The subjects, whether standards, support or strategic, touched upon the daily realties of the producers and they were eager to tell their stories and give their perspectives."

In this section:
(1) Base period
The term "base period' [1] means the one-year period ending the June 30 before the beginning of a fiscal year.
(2) Gross domestic volume
The term "gross domestic volume" means the volume of tobacco products—
(3) Market share
The term "market share" means the share of each manufacturer or importer of a class of tobacco product (expressed as a decimal to the fourth place) of the total volume of domestic sales of the class of tobacco product during the base period for a fiscal year for an assessment under this section.
(b) Quarterly assessments
(1) Imposition of assessment
The Secretary, acting through the Commodity Credit Corporation, shall impose quarterly assessments during each of fiscal years 2005 through 2014, calculated in accordance with this section, on each tobacco product manufacturer and tobacco product importer that sells tobacco products in domestic commerce in the United States during that fiscal year.
(2) Amounts
Beginning with the calendar quarter ending on December 31 of each of fiscal years 2005 through 2014, the assessment payments over each four-calendar quarter period shall be sufficient to cover—
(c) Assessments for classes of tobacco products
(1) Initial allocation
The percentage of the total amount required by subsection (b) to be assessed against, and paid by, the manufacturers and importers of each class of tobacco product in fiscal year 2005 shall be as follows:
(2) Subsequent allocations
For subsequent fiscal years, the Secretary shall periodically adjust the percentage of the total amount required under subsection (b) to be assessed against, and paid by, the manufacturers and importers of each class of tobacco product specified in paragraph (1) to reflect changes in the share of gross domestic volume held by that class of tobacco product.
(3) Effect of insufficient amounts
If the Secretary determines that the assessment imposed under subsection (b) will result in insufficient amounts to carry out this subchapter during a fiscal year, the Secretary shall assess such additional amounts as the Secretary determines to be necessary to carry out this subchapter during that fiscal year. The additional amount shall be allocated to manufacturers and importers of each class of tobacco product specified in paragraph (1) in the same manner and based on the same percentages applicable under paragraph (1) or (2) for that fiscal year.
(d) Notification and timing of assessments
(1) Notification of assessments
The Secretary shall provide each manufacturer or importer subject to an assessment under subsection (b) with written notice setting forth the amount to be assessed against the manufacturer or importer for each quarterly payment period. The notice for a quarterly period shall be provided not later than 30 days before the date payment is due under paragraph (3).
(2) Content
The notice shall include the following information with respect to the quarterly period used by the Secretary in calculating the amount:
(B) The total assessment with respect to the class of tobacco products manufactured or imported by the manufacturer or importer.
(C) Any adjustments to the percentage allocations among the classes of tobacco products made pursuant to paragraph (2) or (3) of subsection (c).
(D) The volume of gross sales of the applicable class of tobacco product treated as made by the manufacturer or importer for purposes of calculating the manufacturer's or importer's market share under subsection (f).
(E) The total volume of gross sales of the applicable class of tobacco product that the Secretary treated as made by all manufacturers and importers for purposes of calculating the manufacturer's or importer's market share under subsection (f).
(F) The manufacturer's or importer's market share of the applicable class of tobacco product, as determined by the Secretary under subsection (f).
(3) Timing of assessment payments
(A) Collection date
Assessments shall be collected at the end of each calendar year quarter, except that the Secretary shall ensure that the final assessment due under this section is collected not later than September 30, 2014.
(e) Allocation of assessment within each class of tobacco product
(1) Pro rata basis
The assessment for each class of tobacco product specified in subsection (c)(1) shall be allocated on a pro rata basis among manufacturers and importers based on each manufacturer's or importer's share of gross domestic volume.
(f) Allocation of total assessments by market share
The amount of the assessment for each class of tobacco product specified in subsection (c)(1) to be paid by each manufacturer or importer of that class of tobacco product shall be determined for each quarterly payment period by multiplying—
(1) the market share of the manufacturer or importer, as calculated with respect to that payment period, of the class of tobacco product; by
(g) Determination of volume of domestic sales
(1) In general
The calculation of the volume of domestic sales of a class of tobacco product by a manufacturer or importer, and by all manufacturers and importers as a group, shall be made by the Secretary based on information provided by the manufacturers and importers pursuant to subsection (h), as well as any other relevant information provided to or obtained by the Secretary.

(h) Measurement of volume of domestic sales
(1) Submission of information
Each manufacturer and importer of tobacco products shall submit to the Secretary a certified copy of each of the returns or forms described by paragraph (2) that are required to be filed with a Federal agency on the same date that those returns or forms are filed, or required to be filed, with the agency.
(2) Returns and forms
The returns and forms described by this paragraph are those returns and forms that relate to—
(A) the removal of tobacco products into domestic commerce (as defined by section 5702 of title 26); and
(3) Effect of failure to provide required information
Any person that knowingly fails to provide information required under this subsection or that provides false information under this subsection shall be subject to the penalties described in section 1003 of title 18. The Secretary may also assess against the person a civil penalty in an amount not to exceed two percent of the value of the kind of tobacco products manufactured or imported by the person during the fiscal year in which the violation occurred, as determined by the Secretary.
(i) Challenge to assessment
(1) Appeal to Secretary
A manufacturer or importer subject to this section may contest an assessment imposed on the manufacturer or importer under this section by notifying the Secretary, not later than 30 business days after receiving the assessment notification required by subsection (d), that the manufacturer or importer intends to contest the assessment.
(2) Information
Not later than 180 days after October 22, 2004, the Secretary shall establish by regulation a procedure under which a manufacturer or importer contesting an assessment under this subsection may present information to the Secretary to demonstrate that the assessment applicable to the manufacturer or importer is incorrect. In challenging the assessment, the manufacturer or importer may use any information that is available, including third party data on industry or individual company sales volumes.
(3) Revision
If a manufacturer or importer establishes that the initial determination of the amount of an assessment is incorrect, the Secretary shall revise the amount of the assessment so that the manufacturer or importer is required to pay only the amount correctly determined.
(4) Time for review
Not later than 30 days after receiving notice from a manufacturer or importer under paragraph (1), the Secretary shall—
(A) decide whether the information provided to the Secretary under paragraph (2), and any other information that the Secretary determines is appropriate, is sufficient to establish that the original assessment was incorrect; and
(5) Immediate payment of undisputed amounts
The regulations promulgated by the Secretary under paragraph (2) shall provide for the immediate payment by a manufacturer or importer challenging an assessment of that portion of the assessment that is not in dispute. The manufacturer and importer may place into escrow, in accordance with such regulations, only the portion of the assessment being challenged in good faith pending final determination of the claim.
(j) Judicial review
(1) In general
Any manufacturer or importer aggrieved by a determination of the Secretary with respect to the amount of any assessment may seek review of the determination in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia or for the district in which the manufacturer or importer resides or has its principal place of business at any time following exhaustion of the administrative remedies available under subsection (i).
(2) Time limits
Administrative remedies shall be deemed exhausted if no decision by the Secretary is made within the time limits established under subsection (i)(4).
(3) Excessive assessments
The court shall restrain collection of the excessive portion of any assessment or order a refund of excessive assessments already paid, along with interest calculated at the rate prescribed in section 3717 of title 31, if it finds that the Secretary's determination is not supported by a preponderance of the information available to the Secretary.
(k) Termination date
The authority provided by this section to impose assessments terminates on September 30, 2014.
