ATLANTA (AP) - Derek Jeter turned the All-Star game into another night of "New York, New York."
In the long, proud history of the Yankees, an All-Star most valuable player award had never been brought back to the Bronx to sit alongside those 25 World Series trophies.
He changed that, and he doesn't even realize what he accomplished.
"You have to play for a lot of years before you can be considered a Yankee great," he said Tuesday night after going 3-for-3 with a tiebreaking, two-run single in the American League's 6-3 win. "I've only played four years. This is my fifth. Hopefully, I can play for a few more years, then start that debate."
After he doubled against Randy Johnson in the first inning for the AL's first extra-base hit in two years, he singled against Kevin Brown in the third and scored the game's first run. Then he hit a two-run single against the Mets' Al Leiter in the fourth for a 3-1 lead.
And he wasn't even supposed to start!
Still, he's not ready to be ranked alongside Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Mantle and Berra - even after his bat was sent straight to the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y.
"When you mention his name, you got to think of the Yankees," said AL manager Joe Torre, also Jeter's manager in New York. "If there ever was a young kid that even the veteran players looked to, it's Derek Jeter.
"So I think it's a very, very proud time for the New York Yankees, because their future did a great thing tonight."
Just 26, he already has three World Series rings in four seasons, three All-Star appearances and the 1996 AL Rookie of the Year Award. And now this.
"I think if he played here, he'd be the first player to hit .500," said Atlanta's Chipper Jones, who also went 3-for-3.
Just last Friday, Jeter got a two-strike, first-inning single against Leiter, scoring the first run in the Yankees' 2-0 win against their crosstown foe.
Jeter hit .407 against the Mets this year, going 11-for-27 with six runs scored and is a .327 hitter (25-for-77) against them in his career. The single against Leiter came on a first-pitch cut fastball.
"He does it every time I face him. I try to lay off it," Jeter said. "I didn't hit it well, I just hit it in the right place."
Jeter wasn't thinking about the Yankees-Mets rivalry.
"It really had nothing to do with Al Leiter. Nothing special with that," Jeter said. "You don't say, `Here's a Met. I want to get a hit off him.' "
In his previous two All-Star at-bats, he struck out both times. Getting the start because Seattle's Alex Rodriguez suffered a concussion last weekend, Jeter wanted to swing at first pitches and not fall behind.
Like everything else in his charmed life, he came through.
"His priorities are in order," Torre said. "I know he's very proud of it, even though a lot of times he doesn't show much. His head's screwed on right. That's not easy for a youngster who seemingly has this thing going for him"

Standard and inexpensive accommodations close to the beach in Santa Monica.
Inexpensive places to stay the night are a rarity in Santa Monica, and this pink stucco member of the budget category can be counted on for the basics, as well as cable TV, free high-speed Internet, complimentary breakfast and private balconies. Its best asset by far is its location, about two miles from the beach, the Santa Monica Pier and the shopping and restaurants at the Third Street Promenade. Guest rooms are somewhat outdated but provide moderate comfort and uninspiring city views. The few facilities include a beauty shop and fitness center; nonetheless, if you're value-minded and don't plan on spending a lot of time at your hotel, this is a safe bet.

With Colts-Jaguars, NFL sends more bad football to London
If the NFL wants to get more popular in England, perhaps it should stop scheduling such bad games there.
With the 1-2 Colts facing the 0-3 Jaguars on Sunday, the NFL will be fielding its 15th regular season game in London. And not a single one of them has matched up two teams with winning records. Six of them have matched up two teams with losing records.
Here's the full list of regular season games in London, with the teams' records heading into the game:
2007: Giants (5-2) vs. Dolphins (0-7)
2008: Chargers (3-4) vs. Saints (3-4)
2009: Patriots (4-2) vs. Buccaneers (0-6)
2010: Broncos (2-5) vs. 49ers (1-6)
2011: Bears (3-3) vs. Buccaneers (4-2)
2012: Patriots (4-3) vs. Rams (3-4)
2013: Steelers (0-3) vs. Vikings (0-3)
2013: 49ers (5-2) vs. Jaguars (0-7)
2014: Dolphins (1-2) vs. Raiders (0-3)
2014: Lions (5-2) vs. Falcons (2-5)
2014: Cowboys (6-3) vs. Jaguars (1-8)
2015: Jets (2-1) vs. Dolphins (1-2)
2015: Bills (3-3) vs. Jaguars (1-5)
2015: Lions (1-6) vs. Chiefs (2-5)
2016: Colts (1-2) vs. Jaguars (0-3)
No undefeated team has ever played in London, but on Sunday the Jaguars will become the sixth winless team to play in London.
A big problem facing the NFL is that good teams don't want to give up home games to play in London. In fact, last year the Chiefs became the first team to give up a home game to London and still finish the season with a winning record. As long as second-tier teams are going to London, the NFL is going to have a hard time getting London fans excited.
With the 2-1 Giants playing the 2-1 Rams in London later this month, it's possible that London fans will finally see something they haven't seen yet: A game featuring two winning teams.
Marvin Jones added to Lions injury report
Wide receiver Marvin Jones signed with the Lions as a free agent this offseason and he's fit right in with his new team in the first three games of the season.
Jones leads the league in receiving yards with 408 and is coming off a six-catch/205-yard/two-touchdown performance in Week Three's loss to the Packers. Jones' chances of building on those numbers could be impacted by a hamstring injury, however.
Jones is on Thursday's injury report as a limited participant in practice after not being on the report at all after Wednesday's practice. That suggests that Jones may have come down with the injury during practice and will make Friday's practice one to watch for a better idea about how much the hamstring might affect him against the Bears on Sunday.
Defensive end Ziggy Ansah (ankle) and linebacker DeAndre Levy (quad) remained out of practice for the Lions while tight end Eric Ebron (ankle) got in a limited practice after missing Wednesday's session.
Josh Gordon entering rehab, NFL return on hold
Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon announced Thursday that he'll enter an in-patient treatment facility and that his NFL return is on hold.
Gordon was conditionally reinstated by the NFL in July and would have been eligible to fully return to the Browns on Monday, Oct. 3 and play in the team's Oct. 9 game. He was suspended for the first four games of 2016 as part of the terms of reinstatement from his previous suspension.
"After careful thought and deep consideration I've decided that I need to step away from pursuing my return to the Browns and my football career to enter an in-patient rehabilitation facility," Gordon said in a statement. "This is the right decision for me and one that I hope will enable me to gain full control of my life and continue on a path to reach my full potential as a person. I appreciate the support of the NFL, NFLPA, the Browns, my teammates, my agent and the community through this extremely challenging process."
Gordon led the NFL in receiving with 1,646 yards in 2013. He's played in just five games since due to two different NFL suspensions and a one-game team suspension at the end of 2014. Gordon participated in training camp when healthy in August and played in two preseason games.
"We support Josh in taking this step to seek additional help and treatment," Browns executive vice president of football operations Sashi Brown said. "His singular focus must be on his own health. We want nothing more than for Josh to be successful personally and professionally and will not comment on his status with the organization at this time."
Three Chargers offensive linemen battling injury issues
Chargers left tackle King Dunlap missed practice again Thursday due to migraine headaches, and right tackle Joe Barksdale was again limited due to a foot injury.
The Chargers had a new addition to Thursday's injury and participation report. Starting left guard Orlando Franklin did not practice Thursday due to a back issue.
With three starters in question three days from Sunday's game vs. the Saints, the Chargers have some worries but the team has experienced backup offensive linemen in Kenny Wiggins and Chris Hairston.
Defensive end Joey Bosa, who's still trying to get healthy enough to make his NFL debut, was again listed as limited with a hamstring injury. Cornerback Brandon Flowers missed a second straight day of practice due to a concussion.
Dez Bryant gets good news from Dr. Andrews
Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant ducked an MRI in part because he didn't want bad news. On Thursday, he apparently has gotten good news.
On Twitter, Bryant tweeted that he received "great feedback" from Dr. James Andrews. Bryant also described himself as "day to day."
That's great news, given that Bryant reportedly will miss up to three weeks with a hairline fracture in his knee. Of course, this doesn't mean Bryant will be ready to go when the Cowboys play at San Francisco on Sunday.
Earlier on Thursday, coach Jason Garrett explained that Bryant feared that he had a serious knee injury, which caused him to avoid the diagnostic procedure that would have confirmed its existence.
No MRI yet for Eric Decker
Maybe the Jets don't have an MRI machine at their facility, either.
In the same week that an MRI on the knee of Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant was delayed in part by the fact that the swanky new digs in Frisco, Texas lack the fairly significant bones-and-ligament-and-cartilage diagnostic machinery, Jets receiver Eric Decker still hasn't had an MRI on his injured shoulder.
On Wednesday, coach Todd Bowles said Decker "probably" will get an MRI. On Thursday, Bowles said that an MRI hasn't happened, yet.
"He could be [getting an MRI]," Bowles said. "They're still discussing it."
Asked if there's a reason for the delay in the administration of the MRI, Bowles said, "Not to my knowledge, no. . . . I'm not going in and demanding that he have an MRI. I'm sure they have their reasons and that isn't my call."
Asked if there's a concern that Decker's injury could last more than a week, Bowles said, "It's a concern. Hopefully it's not, but if it is, we're getting other guys ready to play. I'll see where he is [Friday] before I can make a decision on how serious or not serious it is."
Decker injured the shoulder in Week Two against the Bills. He aggravated it on Sunday, in a loss to the Chiefs.
NFL makes Randy Gregory's 10-game suspension official
We've known for more than a week that Cowboys defensive end Randy Gregory dropped his appeal of a 10-game suspension, but there was never a formal announcement from the league that the suspension has been put in place.
That announcement came on Thursday. The league confirmed that Gregory will be suspended through the team's December 18 game against the Buccaneers as the suspension does not go into effect until after this weekend's game against the 49ers because Gregory is still serving a four-game ban.
Gregory played 12 games as a rookie before his substance-abuse violations led to the two suspensions and owner Jerry Jones was asked if he feels the second-round pick they used to select Gregory was a wasted one.
"I really don't want to hindsight those," Jones said on 105.3 The Fan, via the Dallas Morning News. "If you look at the amount of play time we got out of a second-round pick, then I would say that it's not been good. Ultimately, if we can have him on the field, which is rightfully the question … then it would be an outstanding pick."
Gregory's unlikely to change any minds on that front in two weeks at the end of this year after missing training camp and the preseason while at a treatment facility, which means that discussion can move into 2017 if the Cowboys decide to keep Gregory on hand.
Steelers activate Le'Veon Bell
The Steelers officially activated running back Le'Veon Bell Thursday, releasing running back Daryl Richardson to create a roster spot.
Bell was suspended for the first three games and was allowed to return to the team earlier this week. Richardson had played in all three games this season.
Bell scored three rushing touchdowns in six games last year. He was first-team All-Pro in 2014, when he ran for 1,361 yards and eight touchdowns and also had 854 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
The Steelers host the Chiefs Sunday night.
Dolphins promote Jamil Douglas from practice squad
The Dolphins head into Thursday night's game with several injuries on their offensive line so they've called up a healthy lineman from their practice squad.
The team announced that they have promoted guard Jamil Douglas to the active roster in time for their matchup with the Bengals. Douglas was a fourth-round pick last year and made six starts while appearing in all 16 games.
Miami ruled out center Mike Pouncey for the fourth straight game with a hip injury and his replacement Anthony Steen is unlikely to play on Thursday night after being listed as doubtful with an ankle injury. Left tackle Branden Albert is questionable with an ankle injury and right guard Jermon Bushrod drew the same designation due to a wrist injury.
The Dolphins have 12 other players on their injury report as they try to even their record at 2-2 on Thursday night.
Technically, Anthony Davis didn't "retire"
49ers offensive lineman Anthony Davis has become the NFL's most recent Brett Favre, with two annual retirements, and counting. But there won't be a second unretirement in 2016.
Officially, the 49ers didn't place Davis on the reserve/retired list. He's on the exempt/left squad list.
This implies: (1) that Davis left the team; (2) that he received the so-called "five-day" letter explaining that, if he doesn't return, he'll be placed on the "left squad" list; and (3) that he didn't return.
The difference is significant. If Davis were on the reserve/retired list, he could unretire at any time. Placement on the "left squad" list could me that he can't play for the 49ers or anyone else in 2016.
Meanwhile, Davis will be required to return another chunk of bonus money to the 49ers. He previously paid back the 2015 allocation following his first retirement. He'll now have to surrender the corresponding portion of his 2016 allocation for the games that he missed.
It still remains unclear why Davis is not longer with the team.
"I did not talk to Anthony," 49ers coach Chip Kelly told reporters on Thursday. "He came in and talked to [49ers General Manager] Trent [Baalke]. I did not see him. Trent came down and told me what transpired and then Anthony was gone, but I did not talk to him."
So what did Davis tell Baalke?
"Trent said that it was because of injuries," Kelly said. "That's all I know. But it's probably a good question for Trent. For me to talk specifically about a conversation someone had with someone else, that's not, I don't know exactly what transpired. I was just told that's what was going on and then really the next step for us was what are we doing with the roster spot and all those other things. I've reached out to Anthony and gave him a call just to talk to him, but I didn't connect with him yet."
Davis had tried to agitate for his release in April, possibly because the 49ers weren't willing to reimburse the bonus money that he'd refunded in 2015. Eventually, Davis decided to return without being cut and without getting his bonus allocation back. Now that he's gone again, he'll lose even more money.
The question now becomes whether Davis will return again in 2017, and whether the 49ers will continue to squat on his rights.
UPDATE 4;11 p.m. ET: The 49ers inform PFT that they placed Davis on the exempt/left squad list in order to clear a roster spot, that he's in the five-day window, and that if he doesn't return he'll go on the reserve/left squad list. At that point, he won't be eligible to play for the 49ers or anyone else this year.
Nevin Lawson: NFL told Lions 66-yard pass interference was incorrect call
According to ESPN, Lions cornerback Nevin Lawson picked up the longest penalty in at least 15 years last Sunday when he was flagged for a pass interference penalty that gave the Packers a 66-yard gain on the first play of the second quarter.
The Packers scored a touchdown on the next play to take a 21-3 lead on their way to a 34-27 victory. Lions coach Jim Caldwell said after the game that he didn't think Lawson interfered with Packers wideout Trevor Davis on the play and Lawson said Thursday that the NFL told the Lions that it was an incorrect call. Lawson said one of the team's coaches told him about the league's response.
"It's definitely frustrating because you get that call wrong," Lawson said, via ESPN.com. "The worst part about it is that it affected that drive, and we gave up a touchdown, you know what I'm saying? So we can't get that back. So the only thing we get is an apology, so it's frustrating. But like I said, we got to continue to play and move on."
It's the second year in a row that has seen the Lions take issue with a call in a game against the Packers. They were upset by a facemask penalty on defensive lineman Devin Taylor last year that allowed the Packers an untimed down that ended with Aaron Rodgers completing a Hail Mary to win the game. That game was officiated by a crew headed by referee Carl Cheffers, as was last Sunday's game.
Lawson said that he'd like to see pass interference calls be subject to replay review, something that others have brought up over the years but has gotten little traction with the competition committee.
DeAndre Hopkins not frustrated by Texans offense
Texans quarterback Brock Osweiler said Wednesday that nothing has changed for the team's offense because of the loss of defensive end J.J. Watt to another back injury and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins agrees with that assessment.
Hopkins said that the offense is "going to go out there and do what we do" regardless of the situation on the other side of the ball. That hasn't always been a good thing this season, however.
The Texans were shutout their last time out of the gate and they're scoring 14 points a game overall while the passing game ranks 27th with 214.7 yards per game. That's down from last season as are Hopkins' individual numbers, but the wideout says that's not a cause for frustration.
"No, it's not frustrating at all," Hopkins said, via the Houston Chronicle. "The team's success, for me, comes first and all the accolades come after that. So, whatever I have to do, if it's me drawing a double team, that means one of my other teammates are open. That's not on the stat book, drawing a double team — people just see touchdowns — but, to me, my team's success comes first."
The Texans came into this season with hopes that their offense would carry more weight than it did last season. Whether it is going through Hopkins or someone else, there's still work to do to realize that hope.
Colts distinctly remember the last time they played the Jaguars
The good news for the Colts may be that they're playing the Jaguars in London this weekend.
Because the last time they saw them in Florida, the Jaguars gave them an embarrassing 51-16 beating.
The Jaguars poured it on that day, converting a fourth-and-goal from the 1 inside the two-minute warning as their fans chanted "We want 50!"
"Think I forgot?" Colts safety Mike Adams said, via Mike Wells of ESPN.com. "I'm not sugar coating anything. Fifty! Fifty! We talked about that. It is what it is. It's the NFL. . . .
"We were in the position to set ourselves up in the division. That's what makes it hard. Obviously that game, I didn't even watch all of it. Just a little bit to recap."
That was the game that ended a 16-game AFC South winning streak for the Colts, and part of a two-game stretch in which they lost by 35 points.
Of course, there are plenty of differences since then, specifically the return of quarterback Andrew Luck, who has five straight wins over the Jaguars.
Terrelle Pryor thinks the Browns can go 13-3
Terrelle Pryor has emerged as one of the few bright spots on the Browns this season, becoming their No. 1 receiver while also taking some snaps at quarterback. And now we know something else about Pryor: His optimism is boundless.
Pryor said this week that despite the Browns' 0-3 start, he thinks they're a good enough team to win every remaining game and finish 13-3.
"We're so close to getting over that hump," Pryor said. "Once we get over that hump, I think we're going to have a lot of success, even this year. . . . I think we can win all the rest of the games. It depends on our mindset. It depends on how we look at it. It's just one week at a time."
Is that realistic? No. Is it understandable that Pryor has that mindset? Yes. His confidence in himself has paid off, even if his confidence in his team may be just a bit too high.
Elvis Dumervil says he's playing Sunday
Ravens linebacker Elvis Dumervil returned to practice last week, but sat out Friday's session and remained inactive for Baltimore's 19-17 victory over the Jaguars.
It looks like his surgically-repaired foot is ready to take the final step, however. Teammate Terrell Suggs said Wednesday that he expects to have Dumervil in the lineup against the Raiders this Sunday and Thursday brought the word straight from Dumervil's mouth.
Dumervil told reporters that he'll make his 2016 debut this weekend.
"I'm excited to get in front of our fans," Dumervil said, via Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com.
Albert McClellan has been starting in place of Dumervil over the first three weeks and Za'Darius Smith has also played a significant number of snaps. Dumervil should be back in his usual spot with the first team, but working him back in will likely leave time for the others to continue seeing the field.

Lamont Lewis said he didn't see toys on the rowhome porch, not that he looked for any. He thought he was there, he told jurors on Monday, just to kill two adults - the mother and brother of a snitch.
He kicked in the door and fired two shots up the staircase. His cousin followed, he said, tossing in two gas cans, one stuffed with a shirt lit like a wick.
A woman screamed out an upstairs window as flames engulfed the North Sixth Street home that October 2004 morning, Lewis said. He ended up on on a porch blocks away, smoking pot and listening to the sirens wail.

In my recent article for Mashable, I interviewed Kevin Kearney and Phil Leif, the founders of New York City creative firm ALLDAYEVERYDAY and the creative geniuses behind many big brand Tumblr blogs. While Leif and Kearney are becoming known for their use of Tumblr as a micro community/blogging platform for fashion brands, they are also what I'd call digital marketing savants that have five insights for brands and designers to consider when marketing their brands in 2011.
1. Video: Think of creating intelligent news, not branded content. Create something with SUBSTANCE. Ask yourself why you are making videos.
"A lot of times, we feel that creating video content for its own sake is a waste. If the budget, talent, and creative are not there, the video is a waste of money. It is generally better to focus on programming centered around photography and effective copy to ensure a higher caliber of output," says Kearney.
"We have noticed that blog distribution of videos doesn't always result in video plays. Another good point this brings up is that if you want to drive video plays, you can't rely on press placement alone unless the content quality is extremely unique, the director name is substantial , and your model / actor / talent is a big name. Otherwise it is better to focus your effort and media spending on video platforms like YouTube where users are there to watch videos. More often than not, blog traffic are users browsing and skimming through photo content." says Leif.
This year for MilkMade, ALLDAYEVERDAY is adding live streaming video and video clip submission from POV devices like cell phones and digital cameras. This will allow them to document fashion week via motion through the eyes of 40 different influential contributors. The public will be able to take part and upload their own video content as well. This will result in crowd sourced footage and a multifaceted portrayal of fashion week from the eyes of those on the ground and part of the Milk world of fashion.
2. Only invest in creative film if you have the budget. Otherwise you're better off focusing on photography and copyrighting.
It is a waste to try and deliver something that doesn't hit the mark creatively. Not only is it a waste of money, but is a bad brand representation. Additionally, we advise reserving money to buy media for the film and not just relying on content to go viral. The internet is extremely saturated with content these days and you have to spend money to get guaranteed results.
3. The video market is over saturated.
Fashion bloggers don't watch videos. While impressions are up, there are not a lot of plays coming from the video platform. How many times can you watch a runway show or behind the scenes footage from a photo shoot?
Ask yourself:
- What am I communicating? What story am I trying to tell?
- How does this reflect upon my brand? Who am I trying to reach with this video?
- Do I have the budget to execute and distribute the film? Is this a content series or one off video?
Leif and Kearney recommend looking into using budgets for ongoing programming, not just big one off film hits. You still need these bigger films to get the wider attention, but what happens after a week once the film has run its course? ALL DAY EVERY DAY has been creating editorial platforms for brands to release their own daily, weekly, monthly programming. This guarantees a residual, builds a community and drives further engagement.
4. Brands need to view video as a component of the community. Find the community surrounding the brand and create content that suites it.
Aim to be a creative mosaic — small groups, intimate portraits. This is what Live.MilkMade.com did when it was launched during August's New York Fashion Week. It created an intimate yet comprehensive view of New York Fashion Week. The viewer had content from parties, designer and bloggers. It showed that no matter what was written, the fashion bloggers attending NYFW still had an outsiders perspective. That perspective, juxtaposed against the perspective of a model that came home at 2AM and uploaded a photo — that was a story that could never be told from an agency's point of view. In essence, this the definition of co-creation in 2011.
As a brand, how are you going to activate your communities?

MSO closes season with crowd-pleaser 'Bolero,' more
The Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra is closing its classical season this weekend with a performance of Ravel's "Bolero" that won a standing, cheering ovation Friday evening.

Soulstice cast hits the right notes with Sondheim's 'Follies'
Just after intermission in the production of Stephen Sondheim's "Follies" now being staged by Soulstice Theatre, Heidi Schiller — oldest among the pre-World War II showgirls attending a one-time reunion — begins to warble an operetta-like tune from her heyday.
Playing the older Heidi, Amanda Hull sings that we must never look back. But of course Heidi looks, remembering the ravishing young performer she'd once been, when she could hit every note in songs like this one. Which the suddenly materialized younger Heidi (a lovely Julianne Frey) then easily does, singing of the bittersweet passage of time — something a young Heidi can't possibly feel as acutely as her older self does. »Read Full Article

OSHA News Release - (Archived) Table of Contents
OSHA News Release – Region 1
U.S. Department of Labor
Region 1 USDL 04-1021-BOS / BOS 2004-134
Tuesday, June 22, 2004
Contact: John M. Chavez
Phone: (617) 565-2075
AUGUSTA, Maine -- The U.S. Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited two employers involved in the construction of offshore oil rigs in Portland Harbor for alleged violations of the Occupational Safety and Health Act in connection with a Jan. 13 accident that killed one worker and seriously injured two others.
A lifeboat containing three workers was being lifted back to its stowed position aboard the oil rig, the Pride Rio de Janeiro, following a lifeboat drill when the boat's sternhook failed, dropping the lifeboat and the workers approximately 60 feet into the harbor.
"The workers should not have been in the lifeboat when it was being raised back to its stowed position," said C. William Freeman III, OSHA's area director for Maine. "OSHA standards prohibit it. Had proper safeguards been followed, they would not have been in the lifeboat after the drill and therefore not exposed to serious injury and death."
Two other hazards, not directly related to the accident, were also cited. They involved a Billy Pugh personnel carrier used to raise and lower employees to different levels of the rig. Specifically, no personal fall arrest systems were provided for workers riding in the personnel carrier and no one was operating a tag line on the rig's lower level to prevent the personnel carrier from swinging or swaying when being used in windy conditions.
Cited for these hazards were Pride International, Inc., which employed the three workers, and Petrodrill Engineering, NV, the project's construction manager. Each was fined $13,950 for three alleged serious violations of the Occupational Safety and Health Act. Pride International, Inc. faces an additional fine of $100 for an alleged other than serious violation for not maintaining an illness and injury log.
