US 5232825 AAbstract
Disclosed is a subbing composition for polyesters, comprising a dye, a hydrophilic colloid, and a latex, wherein said dye is dispersed in the form of fine solid grains which are substantially insoluble in water at a pH of 6 or less, and are substantially soluble in water at a pH of 8 or more, and said latex has a glass transition temperature of 35� C. or lower, and a method for coating thereof. In addition, a subbing layer-coated article is disclosed wherein said subbing composition is coated on a polyester base. Finally, a silver halide photographic material is disclosed wherein a photographic emulsion layer is coated on said subbing layer-coated article.
1. A silver halide photographic material, wherein a photographic emulsion layer is coated on a subbing layer-coated article in which said subbing layer-coated article has a subbing composition for polyesters coated on a polyester base, wherein said subbing composition for polyesters comprises a dye, a hydrophilic colloid, and a latex, wherein said dye is dispersed in the form of fine solid grains which are substantially insoluble in water at a pH of 6 or less, and are substantially soluble in water at a pH of 8 or more, and said latex has a glass transition temperature of 35� C. or lower.

The present invention relates to a subbing composition for polyesters. In particular, the present invention relates to a subbing composition for polyesters which contains a dye dispersed therein in the form of fine solid grains along with a latex, and which may form a subbing coat with improved scratch-resistance on polyester articles; a polyester article coated with the subbing coat; and, additionally, the present invention relates to a silver halide photographic material made cf the coated polyester support.
In preparing silver halide photographic materials, coloration of photographic emulsion layers and other layers is often affected for the purpose of absorbing light within a particular wavelength range.
For the purpose of preventing the halation or blurring of a photographic image to be formed in a photographic material (which is caused by re-introduction of light passing through the photographic emulsion layer or scattering after passing through said photographic emulsion layer into the photographic emulsion layer after reflection by the interface between the emulsion layer and the support or by the surface of the material which is opposite to the emulsion layer), a colored layer is often provided between the photographic emulsion layer and the support or on the surface of the support which is opposite to the photographic emulsion layer. Such a colored layer is called an anti-halation layer.
In X-ray photographic materials, a colored layer is often provided for the purpose of improving the sharpness as a crossover-cutting filter capable of reducing the crossover light to be introduced into the material.
Such a colored layer is mostly made of a hydrophilic colloid. For coloration of the layer, a dye(s) is/are incorporated into the layer. Potential dyes to be used for this purpose must satisfy the following conditions:
(1) The dyes must have a suitable spectral absorbability in accordance with the use and object.
(2) The dyes must be photo-chemically inactive. That is, they do not have any bad chemical influences on the photographic property of silver halide photographic emulsion layers constituting the photographic material; for instance, they do not lower the sensitivity and do not cause latent image fading and fogging.
(3) The dyes are decolored or dissolved and then removed in the step of photographic processing the photographic materials containing them so that they do not leave any harmful coloration in the processed photographic materials.
Where a colored layer such as an anti-halation layer or a crossover-cutting layer is made of a hydrophilic colloid, it results in an increase of the bulk of the water-permeable layer such that the drying property of the photographic material during development is disadvantageously worsened.
In order to overcome this drawback, fixation of dye(s) in a layer to be provided between a hydrophilic colloid layer and a support so as to elevate the adhesiveness between them is accomplished.
The layer having a function of sticking a support and a hydrophilic colloid layer to each other is herein called a subbing layer. There are many methods for fixing dye(s) in such a subbing layer; for example, there is: a method of adsorbing dye(s) to a mordant agent in the subbing layer (JP-A-1-126645) (the term "JP-A" as used herein means an "unexamined published Japanese patent application"); a method of emulsifying and dispersing an oily solution of dye(s) in the subbing layer in the form of oily drops (JP-A-1-142688); a method of adsorbing dye(s) on surfaces of inorganic substances in the subbing layer (Japanese Patent Application No. 1-139691 corresponding to JP-A-3-5748); a method of adsorbing dye(s) to a polymer in the subbing layer (JP-A-2-298939); and, a method of directly dispersing solid dye(s) as they are in the subbing layer (Japanese Patent Application No. 1-87367 corresponding to JP-A-2-264936).
Of these methods, preferred is the method of directly dispersing solid dye(s) as they are in a subbing layer since the dye(s) may be fixed in a determined layer, and the processed photographic material has little residual color caused by the incorporated dye(s).
The amount of hydrophilic colloid to be used in a subbing layer is generally small; for example, 0.5 g/m2 or less.
Where a dye dispersed in the form of fine solids grains is introduced into such a hydrophilic colloid layer, the film itself, as coated with the layer, would thereby be more brittle so that the surface of the coated layer could easily be scratched. The optical density of the dye in the scratched area is to be lower than that in the normal area.
The scratched area having such a lowered optical density is to have an increased crossover light, which would therefore have harmful influences on the photographic properties of the photographic material. In addition, if the scratched dust adheres to the base of the material, the dust-adhered area is to have a decreased crossover light and would also have harmful influences on the photographic properties of the same.
As mentioned above, decreasing the scratch-resistance of the surface of the coated subbing layer is a serious problem.
The object of the present invention is to provide a subbing layer-coated polyester article having an improved scratch-resistance and to provide a silver halide photographic material having a substantially residual color-free anti-halation layer or crossover-cutting layer and, therefore, capable of being processed by rapid processing to give a photographic image with an improved quality.
In order to attain the above-mentioned objects, there is provided in accordance with the present invention, a subbing composition for polyesters, comprising a dye, a hydrophilic colloid and a latex; wherein said dye is dispersed in the form of fine solid grains which are substantially insoluble in water at pH of 6 or less, and which are substantially soluble in water at pH of 8 or more, and said latex has a glass transition temperature of 35� C. or lower. Using this composition, the coated subbing layer is to have an improved scratch-resistance. There is also provided in accordance with the present invention a silver halide photographic material having a substantially residual color-free anti-halation layer or crossover-cutting layer, which is prepared by coating a photographic emulsion layer on the subbing layer-coated article.
As polyesters for use in the present invention, polyethylene terephthalate is desired. Where they are used for preparing photographic materials, a filmy polyethylene terephthalate (hereinafter referred to as "PET") is desired.
It is preferred that the surface of PET is pretreated by corona-discharging treatment, glow-discharging treatment or ultraviolet-irradiating treatment so as to improve the adhesiveness between the surface and hydrophilic colloid. As the case may be, a pre-subbing layer (first subbing layer) composed of a styrene-butadiene latex or vinylidene chloride latex may optionally be provided on PET for the same purpose.
As hydrophobic polymers to be used for forming a first subbing layer, there are mentioned styrene-butadiene copolymers, vinylidene chloride copolymers, water-soluble polyesters and polyacrylates. Preferred are styrene-butadiene copolymers and vinylidene chloride copolymers; and more preferred are styrene-butadiene copolymers.
Styrene-butadiene copolymers to be used for this purpose may be those composed of styrene and butadiene being from 9/1 to 1/9, or they may additionally contain a third comonomer component of acrylic acid or the like.
The amount of the hydrophobic polymer to be in the first subbing layer is desirably from 100 to 500 mg/m2.
As coating devices, there is known an extrusion slide hopper coating device (U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,761,417, 2,761,418, 2,761,791), and a curtain coating device (U.S. Pat. No. 3,206,323). In the present invention, where the amount of the coating composition for forming the first subbing layer is small, the composition is desired to be coated with a bar coater.
If the drying temperature for the coated first subbing layer is too low, firm adhesion between PET and the first subbing layer formed thereon can not be attained. Therefore, the drying temperature of the first subbing layer is desired to fall within the range of 80� to 200� C.
The hydrophobic polymer to be in the coating composition of forming the subbing layer is in the form of an aqueous latex, which may further contain, if desired, other additives such as a crosslinking agent, a surfactant, a swelling agent, a matting agent and an antistatic agent.
As usable crosslinking agents, there is mentioned, for example, triazine compounds described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,325,287, 3,288,775 and 3,549,377, and Belgian Patent 6,602,226; dialdehyde compounds described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,291,624 and 3,232,764, French Patent 1,543,694 and British Patent 1,270,578; epoxy compounds described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,091,537, and JP-B-49-26580 (the term "JP-B" as used herein means an "examined Japanese patent publication"); vinyl compounds described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,642,486; aziridine compounds described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,392,024; ethyleneimine compounds described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,549,378; and methylol compounds.
Of these compounds, preferred are dichlorotriazine derivatives.
It is desired that the subbing composition of the present invention is coated on the above-mentioned first subbing layer as a second subbing layer. For the purpose of intensifying the adhesiveness between the first subbing layer and the second subbing layer, the drying temperature of the coated second subbing layer is desired to fall within the range of 80� to 200� C. If the drying temperature is too high, the dye(s) to be in the second subbing layer would migrate into the polymer layer of the first subbing layer. Therefore, the drying temperature is especially preferable from 80� to 155� C.
For the purpose of intensifying the adhesiveness between the first subbing layer and the second subbing layer, the surface of the first subbing layer may be treated by corona-discharging treatment, glow-discharging treatment or ultraviolet-irradiating treatment.
It is necessary that the subbing composition of the present invention contains: a dye dispersed therein in the form of fine solid grains which are substantially insoluble in water at pH of 6 or less, and which are substantially soluble in water at pH of 8 or more; a hydrophilic colloid; and, a latex.

Dyes to be used in the present invention are produced easily by or in accordance with any one of the methods described in W088/04794, EP-A-274723, EP-A-276566 and EP-A-299435, JP-A-52-92716, JP-A-55-155350, JP-A-55-155351, JP-A-61-205934, JP-A-48-68623, U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,527,583, 3,486,897, 3,746,539, 3,933,798, 4,130,429, 4,040,841, Japanese Patent Application No. 1-50874 (corresponding to JP-A-3-7931), JP-A-2-282244, and Japanese Patent Application No. 1-307363 (corresponding to JP-A-3-7546).
A dye dispersion in the form of fine crystals, as referred to herein, means that the dye could not be in the form of molecules (i.e., in a dissolved state) in the intended color layer since the solubility of the dye itself is insufficient. Consequently, it is contained therein in the form of a solid, wherein the size of the solid is not substantially diffusible in the layer.
For preparing such a dye dispersion, the methods described in W088/04794, EP-A-276566, and JP-A-63-197943 are referred to. Generally, a dye is powdered with a ball mill and stabilized with a surfactant and a gelatin.
The dye dispersion, as used in the present invention, was prepared in accordance with the method described in JP-A-63-197943.
Precisely, 434 ml of water and 791 ml of a 6.7% aqueous solution of a surfactant, Triton X-200R (TX-200R, product sold from Rohm and Haas), were put in a 2 liter-ball mill. To this solution was added 20 g of a dye. 400 ml of zirconium oxide (ZrO2) beads (2 mm diameter) was added thereto. The content was milled for 4 days.
To the milled content was added 160 g of a 12.5% aqueous gelatin solution. After defoaming, the mixture thus obtained was filtered to remove ZrO2 beads therefrom. Since the product obtained comprised fine grains having a mean grain size of about 0.3 μm, it was then classified by centrifugation to select fine grains having a grain size of 1 μm or less.
The fine solid grains of dye to be used in the present invention are desired to have an average grain size (diameter) of 1.0 μm or less, more preferably 0.5 μm or less.
The amount of dye(s) to be used in the coated subbing layer of the presently claimed invention is preferably from 5 to 300 mg/m2, more preferably from 10 to 150 mg/m2.
The amount of the hydrophilic colloid or gelatin to be used in preparing the subbing composition of the present invention may be such that the coated gelatin amount in the subbing layer is 0.5 g/m2 or less.
The coated gelatin amount in the colored layer to be prepared as above is generally 0.5 g/m2 or less, preferably from 0.05 to 0.3 g/m2.
It is indispensable that the subbing composition of the present invention contains a latex (polymer latex). The latex to be in the subbing composition is one having a glass transition temperature of 35� C or lower, preferably 5� C. or lower, more preferably -20� C. or lower.
Specific examples of latex usable in the present invention include polyvinyl acetate, polybutyl methacrylate, polymethyl acrylate, polyethyl acrylate, polybutyl acrylate, polybutadiene, polyethylene, methyl methacrylate/ethyl acrylate copolymer, and vinyl acetate/ethylene copolymer which, however, are not limited.
The amount of the latex to be coated is preferably from 5 to 250 mg/m2, more preferably from 5 to 100 mg/m2.
The proportion of gelatin/latex is preferably within the range of 1/1 to 10/1, respectively.
Where a photographic emulsion layer is coated over the subbing layer-coated article of the present invention, too much of the total hydrophilic colloid coated is undesirable as it causes an increase of the water content used in the film during .development, and causes a superfluous load for drying the developed film. Therefore, the amount of the total hydrophilic colloid, to be coated on one surface of the photographic material of the present invention, is desirably 3 g/m2 or less, more preferably 2.8 g/m2.
As silver halides to be used in the light-sensitive silver halide emulsion constituting the photographic material of the present invention, any of silver chlorobromide, silver bromide, silver iodobromide, and silver chloroiodobromide can be used. Preferred is silver iodobromide. The silver iodide content in the silver halide is preferably 30 mol% or less, especially preferably 10 mol% or less. The iodide distribution in the silver iodobromide grains may be either uniform or different between the inside and the surface. The mean o . grain size of the grains is desirably 0.4 μm or more, more preferably from 0.5 to 2.0 μm. The grain size distribution of the grains may be either broad or narrow.
The silver halide grains in the emulsion may have a regular crystalline form such as a cubic, octahedral, tetradecahedral or rhombic dodecahedral crystalline form, or an irregular crystalline form such as a spherical, tabular or pebble-like crystalline form. They may also have a composite crystalline form. A mixture of grains of various crystalline forms may also be used.
Tabular grains having a mean aspect ratio larger than 5/1 are preferred, since they have a larger covering power than regular grains. Using such tabular grains, the amount of silver to be coated may well be reduced. In the present invention, it is desired that 50% by weight or more, more preferably from 70% by weight to 100% by weight, as the total projected area, of the total silver halide emulsion grains in the silver halide emulsion layer are tabular grains having a mean aspect ratio of larger than 5/1. Details of such silver halide emulsions are described in Research Disclosure No. 225, Item 22534, pages 20 to 58 (January, 1983) and JP-A-58-127921 and JP-A-58-113926.
The light-sensitive silver halide emulsion constituting the photographic material of the present invention may be composed of two or more different silver halide emulsions. They may be different from one another in grain size, halogen composition and sensitivity. A mixture comprising a light-sensitive emulsion and a substantially light-insensitive emulsion (where surfaces or insides may be either fogged or not fogged) may also be used. The light-sensitive emulsion and the substantially light-insensitive emulsion may be divided into two or more constitutive layers. (Details for making photographic emulsion layers are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,996,382 and 3,397,987, which may be referred to.) For instance, a light-sensitive silver halide emulsion of spherical or pebble-like grains and a light-sensitive silver halide emulsion of tabular grains having a ratio of diameter/thickness of 5 or more may be incorporated into one light-sensitive layer; or they may be provided on a support separately as different layers, like JP-58-127921. In the latter case of providing them on a support separately as different layers, the light-sensitive silver halide emulsion of tabular grains may be nearer to the support or oppositely remoter from the support than the other layer.
Photographic emulsions for use in the present invention can be prepared by known methods, for example, by those described in P. Glafkides, Chimie et Physique Photoqraphique (published by Paul Montel, 1967), G. F. Duffin, Photographic Emulsion Chemistry (published by the Focal Press, 1966), V. L. Zelikman et al, Making and Coating Photographic Emulsion (published by The Focal Press, 1964), and JP-A-58-127921 and JP-A-58-113926. Briefly, they may be prepared by any one of an acid method, a neutral method and an ammonia method. As a system of reacting a soluble silver salt and soluble halide(s), a single jet method, a double jet method or a combination of them can be employed.
A so-called reversed mixing method of forming silver halide grains in the presence of excess silver ions can also be employed. As one system of a double jet method, a so-called controlled double jet method for keeping a constant pAg value of the liquid phase yielding silver halide grains may also be employed. In accordance with this method, a silver halide emulsion comprising silver halide grains having a regular crystalline form and a nearly uniform grain size can be obtained.
Regarding the crystalline structure of silver halide grains constituting the photographic material of the present invention, the grains may have a uniform crystalline structure throughout the grain, or they may have a layered structure in which the inside part and the surface part have different halide compositions, or they may be so-called conversion type ones such as those described in British Patent 635,841 and U.S. Pat. No. 3,622,318. When silver halides are formed, in the step of forming silver halide grains or of physically ripening the formed silver halide grains, a cadmium salt, a zinc salt, a lead salt, a thallium salt, an iridium salt or a complex salt thereof, a rhodium salt or a complex salt thereof, or an iron salt or a complex salt thereof may be incorporated into the reaction system.
Additionally, in forming silver halide grains, a so-called silver halide solvent such as ammonia, thioether compounds, thiazolidine-2-thione, tetra-substituted thioureas, ureas, potassium thiocyanate, ammonium thiocyanate or amine compounds can be added to the reaction system so as to control the growth of the grains.
The silver halide emulsions for use in the present invention may be or may not be chemically sensitized. As a means of chemical sensitization of them, any one known in this technical field, such as sulfur sensitization, selenium sensitization, reduction sensitization and gold sensitization, can be employed singly or in combination.
Of noble metal sensitization, gold sensitization is typical, which may apply to the present invention. In gold sensitization, gold compounds, essentially gold complexes, are used. Needless to say, any complexes of noble metals other than gold complexes, such as those of platinum, palladium or iridium, can also be used in gold sensitization. Details of gold sensitization of photographic silver halide emulsions are described in U.S. Pat. No. 2,448,060 and British Patent 618,061.
As sulfur sensitizing agents to be used in sulfur sensitization, usable are sulfur compounds to be contained in gelatin as well as other various sulfur compounds such as thiosulfates, thioureas, thiazoles and rhodanines.
As reduction sensitizing agents, usable are stannous salts, amines, formamidinesulfinic acids and silane compounds.
Photographic emulsions constituting the photographic material of the present invention can contain various compounds for the purpose of preventing the material from fogging during manufacture, storage, photographic processing, or for the purpose of stabilizing the photographic properties of the material. For instance, various compounds known as an antifoggant or stabilizer can be used, including azoles (for example, benzothiazolium salts, nitroimidazoles, nitrobenzimidazoles, chlorobenzimidazoles, bromobenzimidazoles, nitroindazoles, benzotriazoles, aminotriazoles), mercapto compounds (for example, mercaptothiazoles, mercaptobenzothiazoles, mercaptobenzimidazoles, mercaptothiadiazoles, mercaptotetrazoles (especially, 1-phenyl-5-mercaptotetrazole), mercaptopyrimidines, mercaptotriazines), thioketo compounds (for example, oxadolinethione), azaindenes (for example, triazaindenes, tetrazaindenes (especially, 4-hydroxy-substituted (1,3,3a,7)tetrazaindenes), pentazaindenes), and benzenethiosulfonic acids, benzenesulfinic acids, and benzenesulfonic acid amides.

The light-sensitive silver halide emulsions for use in the present invention can be color-sensitized with sensitizing dyes to be sensitive to blue light, green light, red light or infrared light having a relatively long wavelength. As sensitizing dyes for this purpose, usable are cyanine dyes, merocyanine dyes, complex cyanine dyes, complex merocyanine dyes, holopolar cyanine dyes, styryl dyes, hemicyanine dyes, oxonole dyes and hemioxonole dyes.
Sensitizing dyes may be added to silver halide emulsions at any step of the process of manufacturing emulsions, or they may also be added to emulsions at any stage after manufacture of them and just before coating of them. As examples of the former, sensitizing dyes are added to silver halide grains in the step of forming them or in the step of physically ripening or chemically ripening the formed silver halide grains.
The photographic emulsion layer and other hydrophilic colloid layers constituting the photographic material of the present invention can contain various surfactants as a coating aid or for other various purposes such as: prevention of static charges; improvement of slide property; improvement of emulsification and dispersion; and, prevention of surface blocking and improvement of photographic properties (for example, for acceleration of developability, elevation of hard contrast and elevation of sensitivity).

They can be used either singly or in combination. Above all, active vinyl compounds described in JP-B-53-41220, JP-B-53-57257, JP-B-59-162546 and JP-B-60-80846 and active halogenated compounds described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,325,287 are preferred.

The processing temperature may be selected from the range of 18� C. to 50� C. As the case may be, a lower temperature than 18� C. or a higher temperature than 50� C. may also be employed. Preferably, processing with an automatic developing machine at a temperature from 20� C. to 40� C. applies to the photographic material of the present invention. In this case, the processing time (from introduction of a photographic material into a processing machine to taking out of the processed and dried material therefrom) is desirably from 10 seconds to 3 minutes and 30 seconds, especially preferably from 15 seconds to 90 seconds, most preferably from 15 seconds to 45 seconds.

Nestled at the base of the San Bernardino Mountains, Le Rendez-Vous Restaurant's scenic locale certainly lends the restaurant the romantic edge.

Once dining companions have honed in on an award-winning entree from the French-inspired menu, servers can happily recommend wine pairings such as chenin blanc, gewürztraminer, and Bordeaux.
4775 N Sierra Way
With 16 homemade, velvety flavors that range from cherry to peanut butter, the Italian ice at Frostbites is a spectacular dessert on its own. But the menu doesn't stop there: to create their most popular confection, sorbet cream, the staff serves scoops of their italian ice atop swirls of vanilla or chocolate frozen custard. You can even combine two or more flavors of italian ice to create a colorful sundae or shake—staffers happily hand out bite-sized samples to help you craft your perfect combo or fit a snack for later in your breast pocket. For a more substantial dessert, try a sweet crepe topped with fruit, nuts, and other toppings.
10347 Magnolia Ave
Riviera Family Restaurant
Riviera in Riverside is a well-known French restaurant, delivering a laid-back atmosphere with a delicious menu. The casual atmosphere and reasonable prices allow guests to focus on what matters: the superb quality.
A breakfast staple in the community for more than two decades, you shouldn't walk away from Riviera disappointed. Don't worry about trying to find a spot on the street, as visitors to the restaurant do have access to a private parking lot nearby. Should you prefer to pedal over there, bicycle parking's also offered.
One of the highest-rated bakeries in Rancho Cucamonga, Crepes De Paris offers a familiar vibe with an inspired menu that features crepes. It's a popular spot for guests looking for delicious food.
Thanks to its outdoor seating, the restaurant is a fantastic option when you want to kick back and relax in the Cali sun. There's no specific recommended attire, so feel free to dress casually and comfortably. Also, though the overall price can be a bit on the low side, you won't be sacrificing any quality. In fact, you should be able to enjoy a good meal for $11 or $12, and can probably get in and out for $8 if you try.
There really is something for everyone, with gluten-free options, as well as low-fat and vegetarian items on the robust menu. Plus, most local parents will tell you that it's a good place to bring the kids, as well. In addition to its convenient take-out offerings, the restaurant even provides catering for events around town.
A reputable favorite for breakfast, brunch, and lunch, Crepes De Paris is a terrific choice when you're in the mood for unique international cuisine, and want to break away from the standard Chinese/Mexican/Italian fare. Its crepe is known to be "savory" and "good." Visitors to the restaurant have access to a private lot nearby or can park on the street. Prefer to pedal your way there? Bicycle parking is also offered.
7876 Monet Ave
Ayres Brasserie
At Ayres Brasserie, you will forget that you aren't in France because of its fine French cuisine and talented chefs.
When you're ready to pig out, Ayres Brasserie is ready to serve you the scrumptious food you're craving.
A meal at Ayres Brasserie will typically set you back about $30.
Densely packed conversations flutter across long, communal tables packed even more densely with hearty courses of sourdough bread and blue cheese, homemade soups, and oxtail stew. Platters of rustic, European-inspired cooking pass from person to person. All the while, the house wine keeps flowing. This is a typical scene at Centro Basco—a historic restaurant and inn devoted to capturing the vivacious and independent spirit of the Basque region. A fiercely autonomous region of Spain along its mountainous border with France, Basque Country has its own distinct climate, its own language (one of the few in the world with no known relationship to any other language), and its own unique approach to food. "Opened in 1940, along with a boarding house for shepherds, this sprawling restaurant is one of the last remnants of the local Basque population who once herded sheep in what is now fully suburbanized Chino," notes Gayot. The Berterretches—a family with strong genealogical ties to the Basque countryside—assumed ownership in the 1970s, and they continue to embrace the region's culture today. Their cozy, lodge-like eatery features large dining rooms devoted to spirited family-style feasts complete with special menus, as well as a separate area for guests looking to enjoy a more private meal.
Myriad cultural influences appear throughout the menu. Dishes such as the oven-roasted lamb with a kick of garlic and the grilled calamari steak with tomato-pepper sauce clearly embrace the restaurant's distinctively Basque roots. At the same time, French and Italian entrees—including chicken cordon bleu and veal parmesan—lend a pan-European vibe to the selection.

College Choice Releases 2017 Rankings of the 20 Best Online Associate’s in Medical Office Assisting
College Choice Releases 2017 Rankings of the 20 Best Online Associate's in Medical Office Assisting
EUGENE, Ore., July 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- College Choice, a leading authority in college and university rankings and resources, has published its ranking of the 20 Best Online Associate's in Medical Office Assisting for 2017.
http://www.collegechoice.net/rankings/best-online-associates-in-medical-office-assisting/
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), healthcare is one of the largest and most lucrative career fields for those with associate's degrees. The BLS reports that healthcare support occupations, which are often open to those with an associate-level degree, have a mean annual wage of $34,950—but many positions pay even more.
"Earning your associate's degree in healthcare administration is a great way to enter the field of medical office management," Christian Amondson, Managing Editor of College Choice, said of the ranking. "An associate's degree now can start you along the path to an entry-level job – or it can lay the groundwork for your bachelor's degree or graduate work later on."
College Choice's criteria in generating this ranking include the percentage of students successfully completing the program, selectivity in admissions, and whether or not the school has regional accreditation.
The ranking for the 20 Best Online Associate's in Medical Office Assisting for 2017 finds Liberty University in the top spot. Keiser University is in second, and Florida Institute of Technology rounds out the top three.
