thursday, august 30, 2012 NEWSPAPER •DAILYIOWAN.COM • TELEVISION 50¢ Summit attempts rebirth Breath test site takes breather By Matt Starns [email protected] A website aimed at aggregating Iowa’s alcohol-breath-test results was shut down Tuesday afternoon following a request from the state’s Attorney General’s Office. The recently created site held a database of breath-test results, breath-test machine certification records, and training records for officers operating the machines from law-en- forcement agencies statewide. The searchable information was available both to law-en- forcement authorities and the general pub- lic. But citing privacy concerns, officials shut down the site until further notice. Division of Criminal Investigation crimi- nalist Jim Bleskacek said the Attorney Gen- eral’s Office is working with county attorneys to resolve the concern, which caused the site to shut down around 4:30 p.m. Tuesday. “There’s some question on whether or not the information we’re providing could be prej- udicial toward the subject,” Bleskacek said Wednesday.

Yotopia Iowa City’s original locally GOT owned frozen-yogurt shop. What you should know: Partnered with Molly’s Cupcakes to serve cupcake bits as toppings on the yogurt.

Yotopia, 132 S. Clinton, opened in the fall of 2011 after owner and entrepreneur Veronica Tessler pursued the idea for Iowa City’s first frozen-yogurt business. While Aspen Leaf and Orange Leaf are nationwide franchises, Tessler said, she’s not concerned because she has plans to enhance Yotopia and FROYO? make it stand out against the new competition. “We’re getting into the breakfast arena and opening a breakfast bar,” she said. “We are going to serve local organic breakfast yogurt as well as fresh fruits, nuts, and local granola.” You bet.

Owner’s Favorite: Overhue — Peanut butter with hot fudge, Reece’s, and brownie toppings.

Aspen Leaf A frozen-yogurt business that doubles as a chocolate factory.

What you should know: All yogurt served is kosher and comes from Rainbows End Farms in California.

Aspen Leaf, 125 S. Dubuque St., will bring something new to the table in late September. “What’s going to make us different is we are owned by the Rocky Mountains chocolate factory, which has been around since 1981 and has around 400 locations worldwide and around 300 nationally,” said Steve Perlowski, Aspen Leaf’s retail-operation manager. The Iowa City Aspen Leaf will be a co-brand featuring the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Fac- tory, he said. “How we diversify ourselves is we don’t only serve yogurt,” he said. “If you don’t want yogurt, you can get caramel apples, chocolate-dipped strawberries, chocolate-dipped bananas, chocolate-dipped cheesecake, apples decorated in crushed butter fingers, M&Ms, and Snickers.” Aspen Leaf uses live active cultures to create its frozen yogurt.

Retail Operations Manager Favorite: Perlowski — Brownie batter with peanut butter, cookie dough, and hot fudge toppings.

Juhl thanks horoscopes Brendan O’Donnell for today’s Ledge idea. ARIES March 21–April 19 Share your feelings and your plans for the future. Someone you work alongside will let you know if you are not being realistic. Weigh the pros and cons, but base your decision on your abilities, not someone else’s. TAURUS April 20–May 20 Don’t give in to a bully when you are far smarter and more capable. Saying no will give you greater control and the feeling of power. Love is in the stars, and letting someone know how much you care will bring good results. GEMINI May 21–June 20 Don’t let responsibilities overwhelm you. Emotional confusion will set in regarding matters pertaining to home, family, and your status. A change may be required, but it shouldn’t cost you. Clear the air, but don’t pay for someone else’s mistake. CANCER June 21–July 22 Take a trip or sign up for a seminar, trade show or something that will inspire you to make some much-needed changes at home or at work. Love is in the stars, and more time spent with someone special will ease your stress. LEO July 23–Aug. 22 Generosity will help connect you to people who have something to offer. A money deal with an unusual twist will entice you, but before you take part, find out how much input you will have in the outcome. A trip will pay off. VIRGO Aug. 23–Sept. 22 Be honest about your abilities and what you have done in the past. Someone will be quick to remind you of some of your less favorable moments if you brag or try to control a situation that needs expertise you can’t offer. LIBRA Sept. 23–Oct. 22 You will be a magnet for information. Listen up; the knowledge you receive will help you diversify and excel. A change in a partnership is likely to occur. Don’t let anyone bully you. Take control, and make what you want very clear. SCORPIO Oct. 23–Nov. 21 Don’t trust anyone who promises unrealistic offerings or results. Make the changes that suit your needs and that will allow you to remain in control of your future prospects. Take competition by surprise by offering something unique. SAGITTARIUS Nov. 22–Dec. 21 Add a little excitement to your life. Communicating with people who share your enthusiasm and energy will lead to an opportunity to join a team or partnership on the rise. Make adjustments at home that suit your current lifestyle. CAPRICORN Dec. 22–Jan. 19 Personal investments can pay off, but only if you stick to what works for you instead of being enticed to follow someone else. Emotional connections must not be allowed to interfere with your financial dealings. AQUARIUS Jan. 20–Feb. 18 A false sense of belonging will lead to personal problems. Try not to judge or to make assumptions that will cause friction with someone you love. You must secure your personal relationships by doing your best to make your home and family inviting. PISCES Feb. 19–March 20 Get serious about your professional goals. Talk to anyone in a position to help you advance. Socializing and celebrating late in the day will help build your confidence and improve your personal life. Honesty will alleviate confusion
