Watch This: iPad Saves Man From Foul Ball to the Face

Is there an app for that?

An iPad proved to be more than a way to take pictures for a man at a recent softball game at the UNI-Dome. A foul ball flew toward him - and slammed into his iPad instead of his face. The video has been picked up by media across the country, with the original YouTube video now at 845,000 views and climbing. The iPad was apparently unharmed by the collision, as the man went back to filming the game. Here's hoping he got some good footage.

Iowa Patch Poll: Are Pink Locker Rooms Discriminatory?

The University of Iowa has a pink locker room for opponents. But speakers at a state LGBTQ conference last week say that is discriminatory and possibly illegal. What do you think? Vote in our poll and tell us your views in comments below.

Is pink a color for girls and sissies? A way to shame athletic opponents who have to dress in a pink locker room? Or even discriminatory and illegal? Pink locker rooms -- such as the opponent's locker room at the University of Iowa and others around the country -- are about shame, implying that a football team’s opponents are girlish, dainty and weak, said Jill Gaulding at a state LGBTQ Youth conference last week, the Des Moines Register reports.
