Laila Ali: I'm Going to Be a Strict Mom!

Her son is not here yet, but Laila Ali already knows exactly what type of mother she's going to be.

The boxer and her husband, NFL player Curtis Conway, expect their boy, to be named Curtis Muhammad, in September, and she's not the only one excited. Dad Muhammad Ali can't wait for his grandson to arrive either.

"He's very excited to be having a boy in particular," Laila says.

So far, the 30-year-old has had a relatively easy pregnancy. No morning sickness or weird cravings of any sort. And the baby weight?

Zacbrowswe This is how to be a grandpa. 



When John LeSieur saw his 6-year-old grandson Zackary, who is autistic, getting frustrated when he tried to use a computer, LeSieur decided to take some initiative. He built the boy a custom-made browser. 



The Zac, or "Zone for Autistic Children," provides a window onto the Web that is trimmed of excessive motion and complexity, allowing children with the condition to navigate certain sites without becoming overwhelmed by noisy stimuli. 



Zackary, who doesn't speak much, has begun using the browser and is able to start it by himself. "He enjoys listening to music through the program and trying puzzles," his mother told AP tech writer Brian Bergstein,"things he always liked before but hadn't been able to explore online."
