Art/Architecture; A Pragmatic Modernist Prepares for Post-Modern Life
By JEFFREY KASTNER
Published: January 6, 2002
IT is a blustery afternoon just before Thanksgiving, and Kirk Varnedoe is on the phone in his office at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, working out the final details of a new acquisition. Complex negotiations are nothing unusual for Mr. Varnedoe -- as chief curator of the Modern's department of painting and sculpture since 1988, he has spent roughly a quarter of his life as the steward of the world's premier collection of modern art, a role in which scholarship and aesthetic decisions are always tempered by the practicalities of loans, bequests and purchases. But this acquisition is different. In October, Mr. Varnedoe announced that he was leaving the Modern. And today the negotiations he's involved in have to do not with the museum but with his life after it.
This month, Mr. Varnedoe, 55, will join the faculty at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, N.J.; the phone call he's on turns out to be about a few remaining glitches with the new house he and his wife, the artist Elyn Zimmerman, have found nearby. While he debates the finer points of septic tanks, Mr. Varnedoe glances out his window overlooking the space that was the museum's sculpture garden, now a construction site as a mammoth expansion project, costing more than $500 million, begins to take shape. As 2002 begins, the day-to-day operations of the museum are being transferred to a temporary site in Queens; the Manhattan location will be shuttered by May. And when the Modern opens its doors again in midtown sometime in 2005, it will do so without the man who has been a highly visible curatorial presence for almost two decades.
''It's hard to reconstruct just how aimless one's life was,'' says Mr. Varnedoe with a smile as he connects the dots that led him from a genteel childhood in Savannah, Ga., to the New York art world. It might seem an unlikely comment from a man whose reputation is for brimming self-confidence and whose résumé -- Ph.D. by the age of 26, full professorship in his mid-30's, MacArthur Foundation ''genius grant'' before 40, the world's most prestigious modern-art curatorship at 42 -- suggests a nonstop rise to the top of his profession. But in person, Mr. Varnedoe is wry, reflective and often self-effacing. And he's quick to attribute his successes to good fortune and helpful mentors -- from S. Lane Faison, the Williams College professor who first turned him on to the ''music'' of 19th-century French art and ''self-growth through disciplined thinking,'' to William Rubin, the tough-minded chief curator at the Modern who saw a successor in Mr. Varnedoe when most others did not.
The youngest of four children, Mr. Varnedoe, like his siblings, headed off to boarding school in his teens. Valedictorian of his class at the tony St. Andrew's School in Delaware, he went on to Williams in Massachusetts, which he chose less for any specific academic reason than because it gave him a chance to pursue his real passion: football. His original plan was to study studio art, but he soon found himself gravitating to art-history courses, especially 19th- and 20th-century. By his graduation in 1967, Mr. Varnedoe knew he would never be an artist. Instead, he agreed to return the following year to teach art history as a graduate assistant and serve as a coach on the football team.
''It was the 60's,'' he says of his decision to teach, ''and you weren't convinced it was worthwhile to get older than 30. But you looked at Faison and Whit Stoddard,'' a medieval specialist at Williams, ''and they seemed to be having such a great time. There was a wonderful combination of discipline and critical function, but all in the service of making you appreciate more the world you saw around you.''
On a postgraduation tour through Europe, Mr. Varnedoe had taken a friend's advice and stopped into the Musée Rodin in Paris. He was dazzled by the work, and, during the following year at Williams, began his own course of study on Rodin. Having decided to go to graduate school the next year, Mr. Varnedoe was offered a fellowship by Stanford University. When he learned that the art historian Albert Elsen was about to take a job there, his decision was made. ''Elsen had written everything there was to write about Rodin,'' says Mr. Varnedoe, ''so this was like manna from heaven.''
In Palo Alto, Mr. Elsen took Mr. Varnedoe under his wing, bringing him in on a project to authenticate some questionable Rodin drawings. ''He'd just take these sheets out one at a time and go, 'No. No. No,' '' Mr. Varnedoe recalls. ''I was mystified. How on earth could he do this? Elsen said, 'Well, if you're interested in this subject, let's get you studying it,' '' and soon Mr. Varnedoe was back in Paris, once again immersed in archival research.
Three more years of study led to his first professional curatorial project, ''Rodin Drawings, True and False,'' which he and Mr. Elsen organized for the National Gallery of Art in Washington in 1971. His essay for the show's catalog formed the basis of his dissertation. More important, the experience crystallized his approach to scholarship and curating -- one based on a preference for close looking and intimate contact with the things artists make rather than on large-scale theoretical frameworks.

I have absolutely no idea what you are asking.
It is , i need a tip there to render a DivID's content of page, i call with link. Simple. Not all page but that selected part - there in picture.
So it will be - user has acces to edit posts or something through front end. I will use lightwindows.js
got it ? please i see this is high coding question..
My understanding is you wish to display just the posts table portion of the posts admin panel on a frontend page?
If so, there is not a template tag or function you can call to easily do this. Your page template will need to generate the table on it's own. You could start by examining how the admin panel table is generated in wp-admin/edit.php. Unfortunately, it uses private methods. Your code could extend the class WP_List_Table to do something similar. Or you could just start from the beginning and create your own table structure.
You'll also need to figure out the CSS, but if you can crate the table structure, this will be trivial.
Good day there,
This support made me to result. The most hardcore coding poetry.
This is what i did.
// {display:none;}
#wphead {display:none;}
#adminmenu ul {display:none;}
#adminmenu2 ul {display:none;}
#zeitgeist {display:none;}
#footer {display:none;}

One of the ladies state that after we audition they will hand us cards that reads basically we are interested or we are not, those who they are interested in will return the next day. Now the powerpoint presentation started with we do not ask for money and any agency that does is legit...ok remember that Now after we audition supposedly walking a imaginary runway on carpet to a boombox playing lady Gaga in front of two judges a woman in a man a woman who never stated her affialiation she only stated she went to modeling school when she was 15....Ive never seen her as a model before in my life and some other guy who looked completely bored..they not once stated their education nor expertise in the field but they are the "model" judges...
now after we all walked they asked who wanted to sing or act this is the kicker the lady who originally spoke of handing out cards said that those who are only interested in modeling can come downstairs to recieve their cards the foolishness is that she had everyone cards even those who havent audition for acting or singing so how can a decision be made for the actors and singers. Lastly if you are selected you have to pay &250 deposit to participate in a international showcase in July that cost $2500 in which you have to pay for also...but wait remember earlier the lady said that their was not any fees and an agency should never charge..this is a indirect charge..If they choose you, you shouldnt have to pay to participate in the showcase because you are chosen!!
Needless to say this was the most unprofessional audition I have ever been on a lot of people become so intrigued and excited by the power presentation and the stories they tell I mean I did but then the $2500 dollars....made me think PARENTS IF YOU CAN HELP IT HIDE THIS SITE FROM YOUR CHILDREN!!! Try other agencies!! Carolina talent is the biggest scam of the Carolinas even in the powerpoint I did not see any of their "models" in belks, dillard, or any other catelog BEWARE!! This is my personal experience not hear say I was selected and I attended oh an no I didnt get selected but after I was told 2500 I wasnt going to pursue even if chosen you can take head or take this with a grain of salt JUST BECAREFUL and DO NOT GIVE CAROLINA TALENT ONCE CENT OF YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY!!!! You would be better off investing in yourself ie website personal photos promotions..

The event ,you are referring to is an event that we attend annually where we take a group to a conference with agents, to be scouted for larger markets,we have no need to defend the event it has been around for over twenty five years with proven sucesses. Regarding a card given to all, yes that is how we decline or approve, all that attend get a "card" the cards states thanks we like you and would like to take the next step or the card says thanks but we have no interest at this time. Only a small percentage are invited to join our company or if potential is there for larger markets extend invite to the event that youa re referring to.. Do your research, vist all agencies, we are a sixty two years old company with clients all over, we do not charge for represetation we make mone from bookings, we do however, expect professional photos that are CT approved and we do charge an orientation fee which covers mailings, reels, vouchers and running comps to clients it is a one time fee throughout the duration of the contract. Hope this clears up your misunderstanding. Sometimes we can be pretty sore losers. Mandy Silla

Cafe Colombia , June 2016
Olivia Rios
The tour was a great overview of how beautiful and diverse Colombia is. Both parts of the tour were totally different. If you want more relaxing than take the second part of the tour: Colonial Colombia, the first part Cafe Colombia is more active yet and more culture. But I do recommend to do complete Colombia because the country has a lot to offer.

Tropical Depression Eight moving away from North Carolina coast: NHC
Tropical Depression Eight, now moving away from the North Carolina coast, could strengthen into a tropical storm on Wednesday, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.
WASHINGTON Gina McCarthy's embattled nomination to head the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency cleared a hurdle on Tuesday when one of her top Republican critics said he would not block a Senate vote on her appointment.
David Vitter of Louisiana, the ranking Republican on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, said he would support a full Senate vote on McCarthy now that the EPA had agreed to a series of requests he made to address complaints about transparency at the agency.
"I've had very productive conversations with EPA over the last several weeks, and believe the agency has taken significant steps forward on our five transparency requests... I see no further reason to block Gina McCarthy's nomination," Vitter said in a statement on his website.
The decision from Vitter comes as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid signaled he may start the process for a full Senate vote on McCarthy's nomination this week.
McCarthy is currently the top air quality official at EPA. She was nominated by Obama on March 4.
Among other actions, Vitter said the EPA has agreed to re-train its employees regarding record keeping under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and to commission an independent review of the agency's economic modeling.
Republicans have accused the Obama administration of attempting to circumvent public records laws by using personal emails for official business.
Critics of EPA have also questioned the economic assumptions the agency has used to support controversial regulations.
The EPA has been a lightning rod during the Obama administration, with opponents accusing the agency of regulatory overreach aimed at shutting down the nation's coal plants and stifling U.S. businesses.
Republican anger over the administration's environmental policies grew after President Barack Obama last month called on the EPA to enact new greenhouse gas pollution restrictions on U.S. power plants, many of which are powered by coal.
Some obstacles remain to McCarthy's nomination.
U.S. Senator Roy Blunt, a Republican from Missouri, said Tuesday that his hold on the nomination is still in place as he seeks answers in a dispute over a river project in his state.

Tropical Depression Eight, now moving away from the North Carolina coast, could strengthen into a tropical storm on Wednesday, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.
LONDON The British government should take a tougher stance against Volkswagen after its emissions fraud, as well as increase the use of electric cars and reduce air pollution from transport, a parliamentary environment committee said on Thursday.
TOKYO Nine people were killed when floods inundated an old people's home in Japan, police said on Wednesday, taking the death toll from a typhoon battering northern parts of the country to at least 11.

Closed toed shoes any(one/more)
Closed toed shoes any(one/more)
As an addition to 'travel footwear?' what is the word on closed toed shoes for temples. At this point I've seen countless folks wearing flip-flops (thongs) and sandals at temples throughout Thailand and Laos.
Do the locals not care anymore or are tourists just being insensitive and they're letting it go because of consideration for our ignorance? It seems covered shoulders and long pants are still necessary (especially at important sites in BKK). I'm just curious.

never heard of any requirement for closed toed shoes for temples.
palaces in Thailand & Wat Phra Kaew are strict about footwear but they do not insist on closed toed shoes - they just want footwear that has at least a strap around the heel (i.e. not flip flops), & so open toed sandals like Teva sandals are acceptable.
have been going to temples in Thailand since i was 6 y/o & have never worn closed toed shoes there, even when attending ceremonies.

I don't know - I only wear closed toe footwear, visiting temples or otherwise.

MADMAC - Just watched The Fighter. I think you'd like it. let me know what you think.
On the footwear - I must be mistaken. Often times I will hear something and then generalize it in my mind - so when I heard strapped heel, I must have visualized a full shoe . . . I still see a lot of flip-flops.

Where has caseyprich been?
apart from Wat Phra Kaew in BKK, i go to all other temples in Thailand, Laos, Malaysia & Singapore wearing flipflops...just like what the monks, nuns, temple staff & many local laypeople wear.

HUD officials in local, region, and even in Washington, DC would not assist me in my attempts to receive fair housing. They have been using "jargons" and not addressing the corruption that exist in these agencies which were designed to assist the elderly and disabled. Officials ignored my calls and emails for help.
I have had to fight every step of the way to keep from being wrongfully evicted from my home and to receive justice.
The battle is still going on.

News about the health and beauty of the natural world that sustains us.
By Adam Lafferty
Africa, bicycles, bicycling, charities, economy, Village Bicycle Project
The Village Bicycle Project, operated by the Palouse Clearwater Environmental Institute in Moscow, Idaho, was conceived in 1999 when its founder David Peckham traveled to Ghana to examine how the government's waiving of import taxes on bicycles years before had impacted cycling and see if there was any way to help out. Instead of a multilayered method financed by a commercial enterprise, collectors from all over the country as well as Canada and England donate used bicycles, parts and tools, and volunteer workers pack them in shipping crates, send them out to Africa and distribute them to families in destitute villages. The VBP has donated more than 45,000 used bicycles in the past ten years and has made a great deal of difference for tens of thousands of African people, most of whom cannot afford a car and would otherwise have to walk for miles to get to school or work.
Peckham in an interview says that as Americans see a bicycle as an alternative to driving, so most Africans see it as an alternative to walking. Riding a bicycle is four times faster than going on foot, and because few people in African villages have bicycles while in most places in the U.S. everyone has a car, they are seen as status symbols — owning one is a sign that one has more time to be productive and can save money on transportation. In a small village located miles away from schools, markets and hospitals in countries like Ghana where oil cannot solve its transportation and economic problems, a bicycle makes a family's daily needs more accessible and can help lift them out of poverty.
In 2009, VBP volunteers worked more than 12,000 hours distributing bicycles to families as well as setting up free workshops where new owners are taught basic maintenance and repair skills to help them become self-sustainable. Last April the organization reached a milestone by loading their one hundredth crate.

The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber
by Ernest Hemingway
Analysis: Steaminess Rating
Exactly how steamy is this story?
PG-13 for adult themes
So there is no "on-screen" sexuality in the story, but it's pretty clear that Margot sneaks off to Wilson's tent and sleeps with him. Really the sex isn't about sex at all. It's about power and punishment. Having sex with other men is Margot's way of humiliating Macomber. Not very steamy, is it?

Flu hitting hard in state
JACKSON, Miss. - The Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH) has received several reports from clinical partners throughout the state of serious complications from flu in younger adults, including deaths.
"The only type of flu identified in Mississippi so far this year is the 2009 influenza A H1N1 strain, which has in past years primarily affected those under 65 years of age," said Dr. Thomas Dobbs, MSDH State Epidemiologist. "This year, we've received reports of serious complications and some deaths associated with influenza infection in those under 65. During the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, 80 percent of the deaths were in people younger than 65, unlike a typical flu season in which the majority of deaths occur in those 65 and older."

arranged marriage for our children?
Islamically, dating is not permissible, so typically men will come visit the family of the girl wanting to get married. She then decides who she is interested in, and if the guy agrees then they will continue with.supervised visits and communication.
I did not understand by your post if you are.wanting your dd to meet her dh this way or through the typical american way of.dating (which just doesn't adhere to islam).
However, it also isn't islamic for the father to pick the husband without consent, nor is it allowed to force a woman to marry.
(on my phone, sorry for typos.)
لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا الله مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ الله
Arranged marriage doesn't mean your daughter can't choose. I have seen a whole range of "arranged marriages", from couples who didn't meet each other until their wedding day to couples who met in college, decided they were interested, and turned to their families to do the "arranging".
I think the term "arranged marriage" has taken on a negative connotation. The majority of folks I know the kids have taken an active part in the process. It isn't like the father comes home one day and says, "Daughter, you will marry the butcher who is 83 years old! Final!" Maybe the kids will meet somewhere and tell their parents they met someone they'd like to get to know better... or maybe the parents meet someone they think would be a good match for their child, so they "arrange" for them to meet with that intention.
I don't think it has to be so black and white; also, clearly you are quite a ways away from having to worry about it, lol! My oldest is 14, and I'm totally blocking it out of my mind (denial, denial, denial -- he cannot be that old already! lol ).
Oh, and as for my own children, we're taking a wait and see approach. Dh and I haven't sat down and said "this is how we're going to do this", there are so many factors that can come into play. Mostly, I would wait to see how my child wanted to handle it. Some, I know, want their parents' active help in finding someone while others prefer to approach it another way, kwim?
I wouldnt think her husband would just pick a husband and force it on her..
Let me clarify one thing for you...pakistan has millions of muslims and its a mixed gender type of society,same as usa.this doesnt mean that girls go out on dates..they have huge number of male friends from universities,jobs,neighbours ....so that is how they will have proposals to merry...sometimes it will be a complete stranger who saw her and liked her ,or just his mom heard women talking about her virtues,and beauty.
I dont know about arranging merridge.i know I will surely facilitate him great access to beautiful inside out girls ...it will be his choise and I wont say a word.
In case of a daughter it will be different.i am disgusted with cultural practise in pakistan to give huge dowries to the groom as merridge gift...not gonna happen!im thinking either let her merry an arab or a paki that will accept arabic way of maher and metaher.and give her,her own home.never live with in laws.
im thinking either let her merry an arab or a paki that will accept arabic way of maher
It's not just Arabic way- it's what Islam instructs us that the man has to give maher to the woman! That's disgusting that the guy would want a maher from the girl. So wrong.
-mass producer of small humans [but thinking of shutting down the factory]
I agree with what the other ladies said and especially Kate lol. I love the part about the 83 year old butcher
Being a convert and therefore, someone who has dated in the past, I actually think "arranged" marriage is more romantic. There's none of the game playing you have to deal with when you are just dating someone. You are only meeting men who you know are interested in marriage. From there you are just checking to see if that person would be a good fit for you. Is there an initial attraction there? Are basic morals and life goals similar? If they are not, the girl is not forced to marry the guy, she can simply say no and move on to the next. If there is a deeper connection and she wants to get to know the guy more then a "date" can be arranged in a public place where the guy and girl are not alone, since men and women who aren't married can't be alone together.
I know it seems like a foreign concept in the Western world, but this is basically the same way it was done with our grandmothers and great grandmothers years ago. My grandma said she was never alone with my grandpa before they got married. He would just come over the house and visit with her in the living room and if they did go out, one of her brothers would always come with them lol. She isn't that old either, she was born in the 1940s.
Even if you can't wrap your mind around it, I wouldn't worry too much at this point. Like pps have said your dd is still young and you, your dh and dd have years to figure it out.
"Daughter, you will marry the butcher who is 83 years old! Final!"
Oh Kate. Please tell me this was meant to be a Fiddler on the Roof reference.
I don't have anything useful to add until OP comes back and clarifies re: the meaning of "arranged marriage." The ladies here covered it pretty well.
I am a photographer and I have had the pleasure of photographing several arranged marriages. I have never seen an unhappy bride, and honestly you would never tell it was an arranged marriage.
I think you should look more in to it and go from there. Maybe keep an open mind as your children grow up.
Do you love great smelling candles? If so check out JEWELRY IN CANDLES. Jewelry hidden in each candle from $10 to $7500.
Oh Kate. Please tell me this was meant to be a Fiddler on the Roof reference.
Lol.. I think that's where it originated. Now I'll be stuck with Sunrise, Sunset going through my head all day!

Since beginning Yakuza 4 a few weeks back—I took a hiatus from it during a 10-day family vacation—, I've started but never followed through with a number of posts about it. One was tentatively titled Yakuzzzzza 4, and was about how I keep falling asleep during the unreasonably long cut scenes. (I'm not being hyperbolic. I really have fallen asleep to a number of them. The story is awful, long-winded, and can't be skipped.) I started another post about the overly literal—denotative, my translation professor would have called it—translation of the original script. And I conceptualized a post about the complete waste of time and self-esteem that is the hostess club mini-game.
However, this is the first post that I started and actually finished. It's also the first post that's regarded the game in a positive light. I write this 27 hours into Yakuza 4, with a classy vodka-Coke-Zero cocktail resting by my PS3 controller, and the knowledge that I hadn't wasted 40 bucks.
Objectively, Yakuza 4 is hardly a game of the year contender. Its graphics are dated. It reuses the previous game's environments. The story is poorly paced, too drawn-out, and absurdly melodramatic—even for a video game. But its ambitions are grand, and while it frequently fails or falls flat, it throws so much content at the player that, unless you're an obstinate prick or suffer from ADD, adult or otherwise, you're bound to like something.
Yakuza 4 is truly an open-world game. I'm not sure I would have called it that a few weeks ago, but I'm now convinced. It's not a western open-world game. The map isn't sprawling. Physically moving through the game world isn't particularly exciting—in fact, it's often clunky. And the graphics won't blow your mind. During my time with Yukuza 4, I've had very few moments in which I stopped, set the controller down, and marveled at the scenery. I've also never spent an hour just running from place to place. That isn't what Yakuza 4 is about, but though I've come to expect those notes to be hit by an open-world game I would still call Yakuza 4 open-world.
I've spent 3 full hours training fighters at a dojo, helping them become champions in the local coliseum. I've spent almost as long becoming a champion there myself, proving my worth and saving up for rare gear. I've wasted about 30 minutes winning bizarre stuffed animals in the several arcades scattered throughout Kamurocho. I've helped an old man mine underground caverns for a treasure buried long ago by his father. I've collected trash throughout the city and recycled it for points with a local homeless eco warrior. I've searched high and low for the twinkling blue lights of the game's many locker keys, which have netted me armor, weapons, crafting materials, and yen. I've even nursed a couple kittens back to life—one of the clearest and most welcome references to the original Shenmue I've seen all series.
And that's just scratching the surface. I could wile away the time playing pachinko or mahjong. I could shoot some pool, play some darts, or make it my goal to visit every bar in the city and drink every glass of scotch. I could head to the casino, one of which I was briefly a bouncer for, and try my luck at baccarat, blackjack, or roulette. I could hit a few balls at the batting cage. I could even ogle some strippers, if I were so inclined, or date a high-class prostitute. I've already done so much in the rather small—compared to many western developed open-world games—Kamurocho district, but there's still so much more that I'll never do.
On my Xbox 360, I'm slowly working my way through Assassin's Creed 2, which includes one massive city and a series of smaller areas. In the early part of the game, I was blown away by its scope and graphics. I could spend two or three minutes climbing a single building, and when I got to the top I could look out over everything and get a spectacular birds-eye view of renaissance-era Italy. For a while, that was enough. That's all I needed to keep popping in that disc and playing a few more hours. But, eventually, I began to notice how empty the world was. At any given moment, there might have been two or three other things I could have done instead of a story mission, but they were lifeless and repetitive.
I don't love each and every gameplay tangent Yakuza 4 throws my way, but I like having the ability and agency to say no, thanks. I also appreciate that as I run about Kamurocho I feel I'm moving past buildings, storefronts, and NPCs I could actually interact with if I weren't busy doing something else. Sure, the game world isn't massive or beautifully rendered, but it's teeming with life.
And if I ask myself what I really want out of an open-world game, it's that. It's the freedom to do what I want, and to feel as though I'll never have the time or energy to do it all. I like the feeling, after I've loaded up my save file, that I'm dropping into a game world far larger than the experience I'm about to have with it. I like knowing there's always something else to do, some other progress bar to fill up, another mini-game to master, or another rare, expensive item I can get only by keeping an eye out for litter and saving those eco-points. That's the experience Yakuza 4 delivers, and it's a concept I'd like to see more western-developed open-world games embrace. I don't just want more space. I want more life within it.

AbstractMethods to convert amines to formamides are of interest due to the many uses of formamides as synthetic intermediates. These methods include stoichiometric reactions of formylating reagents and catalytic reactions with CO as the carbonyl source. This review discusses the reported stoichiometric and catalytic approaches for preparation of formamides.

If V is a 3-dimensional Lie algebra with basis vectors E,F,G with Lie bracket relations [E,F]=G, [E,G]=0, [F,G]=0 and V' is the Lie algebra consisting of all 3x3 strictly upper triangular matrices with complex entries then would you say the following 2 mappings (isomorphisms) are different? I had to give an example of 2 different isomorphisms between these vector spaces.

Maybe this post is a little late given that the thread is a week old now, but recall that Lie algebra isomorphisms are also linear transformations, so are determined by their values on the basis elements E,F and G. So it seems your two maps are the same. However, the map you've given is an isomorphism and from this, it doesn't look too difficult to find a second?

The body of a stillborn girl was discovered under a New York City woman found dead Saturday in the family's Middle Smithfield Township vacation home, according to authorities.
Both bodies were found in a bathtub in the lower floor of the family's Pocono Forested Acres bilevel home.
The dead woman was identified as Bibi Farrouq, 41.
An autopsy revealed the baby was at least at seven months gestation.
Monroe County Coroner Bob Allen believes Farrouq probably died from a medical problem as a result of complications from her child's delivery.
The actual cause of death is pending the results of toxicology reports.
"We don't believe there was any foul play at this point," said state police investigator Craig Van Louvender of the Swiftwater barracks.
The woman was dead for at least 10 days, according to the autopsy. A neighbor and relatives of the victim said that the woman had been missing for about two weeks.
A more specific date and time of death was not possible because of the decomposition of both bodies.
Farrouq, a native of Guyana, South America, was a U.S. citizen.
A cousin said Bibi Farrouq was a stay-at-home mother who used to work in real estate in New York City.
"She was very loving, caring, sweet to her kids and smart," said her cousin, also named Bibi but who declined to give her last name. "She was like the typical soccer mom, doing everything for the kids. Their life has changed now."
Van Louvender said Farrouq's husband, Mohamed Farrouq, is an interstate trucker who was away from home at various times.
He and his four children discovered the dead woman after they drove from their New York City apartment to the Middle Smithfield Township home looking for her Saturday afternoon.
Allen pronounced the woman dead at 6:20 p.m. The investigation into her death was delayed until police could secure a warrant to search the home that evening.
Allen and Deputy Coroner Ron Eick discovered the baby's body later that night after they removed the dead woman's body from the tub.
The baby had been covered by the mother's body.
Neither body showed any signs of trauma, according to a forensic autopsy performed by Dr. Marianne Hamel of Lehigh Valley Hospital.
"She had no injury to herself, and there were no signs of an abortion," Allen said.
