Fordham Rd., Bronx, NY 10458, 718-817-4485 [email protected] ABSTRACT We describe a cognitive vision system for a mobile robot. This system works in a manner similar to the human vision system, using saccadic, vergence and pursuit movements to extract information from visual input. At each fixation, the system builds a 3D model of a small region, combining information about distance, shape, texture and motion. These 3D models are embedded within an overall 3D model of the robot's environment. This approach turns the computer vision problem into a search problem, with the goal of constructing a physically realistic model of the entire environment.

    LA SALLE ACADEMY 2017-2018 ANNUA L UPDATE OUR MISSION The mission of La Salle Academy, a rigorous college-preparatory high school, is to educate students of diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds with special outreach to those most in need. We provide a nurturing environment, which fosters spiritual, moral, intellectual, emotional and physical growth in the Roman Catholic tradition and the Lasallian spirit, as embodied in St. John Baptist de La Salle. We create experiences of community within the school and encourage each student to develop their gifts and talents for their own growth, as well as engage in the caring service of others, through its academic, extra-curricular and spiritual programs. LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD Dear Members of the La Salle Community, As we begin another school year, I wanted to take the opportunity to update the La Salle Community on a few of the things happening at La Salle. At the close of fiscal 2018, we find ourselves in one of the best financial positions the school has ever been in. We have just concluded our fourth consecutive year of significant growth in fund raising with nearly $2.7M and our projections are to exceed that amount again this year. I would like to congratulate our administration and faculty led by Dr. Catherine Guerriero. Over the past year, we have expanded to the third floor in our current building and have added a band room, a Chapel, a special education classroom and a library. In addition, we now have more flagship programs than ever before that wrap around the core academic work of La Salle: La Salle in the City (action-based learning trips), La Salle @2:30 (after-school clubs), La Salle Works (internships), La Salle Partners (several collegiate partnerships including The Cooper Union, NYU, La Salle University and St.

  • Religion at Manhattan College and the Lasallian Vision.” AXIS: Journal of Lasallian Higher Education 8, No
    Salm, Luke. “Religion at Manhattan College and the Lasallian Vision.” AXIS: Journal of Lasallian Higher Education 8, no. 1 (Institute for Lasallian Studies at Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota: 2017). © Luke Salm, FSC. Readers of this article have the copyright owner’s permission to reproduce it for educational, not-for-profit purposes, if the author and publisher are acknowledged in the copy. Religion at Manhattan College and the Lasallian Vision Luke Salm, FSC2 To begin with, we had better be clear about the meaning of that elusive word Lasallian. Sometimes it is stretched to mean almost anything, which is another way of saying it means nothing. That term makes sense only if it derives from and refers to the seventeenth century French priest whose name is John Baptist de La Salle, Founder of the Brothers of the Christian Schools. De La Salle was a man of vision, not that he had visions, but that he could see. And he not only saw things with his own two eyes, but increasingly throughout his difficult and turbulent life he saw things with the eyes of God, a faith vision. He lived constantly in the presence of God and trusted implicitly in the providence of God. He encouraged the early Brothers to cultivate this faith vision, the spirit of faith as he called it, by frequently recalling the presence of God as we still do today. In his Rule he tells the Brothers that the spirit of faith leads them not to look on anything except with the eyes of God and not to do anything except with God in view.
