(ABC 6 NEWS) -- After a brief hiatus Thursday due to the snow storm, the trial of 14-year-old Noah Crooks resumed Friday in Clarion, Iowa.
Crooks is accused of killing his mother and attempting to sexually assault her at the family's home in Osage in March of last year.
Crooks is accused of killing his mother and attempting to sexually assault her at the family's home in Osage in March of last year.
William Crooks struggled to keep his emotions in check throughout his testimony Friday, which focused in part on his son's relationship with his mother.
William Crooks testified that the two had a loving relationship, punctuated by intense arguments.
When asked if he had ever heard Noah threaten to kill his mother, he said he had.
"I guess I didn't take it as a threat at the time, but yes," William Crooks said. "On a few occasions he said that he wished she was dead and in a ditch."
Both prosecutors and defense attorneys also focused on Noah's mental health background.
His dad testified that Noah had been on medication for A.D.D. since he was 8 years old, and had occasional outbursts in class and on the school bus.
His troubles became more physical in fifth grade.
"He would pull all of the hair off his head, his eyebrows, his eyelashes, and he'd pull the hair off his legs," William Crooks said. "His arms too. Anywhere that he had hair, he pulled it out.'"
William Crooks said Noah became more violent in recent years, breaking windows and using a knife to stab the wooden pillars, couch cushions, and doors in the family's home.
William Crooks said the violent outbursts came out of the blue and were not planned, adding that often Noah could not remember why he had acted out, but always atoned for his actions.
The trial will resume in Wright County District Court on Monday morning.

This guy, Dave Forbes, designed a video coat. It's 160×120 LED (for all you light measurement nerds) of "wearable NTSC television made of circuit boards and LED flex boards hot-glued to a standard lab coat." Its input comes from an iPod, and the coat — on which the brightness and color can be controlled by actual knobs, Epcot-style — displays text, imagery, and video.
With enough battery power to last an hour, Dave Forbes's video coat is the perfect tool on which to watch The Simpsons because, hello, what else would you watch? NOVA? Get real.
Or you can just go to Burning Man and look for Dave. He'll be there all coated up.

In late 1999, the U. S. Department of Agriculture National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), the Illinois Department of Agriculture (IDA), and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) began a cooperative, interagency initiative to produce statewide land cover information on a recurring basis. The Illinois Interagency Landscape Classification Project (IILCP) completed Cycle 1 of this initiative in the summer of 2002, resulting in the Land Cover of Illinois 1999-2000 inventory and associated database.
It should be noted that there are contrasts between the 1991-1995 and the 1999-2000 land cover inventories, and the principal differences are as follows:
The Land Cover of Illinois 1999-2000 database includes four distinct, but closely interrelated products, and each of these products is described in more detail below. These data products are available for download at this web site. They are as follows:
Land Cover of Illinois 1999-2000 Classification
This is the primary product of the IILCP initiative and is the result of integrating the directed supervised classification of agricultural lands and the unsupervised classification and spectral class labeling of non-agricultural lands. The primary source information for the computer classification is Landsat 5 TM and Landsat 7 ETM+ satellite imagery acquired for three dates (triplicates) during the spring, summer, and fall seasons of 1999 and 2000. Ten TM Path/Row scene areas are required to cover Illinois, and same year imagery was acquired for the TM/ETM+ triplicates to ensure seasonal consistency for the computer classification. The satellite imagery for four of the TM scene areas was acquired in 1999, and the remaining six scene areas were acquired in 2000 (see 1999-2000 TM Coverage Map).
All of the TM/ETM+ satellite imagery were geometrically corrected and co-registered to a transverse Mercator projection with a UTM zone 16 grid and NAD83 datum. The 1999 TM/ETM+ imagery is a mixture of simple geometric correction and terrain correction, while all of the 2000 imagery was terrain corrected using USGS 3 arc-second digital elevation model (DEM) data to correct relief displacement. The TM/ETM+ multispectral imagery possesses a 30x30 meter (98.4x98.4 feet) ground spatial resolution, which means that the resulting Land Cover of Illinois 1999-2000 Classification data is suitable for GIS and mapping applications at a scale of approximately 1:100,000 (1"=8,333') or smaller.
The computer classifications of the geometrically corrected and co-registered TM/ETM+ triplicates were conducted on a scene-by-scene basis. Spectral signatures were extracted from each TM/ETM+ triplicate data set utilizing an Isodata K-means clustering procedure (Duda and Hart 1973) and experimentation indicated that 200-250 spectral classes should be derived for each data set. The performance of several standard classifiers including minimum Euclidean distance, minimum Mahalanbois distance, and non-thresholding maximum likelihood have been evaluated and the results indicated greater improvement in classification accuracy can be achieved from the use of a maximum likelihood classifier, and this is supported by other research (Luman and Ji 1995; and Gong and Howarth 1990). The labeling and reduction of the spectral classes from the unsupervised classification procedures into the final information classes (water, wetland, etc.) was accomplished by photo-interpretation of NAPP 3 aerial photography. The supervised classification of agricultural lands, which used USDA-NASS ground reference data as training data collected the same year for 425 sites across the state, directly resulted in information classes and therefore no additional class labeling was necessary. The resulting integrated classification contains 23 land cover categories, which are as follows:
Landsat 7 ETM+ Panchromatic Image Mosaic
The Landsat 7 ETM+ sensor contains a Panchromatic channel sensitized to the green, red, and a portion of the near infrared reflected wavelengths, which corresponds to 0.52-0.90 micrometers within the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS). This broad band channel somewhat mimics a black-and-white (panchromatic) photograph, with the exception that traditional panchromatic photography is restricted to the visible portion of the EMS, extending from 0.38-0.74 micrometers.
As previously mentioned, the multispectral channels of the Landsat 5 TM and Landsat 7 ETM+ sensors possess a ground spatial resolution of 30x30 meters (98.4x98.4 feet). In contrast, the Landsat 7 ETM+ Panchromatic channel possesses a ground spatial resolution of 15x15 meters (49.2x49.2 feet), which means that it is suitable for GIS and mapping applications at a scale of approximately 1:50,000 (1"=4,167'') or smaller.
A review of the TM/ETM+ triplicates used for the IILCP initiative revealed that 1999 or 2000 Landsat 7 ETM+ Panchromatic imagery was available for all ten TM Path/Row scene areas within a one month fall period in 1999 or 2000 (compare fall season acquisition dates on the 1999-2000 TM Coverage Map). This narrow time span ensured consistency in ground conditions, creating the optimum conditions for development of a statewide mosaic. Wherever possible, the Panchromatic imagery was mosaicked along county boundaries, and each county area was individually contrast balanced. The final version of the Landsat 7 ETM+ Panchromatic Image Mosaic was compressed using MrSID for purposes of distribution.
TM Path/Row Pseudocolor Spectral Class Maps
Click for larger image
These single band, spectral class maps can be color coded (pseudocolor) to simulate any 3-band RGB rendition from the original TM/ETM+ satellite imagery for the spring, summer, and fall seasons. The large number of spectral classes combined with the landscape complexity within each of the Path/Row scene areas results in Pseudocolor Spectral Class Maps that contain a large amount of detailed information. Since they mimic the original TM/ETM+ triplicates, this data product can also be used as an image map base for use in GIS and mapping applications.
An example will serve to demonstrate the potential for this data product. To the right is a small portion of the Pseudocolor Spectral Class Map for the Peoria, Illinois area. This fall season (October 10, 2000) image has been color coded to simulate a false color infrared photograph. Note the amount of feature detail that is afforded with the 200+ spectral classes. In the second view, two spectral classes (#6 and #86) have been highlighted in bright blue and yellow, respectively, in order to discriminate them from all of the remaining spectral classes. Spectral class #6 represents Peoria Lake, Upper Peoria Lake, and a portion of the mainstem of the Illinois River. Spectral class #86 represents one category of upland forest. Resource analysts can therefore derive their own variation of a land cover map for selected study areas by simply altering the colormap using a variety of GIS or graphics software.

SOUTH WHITLEY — The Lady Wildcats basketball team came into Saturday looking for its third win in a row. Northfield was looking for its fourth victory in five tries.
Unfortunately for Whitko, the Lady Norse achieved their goal, mounting a double-digit comeback to beat the Lady Wildcats, 59-47.
Jordan Hall got Whitko on the board early with an inside basket before the Northfield hit four straight from the foul line to take a 4-2 lead.
The Lady Norse scored 4-of-8 shots from the line in the first quarter, stemming from six Lady Wildcat fouls.
In Whitko's favor, Northfield was only able to convert six (43 percent).
The teams traded the lead three times until they found themselves knotted at 15 points with five minutes remaining in the half.
Micaela Sylvester got herself to the line and hit both from 15 feet to re-take the lead.
The teams headed for the locker room with Whitko enjoying a double-digit lead, 31-21. The second half was a much different affair.
Hall began the third as she did the first, producing points for the Lady Wildcats and extending their lead to 13.
Whitko didn't score for the next four minutes.
Olinske, who led Whitko with 17 points, opened the final eight minutes with a shot from the 20-foot radius for three points.
Whitko's three starting guards (Olinske, Sylvester and Reiff) each fouled out midway through the final period.
The three have combined for 627 of the Lady Wildcats' 824 points on the season (76.1%), posing a major offensive deficit for Whitko.
Unlike its first half struggles from the line, Northfield went 10-for-12 down the stretch from the charity stripe.
The Lady Wildcats drop to 8-9 having just gotten to .500 on Jan. 17.
Whitko visits Fort Wayne Canterbury Tuesday.

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Attorneys for Gov. Nikki Haley and Attorney General Alan Wilson said in court papers filed this week that the state of South Carolina doesn't have to recognize gay marriages performed legally in other states and the nation's capital.
That argument, filed in federal court Thursday, comes in response to a lawsuit earlier this year by a gay couple legally married in Washington, D.C., and now living in South Carolina.
Highway Patrol Trooper Katherine Bradacs and Tracie Goodwin — married last year — are suing Haley and Wilson to have the state's ban on gay marriage overturned. They argue a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision shows that states can't outlaw same-sex marriages because they do not approve of them.
In June, the nation's high court issued two rulings dealing with same-sex marriages. One ruling cleared the way for ending a ban on same-sex marriages in California; the other struck down a 1996 law passed by Congress that banned federal recognition of same-sex marriages.
Fifteen states and the District of Columbia currently allow same-sex marriage, and a bill is awaiting the governor's signature in Illinois. South Carolina passed a law banning same-sex marriage in 1996, and voters passing a similar constitutional amendment in 2006 with 78 percent of the vote.
The court made no determination over how states must deal with gay marriages in other states. In Missouri, which has a constitutional provision defining valid marriages as between a man and a woman, Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon said this week he would issue an executive order directing state tax officials to accept returns jointly filed by same-sex couples who have legally married in other states.
Arguing that South Carolina isn't required to recognize the marriage, state prosecutors representing Haley and Wilson, both Republicans, also refuted the contention that the couple's children would be hurt by the state's stance. They said forcing South Carolina to change course is unconstitutional.
"They deny that the lack of recognition is intended to or does, in fact, communicate that their relationship is 'unworthy,"' the state's lawyers wrote. "To require the state of South Carolina to recognize same-sex marriages from other jurisdictions, or to permit such marriages itself, would be contrary to the Tenth Amendment and the sovereign interests of the state," Haley and Wilson's attorneys wrote.
No hearings have been scheduled in the lawsuit, which also asks a judge to temporarily suspend the gay marriage ban while the issue is in court.

Bath library launches teen programming council
BATH — Morse High School students aim to drive teen programming at Patten Free Library and help the library attract adolescent patrons through a Teen Library Council.
"We are thrilled with the enthusiasm and efforts of this new group," library director Lesley Dolinger said in an April 9 press release. "Many teens who used the library as children just stop coming when they reach high school. They get busy with other things. We hope the ideas and efforts of these students will help spread the word that the library still has a lot to offer teens."
High school sophomores Mallory Goodine, Kara Leavitt, Heaven-Leigh Rose, David Rice and Catherine Sener became members of the council early this month. While they intend to hold events geared toward their fellow high school students, they said they also want to organize activities that reach a broader audience.
"I've always loved reading books and going to the library since I was a little kid, but as I got older, I started going there less and less," Goodine said in an April 11 e-mail. "For some reason, I just never seemed to have time for going to the library, or a visit seemed rather unappealing."
But taking part in the council is now "a way for me to help out my community as well as going back to the one place I had always loved," she explained. "I personally would like to see the council be able to get some programs together for teenagers to come and enjoy, and hopefully with a somewhat large turnout."
Planned programming includes a May 25 debate demonstration, featuring state-championship-level debaters from Bath and other Maine high schools, as well as a teen writers' group, student art exhibition, teen movie nights, a comedy night and a board game tournament.
Teenagers who would like to join the group or who have ideas for events can contact Roberta Jordan, outreach and instruction librarian, at 443-5141 ext. 25, or firstname.lastname@example.com.
