< Return To Hearing
Peg LautenschlagerMarch 14, 2006
TESTIMONY OF WISCONSIN ATTORNEY GENERAL Mr. Chairman and members of the Committee, thank you for this opportunity to speak with you here today. Late last summer following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, Americans saw gasoline prices surge to all-time highs, and six months later those prices have still not abated to previous levels. At the same time, consumers began hearing dire predictions of skyrocketing natural gas bills for the winter ahead; predictions that unfortunately proved to come true. Many states, including Wisconsin, conducted their own individual inquiries into the enormous jump in gasoline prices and the industry's resulting record profits. At the same time, beginning in the fall of 2005, the offices of the Attorneys General of four Midwestern states, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois and Missouri, launched a joint investigation for the purpose of examining the reasons for the dramatic rise in natural gas prices. Our staff met with invited representatives of utility companies from each state, as well as with natural gas producers, to gather information and obtain frank perspectives about the causes of the projected dramatic price increases. What we found surprised us. Our six-month investigation resulted in two primary conclusions: 1) the upward volatility of natural gas prices over the past several years cannot be simply explained by traditional supply and demand factors, contrary to what is commonly reported; and 2) the financial markets for natural gas are enormously complex, and there is an almost complete lack of transparency in the system. Data collected for our report from both government and industry sources indicate that daily consumption of natural gas today is virtually unchanged from levels of ten years ago, contrary to media reports that routinely refer to "soaring" or "skyrocketing" demand. In addition, on the supply side, the reserve to production ratio has actually gone up the past six years and storage levels this fall and winter were at all-time highs. These facts are best illustrated on the charts attached and identified as Exhibits ES-2 and ES-3, part of a lengthy report detailing the findings of our investigation. Physical market fundamentals - a tight supply/demand balance - are not adequate to explain either the short-term or long-term behavior of natural gas prices. This does not mean that tight markets do not matter - of course they do - but identifying physical market fundamentals is only the beginning of the story, not the end. On the financial side, it is clear that financial markets for natural gas are far less regulated than the markets for many other less-essential commodities, there are few regulations for registration or reporting by brokers and, to make matters worse, information regarding who is holding what positions is almost non-existent or unobtainable. Indices in the natural gas market are based largely on self-reported trades. Indeed, from a law-enforcement perspective, it is almost impossible to ascertain whether any antitrust, consumer or securities laws are being broken, in that we don't have access to the information typically used to conduct those sorts of investigations. We can't answer the most basic questions, such as who bought what, and when? The widespread reliance on natural gas commodity markets to set prices is an extremely recent phenomenon, just over 15 years old. As evidenced by the wild, irrational swings in natural gas prices over the past several years, at a time when supply and demand were relatively stable, these new markets have not worked very well. Many of the industry representatives we spoke with believe these markets lack transparency and are vulnerable to abuse and manipulation. The upward spiral of gas prices has an enormous impact on our economy and on consumers' checkbooks. Consider the following: ? The wellhead price of natural gas in the six-year period of 2000-2005 increased by over $400 billion dollars compared to the previous six years ? Winter heating bills in the Midwest this winter are projected to be up by $250 per household, or 28 percent, compared to last winter, despite a 5 percent decline in consumption and record levels of gas in storage. They are up by over $600 compared to five years ago. ? A $3 per million Btu rise in natural gas prices costs consumers an additional $5 billion per month. ? Natural gas prices climbed to all-time highs last fall and early winter, with spot prices exceeding $15 and wellhead prices exceeding $10 per million Btu for the first time ever. By contrast, gas prices had hovered around $2 to $4 per million Btu for much of the last two decades. This story has a very human side to it as well, as evidenced by stories told to members of our investigatory committee. For example, one Illinois school district spent about $300,000 for heating in 2002. By 2005, it had jumped to $400,000. In fiscal 2006, it's approaching $700,000. That's more than double in four years. A retired factory worker in Chicago barely makes ends meet on $1,100 per month. Last December his gas bill balance was $430--double what it was at the same time last year. In Wisconsin it is estimated that 20,000 more families will be delinquent in their utility payments this winter compared to a year ago, despite extraordinarily mild temperatures during January. Without the assistance of public funds, those families will face service disconnections in the coming months. This committee's examination of consolidation in the energy industries is an important issue that ties directly into the concerns raised in our report. For example, consider that BP, the largest marketer of natural gas, has a market share of over 20 percent. The next three firms have market shares of about ten percent. In other words, four companies (three of which are major oil companies) control about fifty percent of the U.S. natural gas market, and the concentration of ownership continues to increase. Given the low elasticities of supply and demand and the reactions of the market to relatively small changes in the supply/demand balance, the growing consolidation of ownership in the natural gas market by companies that often have arms that engage in extensive trading presents the potential for market manipulation and other abuses. Putting all our eggs in the baskets of a few energy companies does not bode well for American consumers. These price increases are a problem that is both regional and national, but which is not beyond our reach. A cooperative approach to this common problem is the most effective and efficient means to determine what legal strategies to employ or public policy changes to advocate to best address any avoidable financial harm to the citizens of our states. A comprehensive approach must be taken, with the states working with the federal government, including Congress, FERC and the CFTC, to arrive at a global solution that creates a more rational, transparent system of markets for energy commodities. What is clear as we examine this issue, however, is that we must not be satisfied with an explanation that rests solely on traditional notions of supply and demand. Our investigation does not support the commonly repeated mantra that "soaring" demand is driving natural gas prices. Both demand and supply have been relatively flat and steady over the past decade. The price of natural gas, meanwhile, has been all over the place, with peaks and valleys that constantly ratchet upwards. (See Exhibit ES-7, attached.) This pattern does not square with traditional economic analysis of supply and demand. In addition, it appears that a significant contributing factor has been a huge influx of money into largely unregulated financial markets, reinforcing the upward spiral of prices by increasing volatility and risk, and creating uncertainty. A lack of transparency in those speculative markets only makes matters worse. To address this we submit the following initial list of recommendations: ? Increased oversight of the over-the-counter markets is needed, including requirements for registration of traders and reporting of trades; ? Stricter limits on positions held by any one entity and expanded settlement periods for short- and long-term contracts, and restrictions on how much the price of natural gas can move on the markets before trading is temporarily halted for a "cooling off" period; and, ? Formation of a joint federal-state task force to examine critical questions about the supply-side of the physical market and the role of major oil companies, which straddle the physical and financial markets. Thank you for your attention to this issue of critical importance to so many Americans, and thank you for allowing us to share our perspectives with you hear today. We would be happy to answer any questions.

"Many of our members were concerned about radio frequencies or wireless transmission signals and the effect those might have on health," said SMPA General Manager Kevin Ritter, in the aftermath of concerns voiced at recent public meetings. "SMPA has been researching these different technologies for advanced meters for more than two years, and we've chosen a meter that does not utilize radio frequencies or wireless technologies."
The new meters use Two-Way Automatic Communication System, a hard-wired technology utilizing existing power lines to send and receive meter-reading data. The new meters will place data directly onto the existing 60 hertz voltage and current waves. TWACS software and equipment is manufactured by Aclara, a Missouri-based company that has worked with electric utilities across the county, including rural cooperatives, for more than 20 years.
TWACS technology will place naturally encrypted information on SMPA power lines, with members' home meters modulating the electricity sine wave at or near the zero crossing and assigning it either a one or a zero. A member's meter read will simply be a series of ones and zeros, riding the electricity current along with thousands of other ones and zeros from other member meters, that can be deciphered only by TWACS.
Aclara is the sole manufacturer and owner of TWACS technology. Since the meter data will flow on power lines, and not over the air via a wireless signal, it is not susceptible to wireless hacking. To hack into the system, an individual would require both Aclara's proprietary equipment and software and SMPA power line coupling abilities.
SMPA will start installing the new meters later this month, starting with SMPA board members and managers, to ensure all equipment is functioning properly, and then begin a full installation process in the Silverton area, which should be completed by the end of the year. It will take approximately 18 months to complete the entire service territory.
Over the next year-and-a-half, members can expect to see a contractor from HD Supply installing the advanced meters on homes and businesses. Members do not need to be home when their meter is changed, but they will lose power for a few minutes on the day of the new meter's installation.
Members can opt to not receive the new meters, and pay a monthly fee of $25. The fee; will not take effect until the entire project is complete. Members wishing to opt out of an advanced meter will need to sign an opt-out form available from the cooperative.
"We are giving our members a choice, but they have to realize that there is a cost associated with keeping an old meter," said Ritter. "We'll have to send a meter reader out to that meter each month to read it. And that means we're spending money we could have avoided if the member allowed us to install an advanced meter."
In the first year of operations SMPA estimates it will see a savings of more than $30,000 in meter reading costs (the co-op, with a 3,600 square-mile service territory, now conducts more than 13,500 on-site meter readings every month), leading to an annual reduction in its carbon footprint of approximately 64,000 pounds per year, and to cost savings, as well.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Charleston police officers have arrested a man who allegedly said he had a bomb in his shoe at a Kanawha City apartment complex Friday afternoon.
Officers arrested John Workman, 41, of Charleston, on a felony charge of making a bomb threat, said Lt. C.E. Sisson of the Charleston Police Department.
Officers received a call that Workman had threatened the management of Kanawha Village Apartments at 3907 MacCorkle Ave. SW during an altercation at the complex about 12:22 p.m., Sisson said.
"He made some kind of threat that he had a bomb in his shoe," Sisson said.
Workman attempted to leave the facility before officers arrived, Sisson said, but officers detained him as he was leaving.
Officers found no bomb or other weapons on Workman, Sisson said. Workman did live at the apartment complex, he said.
However, the Kanawha County Sheriff's Department bomb squad was called to the scene, Sisson said.

This latest re-imagining of the G.I. Joe franchise keeps the same gang of iconic characters (Duke, Scarlett, Roadblock, Snake Eyes, Lady Jaye, et al.) and the same bunch of baddies: This time, the terrorist organization known as Cobra carries out its evil activities behind the cover of a ``legitimate'' corporation. There's plenty of firepower on display as the fugitive Hasbro heroes try to bring down the villains, while eluding the government agents ordered to capture them.

Paint Shop Pro Tutorial -
Edit an Existing Image to Become Transparent
- Open your existing artwork. Make sure to use a copy of the original file!
- Right click on the background layer in the layer bar. Select "Promote Background Layer".
- Use the Magic Wand tool to remove the white background. Click on the Magic Wand icon in the tools palette.
- In the tool presets bar, set "Mode" to "Replace", set "Match mode" to "RGB Value", set "Feather" to "1″, make sure "Anti-alias" is checked and the drop-down adjacent is set to "Outside". You can experiment with the tolerance setting, but the default of 10 should work for most images with obvious borders between the image and the background.
- Click within the background area to select the background for removal. You should see "marching ants" around your design.
- Hit the "Delete" key on your keyboard to remove the background. You should see a "checkerboard" pattern everywhere except your actual design.
Preview your design on a dark background
- Create a new layer underneath your design by right-clicking on any of the current layer bars and selecting "New Raster Layer"
- The "New Raster Layer" dialog box will appear. Click "OK".
- Click on this new layer bar and drag it below the layer with your design
- Make sure a dark color like Black, Navy Blue, etc. is selected in your foreground color swatch
- Select the "Flood Fill" tool (the icon that looks like a dripping paint bucket)
- Click anywhere in your image to fill the new layer with your dark color. This will give you an idea how your design will look on a dark colored shirt! If you still see a "halo" around your design you might need to manually edit the border of your design or experiment with the tolerance setting in step 3b. Make sure to delete this layer before saving your image.
Make sure you've deleted the black/ dark background layer and then save your file.
- On the Paint Shop Pro toolbar select "File > Save As"
- Under the "Save as type" drop-down menu, select "Portable Network Graphics"
- Click "Save". Now you're ready to upload your PNG file to Printfection. Congratulations!

All Souls College (full name: The Warden and the College of the Souls of all Faithful People deceased in the University of Oxford[1]) is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford in England.
Unique to All Souls, all of its members automatically become Fellows, i.e., full members of the College's governing body. It has no undergraduate members, but each year recent graduates of Oxford and other universities compete in "the hardest exam in the world"[3][4][5] for Examination Fellowships.
It is the third wealthiest college in Oxford, with a financial endowment of £245m (2012).[6] The College's only source of revenue is its endowment and it ranks nineteenth among Oxford colleges with respect to total income.[7]
The college is located on the north side of the High Street and also adjoins Radcliffe Square to the west. To the east is The Queen's College and to the north is Hertford College.
The current Warden is John Vickers, a graduate of Oriel College, Oxford.
The College was founded by Henry VI of England and Henry Chichele (fellow of New College and Archbishop of Canterbury), in 1438. The Statutes provided for the Warden and forty fellows – all to take Holy Orders; twenty-four to study arts, philosophy and theology; and sixteen to study civil or canon law. The College's Codrington Library was built with the bequest of Christopher Codrington, sometime governor of the Leeward Islands. Today the College is primarily an academic research institution.
There are now no undergraduate members, but All Souls did once have them, especially around the early 17th century, introduced by Robert Hovenden (who was Warden of the college from 1571 to 1614) to provide servientes. The college decided to get along without them again, although four Bible Clerks remained on the foundation until 1924.[8] One such was the Rev. Thomas Forster Rolfe (born 1855), an undergraduate at All Souls from 1874–1878. Joseph Keble (1632–1710) was another undergraduate of the college.
Buildings and architecture[edit]
The Codrington Library[edit]
The All Souls library (formally known as the Codrington Library) was founded through a bequest from Christopher Codrington (1668–1710), a Fellow of the College. Christopher Codrington bequeathed books worth £6,000, in addition to £10,000 in currency. This bequest allowed the library to be built and endowed. Christopher Codrington was born in Barbados, and amassed his fortune from plantation slavery.[9] The library was completed in 1751, and has been in continuous use since then. The modern library comprises some 187,000 items, about a third of which were published before 1800. The collections are particularly strong in Law and History (especially Military History).[10]
Built between 1438 and 1442 the chapel remained largely unchanged until the Commonwealth – Oxford having been a Royalist stronghold, suffered a certain amount of the Puritans' wrath. The 42 misericords date from the Chapel's building, and show a family resemblance to the misericords at Higham Ferrers as they were, also, possibly carved by Richard Tyllock.
Christopher Wren was a Fellow from 1653 and in 1658 produced a sundial, which was placed on the South wall of the Chapel, until it was moved to the quadrangle in 1877. During the 1660s a screen was installed, which was based on a design by Wren. However, this screen needed to be rebuilt by 1713. By the mid-19th century, much work was needed and so, today's chapel is heavily influenced by Victorian ideals.
Examination Fellowships[edit]
If intelligence can be measured by exams, the All Souls Fellows by examination are the cleverest people in the country. |
— New Statesman[11] |
It is thought to be the hardest exam in the world. |
— The Guardian[3] |
Around 500 Oxford undergraduates who receive a First, and other Oxford students with equivalent results in their bachelor's degrees[12] during the previous three years, are eligible to apply for Examination Fellowships of seven years each; several dozen typically do so.[4][13] Two examination fellows are usually elected each year, although the college has awarded a single place in previous years, and made no award on rare occasions.[14]
The competition, offered since 1878[15] and open to women since 1979,[4] takes place over two days in late September, with two examinations of three hours each per day:
- Two are on subjects of the candidates' choice. Options include Classics, English Literature, Economics, History, Law, Philosophy, and Politics. Candidates who choose Classics as their subject have a translation examination on a third day.[12]
- Two are on general subjects. For each examination candidates choose from a list three questions,[16] such as;
- "'If a man could say nothing against a character but what he could prove, history could not be written' (Samuel Johnson). Discuss."[11]
- "Should the Orange Prize for Fiction be open to both men and women?"[16]
- "Does the moral character of an orgy change when the participants wear Nazi uniforms?"[15]
Before 2010 candidates also faced another examination, a free-form "Essay" on a single, random word.[3][4][15]
Four to six[13] finalists are invited to the viva voce[14] or oral examination,[12] then dinner with about 75 members of the college.
About one dozen Examination Fellows are at the college at any one time.[4] There are no teaching or research requirements; they can study anything for free at Oxford with room and board.[12] As "Londoners" they can pursue approved non-academic careers[4][12] if desired, as long as they pursue academia on a part-time basis and attend weekend dinners at the college during their first academic year.[13] As of 2011[update] each Examination Fellow receives a stipend of £14,842[17] annually for the first two years; the stipend then varies depending on whether the Fellow pursues an academic career.[12]

Other fellowships[edit]
Other categories of fellowship include Senior Research Fellows, Visiting Fellows, Post-Doctoral Research Fellows, Fifty-Pound Fellows (open only to former Fellows no longer holding posts in Oxford) and Distinguished Fellows. There are also many Professorial Fellows who hold their fellowships by reason of their University post.
Every hundred years, and generally on 14 January, there is a commemorative feast after which the fellows parade around the College with flaming torches, singing the Mallard Song and led by a "Lord Mallard" who is carried in a chair, in search of a legendary mallard that supposedly flew out of the foundations of the college when it was being built.[27] During the hunt the Lord Mallard is preceded by a man bearing a pole to which a mallard is tied – originally a live bird, latterly either dead (1901) or carved from wood (2001). The last mallard ceremony was in 2001[28] and the next will be held in 2101. The precise origin of the custom is not known but it dates from at least 1632.[29]

30 January 2013
PARIS - In his first official visit as Executive Director of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, Mark Dybul met today with Pascal Canfin, France's Deputy Foreign Minister for Development, and other French officials.
Dr. Dybul signaled his commitment to the strong partnership with France, and explained aspects of the Global Fund's new funding model, which will begin this year and is geared toward making Global Fund grants more effective
"France had to be my first visit," said Dr. Dybul, who became Executive Director on 21 January. "France originated the idea of a global fund for AIDS, was intimately involved in the creation of the Global Fund and has been deeply involved in its evolution every step of the way, both intellectually and financially. France has been a tremendous leader."
Minister Canfin reaffirmed France's strong support for the Global Fund
"France pays special attention to the choices which will be made to ensure access to the prevention and the treatment of all concerned populations, especially populations which can be stigmatized or excluded," said Minister Canfin.
Dr. Dybul and Minister Canfin also discussed the mechanism of technical assistance to Francophone countries that was launched in 2012, as well as preparations for a funding conference to be held in late 2013.
In addition to the issues of the coming year, Dr. Dybul took time to express gratitude and deep respect for France's leadership in supporting programs that allow health workers and community workers to treat and prevent AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, saving and improving the lives of millions of people around the world.
"We look forward to our continued partnership with France - because France is the Global Fund," said Dr. Dybul.
He noted that Europe is the leading contributor to the Global Fund, and France is Europe's leading contributor, having given EUR 2.5 billion since 2002.
"France has innovated important global mechanisms to ensure sustainable financing for global health and development, most recently the financial transaction tax," Dr. Dybul said.
"France currently provides key technical support to countries to ensure maximum impact and value for money and your world-renowned research institutions have provided many of the scientific advances - including the discovery of HIV - that has paved the way to an historic moment that now allows us to say that we can defeat three major killer epidemics - AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria."
During his visit, Dr. Dybul also had a series of meetings with French civil society representatives.

Dr. William Abb "Billy" Cannon (born August 2, 1937) is an All-American, 1959 Heisman Trophy winner and 2008 inductee into the College Football Hall of Fame from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, and one of the American Football League's most celebrated players.
He was born in Philadelphia, Mississippi, and moved to Baton Rouge when his father got a job there during World War II. He graduated from Istrouma High School in 1956.[1]
High school[edit]
Billy Cannon started high school at Istrouma in Baton Rouge, in 1952. He was noted for his speed and strength, and became a star athlete in football and track. In football, he scored 39 touchdowns his senior year, was named All-State and All-America and led his high school to a state championship in 1955. He would later run the 100 yard dash in 9.4 seconds, and the 40 yard dash in 4.12 seconds. He put a 16-pound shot 54 feet.[2]
Cannon played three seasons for LSU: 1957, 1958, and 1959. In 1958, Cannon led LSU to its first AP national championship. #1 LSU clinched the title in the Sugar Bowl, beating #12 Clemson 7-0. The only score was a pass from Cannon to Mickey Mangham. Cannon was also voted the 1958 UPI Player of the Year. On Halloween night 1959, Cannon led #1 LSU to a victory over #3 Ole Miss in Tiger Stadium. The Tigers were trailing 3-0 when Cannon returned a punt 89 yards for a TD, breaking seven tackles and running the last 60 yards untouched. It was the only TD of the game, resulting in a 7–3 victory. That year, Cannon won the Heisman Trophy and was again voted the UPI Player of the Year. Other big games from Cannon's time at LSU were unranked LSU's 20–13 victory over #17 Georgia Tech in 1957, #1 LSU's 14–0 victory over #6 Ole Miss in 1958, and #1 LSU's 10-0 victory over #9 TCU in 1959.
The No. 20 jersey worn by Cannon was retired after the 1959 season. It was the only football number retired by LSU until 2009, when Tommy Casanova received this honor.
Cannon had been originally elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1983, but the Hall rescinded the honor before his induction due to his confessed involvement in a counterfeiting scheme (for more information on the scheme, see below).[3] The Hall elected him a second time in 2008,[4] and he was formally inducted during a ceremony on December 9 of that year.
Billy Cannon HB, LSU Retired Number 20 |
Cannon had an uncommon combination of brute strength with the speed of a sprinter. A track and field coach is reported to have remarked during his college career that he could have lost 15 pounds and won the NCAA title in the 100 meter dash, or gained 15 pounds and won the NCAA title in the shotput. In 1960, his signing by the Houston Oilers followed a fierce bidding war that began when Oilers owner Bud Adams met Cannon in the end zone following LSU's Sugar Bowl victory, and ended in court, with the AFL winning against the NFL. That put the fledgling league on the football map. Cannon, at halfback, scored an 88-yard touchdown on a pass from George Blanda in the first AFL Championship game, a 24-16 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. He scored the only touchdown in the Oilers' repeat victory over the San Diego Chargers in the second-ever AFL Championship game.
Cannon amassed 2,043 all-purpose yards in 1961, and led the league in rushing. He played for the Oilers from 1960 through 1963 and went to the Oakland Raiders in 1964. Al Davis converted him to tight end during the 1964 season, and he finished his career as one of the best players of all time at that position. Cannon was All-League in 1961 and played in the AFL All-Star Game as a halfback in 1961. He was an AFL All-League selection at tight end in 1967, when he scored 10 receiving touchdowns. He played tight end in the in 1969 AFL All-Star Game. He accounted for a total of 64 touchdowns in his career, 47 of them receiving. For his career, he amassed 3,656 yards receiving, 2,455 yards rushing, and 1,882 return yards for a combined total of 8,003 yards and 63 touchdowns. He also passed for 46 yards and one touchdown. He played in a total of six AFL Championship games, winning twice with the Oilers and once with the Raiders.
Billy Cannon is one of 20 players who played the entire ten years of the American Football League's existence. He is also one of 14 players to score 5+ touchdowns in one game, and also holds the Oilers/Titans franchise record for most points (30) and most touchdowns (5) in a single game.
Later life[edit]
Cannon became an orthodontist after his pro football career, earning a D.D.S. at the University of Tennessee and additional degrees in orthodontia from Loyola University Chicago.[5] Despite a successful practice, by 1983 he was in financial difficulties from bad real estate investments and gambling debts. He became involved in a counterfeiting scheme and served 2½ years of a five-year sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution, Texarkana.[6] He printed $50 million in U.S. 100-dollar bills that he stored in ice chests, buried in the backyard of one of the houses he owned and rented out. Upon his release in 1986, he regained his license, but struggled to rebuild his practice.[3]
In 1990, Cannon was an honorary pallbearer at the funeral of former Teamsters Union business agent Edward Grady Partin, whose testimony in 1964 had sent Jimmy Hoffa to prison for jury tampering.[7]
In 1995, he was hired as a dentist at the Louisiana State Penitentiary, initially as a contractor. At the time, the dental clinic in the prison was in chaos, with many dentists refusing to work and inmates often being unable to make appointments. Cannon immediately set to reorganizing the dental program with great success and was soon hired as a full-time employee. The warden, impressed with Cannon's work with the dental program, later put him in charge of the prison's entire medical system. Cannon remains the resident dentist at the penitentiary, where inmates typically call him "Legend".[3]
Cannon's son, Billy Cannon, Jr., played linebacker for Texas A&M University and was selected in the first round of the NFL draft in 1984, by the Dallas Cowboys.
Cannon resides in St. Francisville, Louisiana. On February 19, 2013, Cannon was hospitalized in intensive care in Baton Rouge after suffering a stroke. His family reported that he was alert and resting and that further tests would be conducted to determine the extent of his ailment.[8]
