The 2006 Oklahoma gubernatorial election was held on November 7, 2006. Incumbent Democratic Governor Brad Henry won re-election to a second term in a landslide, defeating Republican U.S. Representative Ernest Istook. Henry took 66.5% of the vote to Istook's 33.5% and swept all but three counties in the state.

, this remains the last time that a Democrat has been elected Governor of Oklahoma, or, along with the concurrent elections, won any statewide office. The GOP would make enormous gains at the state level just four years later, flipping every single statewide executive office from the Democrats, and gaining unified control of state government for the first time in history.

Background
Though Democrats had dominated state politics for most of Oklahoma's history, the Oklahoma Republican Party had recently gained control of the Oklahoma House of Representatives and held five of the state's six Congressional seats. Henry's opponent, Republican Ernest Istook, was a member of the United States House of Representatives, representing Oklahoma's 5th congressional district.

As in many Southern states, Oklahoma has favored conservative Democrats to the more liberal members of the party. In his first term, Henry had supported some tax cuts and took centrist positions on many political hot button issues.

Campaign
Istook's strongest opponent in the primary was Bob Sullivan, who positioned himself as the only "non-career politician" in the race. He ran ads featuring Gailard Sartain that attacked his opponents' "career politician" background. The Sartain ads were seen as over the top and may have hurt his chances. Sullivan said education was a top priority and had led an effort to place an initiative petition on the November 2006 ballot that would have required 65 percent of money earmarked for education be spent in the classroom.

Results

General election
The incumbent Democratic Governor Brad Henry won the election with more than 66 percent of the vote, beating Republican U.S. Representative Ernest Istook.

"One" is the second international single (and lead single in the U.S.) from the Bee Gees' album, One. This was the song that returned the Bee Gees to American radio and would turn out to be their biggest US hit in the 1980s, and their last hit single to reach the US top ten. It was their first Top 10 hit since "Love You Inside Out" was #1 in June 1979. It peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in September 1989, and it stayed in the Top 40 for ten weeks. It also topped the American adult contemporary chart that same month, remaining at number one for two weeks.

The track reached No. 71 in the UK Singles Chart.

Narjot (or Narjod) de Toucy (died 1293) was the son of Philip of Toucy and of Portia de Roye. Narjot was therefore the grandson of his namesake who died in 1241.

Narjot de Toucy was Lord of Laterza, Captain-General of the Kingdom of Albania, Admiral of the Angevin Kingdom of Sicily in 1277, and bailli of the Principality of Achaea in 1282. On 23 June 1287 he helped command an Angevin galley fleet which was defeated by a fleet commanded by Roger of Lauria in the Battle of the Counts.

In c. 1275 or 1278 he married Lucia I, titular princess of Antioch, who was to become Countess of Tripoli in 1288, later titular. They had one son, Philippe II de Toucy, who inherited the lordship of Laterza on Narjot's death in 1293 and the claim to Antioch on Lucia's death.

To the Light is an album by Irish folk singer Johnny Duhan.

To the Light charts Duhan's years on the road with bands in the sixties and seventies, tilting for fame and the girl. Its tone and rhythm come from the radios, jukeboxes, cafes, bars, dance-halls and nightclubs of the time it sings of. It is not a success story; numerous failures and heartaches are encountered on the road. One of a score of managers who quit working with Duhan out of a sense of frustration (Terry O’Neill) told Duhan that he was the only person he'd encountered in a long career in the music business with “a will to fail”. Duhan doesn't believe that this is quite true, but his uncompromising attitude to his work down the years has no doubt contributed to keeping marketplace success from his door. Though Duhan never quite makes “the big time” he eventually finds the girl and experience a moment of transcendence - illustrated in the song "To the Light" - that convinces him of the truth of a newspaper quotation that he once jotted into his song journal: “We Irish are suspicious of success knowing that there is a lot more of the infinite in its opposite.”

A.V. Undercover was an American live music web series created by The A.V. Club, distributed on their website. The series premiered on March 16, 2010, ending after the 8th season in 2017.

The concept of the show is that each season, a list of 25 songs is compiled. Bands are then invited to choose a song to cover. Once a song has been played, it gets crossed off the list. The later a band comes on, the fewer songs they have to choose from. The first season, The A.V. Club staff picked the songs. The remaining seasons, readers of The A.V. Club voted for them. At the end of a season, there was an online vote for the favorite video.

In between season, there were mini seasons of Holiday Undercover (where each artist chose a song with a holiday theme) and Summer Break, where artists covered "songs having to do with summer".

In 2010, NPR selected "Wye Oak Covers The Kinks" as one of "Five Great Cover Songs From 2010 (So Far)". It was a 2011 Honoree for a Webby.

All episodes have since been deleted from YouTube.

The song that plays during the introduction is "Someone Has to Die" by Maritime.

Barringtonia acutangula is a species of Barringtonia native to coastal wetlands in southern Asia and northern Australasia, from Afghanistan east to the Philippines,  Queensland and the Northern Territory. Common names include freshwater mangrove, itchytree and mango-pine.

Description
This plant is a big tree that grows to about 8–15 m high. Its leaves are thick, smooth and oval in shape, about 8–12 cm long and 4–5 cm wide, with reddish petioles about 0.5–1.0 cm long. The plant has drooping raceme of up to 50 cm long, with numerous large, white flowers. Its fruit is oval-shaped and about 3 cm long, with 1 seed inside.

Uses

Food
The young leaves of this plant are consumed as food, such as in Vietnam where they are eaten fresh with other vegetables, meat and shrimp.

Medicinal
Research on this plant has reported a number of medicinal uses, including antitumor (seed extract), antibiotic, inhibition of growth of Helicobacter pylori, antinociceptive activity and antifungal activity.

The 1889 book 'The Useful Native Plants of Australia’ records that "In India an extract or juice is obtained from the leaves of this tree which, when mixed with oil, is used in native [sic.] practice for eruptions of the skin. The kernels powdered and prepared with sago and butter, are used in diarrhoea; mixed with milk they produce vomiting (Treasury of Botany). The root is bitter, and is said to be similar to Cinchona, but also cooling and aperient. (Drury)."

Chemistry
Its bark contains potent painkillers, structurally unrelated to known opioid painkillers 

Also 3,3'-dimethoxy ellagic acid, dihydromyricetin, gallic acid, bartogenic acid and stigmasterol, triterpenoids, olean-18-en-3beta-O-E-coumaroyl ester and olean-18-en-3beta-O-Z-coumaroyl ester  12, 20(29)-lupadien-3-o

Susan DuVerger or Susan Du Verger born Suzanne de La Vallée (baptised in 1610 – 1657) was an English translator and author.

Life
DuVerger was born in London and baptised in 1610. The baptismal records record that her parents were Charles and Ester de La Vallée and she was the last of their five children. The baptism took place at the French Huguenot church in Threadneedle Street. The Huguenots had arrived after 1598 and this church was one of their refuges. That church was destroyed in the Great Fire of London. The next record shows that by 1633 Suzanne de La Vallée was married to Jean-Jacques DuVerger as they had a daughter Françoise about this time; by 1635 she was joined by another daughter, Suzanne.

She would appear to be a Protestant, but in 1639 she was translating the works of the French writer and bishop Jean-Pierre Camus. Camus was a Catholic at a time when England was divided over this Christian sectarianism. The 1639 work was his romantic stories titled "Admirable Events" and she dedicated her translation to Henrietta Maria, Charles I of England's French Catholic wife. She translated another work by Camus titled "Diotrèphe" in 1641.

In 1657 DuVerger published the lengthily titled "Humble Reflections Upon some Passages of the right Honorable the Lady Marchionesse of Newcastles Olio. Or An Appeale from her mes-informed, to her owne better informed judgement". "Humble Reflections" was written in reply to "The World's Olio" which had been published by the noted and productive writer Margaret Cavendish, Duchess of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Jane Collins in the ODNB calls DuVerger's work as "fascinating" and very unusual as it demonstrates an intellectual debate about religion between two women in the seventeenth century.

In 1659 her daughters were getting married in Canada. When they registered their marriages they named their mother as deceased.
