Univision (Spanish pronunciation: [uniβiˈsjon]) is a Spanish-language television network in the United States. It has the largest audience of Spanish-language television viewers according to Nielsen ratings. Randy Falco, (CEO as of June 29, 2011) COO, has been in charge of the company since the departure of Univision Communications president and CEO Joe Uva in April 2010. In recent years the network has reached parity with the U.S.'s five major English-language television networks, and is often a strong fifth, outranking The CW, with some fourth-place weekly placings, and as of 2012, even first place rankings for individual programs over all five English networks due to the network's consistent schedule of new telenovelas all 52 weeks of the year.
Univision is headquartered in New York, and has its major studios, production facilities, and operations in Doral, Florida, a suburb of Miami. In 2009, another television studio was announced, Univision Studios, to be built in Doral. Univision is available on cable and satellite in most of the country, with local stations in over 50 markets with large Hispanic and Latino populations and a national cable network feed distributed in markets without either the availability or the demand for a locally-based station. Most of these stations air full local news and other local programming in addition to network shows, and in major markets such as Los Angeles, New York, and Miami, Univision owned-and-operated station (O&O) newscasts are equally competitive with their English-language counterparts ratings-wise.
Rafael Vicente Correa Delgado (6 April 1963) is the President of the Republic of Ecuador and was the president pro tempore of the Union of South American Nations. An economist educated in Ecuador, Belgium and the United States, he was elected President in late 2006 and took office in January 2007. In December 2008, he declared Ecuador's national debt illegitimate, based on the argument that it was odious debt contracted by corrupt and despotic prior regimes. He then pledged to fight creditors in international courts, and succeeded in reducing the price of the debt letters and continued paying all the debt. He brought Ecuador into the Bolivarian Alliance for the Americas in June 2009. To date, Correa’s administration has succeeded in reducing the high levels of poverty, indigence, and unemployment in Ecuador.
Correa's first term in office had been due to end on 15 January 2011, but the new approved constitution written by the new National Assembly mandated general elections for 26 April 2009. In that election, Rafael Correa won in the first round with 51.9% of votes counted. It was the first time since 1979 in which a representative was elected without having to face a second round. Consequently, Correa began a new term in office due to end on 10 August 2013, which could be extended by reelection until 2017.

He also acted on stage and on TV in Mexico, becoming a modest star in the country. In 1994 he starred on the American TV soap opera General Hospital, playing a Puerto Rican singer. In 1999, after several albums in Spanish, he released his first English-language album (also titled Ricky Martin), which included "Livin' la Vida Loca". The album sold 22 million copies and brought Martin international fame. His other studio albums include: Me Amarás (1993), A Medio Vivir (1995), Vuelve (1998), Sound Loaded (2000), Almas del Silencio (2003), Life (2005), and Música + Alma + Sexo (2011).
Mónica Spear Mootz (born October 1, 1984 in Maracaibo, Zulia State, Venezuela) is a former beauty pageant titleholder who won Miss Venezuela 2004 and an actress.
Despite being considered a dark horse during the Miss Venezuela 2004 pageant, Spear went on to win the national crown and represent Venezuela at Miss Universe 2005. She made the top 15 after Ana Karina Áñez (Miss Venezuela 2003) failed to make the top 15 in Miss Universe 2004 (the first time in 22 years for a Venezuelan in Quito, Ecuador. She went on to place in the top five after the evening gown and swimsuit competitions. During the interview or Final Question round, Spear failed to answer the question given by Miss Mexico, Laura Elizondo, and therefore was named only 4th runner-up.
Prior to being named the "fifth most beautiful woman in the universe," Spear completed a bachelor's degree in theater from the University of Central Florida before returning to Venezuela to compete in the national pageant. Her participation in Miss Venezuela also became notorious when she was asked during the traditional "breakfast with press" the day after the pageant, because of her degree, which Venezuelan playwright she liked the most, to which she answered, "Gabriel García Márquez", a Colombian writer. She crowned her Miss Venezuela successor, Jictzad Viña, on September 15, 2005.
I've been burning these same boards
Getting bored and restless, I've got itchy feet
I'm gonna hit the dance floor
Gonna pave the way for a new and better me than I was today
Gonna laugh in face of death, jump off a cliff like a fool
Too busy staring at the sun but it's fun
To be someone else for a change of heart
Of mind of body and soul in time to the pulse of your blood
And breath in the neck of the world
And all that mother nature can hold and give and love and feel
Don't you get my drift? Did you get the pack
Did you get the set? Did you get the joke
Did you get the outcome?
My stuff's bigger than your stuff
Sit back down try get your head together
Optimist, did you read that eye towers seizing every second
More so every second burning bright lighting the road ahead
Stepping down the path of many feared
A tread beam lead by the higher mind who will find
That sometimes its best to leave the past behind
Why cry at the moon for what was lost
Too soon the things you didn't do all the forgotten tunes
You gotta remember that everything you own ain't everything you are
This is the third trip in the back of your car
Filled with memories flashing by like liquid sky
Like electric stars that define everything that we are
I'm getting hypnotized I've come too far
I was trying too hard now everything keeps shifting in and out of time
Let's venture forth into the unknown
Heads bursting with light blazing through
The uncharted streets write our names
Fifty feet high in the minds of all the people we meet
Draw a halo around your head where God looks down
And blesses the genetics of red roof tiles, golden gates
Emerald isles and the lands where the sun is slowly rising
Let's dance tonight beneath the Milky Way
Some won't make it back but that's okay
This is a moment that can't be missed so it's worth the risk
Touching the bullets of a silicone century
Nothing now can sully the sound of a drummers beating
The humidity from the sky for the love
For the beat of the rush of future is ours
It's coming the future is bright
The secrets that we keep
send our children fast asleep
keep your head lights nice and low
it's a subtle tempting show
through the windsweep we can see
a cinematic legacy
leaving cities paved with gold
to pilot frigates through our souls
Up the hill to sow some seed
nostalgia's warmth is all we need
past dissapointments turn to steam
we're superheros, in our dreams
throw the radio up high
watch it drown out half the sky
synaesthesia coloured blue
aquaman knows what to do
Days seem shorter than they are
finished counting all the stars
feel the gears wind down again
another paycheck to cash in
may the lord of flesh and bone
leave you some to call your own
as we slowly feel our way
Your honey smell makes me sick
Your lies are spreading so thick
Pins in your photos I stick
Your lovers all gather 'round
They laugh and cheer at your sound
I'm all but lost in the crowd
You don't need me to survive
Too busy ruling your hide
You barely know I'm alive
You're a stranger when we kiss
And if I cease to exist
Just cross me off your list
Just one sip of your behavior
And my senses tell me danger
Just one sip of your behavior
And my senses tell me
I'm getting sick of your shit
You don't need me to survive
Too busy ruling your hide
You barely know I'm alive
You're a stranger when we kiss
And if I cease to exist
Just cross me off your list
Your lovers all gather 'round
They laugh and cheer at your sound
I'm all but lost in the crowd
Your honey smell makes me sick
Your lies are spreading so thick
I'm getting sick of your shit
Just one sip of your behavior
And my senses tell me danger
Just one sip of your behavior
And my senses tell me danger
Just one sip of your behavior
And my senses tell me danger
Just one sip of your behavior
And my senses tell me danger
Just one sip of your behavior
And my senses tell me danger
Just one sip of your behavior
And my senses tell me
I'm getting sick of your shit
And my senses tell me
And my senses tell me
And my senses tell me
The days will crash by and they'll trample your roses
But the path where you walked will soon blossom again
On the day when we find we've become our own jailers
And we reach for the key that has always been sleeping
within
So tomorrow's child, come and tell me you've never seen
this before
Tomorrow's child, come and show me how I could be
So much more
Than what I am now
I don't wanna belong in this landscape of fences
In this world that's rejected the gifts that the future
can bring
A world where wings are clipped by the language on
billboards
And car alarms teach all the newborn birds to sing
So tomorrow's child, come and tell me you've never seen
this before
Tomorrow's child, come and show me how this could be more
And I will take off my skin and go flying
But I'm afraid if I fall I could fall
So give me the courage to be an invisible
Kick me, shape me, save me
Switch
Kick me, shape me, save me
Switch the dial, climb inside
Grab my head and push on by
Time after time
You force me blind
To solve the crimes
I've lost within me
Filling up
The kid inside
But I'm worlds behind
The tracks of the careless kind
Kick me, shape me, save me
I got a need, for something new
I got a need, that says it's you
I got a hunger, or has a hunger got me?
I get crazy, when I like what i see
I got your name, I like how it sounds
I get restless, 'till you come around
I get going, will I ever stop?
I get down and you come and fire me up
And I know what I feel should be natural
And I know what I feel should be natural
You're getting happy, from the look on your face
You got honey, and I love the taste
You got a secret, but you're not telling me
You got everything, where it's meant to be
You got my keys, for when the nights are long
And you got me, that was your plan all along
You get me going, and I will never stop
You get me down and I come and fire you up
And I know what I feel should be natural
And I know what I feel should be natural
And I know what I feel should be natural
And I know what I feel should be natural
And I know what I feel should be natural
And I know what I feel should be natural
And I know what I feel should be natural
And I know what I feel should be natural
And I know what I feel should be natural
And I know what I feel should be natural
And I know what I feel should be natural
Speak your mind and tell me something
Tell me something I can't remember
Speak your mind and tell me something
Are we meant to be together?
Speak your mind and speak it clearly
Speak it truthfully or speak it never
Speak it honestly and gently
Are we meant to be together?
You keep on asking me this question
Everyday now, for what seems forever
You keep on asking me this question
Are we meant to be together?
I'll speak my mind when I am ready
When I'm willing and when I'm able
When I've had the time to think
chorus
