Ellie Goulding Aches For Downtime: ‘I Need To Sort My Life Out’
Posted: at 5:49 pm
"I need to sort my life out,"says Ellie Goulding with a sigh, fiddling with her bright blonde hair as she talks. "And if I don't do it soon, I may as well just be forever on the road, because that's what it feels like."
Curled up in the corner of a black leather couch in her modest dressing room backstage at a Washington, D.C., venue, Goulding describes her next six months as if she's been asked to run endless wind sprints. (Although, as it turns out, that might make this fitness addict happier.) This is what you dream of when you imagine being a pop star: hit singles, a world tour, award show performances, screaming fans.
But the reality is not exactly a dream. It's work, and a long string of empty dressing rooms like this one that tend to look the same whether you're in North America, where Goulding will be until May, or Australia, New Zealand and Asia, where she'll travel to immediately after. Some stars favor drink or drugs to combat the boredom. Goulding, a self-professed "shy geek," brings books. (Latest faves: Laurent Binet's historical fiction novel"HHhH"and Eckhart Tolle's self-help best-seller"A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose.")
'Divergent' Soundtrack: Ellie Goulding Adds Three Songs as Young-Adult Music Shifts
She runs her fingers through her hair again, and the silver sparkles on her gold nail polish catch the light. It's a mixture of awkwardness and disco glamour that pretty much define the 27-year-old U.K. singer. "As much as I love what I do, and music is obviously everything to me, I'm being pulled home, and I've got to do that soon, I think," she says. But in the United States, Goulding's career has been building slowly to this point, and it's too late to stop now. A little less than three years after she performed a selection of understated songs at the April 29, 2011 wedding reception of Prince William and Kate Middleton, Goulding has transitioned from an acoustic-leaning pop songwriter to an electro-dance siren.
Her debut album,"Lights," was released stateside throughCherrytree/Interscope in March 2011, a year after its U.K. bow. It took more than another year to connect, when the sixth single the ethereal title track became a surprise summer hit, peaking at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in its 33rd week on the chart in August 2012. That was just two months before the release of her second album,"Halcyon," which has spawned a growing collection of radio hits, as well as tour after tour and music video after music video, each one designed to feed the other.
Go Backstage With Ellie on Her 2013 Tour
Onstage, Goulding displays the same mix of goofy and glam that she does in conversation. Her dazzling live show is dominated by uptempo dance tracks. She speaks to the audience in a warm, upbeat tone, and she's visually magnetic, constantly in motion. Some moments she gyrates with sexual abandon, while in others she busts out a running man. Goulding says that she gets lost in her dancing, which is equal parts geeky and joyful. "When I'm onstage, I'm like a monster," she says with a laugh.
To stay in shape for the stage, Goulding exercises religiously. (In 2011, she teamed up with Nike for a short film about training for a half marathon "I'm a runner. I've got no choice but to keep running, and I can't stop," she says in the movie, which sounds oddly like her current tour schedule.) At home she does boxing and gymnastics, along with running. But on tour she uses the"Insanity"video, sometimes in a hotel room (if it's big enough to run drills in she describes it as "boot camp kind of stuff, with lots of squatting"), or at a venue if she's working out with other tour members. "I feel like people associate keeping fit with something negative, but with these fun gyms, you don't even realize that you're working out," says Goulding, mentioning a free-running parkour gym she likes in Los Angeles.

Kyoto Prize Symposium comes to SDSU
Posted: at 5:49 pm
San Diegos 13th annual Kyoto Prize Symposium was held on March 18 at the Conrad Prebys Aztec Student Union to honor Robert Heath Dennard who invented Dynamic Random Access Memory and proposed scaling theory guidelines.
DRAM operates the memory in digital equipment, storing data and programs. Its found in laptops, cell phones, digital cameras, game systems and other electronic devices. The scaling theory allowed Dennard to miniaturize transistors that allows for devices to be smaller, denser, faster and less expensive.
The event is part of a three-day celebration hosted by San Diego State, along with University of California, San Diego, University of San Diego and Point Loma Nazarene University.
The Kyoto Prize is an international award that honors significant contributions to the scientific, cultural and spiritual betterment of humanity. It was created in 1984 by the nonprofit Inamori Foundation and is the highest private award for global achievement from Japan.
Three recipients are awarded the Kyoto Prize each year in the fields of advanced technology, basic sciences and arts and philosophy. Dennard is the Kyoto Prize laureate in advanced technology.
At the symposium, SDSUs Vice President for Research and Dean of Graduate and Research Affairs Stephen Welter introduced a pivotal moment in Dennards life when he was inspired to create DRAM.
What Im hoping for is theres someone else in this room who, like he was being inspired, will also be inspired, Welter said. In essence what is happening is hes paying forward the inspiration to you that he received from somebody else.
Welter then introduced Dennard, who presented a speech titled Reflections on Creativity in My Microelectronics Career in three parts.
He began with his background, growing up on a farm during the Great Depression and led into his education at Southern Methodist University and Carnegie Institute of Technology. His professional career began at International Business Machines, where he created DRAM.

Andrews, Edna: "Neuroscience and Multilingualism" (Cambridge University Press)
Researchers estimate that half of all humans speak at least two languages, making multilingualism common. Andrews, recipient of the 2013 University Scholar/Teacher Award, offers a new model for analyzing multilingualism. This first book-length study of how two or more languages are represented in the human brain is the culmination of the past 10 years of her research.
