Spring Starr Pillow works behind a purple door. She grew up a town less than a square mile wide and is married to a prince.
These are fitting attributes for someone who spends her days bringing "once upon a time" to area school children.
* "I love my job. It's a wonderful fit," said Pillow, whose name reflects her Native American heritage. "I am part Sioux," she said, "on my father's side."
* "My father was in the Air Force and put together all of the Air Force traveling and variety shows. He actually had the chance to sing back up with Harry Belafonte."
* In 2002, Pillow played Mama Rabbit in "Peter Rabbit" at CT. The straw hat she wore, with its garnish of veggies and fuzzy orange and black ears, stands above her desk behind the purple door in the CT offices on Florence Ave in Walnut Hills.
* "I love teaching the kids drama and voice and things, I absolutely love it. That's probably my favorite part of my job ..."

WATER-BASED PILLOW MAY REDUCE NECK PAIN
Like water beds designed to better support the whole body, a water-based pillow may help people with chronic neck pain to sleep better and lessen their discomfort, a Johns Hopkins study shows.
In the five-week study, 41 people with benign neck pain slept with their usual down or foam pillow for one week, a roll pillow for two weeks and a water-based pillow (Mediflow Waterbase pillow) for two weeks.
Results ... show the water-based pillow significantly improved quality of sleep and modestly reduced morning pain intensity and overall pain compared with the other pillow types. It did not significantly affect evening pain intensity, duration of sleep or the underlying medical problem. Twenty-two participants were satisfied with the water-based pillow, while seven were satisfied with the roll pillow and four with the standard pillow.
The water-based pillow may lessen neck pain and associated headaches and improve sleep and stress-coping skills by better supporting neck muscles and structures damaged by injury or disease. The improved support may result from the pillow reducing head movement during sleep, conforming to changing positions of the head and neck, and absorbing and redistributing the weight of the head and neck, he adds. The water-based pillow contains a pouch of water, adjustable for firmness, on the bottom under four inches of soft polyester fiber, and should be used on a flat bed.
The study participants included 20 men and 21 women, age 26 to 76, who had intermittent or constant neck pain from one month to 25 years, with 78 percent reporting pain for at least one year. Many had sought medical care, chiropractic treatment or physical therapy and were taking medication because the pain interfered with their normal sleep, activities or work.
The incidence of benign neck pain increases with age and is reported more frequently by women. It may radiate into the arms and often is accompanied by morning headaches. Cervical pain may be caused by muscle trauma or disease in the discs and joints. It can be worsened by emotional stress, sleep problems, physical activity and cold.

Robotic Pillow for Grandparents
Robotics researchers at Carnegie Mellon have designed a pillow that uses sensing and wireless phone technology to provide a physical touch, and thus better social and emotional support, for distant family members.
The Hug is shaped like a person about to give a hug, with two arms reaching up and out from a small torso.
To send a hug, the grandchild would squeeze the left paw and speak her grandfather's name into a microphone in the top of the torso. Voice recognition software identifies the name and matches it to a phone number corresponding to the other Hug. The grandfather's pillow lights up and plays sounds. To accept the hug, he squeezes the left paw and says hello.
When the girl squeezes or pats the device, sensors convert those motions into a data stream that is converted on the other Hug into vibrations. Thermal fibers around the Hug's belly radiate heat that increases with time.
If someone is not home to receive a hug, the other person can leave a message that includes voice and vibration patterns.
No hope that the Hug will be mass produced in the near future. "It would need to go through product development, where people may want to change its appearance and make it more adaptable to different-sized people," said Francine Gemperle, a researcher who worked on the project. "I certainly hope that someone picks it up and does something with it."
