Press release date: February 19, 2013
Focus on new consumer wellness products for OTC sales
NEW YORK - SPO Medical Inc., a leading developer of biosensor and microprocessor technologies for use in portable monitoring devices, announced today that it has partnered with HoMedics LLC for the distribution of a private-labeled, over-the-counter (OTC) pulse oximeter for non-medical consumer wellness applications. This new product, known as the HoMedics Deluxe Pulse Oximeter is currently being promoted and sold in North America.
The oximeter is based on patented Optimetrixâ„¢ technology which uses proprietary optical techniques to measure certain vital sign measurements for a variety of consumer wellness applications. In the United States, the Deluxe Pulse Oximeter was launched during 4th quarter 2012 at CVS stores, and HoMedics sees substantial upside potential to expand in the drug channel and beyond during 2013. Furthermore, HoMedics will look to increase distribution worldwide via its extensive network in over 60 countries.
Michael Braunold, Chief Executive Officer of SPO commented: "We've been working with HoMedics since early summer 2012 and have made tremendous progress together, with the successful introduction of the HoMedics Deluxe Pulse Oximeter to US consumers. As market awareness for wellness products strengthens and grows, our partnership with the oximeter and future products under development creates promising opportunities for both companies.
Our decision to distribute under the HoMedics private-label has afforded us access to mass-market retailers worldwide and we plan on expanding our product portfolio to further leverage on our joint-success to date".
SPO views the general wellness product category as a major growth opportunity by leveraging its technology to monitor information related to general leisure/sport activities. Product opportunities currently under development include a fitness watch which negates the need for the traditional chest-strap currently being used by most sports watch manufacturers, and a new consumer wellness time-piece designed to measure overall daily activity level, especially useful for overweight or obese adults and children. This product will include unique innovative features as well as being a fashionable time-piece to continuously measure the number of daily activities and calories burned against a recommended goal.

Poll: 7 in 10 back Florida medical-marijuana plan
Poll: 7 in 10 back Florida medical-marijuana plan

As many as seven in 10 Florida voters support a state constitutional amendment legalizing medical marijuana — more than enough to ensure passage and possibly affect the governor's race — according to a new poll from a group trying to put the measure on the 2014 ballot.
Medical pot's sky-high approval cuts across party and demographic lines, with Republican support the lowest at a still-strong 56 percent, the poll conducted for People United for Medical Marijuana shows.
The outsized support of Democrats and independents brings overall backing of the amendment to 70 percent, with only 24 percent opposed, according to the poll obtained by the Miami Herald.

Amendment 2 fate lies with black voter turnout Gary Johnson backs ballot drive to legalize marijuana as medicine Hours after redistricting amendments pass, lawsuit targets one Gov. Rick Scott stalls new voter-approved redistricting standards Poll shows voters favor gulf oil drilling
Regionally, voters from the Miami and Orlando areas want medical marijuana the most.
Non-Hispanic white women, blacks and Hispanics — all Democratic leaning — are the most likely to back the measure and could be more likely to turn out to vote in two years if medical marijuana makes the ballot.
"Supporters of the proposed amendment are less certain to cast ballots in the 2014 governor's race," David Beattie, Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson's pollster, wrote in an analysis of the poll of 600 registered voters taken Jan. 30 to Feb. 3 by his firm, Hamilton Campaigns.
"The proposal to allow the medical use of marijuana could provide a message contrast in the governor's race," Beattie wrote, "heightening its effectiveness as a turnout mechanism."
But, Beattie warns in a memo, "don't frame turnout efforts on the passage of the ballot initiative in a partisan way."
To that end, former Republican operative turned Libertarian Roger Stone is planning to join People United for Medical Marijuana's efforts to give it a bipartisan feel.
A longtime backer of marijuana legalization, Stone is seriously considering a run for governor, where he'll likely advocate for the initiative called "Right to Marijuana for Treatment Purposes."
On the Democratic side, former Nelson and Hillary Clinton fundraiser Ben Pollara is signing up as the group's treasurer. Pollara said they've had discussions with Eric Sedler, managing partner at Chicago-based ASGK Public Strategies. Sedler started the firm in 2002 with former White House adviser David Axelrod, still an adviser to President Barack Obama.
"The poll numbers were very encouraging," Pollara said, "but it's still a Herculean effort."
That's because Florida's Legislature and voters have made it tougher than ever to get measures on the ballot by citizen petition. People United for Medical Marijuana needs to collect the valid signatures of 683,149 Florida voters. That could cost up to $3.5 million.
Right now, the group has raised just $41,000 and has collected only 100,000 signatures, not all of which are valid. Some might be too old because they were collected as far back as 2009.
Florida director Kimberly Russell said the group hopes that this poll and the top-notch campaign minds could turn things around.
"If we get this on the ballot, we have a great chance of getting this passed," Russell said. "The more these pass in other states, the more people support it everywhere else."
So far, 18 states plus the District of Columbia have medical-marijuana laws, including Republican-leaning states like Arizona.
Support appears to have increased in Florida since 2011, when a pollster for Republican Gov. Rick Scott — who opposes medical marijuana — surveyed the issue. Pollster Tony Fabrizio found support was strong in Florida, 57-38 percent.
But passing a constitutional amendment in Florida is tougher than in many states, in large part due to the 60 percent threshold.
"If there was organized opposition and $5 million, you could beat this thing," said John Sowinski, a longtime Florida citizen-initiative consultant. Sowinski noted that the proposal might be perceived as too broad. While it specifies certain ailments — from Alzheimer's to Crohn's disease to HIV/AIDS — but it also allows marijuana for "other diseases and conditions when recommended by a physician."
"The weakness in the proposed amendment isn't helping AIDS patients get medicine to cope with pain," he said. "It's the language that's so broad it could allow doctors to simply recommend marijuana for almost anything. Many people still want drugs controlled."
A plurality of Florida voters, about 49 percent, say pot should remain illegal while about 40 percent say it should be legalized, the poll shows.
The pollster, Beattie, warned in his memo that the campaign should frame the effort in medical and personal terms; don't say "legalize" and don't say "drug."
When asked if marijuana should be regulated and taxed like alcohol and cigarettes, 68 percent favored that and 27 percent did not.
Asked if marijuana should be a "ticketed offense like speeding or running a red light," 48 percent approved and 42 percent disapproved.
For two years, the Florida House refused to hear a proposed constitutional amendment that would have allowed people to vote on the issue.
The sponsor, Democratic state Sen. Jeff Clemens of Lake Worth, said he plans this week to release conventional legislation — instead of a measure designed for voters — to decriminalize marijuana for medicinal purposes.
Clemens said legislators didn't like the proposed amendment because it wasn't specific enough. So now he'll present specifics by way of a bill with Democratic Rep. Katie Edwards of Plantation.
A whopping 81 percent of voters said doctors should be able to recommend marijuana to patients without fear of arrest or loss of license, while 14 percent were opposed. The doctor item was the most popular polled.
A fifth of those opposed said they'd change their mind and vote "yes" if a doctor recommended marijuana to a family member suffering from a "serious illness," the Hamilton Strategies poll shows.
Attitudes might be evolving as Florida continues to draw retirees who came of age in the 1960s. An 18-year-old in 1967's "Summer of Love" is 64 today.
"Florida is changing," said Stone, the libertarian consultant to People United for Medical Marijuana who might run for governor. "But one thing remains the same: We have a lot of older voters. And a lot of those older voters don't want the government making their health care decisions."

I am accumilating all in spite of the pain. I like what you are saying about PHOT and I know you have laid it on the line. I did some board work last night and really helped my DD here looking at all the products, companies, websites - very awesome. I am not looking at current dollar figures with my buying but the .50 pps as you indicated. All in good time. I am glad you are still here.
There still is not many between here and .03. Some good buys nad we break through. Yesterday nite was sitting at .029. A little impatience helps the future long to get some on the bid, but get real on that also. Good luck everyone.
:D) shhhhhhhhhhh. SPOM about to blow up!
Good Morning Durango - I agree award margin just not practical against the big risk of being out on run up. We are due - and we have been patient! The manipulation is not easy to bear and we all sat through our fair share (no pun intended) of it.
IMO: the other 46% want it legalized AND just not taxed!
PHOT: Ospreyeye has indicated a correction, but news and timing drive this sector and make sure your flip timings are in order not to miss the higher order of magnitude rises! I am LONG PHOT!
HoMedics PR included e-mail data: Welnness Wrist Product release (2013) and Baby Monitor in development (2014).
Great Post: I have been saying on posts the HoMedics Quality is Excelent. The design/manufacture tolerancing is very tight, electronics packaging excellent, readout screen excellent, and operability simple straight from box. Packaging is excellent. I am qualified to speak on product development at an expert level.
IMY DD - BUYING AND TESTING UNIT
REVO: Jumped in last night - Nice call guys thanks!
There you have it - I was having vivid metaphors today and I know you can relate to what I was saying now. $MJNA!
Seeeeeveeeeeennnnnnn!!! PHOT is a WINNNER!
Roll Here!
The worse it is the better it gets!
Thanks armyseal! Looking forward to it.
Congrats Apostle!
I agree and am loaded up. Make a chart move and maybe a new movie will follow!
I think of this as better than a lotto card. If they come out with another movie and it is as good as the first - bammo - up like a rocket and we will all be hugging and kissing. I am not trading it, but holding for the "OMG I am a millionaire" moment.
The Apostle - not the kind of day I hoped it would be for your first watch, but actually hope you can get some of these shares at this price. This is a good entry point amongst your peers.
Naturally there are a few who desire less profit, and some got in a bit sooner, but I do not see too much stacked to .03.
I could almost taste it today when we had nite pull back to .029. More volume is the key here. Glad to have you here.
Our other one ended up slightly - weird days over there. See you later.
CDIF at .0042 - starter position - chart - Thanks Strong - Good Luck
REVO - Followed you in at .0047-.0048
Will be picking up more along the way.
Hi REVO picked up a few shares and marked your board.
just bid sit and hope you get some.
Greens: Typical big short to close no change - opportunity to buy dip (today picked up more erbb at .0082)
Have FRZT position and wish I could get more now.
$19.86 for those shares on sell bidwhack lol - they really want to paint it down, or need a burger bad.
Mine are nice and safe waiting for the wellness watch and products going global.
Took me a while but I am a much happier when it goes down (like going hunting or fishing at 3am). Study your L2 and charts and catch that bottom and on the right days you make 10-30% lightning fast.
Now when the dips keep adding up you feel like a big dope, but if you have done your DD, like the stock, believe it will come up, then just buy more, be happy, and when it comes back your account loks fantastic.
I have never seen a stock go up so much going down!
My shares are not even in the window as I am waiting for the next legs up and in a long position here. There are a few willing to get rid of some 02s and I say congrats to whoever picked those up - smart buy.
nicely put Srchn41
