August 28, 2008 -- Galaxy Nutritional Foods (OTC Bulletin Board: GXYF),
a leading provider of cheese alternatives and organic foods, announced
today a partnership with Holistic Health Counselor and Gourmet Natural
Foods Chef Alex Jamieson, who served as a media spokesperson in a
public relations campaign reaching women's, food and health magazines.
A graduate of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, Jamieson is a
certified holistic health counselor, accredited by the American

the country, Jamieson provides dietary and lifestyle counseling to help

of limiting or eliminating high-fat dairy products.

products," said Michael E. Broll, Galaxy's Chief Executive Officer.
"We're thrilled to offer the media and our consumers more expert
information about the health benefits and superior taste and melt of
our products."
Market Wrap for August 28, 2008 Thursday marked another low volume
session for stocks, but the lack of buying conviction didn't stop the
major indices from trending more than 1% higher to finish near session
highs. The advance was prompted by encouraging economic data,
retreating oil prices, and leadership from the financial sector.
Trading volume on the NYSE failed to break one billion shares for the
ninth straight session. Volume typically exceeds the one billion shares
mark with relative ease. The lack of trading suggests there may be
little conviction behind the stock market's recent moves. Nonetheless,
the session's advance remains pleasing to bullish investors.
Stocks took off early following the announcement of second quarter GDP
data. Growth was revised upward to 3.3% from a previously reported
1.9%. Exports and personal consumption played a key role and suggested
the economy is faring far better than many headlines suggest.
Additionally, trends in the data suggest third quarter GDP will expand
at a similar rate.
Initial jobless claims for the week ending Aug. 23 fell 10,000 to
425,000. Meanwhile, the four-week moving average retreated to 440,250
from 446,250. The numbers reflect soft labor conditions and indicate a
modest decline for August nonfarm payrolls is likely.
Crude futures climbed as much as 2% early on, moving higher on fear
that Hurricane Gustav will disrupt Gulf production. As those fears
subsided and a larger-than-expected build in natural gas inventories
was announced oil dropped as much as 3.4%. It closed more than 2%
lower, near $115.55.
