VAEV News:

March 23 - Vanity Events Holding, Inc. Announces Company Progress Report

Vanity Events Holding, Inc. (OTCBB:VAEV) ("Vanity") provided its shareholders with an overview of the Company's progress to date.

VANITY EVENTS HOLDING, INC.

Vanity Events Holding, Inc. is a holding company with two primary subsidiary companies, each with its own varied goals and objectives. The subsidiaries are Vanity Events, Inc. and America's Cleaning Company.

VANITY EVENTS, INC.

Vanity Events, Inc.'s main offices are located at 43 West 33rd Street, Suite 600 in New York City. In March 2010, Vanity Events, Inc.'s food division opened a satellite office in Queens, New York. The Company has 27 full-time, salaried employees — six in Products, five in Food, six in America's Cleaning Company — Franchising, and ten who work on corporate matters (accounting, human resources, management, operations, and information technology).

PRODUCTS DIVISION

Vanity Events, Inc. seeks out inventions, patents, and innovative products with the purpose of assisting the principles in developing and bringing those products to market. The product acquisition process is rigorous, including analyzing market research data, market trends, the ability of an individual product to significantly impact the market, and financial worthiness.

In November 2009, Vanity Events, Inc. partnered with the United Inventors Association as a corporate sponsor, giving the Company the opportunity to reach and assist inventors in a wide range of fields, while at the same time allowing the Company the opportunity to establish itself as a leader in the field of innovation.

The Company's Products Division is extremely selective in determining which products to accept. To date, the Company has reviewed hundreds of product concepts and models, of which fewer than one hundred have received non-disclosure agreements. Of those that received non-disclosures, the Company has rejected the majority after determining they were not financially worthwhile to pursue. The Company is currently in "active" status with 35 products.

FOOD DIVISION

Vanity Events, Inc. also has a Food Division which seeks out innovative food products in order to develop and bring those products to market, while also working as a distributor of food products to various institutions and restaurants.

To date, the Food Division has developed plans to sell a full line of 100% natural sorbet as well as frozen fruits grown and imported from Chile, and a full line of organic pastas — flavored and whole wheat — are planned as well. The food department has already secured a number of contracts with groceries, nursing homes, restaurants and schools, with plans to sell to other institutions including hospitals.

AMERICA'S CLEANING COMPANY — FRANCHISING DIVISION

In addition to product development, Vanity Events, Inc. also functions as the management company for the franchising plans of America's Cleaning Company. Using its licensed trademark of America's Cleaning Company™ and its recognizable logo of "Anna C. Clean", the Company plans to brand itself as the premier provider of residential and commercial cleaning on a national level, while utilizing its own proprietary, brand-name products.

In September 2009, the Company began working with a number of established firms in order to best develop the franchise model for America's Cleaning Company. The Homewood, Illinois-based iFranchise Group are the prime advisors of the Company, guiding the Company through the franchising process while helping the Company develop its franchise model. In October 2009, the Company began working with Waterstreet, a Vancouver-based technology company, to develop specialized, web-based business management software for the Company. This software will be used to estimate and schedule jobs, track inventory, run reports on revenue and costs, and will be used by every franchise, allowing the Company to track and analyze the data from franchise to franchise.

In November 2009, the Detroit-based Out of the Box Technology (formerly Technology in a Box) began developing customized Quickbooks®-based software, including a standard set of accounting guidelines to be used by each franchise. Out of the Box has also worked with Waterstreet to integrate the two technologies, allowing the Company to closely track and analyze the practices of its franchisees and to quickly assist the franchisees by promoting best practices and showing where improvements can be made.

In November 2009, the Company also began working with the Tulsa-based Intellevue, a mapping software company, to help map and establish territories for potential franchisees based on carefully examined demographic information.

AMERICA'S CLEANING COMPANY

America's Cleaning Company began as a division of Vanity Events, Inc. and became its own company in December 2009.

America's Cleaning Company is carrying out operations as a "corporate franchise prototype", designed to both determine best practices and to test the franchise management technologies in order to streamline and simplify them for potential franchisees.

The Company has performed services in the New York City boroughs of Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn; on Long Island; and in northern New Jersey. The number of jobs ACC has performed has steadily increased in five of six months, beginning with 10 jobs carried out in the month of September, growing to 109 jobs carried out in the month of March.

America's Cleaning Company has four full-time salaried employees, and utilizes part-time workers as needed to carry out its services.

In March 2010, the Company began a partnership with America Works, a nationally recognized agency which specializes in intensive, personalized employment services. America's Cleaning Company is able to hire pre-screened, quality employees directly through America Works.

New customers total 43%; healthcare equals 42%

Zanett, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZANE) announced that it has set an in-house corporate record for contracts signed in a single quarter since the Company was founded over 10 years ago. During the first 3 months of 2010, over $17.1 million dollars in new business has been closed. This amount is comprised of 57 different customers, with the largest customer being responsible for a $4 million mandate. The $17.1 million in deal closings currently reported for Q1 includes the earlier reported $12.0 million comprising of business closed in January and February 2010.

PAST 6 MONTHS EQUALS $30.8 MILLION IN NEW BUSINESS

During the past six months, over $30.8 million of business was closed. Chuck Deskins, President of Zanett Commercial Solutions stated, "I am not easily excitable, but all I can say is... Wow...! The 21 great people in our national salesforce have been doing a fantastic job across all segments and throughout all geographies. Over 43% of all new business closed in Q1 was with brand-new customers."

The greater part of the business that has been signed during the past 6 months will be recognized as revenue during the next 4 quarters.

AMERICA IS THRIVING ... SO IS ZANETT'S HEALTHCARE FOCUS

At Zanett, the Healthcare Sector was by far the biggest segment of contracts signed for the past 3 months, accounting for 42% of the value of all contracts signed. Over the past 6 months, more than $11.3 million of new business has been closed in the Healthcare Sector.

"Throughout the US, corporations are currently hesitant about hiring individuals, due to unknown and unfunded mandates from Washington DC, so they are spending their money on increased capital expenditures. For any corporation out there, Oracle ERP and other IT spending are a natural beneficiary of a reduction in labor force.

SSN News:

April 5 - Samson Oil & Gas Advises the Gene #1-22H Interim Initial Rate at 1,112 Boepd from Partial Frac

Samson Oil & Gas Limited (NYSE Amex: SSN) (ASX: SSN) provides an Operational Update on the Gene #1-22H Well. As previously advised the Gene #1-22H well which is located in Williams County, North Dakota has been completed as a 5,500 foot horizontal well in the Mississippian Middle Bakken Formation.

Operations to fracture stimulate the well commenced on Wednesday, March 31st and Stages 1 and 2 were pumped on Thursday, April 1st; this was followed by Stages 3 through 5 which were pumped Friday and Saturday, April 2nd and 3rd. The completion design is for a 16-stage fracture stimulation so this initial operation amounts to approximately a third of the stimulation program.

Operations were suspended because of the Easter Sunday holiday and the well was flowed back whilst the service company crews were off site.

The initial flow back results from the first 5 of a planned 16 multi-stage frac were undertaken on Sunday, April 4th. The rate at 0600 hours on Sunday was recorded at 913 mscfd of gas and 960 bopd which is a combined rate of 1,112 boepd.

The flow back continued into Monday, April 5th and was recorded at 0800 hours on that day, at 650 mscfd of gas and 840 bopd which is a combined rate of 948 boepd.

The forward plan is to clean out some residual sand that was left in the well after Stage 5 using a coiled tubing unit. This interim clean out is planned for today, Monday, April 5th and the balance of the frac stages (Stages 6 through 16) will be pumped during the balance of this week. Following this, the well will be flowed back and the market will receive further advice on the results of the flow back of the entire well.

Gary #1-24H (37% working interest)

The operator of the North Stockyard field has proposed and permitted the Gary #1-24H well which is in the adjacent section to the Gene #1-22H well. Samson has yet to commit to drilling this well as we were waiting to see the results from the Gene #1-22H frac. However the initial interim results are encouraging and subject to finalizing the stimulation it is likely that Samson will elect to participate in the Gary #1-24H well. The exact timing of the well has yet to be determined but could be as early as mid May, or depending on the drilling sequence, mid June.

North Stockyard Field

Samson holds equity in 6 contiguous 640 acre sections associated with this project. Following the completion of the Gene and Gary wells, Samson will have drilled 3 of these sections using a 640 acre drilling spacing, leaving 3 additional 640 acre locations to be drilled. Given the expected drainage areas of these horizontal wells will be rectangular rather than square there should be a further 4 wells locations available to take the development spacing to a 320 acre drainage area.

The Operator has indicated that it intends to maintain the contract on the Nabors 668 rig and therefore Samson is expecting that the three additional 640 acre wells are likely to be drilled in the balance of 2010.

Samson’s Ordinary Shares are traded on the Australian Securities Exchange under the symbol "SSN." Samson's American Depository Shares (ADSs) are traded on the New York Stock Exchange AMEX under the symbol "SSN." Each ADS represents 20 fully paid Ordinary Shares of Samson. Samson has a total of 1,295 million ordinary shares issued and outstanding, which would be the equivalent of 64.7 million ADSs. Accordingly, based on the NYSE AMEX closing price of US$0.55 per ADS on April 5th, 2010 the company has a current market capitalization of approximately US$35.5 million. Correspondingly, based on the ASX closing price of A$0.026 on April 1st, 2010, the company has a current market capitalization of A$33.7 million.

Genta Incorporated is a biopharmaceutical company with a diversified product portfolio that is focused on delivering innovative products for the treatment of patients with cancer. Two major programs anchor the Company’s research platform: DNA/RNA-based Medicines and Small Molecules. Genasense® (oblimersen sodium) Injection is the Company's lead compound from its DNA/RNA Medicines program. The leading drug in Genta’s Small Molecule program is Ganite® (gallium nitrate injection), which the Company is exclusively marketing in the U.S. for treatment of symptomatic patients with cancer related hypercalcemia that is resistant to hydration. The Company has developed G4544, an oral formulation of the active ingredient in Ganite, which has recently entered clinical trials as a potential treatment for diseases associated with accelerated bone loss. The Company is also developing tesetaxel, a novel, orally absorbed, semi-synthetic taxane that is in the same class of drugs as paclitaxel and docetaxel. Ganite and Genasense are available on a “named-patient” basis in countries outside the United States.

GETA News:

April 6 - Genta's Tesetaxel Granted Fast Track Designation by FDA for Advanced Gastric Cancer

Genta Incorporated (OTCBB: GETA) announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted the Company’s request for “Fast Track” designation of tesetaxel for treatment of patients with advanced gastric cancer. Tesetaxel, a late Phase 2 oncology product, is the leading oral taxane currently in clinical development.

Fast Track designation is designed to facilitate the development and expedite the review of new drugs that are intended to treat serious or life-threatening conditions and that demonstrate the potential to address unmet medical needs. The designation typically enables a Company to submit a New Drug Application (NDA) on a “rolling” basis with ongoing FDA review during the submission process. NDAs with Fast Track designation are also usually granted priority review by FDA at the time of submission.

Based on promising results in a Phase 2a trial, Genta is conducting a confirmatory Phase 2b trial of tesetaxel as 2nd-line treatment in patients with advanced gastric cancer who have failed a single 1st-line regimen. As defined, the 1st-line regimen must comprise a platinum-containing compound (cisplatin, carboplatin, or oxaliplatin) and a fluoropyrimidine (5-fluorouracil, capecitabine, or S-1). The Fast Track designation targets the patient population that is enrolling in the Phase 2b trial.

Genta has formulated a trial design and clinical protocol for a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 trial of tesetaxel in this patient population. In developing the trial, the Company completed a dose-ranging and pharmacokinetic study of tesetaxel plus capecitabine (Xeloda®; Hoffmann LaRoche, Inc.). Results from that study showed that full doses of each of these orally administered drugs could be administered together without causing overlapping side-effects.

Genta plans to submit its proposed Phase 3 trial to FDA in the 2nd-quarter in order to secure a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA). The Company looks forward to meeting with the FDA to discuss the trial design.

ABOUT TESETAXEL

Taxanes (including paclitaxel and docetaxel) are the most widely used chemotherapy drug class in cancer medicine. However, these agents are associated with serious safety issues, particularly hypersensitivity reactions related to intravenous infusions that are occasionally fatal and that require careful premedication and observation. Other prominent side-effects of this drug class include myelosuppression (low blood counts) and peripheral neuropathy (disabling nerve damage).

Tesetaxel is a novel taxane that is administered by mouth as a capsule. The drug was developed with a goal of maintaining the high antitumor activity while eliminating infusion reactions, reducing neuropathy, and increasing patient convenience. The oral route also enables the development of novel schedules that may expand dosing options when tesetaxel is combined with other anticancer drugs (such as “all oral” chemotherapy programs). Tesetaxel has demonstrated high activity against cell lines that are resistant to paclitaxel and docetaxel.

As a late Phase 2 oncology product, tesetaxel has demonstrated anticancer activity in its initial clinical trials, and the drug has not been associated with the severe infusion reactions that are linked with conventional taxanes. Moreover, unlike other oral taxanes that have been developed, nerve damage has not been a prominent side effect of tesetaxel. Thus, the drug offers substantial opportunities to improve patient convenience, safety, and anticancer activity.

Tesetaxel in Advanced Gastric Cancer

In the completed Phase 2a study, 35 patients with advanced gastric cancer were treated with tesetaxel at doses ranging from 27 to 35 mg/m2 once every three weeks. All patients had received extensive prior treatment, having failed a combination regimen that included cisplatin plus 5-fluorouracil or capecitabine. All but 2 of these patients had also received a third chemotherapy drug along with this regimen. Final intent-to-treat analysis, including all patients enrolled in the study, showed that 5 patients achieved a partial response, 2 patients achieved a partial response unconfirmed by CT scan, and 14 patients achieved stable disease, for an overall major response rate of 20% and a disease-control rate of 60%. The most serious adverse reaction was Grade 3-4 neutropenia, which occurred in 57% of patients.

Black Dragon is an oil and gas exploration and production company currently focused on the acquisition of mature, producing and existing domestic oil and gas fields. This focus has eliminated exploration risk, reduced costs of completion, and provided rapid generation of income in a niche market where larger independent and major oil companies are not positioned to compete. Black Dragon intends to recomplete additional shallow producing wells and to expand its focus to include drilling of new wells, some to deeper levels, and to purchase additional leases.
