It’s not Glee or High School Musical,  but a music video featuring students from a Western Pennsylvania charter school is being circulated by the state Department of Health to make the point that prevention is the best cure for the H1N1 flu virus.

“This video is groundbreaking because it educates children on the simple ways to prevent H1N1 flu in a manner that is fresh, fun and engaging,” said Health Secretary Everette James.

The video features students from Lincoln Park Performing Arts Charter School in Midland, Beaver County.
It is aimed at children between the ages of 6 and 12 and focuses on five steps to take to prevent getting or spreading the H1N1 virus.

John “Jordan” Lewis' defense team has concluded making its closing arguments in Lewis’ trial for the murder of Police Officer Chuck Cassidy.

As a result, there are delays and cancellations.

The Associated Press reports:

A U.S. Airways jet en route from Philadelphia to London made an unscheduled stop in Boston last night after the pilot deemed a passenger's behavior unruly and decided to have him removed from the plane.

John Alexander Murray, of Glasgow, Scotland, was arrested shortly after flight 728 landed at Logan International Airport at 11:08 p.m. Monday, said airport spokesman Phil Orlandella. The plane departed for London two hours later, Orlandella said.

Murray, 50, is being held in Boston this morning. Orlandella said Murray was arrested for interfering with a flight crew.

U.S. Airways spokesman Todd Lehmacher said the pilot decided to land the plane in Boston and have Murray removed before beginning the trans-Atlantic crossing "in the interest of safety."

Neither Lehmacher nor Orlandella could say what kind of disturbance Murray allegedly caused on the flight. Lehmacher said it doesn't appear to have been any kind of terrorist threat.
