MONACO (AP) ? Mark Webber won the Monaco Grand Prix from the pole Sunday while Fernando Alonso moved narrowly into the championship lead in Formula One.

Webber is the sixth different driver to win in the opening six races of the season, a first for the series.

Drivers favored a one-stop tire strategy on the most difficult track for overtaking. Webber, in effect, needed to make it to the first corner in front and then negotiate a clean pit stop.

The 35-year-old Australian did just that to stay ahead of Nico Rosberg and Alonso for his eighth career win. It was his second victory in three years at Monaco for Red Bull, which has won the last three at this track from the pole position.

"I'm feeling incredible," Webber said. "It was reasonably straightforward at the start. It's just a matter of then getting back into a reasonable gap (with) the weather threatening."

Alonso, who is bidding for his third F1 title, headed into the race tied with two-time defending champion Sebastian Vettel with 61 points. He now leads Vettel and Webber by three points.

"It's interesting to see the constant surprises we're having this season. You never know who's going to be in pole and win the race," Alonso said. "It's difficult in Monaco, but we managed the traffic."

Several drivers failed to finish, including Jenson Button and Michael Schumacher.

Vettel drove brilliantly to finish fourth, after starting ninth, and Red Bull's strategy of keeping him on the same set of tires for 46 laps worked to perfection.

"It was an amazing day for the team," Webber said.

McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton finished fifth ahead of Ferrari's Felipe Massa.

Webber clenched his fist as he crossed the finish line less than one second ahead of Rosberg's Mercedes.

"Unfortunately, it didn't come together perfectly, but I'm happy with second place overall," Rosberg said.

Although the front six were relatively untroubled as rain splashed the Monaco circuit late in the afternoon, there was chaos elsewhere.

The race was only seconds old when a crash took out four drivers, including Frenchman Romain Grosjean, one of the favorites.

Schumacher appeared to nudge his Mercedes into Grosjean as they jostled for position, sending Grosjean's Lotus spinning sideways.

Pastor Malonado's Williams was caught in the mayhem and bashed into Pedro de la Rosa's HRT as all three went out of the race while Schumacher continued. Japanese driver Kamui Kobayashi, whose Sauber was also damaged, failed to restart after making a pit stop for repairs.

"I'm very disappointed," Grosjean said. "I wanted to finish the Grand Prix, but it was a terrible start and that was that."

Alzheimer's Miracle Cure on the Horizon? - Brisk Elder Law

In today?s world, planning for old age can be a challenge- both financially and legally. Additionally, supporting an elderly loved one who is almost certain to be diagnosed with Alzheimer?s becomes even more troubling.

Are you or someone you love at risk for Alzheimer?s in the future? What if the disease could be ?cured? before it struck? There may be hope on the horizon, as reported in a New York Times article titled, ?New Drug Trial Seeks to Stop Alzheimer?s Before It Starts.?

While nearly two years away from having even preliminary data, researchers have isolated the genetic family bearing the Alzheimer?s blueprint and are working on a new experimental drug that could cure the problem before it strikes millions bearing the offending gene. These breakthroughs take time.

In the meantime, it?s necessary to make financial and legal plans as if the miracle drug won?t come to pass. Accordingly, long-term care financing (e.g., long-term care insurance and/or elder law planning) ought to be considered, along with implementing (or refreshing) your most fundamental legal instruments (e.g., powers of attorney and advance health directives).

As always, consult competent financial and legal counsel before proceeding. This is not a DIY (do-it-yourself) exercise. Too much is at stake.

Chesapeake Energy selling half a million acres in Colorado, Wyoming

HOUSTON?? Chesapeake Energy Corp. is selling oil and gas assets in Colorado and Wyoming as it seeks to raise revenue to fund its cash-strapped operations.

According to a prospectus listed by the transaction-advisory firm helping Chesapeake, about 503,863 net acres of land in the northern DJ Basin are being listed. The area includes both conventional and unconventional reservoirs. Last year, Chesapeake sold acreage there to China's Cnooc Ltd.

The move is part of Chesapeake's bid to raise up to $11.5 billion from the sale of assets this year to help pay down debt and run its expensive drive into oil-rich shale areas. The company recently said it would seek to divest noncore assets in addition to the widely announced sale of its oil-rich land in the Permian Basin and the listing of a joint venture in the Mississippi Lime in the central U.S.

Analysts have said they are concerned about the company's liquidity, which has been sapped by decade-low levels for natural-gas prices, by its high levels of debt and by the steep requirements of its drilling program.

Japan radiation levels are 'low'

24 May 2012 Last updated at 07:03 ET

Radiation levels in most of Japan are below cancer-causing levels a year after the Fukushima plant accident, a World Health Organisation (WHO) report published on Wednesday says.

Two areas near the plant have relatively higher levels of radiation, but radiation levels in surrounding countries are close to normal.

The preliminary report is part of a wider ongoing health assessment by WHO.

Fukushima nuclear plant was badly damaged in the 2011 Japan earthquake.

Separately a UN scientific committee said several workers at the plant had been "irradiated after contamination of their skin".

"Six workers have died since the accident but none of the deaths were linked to irradiation," said a statement issued on interim findings by the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Radiation (UNSCEAR).

Namie town and Itate village, near the plant in eastern Japan, are exposed to radiation levels of 10-50 millisieverts (mSv), while the rest of Fukushima has radiation levels of 1-10 mSv, the WHO report said.

Most of Japan has levels of 0.1-1 mSv, while neighbouring countries have less than 0.01 mSv.

The report says that levels outside Japan are below those regarded by the international radiological protection community as "very small".

People are exposed on average to around 2 mSv of radiation a year from the natural environment, although there is considerable variation between individuals. The single-year limit for occupational exposure of workers is 50 mSv.

To avoid any underestimation of radiation levels, the report used conservative assumptions, and says some of the levels may have been overestimated.

The earthquake and tsunami in Japan in March 2011 triggered a nuclear meltdown at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, causing radiation leaks and forcing the evacuation of thousands of people.
