Preferential policies will be granted to encourage college graduates to work at grassroots or start business in a move to boost employment.

Graduates that decide to work at grassroots will be provided with tuition compensation or a reduction in their student loan.

The State Council, China's Cabinet, says loans or subsidies will be given to new graduates to open online shops.

Small and micro businesses in technology will benefit from similar policies once they recruit a certain amount of college graduates.

State-owned enterprises are required to publish employment information on the Internet to safeguard a level playing field in recruitment.

The authority urged governments at all levels to give top priority to boosting employment among college graduates.

More than 7.3 million university students will enter the job market this year, mostly in June and July. The number is almost 300,000 more than last year.

China has been confronted with a tough employment situation due to slowing economic growth, with an increasing number of jobless people, including college graduates and employees from sectors plagued by overcapacity.

Experts on clean governance have expressed their optimism about China's anti-graft drive after a top disciplinary official stressed the responsibilities of the Party organizations in the fight against corruption.

Wang Qishan, secretary of the Party Central Commission for Discipline Inspection said that Party committees at all levels should take the lead in improving work style, building a clean government and fighting corruption.

Wang made the remark while meeting with leading officials of central Party and government organs, centrally-administered enterprises and state-owned financial institutions recently.

Failing to improve the Party's work style and build a clean government will be regarded as dereliction of duty; and those who fall short of shouldering their responsibilities and carrying out adequate oversight will be held accountable.

Experts believe Wang's remarks have detailed clearer requirements for Party committees and leading officials of such institutions in regard of their anti-graft commitment.

Huang Weiting, a research fellow with "Seeking Truth", the official magazine of the Party Central Committee, says central Party and governmental departments are at the center of China's governance; And decisions of their officials may carry weight in the country's major political and economic policies.

Huang adds they are also subject to greater corruption risks, and their corruption could have a greater impact on society.

Technicians have finished installing solar panels on the White House roof. This has capped a project that the United States' government hopes will send a signal that renewable energy is feasible and environmentally shrewd.

President Barak Obama said in 2010 that he would retrofit his family's new home with solar panels, then use the power generated to heat water for the first family and provide some electricity.

But the project remained dark until late last year, when the installation finally started.

Due to security concerns, the White House won't say how many panels now encase the top of it, or how much they cost.

The panels are expected to generate more than 6 kilowatts of solar power whenever the sun shines.

President Obama wants to use his personal example to spur families and businesses to do more to reduce reliance on foreign energy and cut emissions blamed for global warming.

Energy officials say solar panels at the White House are a really important message that "solar is there, we are doing it, and we can do a lot more."

"Think different" became Apple's creed during the late Steve Jobs' reign as CEO. Now, chief executive Tim Cook is embracing the idea while making decisions that would have seemed crazy to his fabled predecessor.

Apple's pending purchase of headphone maker and streaming music company Beats Electronics for 3.2 billion dollars is just the latest example of Cook's deviation from Jobs. Jobs had so much confidence in his company's innovative powers that he saw little sense in spending large amounts of money on acquisitions.

Cook became chief executive in late August 2011, roughly six weeks before Jobs died. But in a number of ways, he is just beginning to put his own imprint on Apple.

Cook is straying from Jobs' cash-hoarding habits by committing to return 130 billion dollars to shareholders through dividends and stock buybacks. He has orchestrated a company stock split, and agreed to match employees' charitable contributions up to 10,000 dollars annually.
