[11:19] {Threei}  Bank of New York Company Inc Moody's affirms ratings for BK and JPM: outlook Negative following action on US Sovereign rating
[11:19] {Threei}  - The firms' supported ratings were confirmed at their current levels because the US government's rating was confirmed at Aaa and Moody's continues to believe that there is a very high probability that these institutions would be supported by the US government to avoid a default. The supported ratings have a negative outlook not only due to the US government's negative outlook, but also due to Moody's view that over time the likelihood that systemically important banks will be supported by the US government support could decline over time as the Dodd-Frank Act and other changes to the US banking system are implemented.

[13:34] {Threei}  Harbin Electric Inc Responds to Citron research- CEO: "We are not really surprised by this most recent attempt by the short sellers to drive our share price down, Ever since the Company announced on June 20, 2011 that it has entered into a merger agreement for the Company to go private, management has been advised by many market professionals, including many of our highly supportive long-term investors, that attacks on the credibility of the Company would continue, and may even increase, in order to drive its share price down for the benefit of short sellers.
