The 31-year-old was charged with 45 felony counts for the brutal attack on his girlfriend, which was caught on CCTV footage from cameras in his bedroom, however the evidence was ruled inadmissible in court because police obtained it without a warrant. @highlight Multi-millionaire CEO of RadiumOne, Gurbaksh Chahal, 31, was charged with 45 felony counts relating to an assault on his girlfriend in August @highlight CCTV allegedly showed him hitting and kicking her 117 times in 30 minutes @highlight The footage was ruled inadmissible before it was gathered without a warrant @highlight Chahal then pleaded guilty to two charges was sentenced to community service and probation @highlight RadiumOne was dumped by news site TechCrunch after the sentence @highlight On Saturday the board terminated Chahal from the company

We have been a yo-yo club for too long, we just need to become an established @placeholder club.'
Harry Redknapp is still searching for a number of players to improve QPR's chances of Premier League survival but insists keeping Loic Remy would feel like a new signing. Signed from Marseille in January 2013, Remy proved an instant hit with the club's fans but could not prevent the Hoops from slipping to relegation. Having spent last season on loan at Newcastle while QPR battled back into the top flight through the play-offs, Remy's long-term future appeared to be away from Loftus Road, but a summer move to Liverpool collapsed. Now the France forward is preparing to start the new campaign at Rangers, with Redknapp impressed by his application since rejoining his team-mates. @highlight Harry Redknapp says QPR need 'three or four' more players @highlight But he also says signing Loic Remy would feel like a new signing @highlight Rio Ferdinand, Steven Caulker and Mauricio Isla have all joined London club @highlight Redknapp also confirmed Adel Taarabt was likely to leave the club soon

We were unprepared for what we saw in @placeholder -- the vast amount of human devastation, the complete lack of medical infrastructure, the lack of support from the Haitian medical community, the lack of organization on the ground.
New York City (CNN) -- Four years ago, the devastating Hurricane Katrina affected millions in the United States. The initial medical response was ill-equipped, understaffed, poorly coordinated and delayed. Criticism was fierce. The response to Haiti has been the same. The point no one seems to remember is this: Medical response to these situations cannot be delayed. Immediate access to emergency equipment is also crucial. Within 24 hours of the earthquake, Dr. David Helfet put together a 13-member team of surgeons, anesthesiologists and operating room nurses, with a massive amount of orthopedic operating room equipment, ready to be flown directly to Port-au-Prince on a private plane. @highlight Doctors gathered sophisticated team and equipment for Haiti on private plane @highlight They found nobody in charge, chaos, hospitals had nothing, not even elementary equipment @highlight Plane sent with equipment; supplies hijacked; resupply plane not allowed in @highlight They say the "lack of support for our operation by the United States is shocking"

And yet North Korea remained defiant -- even threatening to attack @placeholder and the United States.
(CNN) -- North Korea's chief nuclear negotiator will meet senior Russian officials next week to discuss ending the embattled nation's nuclear program, Russia's foreign ministry said. The talks involving Kim Kye Gwan, North Korea's first deputy foreign minister, and Russian deputy foreign ministers Vladimir Titov and Igor Morgulov will take place Thursday, the ministry said in a statement, according to Russia's RIA Novosti news agency. The meeting is "part of efforts to resume the six-party talks" related to North Korea's controversial nuclear program, according to Russia's foreign ministry.

In a surprise for the audience, @placeholder appeared on the auditorium's big-screen monitors.
Washington (CNN)Jeb Bush got a public blessing from his mom Friday night, who said she changed her mind about having had too many Bushes, a reference to a statement she had once made when asked if son Jeb should run for President. "Our problems are so big that it doesn't matter what your last name is in America. If America needs you for as long as you can help," former first lady Barbara Bush said. Her remarks seemed to flirt with being an endorsement for Jeb Bush to run for the highest office. Yet, they were made in the context of her son's involvement in charity work. @highlight Former first lady once said there had been too many Bushes in the White House @highlight As her son Jeb ponders presidential campaign, she says she has changed her mind @highlight But it might have been an inside joke referring to his work in a literacy forum

That slogan fuelled suspicion that a small fringe of @placeholder, who are virulently opposed to the state of Israel, were to blame.
Hebrew graffiti thanking Adolf Hitler and denouncing Zionism have been sprayed inside Israel's own Holocaust museum in Jerusalem. One giant slogan at the Yad Vashem museum in Jerusalem read: 'Thank you Hitler for your wonderful Holocaust that you arranged for us, it's only because of you that we got a state at the UN.' It was sprayed across walls in Warsaw Ghetto Square near to a sculpture depicting the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, in which 13,000 were killed in the first uprising in Nazi occupied Europe. Desecrated: Matityahu Drobles, a Holocaust survivor and former Israeli MP, looks at graffiti sprayed on the Yad Vashem memorial. It reads, 'an alternative holocaust memorial to the selective Yad Vashem should be built' @highlight Vandalism suspected to be the work of ultra-Orthodox Jews

"@placeholder" explores case studies of a few people involved in the criminal organization, using their stories and knowledge to make larger connections to the context of the outlaw group.
(CNN) -- For years, Kurt Sutter has told stories of criminal activity -- first as a writer for "The Shield" and then as the creator of FX's wildly popular "Sons of Anarchy," a dramatized version of an outlaw biker gang in California. Now he's branching out and focusing his lens on real-life criminal organizations. The Discovery Channel recently premiered "Kurt Sutter's Outlaw Empires," a six-part series that looks at the micro and macro reasons behind groups that have defined their existence outside the law. Episode one tackles famed Los Angeles gang the Crips, with subsequent shows exploring outlaw bikers, the Irish mob, the Italian mafia, the Nuestra Familia and the Aryan Brotherhood. @highlight "Kurt Sutter's Outlaw Empires" is a six-part series airing on the Discovery Channel @highlight Documentary series looks at people who have defined their existence outside the law @highlight Sutter is also the creator of "Sons of Anarchy," the FX show about a biker gang
