OTTAWA -- Herb Gray, a former deputy prime minister and one of Canada's longest-serving parliamentarians, died Monday at the age of 82.

The federal Liberal party said Gray passed away peacefully at an Ottawa hospital.

"Beloved by all, Herb devoted a lifetime to his party and his country, in both good times and bad," Liberal leader Justin Trudeau said in a statement.

"He has left behind an immense legacy unmatched by most in Canadian history."

Gray's career in federal politics spanned nearly four decades, starting in Opposition to John Diefenbaker and sweeping to victory with Jean Chretien's third Liberal majority government in November 2000.

The man sometimes known as The Gray Fog was a master of deflection in the House of Commons, embodying the place where opposition questions disappeared in a miasma of polite, monotonal verbiage.

Constituents, however, said he was a down-to-earth politician who always looked beyond party lines when it came to their concerns.

Gray leaves behind wife Sharon Sholzberg, and two children, Jonathan and Elizabeth, and eight grandchildren.

The Windsor lawyer was first elected to the Commons in 1962 at the age of 31.

Pyongyang, April 21 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Un, first secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea, first chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK and supreme commander of the Korean People's Army, visited the Songdowon International Children's Camp where its remodeling project is near completion.

He went round several places of the camp for hours to learn in detail about the project.

He watched the newly erected statues depicting President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il among children and then moved to the International Friendship Children's Hall.

Making the rounds of the theatre, mountaineering knowledge dissemination room, video games room, library, international friendship room, room for the Children's Union, drawing room, exhibition room for children's works, 4-D simulation cinema and other places of the hall one by one, he said he was very pleased to visit them. "Our architecture has successfully reached the world level," he said with pride.

Recalling that the Party gave an instruction to build a room dedicated to the education in Kim Jong Il's patriotism for implanting patriotism in children, he noted that the Party's intention was translated into a reality in the course of remodeling the camp.

Watching the slogan "We are the happiest in the world!" displayed in the compound of the camp, he said the slogan was very good, adding that it clearly reflected the gratitude of the children in the DPRK to the President and Kim Jong Il and to the Party for projecting them as the king of the country and loving them.

"We are struggling, regarding our trouble as pleasure, in order to enable our children and people to live with nothing to desire more in the world and the slogan helps us undertake any difficult job with pleasure," he said.

He highly appreciated the newly-built outdoor playground, gymnasium, indoor swimming pool and water park and archery field, noting that synthetic grass, spectators' seats and wave-style blue roof of the playground were in good harmony and all buildings looked like a beautiful picture and an art work.

He said that the aquarium, aviary and show room for stuffed specimens of animals were built in a peculiar style so that the campers might acquire knowledge about fauna and flora, adding they would like them.

Saying that not only bedrooms, dining halls and kitchens but service facilities of the first and second buildings were suited to the children's minds, he said cooking practice room was built well as intended by the Party so that children might enjoy cooking themselves and prepare varieties of dishes.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Netflix (NFLX) shares rose after the online entertainment company posted first-quarter results that were mixed, and ittopped 35 million streaming subscribers.The company also announced a price increase for new members.

Los Gatos, Calif.-based Netflix earned 86 cents a share on $1.27 billion in revenue for the quarter, as the company surpassed 35 million streaming subscribers, of which 34.38 million are paying. Streaming margins hit 25.2% in the first quarter. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters were expecting the company to earn 83 cents a share on $1.266 billion in revenue for the first quarter.

When the company announced its fourth-quarter results, Netflix said it expected to earn 78 cents a share for the first quarter, above the consensus estimate of 76 cents a share. WATCH: More market update videos on TheStreet TV The company ended the quarter with $8 million in free cash flow, up from $5 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. In the first quarter, Hastings noted that House of Cards, Season 2, which debuted in February, "attracted a huge audience that would make any cable or broadcast network happy," though he declined to give specific numbers. "During the quarter, we also announced our first original live-action comedy series, Grace and Frankie, featuring Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin. Already this quarter, we've brought members additional episodes of Turbo F.A.S.T. On May 30, we will launch Season 2 of the Ricky Gervais series, Derek, in most territories and on June 6th, we'll debut Season 2 of Orange is the New Black, giving our members around the globe the opportunity to immerse themselves in this rich and engaging world. The trailer will give you a sense of what's in store for this tremendously popular show." In the letter, Hastings also talked about the upcoming summer line-up, which includes Hemlock Grove Season 2, the animated comedy series BoJack Horseman and the final six episodes of The Killing. Recent set-top boxes have been kind to Netflix, including the introduction of the Amazon (AMZN) Fire TV, announced earlier this month. "We continue to see more capable Internet television devices launched. Chromecast, Roku Streaming Stick, and Amazon Fire TV (on which we expect to support voice search later this year) push the quality of experience and price points for adapter products," Hastings wrote in the letter. On the call, Hastings was complimentary of the Fire TV and Amazon Prime Instant Video, noting he is a Prime member, and he sees Prime as a complimentary service to Netflix. "It's a great relationship all around," Hastings said on the call. It appears as if consumers are taking to Netflix's content offerings, as Hastings cited a Morgan Stanley survey from March, which had 17% of respondentsciting Netflix as offering the best original programming, "second only to HBO, and ahead of Showtime and Starz. To have achieved this recognition in our second year of original content creation is exciting and we are optimistic about building on our initial success." Turning to the price increase, Hastings said there will be an increase for new members of $1 or $2, depending on the country. "Existing members would stay at current pricing (e.g. $7.99 in the U.S.) for a generous time period," Hastings noted. "These changes will enable us to acquire more content and deliver an even better streaming experience." On the call, Netflix said that most of the increase in revenue from the price increases would go towards spending on original content. The revenue increase in the short-term would be "modest." Hastings also took a shot at AT&T in the letter, noting the company's DSL service, U-Verse, is exceptionally slow: "Our long-term ISP performance index shows some positive data, and some surprising data, particularly in the U.S. The positive is that Comcast is providing a much improved Netflix experience to their broadband subscribers, and now nearly all cable Internet households receive great quality Internet video. The surprising news is that AT&T fiber-based U-verse has lower performance than many DSL ISPs, such as Frontier, CenturyLink & Windstream. This reinforces our view that connectivity to the broader Internet is critical to the quality of experience consumers receive. The 249 customer comments on AT&T's anti-Netflix blog post indicate that AT&T customers expect a good quality Netflix experience given how much they pay AT&T for their Internet service. It is free and easy for AT&T to interconnect directly with Netflix and quickly improve their customers' experience, should AT&T so desire." Shares of Netflix closed the regular session higher, gaining 0.80% to close at $349.49. --Written by Chris Ciaccia in New York >Contact by Email.

With winter ending and spring arriving, Long Island residents will soon face that humid, sweltering heat that comes with every summer season.

But this summer you dont have to be miserable in the heat.

Flanders Heating and Air Conditioning has a number of tips and products to help anyone survive this upcoming season.

Whole House Fans

These fans help cool off your home by pulling cold air throughout your home and exhausting the warm air through your attic. The fans are most effective when operated at night, when the air outside is cooler than the air inside your home.

Setting Your Thermostat Appropriately

Do not set your thermostat at a colder temperature setting than normal when you turn on your air conditioning. Setting it colder, will not cool your home any faster and can result in excessive cooling and also unnecessary expense. Even though we all love our homes feeling like the inside of a refrigerator, you should set your thermostat as high as comfortably possible. The less difference between the indoor and outdoor temperature, the lower your overall cooling bill will be.

Indoor Fans

Consider ceiling fans to spread the cooled air more effectively through your home without greatly increasing your power use. Also set your fan speeds whether ceiling or on the floor on high speed, except when its very humid. When it is humid set the fan speed on low and you will get better cooling.
