(The Hill) -- Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber announced a curfew on Sunday after two fatal shootings over the weekend on Ocean Drive amid an influx of spring-breakers and out-of-city visitors. "As I've said many times, we don't ask for spring break in our city. We don't want spring break in our city. It's too rowdy, brings too much disorder and it's simply too difficult to police," Gelber said in a video message to residents on Sunday. "While most may come here to enjoy the amenities of Miami Beach, the overwhelming volume of visitors, a few that come with bad intentions in the presence of guns creates a wholly intolerable situation."The latest shooting occurred on Sunday morning at about 3:30 a.m., where one man was shot and later died at a hospital, and another was wounded, Miami Beach police said. The police confirmed on Twitter that it was a "targeted and isolated" incident. Miami Beach police said they responded to another scene where two people were suffering from gunshot wounds ...TxDOT: Nightly I-35 closures at US 183 begin Sunday, delays expected

FORT MYERS, Fla. — Jose Miranda spent his offseason slimming down and getting himself into better playing shape. But the Twins haven’t yet gotten a chance to see all of the benefits of Miranda’s physical conditioning.The third baseman has yet to play a game in the field, dealing with a sore right shoulder that has relegated him to a designated hitter role only and prevented him from competing in the World Baseball Classic for Puerto Rico.That’s soon to change.Miranda is supposed to play in the field for the first time in the coming days, Baldelli said — it may be a major league game, may be a minor league game — perhaps as soon as Tuesday after the Twins’ off day. That’ll be at first base before the Twins move him back to third base — a much bigger test for his shoulder.Miranda said his shoulder got progressively worse earlier this spring, prompting him to finally tell the training staff, at which point he was shut down from throwing. Now, as the Twins have built him back up w...Randy Travis adds second show in Glens Falls
