Jim Jordan of Ohio, the committee's Republican chairman, directed Smith in a letter dated Wednesday to appear for a private deposition on Dec. 17 as part of the panel's investigations into the prosecutor's work. "Due to your service as Special Counsel, the Committee believes that you possess information that is vital to its oversight of this matter," Jordan wrote. He also asked Smith to produce records to the committee in addition to his testimony. A lawyer for Smith, Peter Koski, said in a statement that Smith had offered nearly six weeks ago to appear before the committee in an open hearing but would nonetheless appear as requested for the deposition. "We are disappointed that offer was rejected, and that the American people will be denied the opportunity to hear directly from Jack on these topics," Koski said. "Jack looks forward…...

42+ min ago (222+ words) Dear Eric: Christmas is overwhelming for me. I don't enjoy shopping and never have. I don't like giving gifts just for the sake of gift exchanges. I have too much stuff already and frankly, I can't afford that anymore. I do enjoy giving when I see something that I know will be perfect for the recipient and make them happy, but the pressure of doing it on a schedule is too much. Additionally, my marriage of 27 years fell apart around the holidays about two years ago and it's just not a great time of year now. " Not a Scrooge So, consider your request as less a Scrooge-like edict and more an offering that will better allow your friends to help you. How to do this? Try the unvarnished truth.

1+ hour, 12+ min ago (913+ words) Syracuse, N.Y. " As he stepped to the free throw line, William Kyle III wasn't nervous. There were 13.8 seconds left in Tuesday night's game between Syracuse and 13th-ranked Tennessee at the JMA Wireless Dome. The score was tied at 60. Kyle, Syracuse's senior center, had just missed the first of two foul shots. Free throws have been a problem for Kyle throughout his college career. He had a .568 percentage entering this season. In his first seven games with the Orange, Kyle, whose shooting motion looks like he's carrying the ball up a fire escape, had gone 11-for-26 (42.3%) at the line. And there he was, at the line with 13.8 seconds on the clock, score tied, one more chance to put the Orange ahead. "I wasn't thinking," Kyle would say later. "I wasn't necessarily nervous going to the line." William Kyle III might not have…...

9+ hour, 3+ min ago (561+ words) For most of Wednesday's boys basketball bout between Onondaga and Sandy Creek, Tigers forward Jadon Buchanan did not need to be much of a factor on offense. However, when called upon with the game on the line, Buchanan delivered in the biggest of ways. With Onondaga down by one and the clock winding down, the junior drained his first career 3-pointer to give the Tigers a 63-61 victory over the Comets. Buchanan, a player deemed the "strongest player on the court" by Onondaga coach Jesse Crawford-Behm, is known for his presence on the interior. Despite this, he did not hesitate with the ball in his hands behind the arc. "I talked to Jadon during one of the timeouts," Crawford-Behm said. "I said, "Listen, you're in the game right now. I know what you can do. Go be tough out there and…...
