TIAA-CREF'S PERSONAL ANNUITY SELECT There are many annuities on the market, but this is the only one we could uncover with no surrender charge and a return double that of the average CD. tiaa-cref's tax-deferred annuity returns a fixed 4.7% annually through next March (when the return will be adjusted) for contributions made through October. The program works much like a money-market account but with a few restrictions. You make a deposit (the minimum is $250) and add to it as often as you like. Once you reach age 59 1/2, you are allowed...
Nobody in hip-hop cherishes the word bitch more than Eve, and that's saying something. Male rappers use it all the time as an ostensibly neutral term for all women besides their mothers (or, in the case of Eminem, all women). But on her new CD, Eve-Olution (Interscope), the Philadelphia-bred queen of Top 40 rap applies it to herself and with fervid conviction.

Iomega unveiled its 750-MB Zip drive ($180) last week. It's 2 1/2 times as fast as its predecessor and has three times the storage space. It can read older discs and is a cinch to use.

CDRW drives can be bought for half the price, and the discs offer nearly as much storage space (up to 700 MB) for a fraction of the cost (80[cents...
...single drove the chevy to the levee, and the levee is now officially dry. Following a 40% drop in 2001, sales of singles on CD and tape are down 67% so far in 2002, putting the format on the fast track to extinction. It's not just consumer apathy; many major labels have simply stopped manufacturing singles, which retail for about $4, figuring that if consumers really want to hear a song and have no other choice, they will just fork over $18.99 for an entire album. Some consumers have even resorted to downloading the songs they want for free...
...slew of arpeggios (eight, to the all-time record 11 in "Great Balls") and the satyr-singer's invocation of the magic moment "when your hips start rockin'/ Honey, and your knees start knockin'." For a transcendent 1min, 58 secs., find the song on the Jerry Lee CD "25 All-Time Greatest Sun Recordings...
