JILL SCOTT THE BOOK: The Moments, the Minutes, the Hours, due in 2005 THE BUZZ: Before she sang neo-soul tunes, Scott was a spoken-word veteran of Philadelphia's boho caf??s CRINGEWORTHY VERSE: What does the alley cat do when the unchained dog begins to growl? THE AUDIENCE: Grownup gals who want their groove back

But while the prices of many big-ticket consumer durables, such as automobiles and refrigerators, remained stable or fell, the cost soared for many everyday services--hairdressers, caf??s, parking meters.
