Doug, et al.,

It looks like TIAA-CREF has changed the format of their website sometime 
since last changed in October 2020. This in turn breaks the parsing 
logic in the module. It will need more investigation to determine if it 
can be corrected and the amount of effort required.

In the meantime, feel free to open an issue at 
https://github.com/finance-quote/finance-quote/issues.

Thank you.

P.S. I am not sure if the last person to modify the TIAA-CREF module is 
on the GnuCash user list, but I Bcc'd the email address used in their 
commits.
