Rails - Jun 2006 - Controller Modules Messed Me Up

Modules are exactly what I needed to figure out, but once I started my 
app over again putting my controller under a module folder, I can''t get
my basic app going.

Basically I have a News app, where we will post PR and other articles of 
interest.  It was working fine with a model/controller combo of 
news/index for the public and news/admin for the administrators.  Keep 
in mind this was the very early stages of development.

So I knew I wanted more components in the admin area, so I finally found 
modules and went back to do it all again with news/index for the public 
and admin/news/index for the administrators.  Everything set up fine 
with the generator and scaffold for adding news in the admin area. 
However now I can''t get the public area to show the list of news.  Here
is what I did:

/app/controllers/news_controller.rb

class NewsController < ApplicationController

  def Index
    @news = News.news_items
  end
end


/app/models/news.rb

class News < ActiveRecord::Base

  validates_presence_of :date_added, :date_live, :news_date, :added_by, 
:headline, :summary, :article

  def self.news_items
      find( :all,
            :conditions   => "news_date <= now()",
            :order        => "news_date desc")
  end

end


/app/views/news/index.rhtml

<h1>Recent News</h1>

<% for news in @news %>

<h3><%= news.headline %></h3>

<% end %>


Here is the output of http://localhost:3000/news

NoMethodError in News#index

Showing app/views/news/index.rhtml where line #3 raised:

It appears to me that @news doesn''t contain anything according to the 
error.  Where is my problem in the code?  This worked fine when the 
admin section was news/admin, so is there something different that must 
be done when it is in the module /admin/news/admin?
