I have followed the 2.0 book to add pagination to a controller/view. I
get the paginate controls and they are rendering correctly (they
*think* I'm doing things like next page and sort when I click on the
links since they change their counts and links) however the data
returned isn't paginated.

I should only be seeing 10 posts, but I am getting all posts in the
database (about 30) no matter what I click on.

Any pointers?

The code in the PostsController.php looks like:
<?php
class PostsController extends AppController {
    public $name = 'Posts';
    public $helpers = array('Html', 'Form', 'Paginator');
    public $components = array('Session');

    public $paginate = array(
        'limit' => 5,
        'order' => array(
            'Post.title' => 'asc'
        )
    );

    public function news() {
        $this->paginate ('Post');
        $this->set('posts', $this->Post->find('all'));
    }

The code in the view looks like:
<table>
    <tr>
        <th width=25%><?php echo $this->Paginator->sort('title',
'Title'); ?></th>
        <th><?php echo $this->Paginator->sort('body', 'Content'); ?></
th>
    </tr>
       <?php foreach ($posts as $post): ?>
    <tr>
        <td><?php echo $post['Post']['title']; ?> </td>
        <td><?php echo $post['Post']['body']; ?> </td>
    </tr>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
</table>

<?php
// Shows the page numbers
echo $this->Paginator->numbers();

// Shows the next and previous links
echo $this->Paginator->prev('« Previous', null, null, array('class' =>
'disabled'));
echo $this->Paginator->next('Next »', null, null, array('class' =>
'disabled'));

// prints X of Y, where X is current page and Y is number of pages
echo $this->Paginator->counter();
?>
