Titanium Appcelerator did complete what I wanted to do for an Android Gingerbread device in under 3 days. This was accomplished with a local database(Sqlite) and with the functionality that I wanted in displaying the data. I only needed to refine the interface and add the Intents for use of Android services. I looked over their WIKI documentation and the changes that they made will make me look into their UI building techniques.
Below is the javascript code I used when I started looking into the development tool
var win = Titanium.UI.createWindow({
title:'My Window',
backgroundColor:'#cccccc'
});
var label = Titanium.UI.createLabel({
color:'#999',
text:'Hello World',
font:{fontSize:20},
textAlign:'center'
});
win.add(label); // add label to window
win.open(); // open window
Really simple to start. http://amplify.com/u/a1gupq

They could vote to cede control of the Harlem-based institution to a consortium of Wall Street firms and the U.S. government in return for $55 million of cash to rescue their ailing bank. Turning the money down would likely have doomed Carver Federal Savings, the nation's largest bank founded and run by African Americans.

Farrakhan: Nation of Islam mourns assassination of Muammar Gadhafi
Read more at www.finalcall.com“I feel like I have lost a very, very important member of my own family. I can't take the assassination of Muammar Gadhafi lightly, as I could not take the assassination of my brother, or my mother, or my wife or my children lightly. That's the kind of relationship that we had and that we have,” said Min. Farrakhan. “I come to say to the world that the Nation of Islam mourns the loss of a great brother leader, the Lion of the Desert, the Lion of Africa, and those who rejoice at his death, your laughter will turn to tears and your joy will turn to sorrow and great pain because of what the Western world and those collaborators will lose as a result of his betrayal and his ultimate assassination.”
