Gary,
I am a part of a class that attempts to do what we call computational
science and we teach students to develop computer models and we often do
great amounts of research on the internet.  I feel that the program
incorperates the science and computer science in a fantastic way. We tend
to use data from other sites as well as data we generate as a part of the
programing.  If this sounds like something you would like to know more
about E-mail me directly.

Thanks

Dan
