Having seen the light two days ago, I would advise to put the
functionality in the model. Then, in your controller you would grab
the results of this function and then use a $this->set('foo', $bar)
type of assignment ot make it available in the view.

If you are going to take the same data and display it multiple ways in
the view, then I think a component would be the best way to go. I'm
sure other people will correct me if I'm wrong.
