"we are undertaking a major upgrade of the SAGE Journals Online platform to a new environment supported by HighWire’s “2.0” technology (“H2O”). All 560+ SAGE journals will be available on SJO’s next generation platform by the end of 2010."
My view: Most of the major online journal content platforms needs upgrading in line with the evolving WWW.
I am not an English poetry buff and didn't even know who Arvind Mehrotra was until I chanced to read a news item on his being nominated to an prominent professorial chair at Oxford University.
Here is a sample of the evocative poetry of Arvind Krishna Mehrotra.
Canticle for My Son
The dog barks and the cat mews,
The moon comes out in the sky,
The birds are mostly settled.
I envy your twelve hours
Of uninterrupted dreaming.
I take your small palms in mine
And don't know what
To do with them. Beware, my son,
Of those old clear-headed women
Arvind Krishna Mehrotra is the first poet from this part of the world to be nominated for Oxford's Professorship of Poetry, the most high-profile in British poetry after the laureateship, and, for many, a more serious position than the latter. Former Professors include Matthew Arnold, W H Auden, and Seamus Heaney. Mehrotra's supporters include some very distinguished writers and scholars from every part of the world, such as Tariq Ali, Amit Chaudhuri, Tom Paulin, Charles Taylor, Toby Litt, Wendy Doniger, Adil Jussawalla, Shahid Amin, Pratap Bhanu Mehta, and various others. Charles Taylor, one of the most considerable of living philosophers, has said: 'I see what a boon it would be if Mehrotra were elected professor of poetry. The issues he raises are so central to language, and so little explored or understood - although often evoked.'

Overexposed but does capture the wind's effect on the grass.

Tranquility.
A bit underexposed but a good result nevertheless.
