can't move content block to header Magento

I am new magento. I try to play around structure block and content block. when I try to move "My Cart" block from right side to header section. It doesn't work. but once I move another block it works. ex:

    <reference name="header">
        <block type="checkout/cart_sidebar" name="cart_sidebar" template="checkout/cart/sidebar.phtml" before="-">
            <action method="addItemRender"><type>simple</type><block>checkout/cart_item_renderer</block><template>checkout/cart/sidebar/default.phtml</template></action>
            <action method="addItemRender"><type>grouped</type><block>checkout/cart_item_renderer_grouped</block><template>checkout/cart/sidebar/default.phtml</template></action>
            <action method="addItemRender"><type>configurable</type><block>checkout/cart_item_renderer_configurable</block><template>checkout/cart/sidebar/default.phtml</template></action>
            <block type="core/text_list" name="cart_sidebar.extra_actions" as="extra_actions" translate="label" module="checkout">
                <label>Shopping Cart Sidebar Extra Actions</label>
            </block>
        </block>
    </reference>

this's work (it show on top page) but when I change reference to "head", this block just disappear. Please guild me.

here's the screenshot that I want.

You have to render the block manually by:

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('extra_actions'); ?>

in cart phtml template file

Header, head & cart blocks are not core/text_list blocks means they will not render their children automatically
