Oliver acknowledges that the trend might have its critics, but brushes them aside, noting that "though some might scoff at the idea of making helmets de rigueur, one must remember that more options leave fewer reasons for cyclists to go unprotected." Count me among the scoffers. This piece misses the larger problem with helmets. Decoration doesn't make them less bulky or hard to store, and they still create a sticky mess of flattened hair. (Motorcycle helmets, by the way, are also not cool. The motorcycle is what's cool. Someone would look really stupid riding a bike with a motorcycle helmet on.)

At least since the early 1990s, the cultural field has lamented the fact that it is a disaggregated and distributed policy field. Policy agendas and new practices emerge in specific contexts, pushed along by actors and organizations that have particular interests. Leaders have increasingly become aware of the need for a consistent and powerful collective action agenda -or a common set of ideas recognized by most arts leaders, artists, arts activists and advocates as important issues for debate, dialogue, and action. \n\nThe 2008 National Performing Arts Convention was a self-conscious effort to answer this clarion call-to bring together arts leaders across disciplines to learn from each other, identify common goals, and advance a field-wide agenda. Was collective action possible? What were the constraints and opportunities for action?

The Congress on Research in Dance (CORD) provides opportunities for dance professionals from a broad range of specialties to exchange ideas, resources, and methodologies through publication, international and regional conferences, and workshops.

Creativity works in mysterious and often paradoxical ways. Creative thinking is a stable, defining characteristic in some personalities, but it may also change based on situation and context. Inspiration and ideas often arise seemingly out of nowhere and then fail to show up when we most need them, and creative thinking requires complex cognition yet is completely distinct from the thinking process.
