Middlesex University Green Travel Plan November 2011 Contents Executive Summary 1 Introduction 2 Roles & Responsibilities 3 Current Travel Patterns, Travel Issues and Site Assessment 4 Objectives 5 Targets 6 Actions 7 Monitoring & Evaluation Appendices Executive Summary Since launching the Travel Plan for Middlesex University in May 2007, we have made significant progress in encouraging the use of sustainable transport and making the University as accessible as possible to staff, students and visitors. Whilst the progress we have made is encouraging, we will further strive to make access to Hendon Campus via sustainable transport easier in the future by introducing a number of incentives to further reduce the number of staff, students and visitors driving to the Hendon Campus. This document reviews the progress the University has made against the goals and objectives outlined in the original Travel Plan, and looks to establish ambitious new targets for the years ahead, with the Hendon Campus continuing to undergo exciting growth and change. The Travel Plan also seeks to engage with our students more than ever before, and present a package of measures designed with their specific requirements in mind. The Travel Plan reflects evolving Travel Plan best practice and current government guidance. It is designed to be a 'live' document that we will continually improve, update and evolve. These improvements will occur through continuing to work in partnership with the London Borough of Barnet and Transport for London, and through the continued support of our staff and students. Warren Forsyth Director of Estate and Facilities Management Services Introduction Background This document presents an update to Middlesex University's Travel Plan for its Hendon Campus. This document supersedes the previous Campus Travel Plan, dated June 2009 and covers both staff, student and visitor travel to and from the Campus. This updated Travel Plan has been prepared for Hendon Campus taking into consideration the redevelopment and relocation of university activities from the Cat Hill Campus. The Travel Plan also considers the proposed closure and subsequent relocation of all activities from the Trent Park Campus from August 2012. Redevelopment of Hendon Campus Since the original Travel Plan was submitted in May 2007, Middlesex University has built and opened Hatchcroft. This development was completed in September 2008 and enabled the relocation of approximately 150 staff and 3,000 students from the Enfield Campus. The Phase III development was completed in September 2011 and accommodates the Art, Media and Design courses which were relocated from the Cat Hill campus. This has allowed the relocation of approximately 190 staff and a further 1600 students. We are planning a continued expansion at Hendon to accommodate the transfer of the remaining courses from the Trent Park campus by September 2012. This planned development will intensify activity on the Hendon Campus and therefore place greater significance on promoting sustainable travel to and from campus for staff, students and visitors. Roles & Responsibilities Management of the Overall Travel Plan Nicki Littlefield is the University's Green Travel & Transport Manager and Travel Plan Co-ordinator and will continue to oversee the further development and implementation of the Travel Plan with support from Susie Page, University Environmental Manager. Overall, the Travel Plan will continue to be directed by Warren Forsyth, Director of Estate and Facilities Management Services. A Travel and Transport Group has been established to ensure that the Travel Plan is taken forward effectively. It is important that a representative of the Student Union attends Group meetings. The group will meet every 8 weeks and will feeds back to Senior Management to ensure continued support and resources for the Travel Plan. Consideration for feedback will also be taken when Nicki Littlefield attends the University Environmental Forum on a quarterly basis. Joint working is also undertaken and will continue to be developed with other stakeholders including: London Borough of Barnet Middlesex University Students Union (MUSU) Transport for London Liftshare.com City Car Club Other employers in the area with Travel Plans; and Local suppliers e.g. cycle equipment stores. Current Travel Patterns Site Assessment Introduction Middlesex currently has five campuses, three in London – Hendon, Trent Park and Archway. The other two are overseas, in Dubai and Mauritius. In London, we are engaged in an ongoing project to consolidate much of our teaching and research onto our flagship campus in Hendon, north London. Over recent years the campus has grown and continues to grow rapidly, with the construction of new buildings and the renovation of existing buildings. A site assessment of Hendon Campus was originally undertaken in August 2006. This information has been updated to reflect the changes on site. Public Transport Information Middlesex University provides public transport information to staff and students via the intranet. This information includes campus maps indicating the nearest underground and rail stations and the bus routes serving each campus. In addition, travel information is made widely available to everyone via the University website. This information includes bus routes serving the campuses, maps and inter-campus journey information. Public Transport serving Hendon Campus Hendon Campus is well served by public transport, including London Bus and London Underground services. Bus Services TfL has an accepted walk threshold of 640m to bus stops that is used in recording the Public Transport Accessibility Level (PTAL) of a site and there are six bus routes accessed within 640m of the Hendon Campus. These routes provide services to destinations such as Golders Green, Ealing, Edgware and Oxford Circus. Routes 143, 183 and 326 run directly adjacent to the site on The Burroughs and are accessed southbound from the stop opposite the Town Hall, and northbound from the stop directly outside the Hatchcroft building. Routes 113 and 186 are accessed from stops on either side of Watford Way, adjacent to the Hendon War Memorial. Route 83 is accessed further south on Vivian Avenue, and route 240 at the junction of Brent Street with Church Road, to the east of the site. Underground and National Rail Services The closest London Underground station to Hendon Campus is Hendon Central, which is approximately 10 minutes walk from the campus. The station is served by the Northern Line (Edgware branch). The closest National Rail station to the campus is Hendon, which is located approximately 1.3km south of the campus on Station Road. Hendon Station can be accessed via bus routes 83 and 183 which are described above. Trains from Hendon Station connect north to Luton, Bedford and St Albans, and south to stations in Central London, Sutton and Wimbledon. Currently, these services are operated by First Capital Connect. Pedestrian and Cycle Access Pedestrian routes surround Hendon Campus, with pedestrian crossing points at the junction with Watford Way/The Burroughs and on Church Road, near the junction of The Burroughs/Church End. Pedestrian routes surrounding Hendon Campus are mostly in good condition and well lit. Sections of the footpaths on the Eastern side of The Burroughs are in poor condition, particularly in front of Ravensfield House. The London Cycling Campaign's London Cycle Guide, published by Transport for London outlines a number of advisory routes in the vicinity of Hendon Campus. There is an advisory cycle route along Church End and part of Church Road, which is shared with general vehicular traffic. There are also some quieter routes surrounding the campus that would be suitable for most cyclists, although there are no cycle routes along The Burroughs, Watford Way or Church Hill Road. Cycle route maps are available on the Staff Intranet and the University Internet. Cycle parking is available on Campus in a number of locations: Hatchcroft building – 15 stands (30 spaces); Scholars Yard – 30 stands; and Greyhound Hill Car Park – 30 stands. Future Improvements Middlesex University remain in consultation with London Borough of Barnet about how to most effectively implement improvements to public realm spaces for cyclists and pedestrians. Student Parking Since 2007, students have not been permitted to park on campus during core hours, which are defined as between 08:00 and 16:30 on weekdays. The only exemptions to this policy are disabled and mobility impaired students. With this policy, we have attempted to deter students from driving to Hendon campus. We must however accept that there will be students who drive to University, park on the surrounding streets and then walk onto campus. It is difficult to deter these students from driving, but the University is committed to improving and promoting accessibility to Hendon campus by sustainable modes. Staff Travel Strategy The current Staff Travel Strategy can be viewed in full on the University Website and on the staff Intranet pages. In November 2009 the decision was made to deny parking permits to all new employees – those who joined after 1 January 2010 are not allowed to apply for parking permits. New joiners are made aware of this policy when they request an application pack and they should only apply if they are able to make the journey to Hendon without a car. There is also a 2 mile non-eligibility zone around the Hendon Campus so applicants must live outside this radius. We offer free travel benefits, free cycle or motorcycle gifts to all current SOCJ users at Hendon if they give up their parking permit or a lump sum to move house to within the exclusion zone of 2 miles. Staff that are eligible to apply for a Single Occupancy Car Journey (SOCJ) parking permit are 0.5% of their gross annual salary, payable monthly and taken at source by pay roll. PAYG Parking is charged at £2 per day. All staff that are eligible for a parking permit are actively encouraged to Car Share. Car Sharers are allowed free parking on campus. Such staff must demonstrate that only one parking bay is used between two or more members of staff. This policy reflects the fact that, for some staff, driving to campus is necessary due to lack of viable alternative modes. However, the University takes the view that staff car parking should be viewed as a privilege, not a right, and staff interested in applying for parking permits will be required to pay for the privilege. Contractors parking permits cost £300 per annum and we have been working to reduce the number of passes. In addition, although we are not including specific targets for Schools and Services to reduce the number of SOCJs in their area, we encourage managers across the University to stagger staff working at home/having days off throughout the working week. We will be encouraging Schools and Services to reduce their number of SOCJs down towards the 24% mark (and we will provide current SOCJ figures to each School and Service). Current Policies There are several Human Resource Services Policies that promote travel choice for staff: Flexible Working Procedure (including working from home) Middlesex University CycleScheme Motorcycle Loan Public Transport – Season Ticket Loan Business Mileage Rates for Cyclists Staff Travel Strategy (including charges for SOCJ on site parking) Staff Travel Survey Every employee based at the Hendon Campus is asked to complete a staff travel form. The employee is asked to identify their main mode of travel to work. The information is stored on a database and gives real time information which is used to provide an outline of changes in behaviour and trends. It is a working document and will be made available on the Intranet. The travel form will be updated to request more information about frequency and distance travelled to enable us to measure the CO2 footprint. All staff that have completed and returned a form since its inception will also be asked to supply this additional information. The figure below shows a shapshot analysis of the information available.

A total of 4,453 surveys were received and analysed and revealed that most students (60%) travel to university by public transport, and a further 18% walk or cycle. 14% of students drive alone to reach their campus, and 5% participate in car sharing. The travel data was used to estimate the travel-related carbon footprint of each site. This process will be repeated annually to enable us to measure and record any changes in behaviour. The figure below shows a shapshot analysis of the information available. Staff Business Travel In the academic year 2010-11 we spent more £560,000 on business travel. More than 92% of this value was spent on air travel. We will measure the CO2 footprint and aim to reduce this. Objectives The Travel Plan's over-riding objective is: 'To engage with and encourage staff and students to use more sustainable ways of travelling to Hendon campus through improvements in the quality of provision and more effective promotion of the alternatives.' Measure our travel related carbon footprint, achieve a benchmark and set a target to reduce it. The sub-objectives are: 1: To make the experience of travelling to campus on foot, by bike and by public transport safe and pleasant by continuing to review, and where necessary improve, the quality of facilities and the infrastructure provided. 2: To actively promote sustainable transport options for travel to and from campus (using better and more coordinated promotion), to enable informed decisions about how staff and students travel. 3: To increase the use of active and green travel modes (particularly for shorter trips to campus), and encourage staff and students to build active travel into their everyday routines to support and contribute to wider health initiatives. 4: To reduce the need for students and staff to travel to campus where appropriate. 5: To increase the level of staff and student involvement in suggesting/discussing how travel opportunities to campus can be improved. 6: To raise awareness of the impacts of their travel choices on health, the local environment etc. The operational objective is to link the Travel Plan effectively into related Middlesex University's policies and strategies and to ensure that the University works effectively with external partners to improve provision for walking, cycling and public transport use for students, staff and visitors both on and off campus. Targets STAFF TARGETS Mode of Current Future Target Transport Encourage all able bodied staff who live Walk 5% 8% within 2km of their main campus to walk on a regular basis Aim to increase the existing proportion of Cycle 3% 10% staff cycling to their main campus to 10% Car – single Reduce the amount of single occupancy occupancy 40% 24% journeys. journey Aim to increase the existing proportion of Car Share* 12% 25% staff car sharing Aim to increase the use of public transport Public Transport 28% 33% to Hendon campus to 33%.

Students will be surveyed annually to enable us to measure their travel related carbon footprint and measure the impact. The travel plan will be reviewed annually, all collected data will be collated and new targets will be set appropriately. The annual report will be prepared by the Green Travel & Transport Manager, presented to the Environmental Manager.

When will people realize that GJ is not GSP's coach. he is more just a gameplan/corner man for GSP. He brings GJ up to MOntreal the last few weeks to tweak gameplans and to be in his corner for the fight.

Yeah, you can have whatever opinion you want. I have opinions about certain fighters that a lot of people don't agree with. I was probably out of line calling you an idiot earlier. Just kind of a reflex on here sometimes with some of the people you have to deal with.

I did say it was an observation from the start. I still feel that way about Jackson as a coach, but I recognize that others may not share that opinion.Fair enough?

TORONTO -- (Marketwire) -- 12/31/12 -- As Canadians and the world prepare to say good bye to 2012 and ring in 2013, the travel experts at Cheapflights.ca, the online leader in finding and publishing travel deals, are releasing their annual Top 6 Travel Trend Predictions for 2013. While uncertainty was the buzzword entering 2012, this upcoming year is about creativity and thinking outside the box when it comes to travel. And given that 2012 was an eventful year, and a difficult one at times, the team decided you deserve a bonus and, instead of the regular five travel trends, released six predictions about how Canadians plan to travel in the new year.
Below is a brief glimpse into each of Cheapflights.ca's Top 6 Travel Trend Predictions for 2013:
1. The 'Parental Piggyback' holiday -- join forces and save - With cash tight and no end in sight, most people are still going to be watching their pennies. Our experts are predicting that 2013 will see the 'bank of mom and dad' move into the vacation market in a big way, with the rise of the 'parental piggy back holiday' -- extended family groups getting away together to save cash. "Be very afraid" some will say -- and, ok, this may not exactly be everyone's idea of a 'getaway' but for overworked new parents, and grandparents complaining that they never see their grandchildren, this could be the only means to get an affordable break.
2. "Friend, Share, Like!" the Facebook "place-book" holiday inspiration trend; your virtual holiday album for 2013 - Increasingly, vacation planning starts with browsing through seductive images of blue skies, palm trees and white sandy beaches, followed by pictures of the local hotels and their amenities, right down to the dishes at the breakfast buffet. You can switch to Twitter to get a running commentary (and deals) on local sightseeing options and then take a look at dinner options on Pinterest. Before you book, check out friends' recommendations and advice or see how fellow travellers got on checking-in to the resort you are eyeing. 300 million images are posted to Facebook every day; and holiday photos are a major generator of 'likes' -- and envy. Little wonder that surfing social networks can be a handy way to get holiday inspiration, get a genuine opinion on that hotel -- and perhaps find that out-of-the-way boutique hideaway in the sun that (almost) no-one else knows about. In many ways it's like having your own personalized guide; the ultimate 'try before you buy'. For these reasons the travel gurus at Cheapflights think "place-book" holidays will be all the rage in 2013.
3. And on the flipside...Digital Detox - Ok, so you may have found your holiday on Facebook and you may be a social network junkie, but there's only so much liking, friending, trending, tweeting, sharing and pinning anyone can handle before they're deluged. In 2013, digital detox is increasingly on the travel to-do list. As technology and social media becomes increasingly pervasive, so too does our need to make a conscious decision to turn them off from time to time. With Wi-Fi access on planes and mobile data networks growing and covering more and more of the world, tuning out and taking a break from the steady stream of information is harder to do but more important than ever. Many resorts and cruise ships are turning off their wireless signals and satellite dishes and attracting waves of visitors whose thumbs twitch for a day to two but who, in the end, recharge themselves like never before.
4. The bag-a-bargain abroad ('BABA') holiday. Combine cheap holidays with bargains from abroad to save - With cash-strapped travellers looking for maximum bang for their buck in everything they do, we predict an increasing focus on BABA holidays -- for the uninitiated, that's "bag a bargain abroad". With the internet offering greater transparency on pricing of goods and services in different markets on an almost daily basis -- and cash-strapped consumers looking to tighten their belts -- international shopping holidays can offer significant savings.
5. Sports and events tourism - The 2012 Olympics in London opened a lot of eyes to 'event' tourism -- the once in a lifetime chance to experience a huge sporting spectacle, take in your favourite band in a unique location or watch your team playing a critical road game. And, if anyone has friends on Facebook who visited the London 2012 Games knows, photos from big events are well 'liked'. Sport is a major driver of travel; just witness the 4,500% increase in searches for tickets to Rio on Cheapflights when the host city of the next Olympics was mentioned during the London 2012 closing ceremony. We may not have the same smorgasbord of activity in one place this year, but the bad news for sports widows and widowers is that there's no shortage of international events worth travelling for. We predict that sports, concerts, cultural events and festivals will again be a major driver of travel destinations in 2013.
6. "Economy be damned, I am going on a proper trip" splurge surge - So we've all been watching the pennies but there's only so many staycations we can take. After four years, it seems a lot of us have had enough of not having enough. We've identified four groups who may be opting for a bit more of a 'holiday splurge' than the rest of us this year.
- The 'let's not wait until it's too late-ers'
- The 'pent up demand demanders'
- The 'lump sum-ers'
- The 'let's go do before they're two' crowd

The basic integration architecture, as defined by ESBs, hasn't changed for more than a decade. Most cloud integration providers still rely on an ESB architecture and their proprietary connectors. As a result, enterprise integration projects suffer from constraints of availability and reliability of these connectors that are not re-usable across other integration vendors. However, the rapid adoption of APIs and almost ubiquitous availability of APIs amongst most SaaS and Cloud applications are rapidly redefining traditional integration approaches and their reliance on proprietary connectors. ...

Previous Symbols for ABCA12 Gene
Summaries for ABCA12 Gene
The membrane-associated protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intracellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, and White). This encoded protein is a member of the ABC1 subfamily, which is the only major ABC subfamily found exclusively in multicellular eukaryotes. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
GeneCards Summary for ABCA12 Gene
ABCA12 (ATP-Binding Cassette, Sub-Family A (ABC1), Member 12) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with ABCA12 include ichthyosis, congenital, autosomal recessive 4a and ichthyosis, autosomal recessive 4b. Among its related pathways are Transport of glucose and other sugars, bile salts and organic acids, metal ions and amine compounds and ABC-family proteins mediated transport. GO annotations related to this gene include ATPase activity. An important paralog of this gene is ABCA4.

The process can have many hurdles.
Branding is a tough name game when companies merge. How do you assure customers that they're getting the service they always appreciated after the name changes? When Jed Taylor and Bill McWilliams merged their companies, Missouri Mowing and Columbia Turf, they needed a new name that described their comprehensive service menu.
Mowing and turf were too specific—that left out design/build, irrigation and snow and ice services. The decision to keep one of the companies' names was off the table. So the owners did some brainstorming, McWilliams suggested Columbia LandCare, and the name stuck.
"We wanted to hit home that we are not just a turf company, and we are not just mowing," says Taylor, who heads the company's design/build and snow and ice divisions. "We do so much more than cut grass and fertilize your grass, so that was a big message we needed to get across."
To communicate the new brand, and highlight the services the company offers, the owners needed a way to market separate services while maintaining consistency in the way the company name was being delivered to the public. So they chose a tagline: Keeping it green and growing. And they decided on a theme logo that is slightly altered for each service division.
The message is cohesive yet customized.
"If you glanced at a Columbia Turf truck vs. a Columbia Irrigation truck and didn't look closely, you would think it's the same [logo], but it gets the point across that they are separate divisions and they are operating that way," Taylor says.
But a logo is not enough to get the word out about a new brand. Columbia TurfCare spends about $50,000 on marketing, and dollars mostly go toward radio and print advertisements. "We want to really get our brand in people's minds," Taylor says.
Here's how Columbia LandCare accomplishes that.
• Focus on a name. Your company name should say who you are and what you do. Don't leave customers guessing. Choosing a new name—Columbia LandCare— for the company was especially necessary after adding an irrigation company to the mix.
• Tell your story. Testimonial advertisements are an effective way to give people a true taste of what it's like to do business with your company. Columbia LandCare runs a series of print advertisements in a local magazine that pair a customer/property picture with a comment from that client. "That stuff speaks for itself," Taylor says.
• Keep it consistent. Columbia LandCare unifies its service divisions by using a clean, professional logo that is slightly adapted to reflect each division. The logos and company tagline appear on trucks, advertisements and all company communications. "It's important to keep consistency in your message from top to bottom," Taylor says.
When it comes to hiring, make sure to focus on the most important part: interviewing.
The company has partnered with ACE Franchise Services to boost sales and growth.
The way you treat your clients is a direct result of the culture you have at your organization.

This photograph is a collection of many of our family's Easter decorations, including my wife's silver and polished stone cross pendant, dyed eggs made over the past twenty years in various styles, including some in the Ukrainian Pysanka style, as well as ceramic and Mexican folk art Easter bunnies, a turned wooden egg made by my father, and an egg converted into a kaleidoscope. These are shown with three bowls I turned and finished myself in my early novice days as a woodturner, and backed by a pastel-colored baby blanket we used when our children were babies. I have placed the Christian cross symbols at the center, along with the white dove and Easter lily, because to Christians they are the most important Easter symbols of all. ...
Gary Holmes, photographer: I have always loved to photograph nature, landscapes, abstract, and other found objects of interest. Although I have staged single and group portraits and still life photographs, I prefer the challenge of trying to capture the unpredictable spontaneity of things and events as they are occurring. I started with a Kodak Brownie as a child, but entered the world of real photography with a Canon AE-1 in the late 1970's. I have successfully sold a number of my photographs on Fine Art America, and have won several awards, including an Editors' Choice on 500px, as well as a 5-star Editor's Choice designation in Camerapixo's Hot Shots, Volume 4.

The Powerpuff Girls Rule!!!
Trivia, Quotes, Notes and Allusions
Quotes (5)
Mojo Jojo: (driving a helicopter thing and holding a net) Is that the key? (Flies in front of Bubbles carrying citizens of Townsville) Is that the key? (Bubbles uses her sonic scream which causes Mojo to spin out of control, the propeller tickles the giant fish balloon which makes it laugh, Mojo falls down)
Mojo Jojo: And so my seets, I, Mojo, am Jojo, no mo'. And so, I go-go.
Bubbles: Puppies, puppies, puppies, puppies! All I gotta say is PUPPIES!
Blossom: If you don't behave, I'm going to turn this car around!
Blossom: Hello? Mayor: I LOST IT! I LOST THE KEY! AHHH! Professor Utonium: AHHH! Girls: AHHH! Narrator: AHHH!
Notes (4)
Villain(s): Mojo Jojo, Fuzzy Lumpkins, Him, The Amoeba Boys, The Gangreen Gang, Princess Morbucks, Giant Fish Balloon, Sedusa, Roach Coach (cameo), Lenny Baxter (cameo),Kitty (cameo), Boogie Man (cameo).
In this episode, the only main villains that do not appear are The Rowdyruff Boys.
The narrator (Tom Kenny) said the final phrase of this series, "WHOA! Go, girls, go!"
Mojo Jojo's bus ticket states November 18, 2008, the date this episode was originally supposed to air.
Trivia (9)
The date of Ms. Sara Bellum's bonus checks that the mayor kept hidden buried in the city was November 18th, 1998. The date the TV show premiered on Cartoon Network.
When Mojo Jojo is singing in prison, a man grabs him and slides him over, but if you notice, when Mojo walks in the cell there is no one in it.
Unlike the original series, Bubbles' ponytails are at the back of her head instead of the front.
In a very brief scene with a group of children, Mac and Bloo from Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends can be seen.
When all of the citizens of Townsville are hanging down their heads in shame over the actions of the Powerpuff Girls, Sara Bellum's real face can briefly be seen, making this the first and only time that her real face has ever been seen.
Featured Songs: If I Could Rule the World (parody of Part of Your World sung by Mojo Jojo. Tears For Fears Everybody Wants to Rule the World sung by Mojo Jojo.
This is the very first time that Mojo wears a cap, shirt, and shorts, instead of his normal outfit.
This is not the first time that flash animation was used in the series. Craig McCracken first experimented with the animation style of Flash Animation (prior to the creation of Fosters Home For Imaginary Friends) during a fight scene between The Powerpuff Girls & Him in the season 5 episode "Power-Noia".
Allusions (14)
Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends
Mac & Bloo and Frankie make a cameo.
Xena: Warrior Princess
Frankie and the women in Blossom's fantasy do Xena's war cry.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
The Professor hitting himself in the face with a newspaper, and saying: 'Bad Dad!, Bad Dad!'. Is a reference to a scene in "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", when Dobby repeatedly hits his head on the bed post saying: 'Bad Dobby, Bad Dobby!'.
Talking Dog: "I have nothing to say!"
That's a line Oliver Hardy used in the Laurel & Hardy 1933 film "Dirty Work".
Dramatic Chipmunk At the very beginning of the episode, a parody of the famous YouTube video "Dramatic Chipmunk" was made by Mojo Jojo.
Everybody Wants to Rule The World The song Mojo Jojo was singing when he was alone at his base after the girls got the key is "Everybody Wants to Rule The World" by the New Wave British Band Tears for Fears, on their 1985 album Songs of the Big Chair.
Speed Racer When the Professor pushes the button on the Powerpuffs' dune buggy, it is a reference to Speed Racer.
Wacky Racers The tank Mojo Jojo was driving to get to the key looks almost like The Mean Machine used in Wacky Racers.
