Traveling to the middle east without a cell phone can be a disaster. Before I left, I searced and called every international cell phone company to find the best deals. I was not very happy with the service of most places. Thats when I found a site www.travelcell.com They had the best customer service and helped me find the best plan for my trip. I also got a MiFi which is a wirless hotspot that connects up to 5 devices with internet and received unlimited date in Israel!! A 718 number was added to my phone which allows people in the U.S.A. to call my phone free of charge. THey seriously have amazing deals! So cheap everyone should go there when traveling www.travelcell.com

WASHINGTON — With the stroke of his pen, President Barack Obama has sacked souvenirs federal agencies buy with taxpayer money to promote their work.

The ban he signed Wednesday is part of a broader executive order to cut some $4 billion of dollars in waste and make government more efficient. Some office equipment will simply be more scarce, and fewer cell phones and laptops will be issued.

Obama has been using his executive powers on modest proposals — Wednesday’s order targets trinkets like coffee cups, T-shirts and pens — to promote job creation and help homeowners.

With such orders, signed in Oval Office ceremonies, Obama is trying to demonstrate that he is engaged in measures large and small and to distinguish himself from what he argues is a pretty unproductive Congress. Lawmakers are in the middle of a more gargantuan task — cutting deficits by at least $1.5 trillion over the next 10 years.

“It doesn’t replace the importance of work the Congress needs to do in coming up with a balanced, bold plan to reduce our deficit,” Obama said as he prepared to sign his administrative order. “But it indicates once again that there are things that we can do right now that will actually deliver better government, more efficiently, more consumer friendly for less money.”

The order directs government agencies not only to reduce the authorizations for technology equipment, but also requires cutting the size of the executive vehicle fleet.

It also encourages agencies to use technology to save money, including teleconferences and online seminars to reduce travel and online publishing to cut down on publication costs.

Overall, the president aims to cut spending in the areas mentioned in the order by 20 percent.

“We believe we can get better results for less using technology,” Obama said.
