This application is related to and claims the benefit of co-pending applications Ser. No. 09/658,771, entitled "Voice Integrated System"; Ser. No. 09/658,781, entitled "Intelligent Voice Bridging"; and Ser. No. 09/659,233, entitled "Message Store Architecture", all filed Sep. 11, 2000, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to the field of transcoding of voice data. Transcoding is the process of converting one format of the voice data into another.
Internet telephony, known as voice over IP (VOIP) is becoming a realistic, cost effective alternative to the traditional public switched telephone networks (PSTNs).
In general, most VOIP applications use a voice encoding format that is different from the voice encoding format used by PSTN networks. Because of the different voice formats used, many of the functionalities that exist for PSTN are not available to VOIP applications unless the functionality is built directly into the VOIP application.
Voice converters and transcoders (VCs) that convert voice data from one format to another are known and can be used to convert data supplied by a VOIP application to PSTN format to allow the VOIP application to utilize PSTN functionalities such as automatic speech recognition (ASR) and text to speech conversion (TTS). The VC can also convert the output of a PSTN functionality to VOIP format. Existing VCs provide such a service by using dedicated DSP resources. A dedicated DSP resource is an entity that is allocated to the voice channel at the very beginning of a process and remains allocated as long as the channel is in use. The DSP resources used to perform transcode operation are full duplex. Both PSTN as well as VOIP networks are also full duplex in nature. Hence to handle a full duplex network a full duplex DSP resource was created, dedicated and used.
Although almost all of the DSP resources are full duplex in nature, most human interaction is half-duplex in the nature and most of the applications operate based on this half-duplex interaction. For example, almost all of the users who use telecommunication applications such as voice mail and informational services applications do not talk as well as listen at the same time. Accordingly, it is not necessary for an application to dedicate and allocate DSP resources for the entire duration of the application.
Based on the above observations, all of these existing applications use the DSP resource to less than 50% of the their capabilities. From this it is evident that a improved voice converter that can utilize the DSP resources more effectively and efficiently is required. Further more such a system must be capable of handling huge number of subscribers.
By virtue of this invention it is now possible to economically mix and match various functional components from VOIP and PSTN networks.
According to one aspect of the present invention, method and a mechanism allows transcoding and scheduling two independent voice data streams from two distinct and different subscriber on to the same full duplex DSP resource.
In one embodiment the voice converter waits for a request for conversion resource on TCP/IP. Based on the type of transcoding that was requested it will allocate a half-duplex resource, perform a transcode operation, and send output data over a UDP interface.
According to another aspect of the invention, look-ahead buffers are utilized to mask network latency and provide a continuous stream of data to the DSP resources.
According to another aspect of the invention, data is transferred in packets having session numbers. The session numbers are utilized to identify different data streams using a single DSP resource.
A further understanding of the nature and advantages of the invention herein may be realized by reference to the remaining portions of the specification and the attached drawings.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a distributed client/server telecommunication system coupled to a managed VOIP network;
FIG. 2 is block diagram and flow chart of a preferred embodiment of the invention; and
FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the packet format used by a preferred embodiment.
FIG. 1 shows a distributed client server system, which is used to provide telecommunication application services to subscribers over managed VOIP network. This system is disclosed in the commonly assigned, co-pending application entitled INTEGRATED VOIP SYSTEM, which is hereby incorporated by reference for all purposes. This diagram shows the use of a voice converter to integrate TTS and ASR subsystems.
VC (Voice Converter): VC is a server that can convert one voice data format into another. For this particular embodiment the VC converts pulse code modulation (PCM) voice data (PSTN type data) into G723.1 format (VOIP type data) and vice versa.
GAS (Gateway Access Server): GAS is the server that runs the telecommunication applications. It has a functional component called voice bridging that enables external systems and features to be integrated into the data path of the application running on the GAS.
TTS (Text To Speech Server): The TTS server is responsible for converting text into speech that can be played to the user. Some of the applications that use this feature implement listening to email and other text based content from the phone.
ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition): The ASR server is responsible for recognition of voice data sent to it and translating it to text that is sent back to the requester.
Existing TTS and ASR servers have been designed to provide functionality to PSTNs and therefore are designed to process voice data in PCM format. Accordingly, a VOIP application requires a VC to utilize these resources.
The art of transcoding using standard DSP resources, such as chip sets manufactured by Texas Instruments, is well known and will not be addressed in detail here. The intelligent voice converter of the present embodiment, enables VOIP applications to efficiently use external functional modules like TTS and ASR. In the following, an upstream resource transcodes a VOIP data format, such as G723.1 or G729 etc., to standard PSTN format, such PCM, and a downstream resource transcodes standard PSTN formats to VOIP formats.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a preferred embodiment of the Voice Converter (VC) architecture and design. In FIG. 2, a TCP/IP and UDP/IP API (application program interface) 22 couples a VOIP application to an UP Stream Resource Manager (USRM) 24 and to a Down Stream Resource Manager (DSRM) 26. The USRM and DSRM are coupled to a block 28 of digital signal processor (DSP) resources. Each DSP resource 30 is full-duplex and includes an upstream half-duplex block 32 and a downstream half-duplex block 34.
The TCP/IP and UDP/IP API 22 utilizes a TCP port to call the voice converter command port. The voice converter command port will wait on the TCP/IP socket for a request. When the command port receives the request it will analyze the request and will identify whether the request is an upstream request or if it is a down stream request. At this point the voice converter command port will dispatch the request to either the upstream resource manager or to the down stream resource manager.
As stated above, each of the DSP resources 30 is divided into two parts; the upstream resource 32 and a down stream resource 34. Each of these resources is a half-duplex channel which together form a full duplex DSP resource. Each of the two half-duplex resources 32 and 34 are assigned to a respective resource manager 24 and 26 where each resource manager maintains a table indicating the availability of each half-duplex resource so that an available resource can be scheduled to satisfy application transcoding requests.
Upstream Resource Manager
The upstream resource manager is responsible for keeping track of up stream DSP resource availability and scheduling. The USRM waits for application requests for up stream conversion and accepts a request if resources are available. The USRM then receives a first buffer of voice data from the application for conversion, keeps the first buffer of data in a look-ahead buffer, and then waits for one more voice data buffer for conversion. After receiving a minimum of two voice buffers filled with data the USRM will forward data to the upstream resource to start the conversion.
A look-ahead buffer is kept because, once the conversion is started on a DSP resource, buffers must continually be fed to the DSP. As described above, the DSP resource is designed for use with a PSTN. In the PSTN data is supplied at a continuous rate so that the DSP resource is designed to output data at a continuous rate. If no data is received the DSP resource outputs silence frames. Thus, if, for any reason, the next buffer is not ready because of network latency etc. then the DSP will start generating silence frames as the output and the DSP resource will always output data at continuous bit rate. Silence frames can cause the transcoded voice to be unintelligible to a listener. The look-ahead cache buffer will mask any network latency in receiving data, always making sure that enough data is available to feed to the DSP and hence ensuring the quality of transcoded voice.
Down Stream Resource Manager
The downstream resource manager is responsible for keeping track of the down stream DSP resource availability and scheduling. Very similar to the upstream resource manager, the down stream resource manager will also wait for the application request for downstream conversion, accepts the conversion request, and identifies an available downstream DSP resources and schedules the downstream on to the DSP resource. Prior to scheduling it maintains a one look ahead buffer to mask any network latency.
System Operation
The operation of the preferred embodiment depicted in FIG. 2 will now be described. Signaling commands from an application are sent to the TCP/IP and UDP/IP interface 22 and all data is sent on UDP. The operation of the USRM will be described first.
The TCP/IP and UDP/IP interface 22 forwards a request from an application to the USRM 24 (arrow 2). The USRM checks its resource availability table to determine which upstream resources are available to service the request. The USRM 24 then schedules an available upstream resource and provides data in VOIP format to the scheduled upstream resource (arrow 10). The USRM 24 also connects (arrow 11) the scheduled upstream DSP resource output back to the UDP stream that sends transcoded data back to the requesting application.
For example, if the requesting application is utilizing the ASR resource then the received voice data in VOIP format is transcoded to PCM format by the upstream resource and sent back to the application for ASR processing.
The operation of the DSRM 26 will now be described. The TCP/IP and UDP/IP interface 22 forwards a request from an application to the DSRM 26 (arrow 3). The DSRM 26 checks its resource availability table to determine which downstream resources are available to service the request. The DSRM 26 then schedules an available downstream resource and provides data in PCM format to the scheduled resource (arrow 7). The DSRM 26 also connects the scheduled downstream DSP resource output back to the UDP stream that sends transcoded data back to the requesting application.
For example, if the requesting application is utilizing TTS services then PCM data output by the TTS is transcoded to VOIP data and sent back to the requesting application.
Note in this example in FIG. 2, the upstream and downstream resources are scheduled as the two-half duplex blocks of a single DSP resource. Thus, twice the performance is gained from on DSP resource so that only a fraction of the DSP resources required by existing systems are required.
The voice converter uses TCP/IP as the command and control channel. Some commands supported in the embodiment include the following
1. Upstream conversion start
2. Upstream conversion stop
3. Upstream conversion cancel
4. Downstream conversion start
5. Downstream conversion stop
6. Downstream conversion cancel
The voice converter sends actual voice data using UDP. The format of the packet is shown in FIG. 3. The packet consists of sequence number that is used to re-arrange packets if they get out of order on the data stream. The packet also has a session flag that is used to keep track of the voice sessions.
By using the session numbers associated with the segments of the voice the application and the voice converter will take care of packets that have higher latency. For example if a user is listening to email. Then the application will play the header with session number one "1". Then the application will continue to play the body of the email and use session number two "2" for it. The advantage of using the session ID is the fact that the application can use multiple simultaneous streams for different sessions. In a given session all packets sent for that session will have same session number.
The invention has now been described with reference to the preferred embodiments. Alternatives and substitutions will now be apparent to persons of skill in the art. For example, different VoIP encoding schemes such as G.726 or CELP encoding may be utilized. Also, commands and data may be exchanged using network protocols other than UDP or TCP/IP. Accordingly, it is not intended to limit the invention except as provided by the appended claims.

Noob here with an old bow ti. My Alps 5R is finally dead bleeding oil all over my bike and dampless. There must be something better by now. Any specific recommendations for replacement?
Also, still running a Judy SL. I would not mind tweaking my front end too.
I am 45 years old, 5'9" 185 lbs and ride mostly single track. Propedal or lockout would be nice. Light, adjustable, reliable, you know, something light as a feather but bombproof.
Thanks in advance.

My reasons for using something like this would be to import my Delicious rss feed as a sort of "What we're reading" feature. One of the reasons I'm not just posting each link to WordPress is that I don't really want a bunch of posts with just a link and no input from me. Therefore, I wouldn't want to create a post for each and every feed item. I'd rather have one post with all of the latest links. A sort of "Link Dump" or "Link Roundup" post like some blogs do.
From the description I'm guessing it can be done manually with a shortcode but I'd like it to happen automatically once a day.

Jealous Younger Sibling YKTTW Discussion
|Jealous Younger Sibling
A (mostly female) younger sibling leery of anyone his or her sibling tries to date.Needs Examples Tropeworthy? Already have?
My Sister Is Off-Limits! is when a relative has veto power over a relationship with a friend of theirs. Big Brother Attraction and Father, I Want to Marry My Brother is when a young girl confuses romantic attraction and familial love, to different degrees. This is a trope for younger (particularly female) siblings, who tend to have less veto power than their older siblings who may not have any desire to have a romantic relationship with their older siblings, but still act like a Clingy Jealous Girl whenever their sibling does try to get into a romantic relationship with anyone. Compare Big Brother Worship and Big Brother Attraction.
Examples:Anime and Manga
- Kobato Hasegawa from Bokuwa Tomodachiga Sukunai is very clingy and jealous when someone makes a move on her older brother Kodaka.
- Shizuru in Candy Boy is very jealous of her older sister Kanade's relationship with Yukino--who is also her older sister.
- In Revolutionary Girl Utena, Nanami lets everybody know that her big brother Touga is the best. She is so obsessed with being onii-sama's sole target of attention that she got rid of his kitten and humiliates a girl from her Girl Posse. After realizing what a Manipulative Bastard her brother is, we see how her hopeless devotion to him is actually quite tragic.
- In the Mai-Otome manga, where Alyssa tries to replace the Otome system with copies of Miyu, which would dramatically alter the military and political landscape of the entire world... so her beloved big sis Natsuki can quit her job as Headmistress of the Otome academy and thus have more free time to spend with her.
- In Degrassi Takes Manhattan there is a rivalry between Holly J. and Fiona for the affections of Declan who is Fiona's twin brother and Holly J.'s boyfriend. Fiona's attitude is "Boyfriends are temporary. Brothers are forever." She has an emotional dependency on Declan and couldn't stand to come second in his life which she makes clear to a whole party of people.
- In "Twilight of the golden witch" from Umineko no Naku Koro ni, six-year old Ange takes an immediate dislike of Beatrice, not completely because she's the witch who killed her family (the six-year old version, when in control, isn't really aware of that), but more out of jealousy, which Beatrice notes and teases Battler for not realizing.
- In My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, everypony assumes this of Twilight when she becomes suspicious of Cadence marrying her BBBBF Shining Armour. However, she was right in being suspicious, as 'Cadence' was really Queen Chrysalis, who was using Shining Armour as a food source.
- On Phineas and Ferb there's Susie to her older brother Jeremy. If nothing else she seems to fit the "doesn't want to lose him" model, as she's fiercely jealous of Candace becoming his new "favorite girl."

DORE, AO3 Edwin Bernard "Ted"
My Gramps, Edwin "Ted" Dore who proudly served with VPB-102 (1944-1945) at NAB Tinian Island, Marianas Islands, passed away at Silver Springs Retirement Home under the watchful eye of Valor Hospice on this past Mother's Day (May 10, 2015) surrounded by his family. He was 90. He loved a good laugh, he loved a good-looking lady and he REALLY loved airplanes. He liked carrot cake, small dogs (not cats so much) and he even liked kids. He grew up in Inglewood, CA. He served at Iwo Jima in the Navy aboard a Liberator as a waist gunner. He was awarded a Distinguished Flying Cross, Silver Star, Purple Heart, and an Army Air Corps Medal for that. He also served in Korea. His eyes sparkled during the Honor Flight we went on together in 2012.

He was an Aviation Ordnanceman. I have to PROVE that he got off the plane in Vietnam when with VP-19. John died on June 4, 2015 of Ischemic Heart Disease caused by Agent Orange. It is listed on his Death Certificate as Ischemic Heart Disease, but still fighting this claim after more than 10 years. Can anyone help?

I was stationed at VP-65 at NAS Point Mugu, California from 1990 to 1994 then had to unfortunately go IRR for the last 2 years of my original enlistment. I had great memories. First times that can never be repeated. 1st time in the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Japan. Wild time and great memories. Special thanks to my literal "right hand man" AW1 Valentino. He always had good guidance for me, I just wish I could have had more time to shine.

I am Retired Navy Naval Aviation Observer (NAO) Flight Meteorologist. All of my paid flight time was in VX-6/VXE-6 aircraft in Antarctica. I have read through the entire Combat Aircrew Wings section. Here is my question: Were WWII Combat Aircrew Wings awarded posthumously to Aircrew Sailors KIA/MIA before BuPers Circular Ltr 90-43, 29 May 1943? My Uncle, AMM1/c William Charles DEWALD was regular Aircrew in SOC/SON a/c in USS HOUSTON CA-30 from before WWII started until he was declared MIA 01 March 1942 when HOUSTON was sunk in the Battle of Sunda Strait. There are surviving Deck Log entries with his name listed as Aircrew. Would like to hear from anyone who has personal knowledge of Combat Aircrew Wings awarded posthumously, or of denied requests for posthumous award of Combat Aircrew Wings.

LONG, ATW2 Clifford C.
I enlisted in the Navy in January of 1962 for the sole purpose of getting to a patrol squadron and becoming part of a flight crew!! I wanted to be an "AIRDALE" just like my older brother. I ended up on the trail of that goal through AT school in NAS Memphis, Tennessee, CIC school in NAS Glynco, Georgia and got my orders to my first squadron, VW-11, NAS Argentia, Newfoundland, Canada. Arrived at NAS Argentia, Newfoundland, Canada on Easter 1963 and was met at the bottom of the aft ladder of the EC-121 that delivered me, by a navy yoeman, who handed me a set of orders to NAS Keflavik, Iceland, where I was to join my crew. It was Crew 4, the Black Widows. Captain Bunce was the Plane Commander, Lt. JG Webb was my CIC officer and I remember that the Flight Engineer was a big redhead Chief by the name of Kellog. I spent 95% of my time deployed to NAS Keflavik, Iceland, and flew as a CIC/RADAR/ECM operator on other crews when crew 4 returned to NAS Argentia, Newfoundland, Canada. I accumulated 1500 Hrs of EC-121K flight time. During my over 100 missions, I saw The volcano Surtsey eruption the morning of Nov. 12 1963, was flying the West Barrier when on November 22, 1963, at 1530 Zulu was notified by OPCON that JFK was shot and flew a 18 hr. mission that day. Found out when we landed that JFK was dead. By the way, the commander of COMBARFORLANT, was Commodore Scarpino. During my VW-11 tour, I got to "abort" to Prestwick Scotland many times and ultimately met and married a Scottish Lassie, who is my current wife of 50 years. Spent many days/nights at the Red Lion Hotel in Ayr. Established a "Willy Victor" room with the help of John Woods the owner/operator. Flew my last mission in mid October 1964, I believe it was on a ASW modified EC-121K Aircraft, BUNO 145940. I received my orders to VAW-33 NAS Quonset Point, Rhode Island. Flew as an operator on the Guppy Aircraft, an AD5W, detatched to the USS Lake Champlain CVS-39, the last of the WWII straight deck carriers. Got a 6 month extension due to world events, deployed aboard ship to take part in the Dominican Republic "flurry". Discharged May 1966 as an ATW2 and returned to my Home town of Huron Ohio. Give me a shout if you want to exchange stories.

VP-47 Mishap - June 9th, 1954
Major James R. O'Moore (SEE: In Memorial for VP-47 lost friends June 9th, 1954) was my cousin. His mother, Sara Hultquist, was my mother's sister. His loss broke her heart. He was her only child. A picture of him in his uniform hangs on my family wall. I was just a baby when he was killed, but I have a picture of him holding me when I was just about 6-months old. I consider myself to be the keeper of his memory, as all other family members are now gone also. Until today, I had just the family account of the plane crash, along with the letter his mother wrote to my mother, telling her about his death. Today, I located this site with the critical information that told the whole story about what happened, and provided these historic photographs that detailed the honorable recovery assistance from the Japanese. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the information presented here.

PETERSON, CDR Roy "Pete" Retired
I enlisted in 1968. I earned my AC wings at NAS Lemoore, California as a helicopter rescue crewman, fly rescue mission in the Sierra Nevada mountains. After two years of shore duty, I received orders to VP-11 as an AT-2. I went through VP-30 at NAS Patuxent River, Maryland trained as in IFT, but when I arrived at the squadron I found out that if I wanted to fly I have to be a radioman. No problem let me fly. I made the short notice deploy to WesPac with VP-11 July-Nov 1972 operating from NAS Cubi Point, Philippines and U-Tapao Royal Thailand Air Force Base, Thailand. After a, very short stint as a civilian, I returned to active duty and changed my rate to AW. After AW "A" school and another pass throught the RAG, I reported to VP-44. Flying the oldest P-3A as SS2 then SS1 I made two deployment NS Rota, Spain / NAF Lajes, Azores, Portugal and NAS Bermuda between 1974-1977 making AW1 along the way. I followed that tour with two years at TSC NAS Sigonella, Sicily, where I really learned acoustic analyis from some great AW's. AW1 Mike Stokes, AWC Al Cox, AWC Mike Cantor and AWC Mel Watkin a great acoustic analyist and one of the best leaders I had in my naval career. En route to shore duty at Naval Weapons Test Squadron (WST) at NAS Patuxent River, Maryland by way of VP-30 I was selected for AWC and was intiated in 1979. A couple of weeks later, I found out I'd been select for an a commission as an Aviation Operations LDO Ensign. My shore duty was cut short and after knife and fork school, I to the USS Ranger, in NS Subic Bay, Philippines for an 8 month deployment to the Indian Ocean. Working in the ASW Module a was promoted to LT(jg) on my second deployment to the Indian Ocean. After 2 years 2 months and 1 day I departed USS Ranger to NAVAVSCHCOM NAS Pensacola, Florida for training as a Naval Flight Officer. VP-10 at NATU Mather Airforce Base, VP-31 and I found myself in Hawaii as an LT NavCom in VP-1, CAC-6. Under the leadership of LT Frank Dombrowski, I quickly qualified as a TC. After a split deployment to NAF Kadena, Okinawa, Japan / NAF Misawa, Japan I earned my Mission Commander designation and a JO crew. Select for the College Degree Program (CDP), with the help of the XO CDR Zambernardi, I made the very hard decision to forgo another VP-1 deployment and took orders to New Hampshire College. Completeing my BS degree in 9 months, transferred to Commander Patrol Wings Atlantic (CPWL) where I was the Aircrew Training Officer. A great job in a great location 1987-1991. From there it was time for my fourth patrol squadron. After my 5th time through the RAG, I reported to VP-8 as a LCDR Department Head. Two deployments to NS Roosevelt Roads, PR and all the det sites, I stretched this tour as long as I could, knowing that as an AW/LDO this was my last active duty squadron. It was a good tour (Tiger, Tiger) and I flew with them from Oct 1991 until June 1995, picking up my P-3 5000 hour pin along the way. Shore duty followed as the Director of Training, Fleet Aviation Specialized Training Group Atlantic (FASO). It was a very interesting job with schools in NAS Brunswick, Maine, NAS Jacksonville, Florida, Mayport, plus all the Marine air stations, not to mention SERE. We worked hard to keep up with all the changes in tmissions, new technology and the impacts on flight crew training. My last tour 1999-2002 was as XO of NAS Souda Bay, Crete, Greece where I retired with over 5500 hours in the P-3 and over 33 years active service. It was a great career. At my retirement ceremony, I was piped ashore then back aboard our 42' sloop Brilliant, where my bride Stephanie spent 5 years cruising the Med, crossing the Atlantic in 2006, the Caribbean, then the US East Coast until last year when we moved ashore in Florida.

GSA's Dave McClure felt some heat at a hearing on IT leadership. (File photo)
Dave McClure of the General Services Administration felt some heat during a House Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on Government Operations hearing on July 25.
House subcommittee troubled over data center updates
Subcommittee Chairman John Mica (R-Fla.) and Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) pummeled McClure for setting a poor example in IT decision-making for other agencies to follow.
GSA, Mica said, has only closed one data center in three years, despite having identified 115 non-core data centers ripe for closing or consolidation.
The hearing was held to discuss the status of federal IT initiatives, including the Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative led by GSA and the Office of Management and Budget. Mica was on the attack.
"Then we've got McClure here, from GSA, you guys haven't set a very good example in operation," Mica said, after listening to testimony from Federal CIO Steve VanRoekel and Dave Powner of the Government Accountability Office.
McClure answered that GSA has planned to close 38 data centers by the end of fiscal 2013 and 47 by the end of fiscal 2014, but did not deny GSA had only closed one over the past three years.
However, other committee members, including Meadows, were skeptical of the ambitious numbers expected in the two months remaining in the fiscal year, given the track record.
"Where does the buck stop?" Meadows asked, staring at McClure.
McClure responded that the agency CIO "owns the issue" and the "head of the agency is ultimately responsible," noting that he is simply "the head of an office that provides tools" to get the job done. McClure is associate administrator of GSA's Office of Citizen Services and Innovative Technologies
Meadows, staring at McClure, asked what would happen if GSA doesn't make the closure target.
"I think you should ask for an explanation," McClure said, suggesting the responsibility fall to GSA CIO Casey Coleman.
Meadows was not satisfied.
"We have a whole bunch of people that come and give testimony, but really don't have responsibility for implementing those things," Meadows said, clearly annoyed. "Hearing after hearing and nothing gets done. I think you have three core (data) centers, 115 non-core, and you've closed one in the past three years. Now we're going to ramp it up. Why is that?"
Subcommittee Ranking Member Gerry Connolly, (D-Va.) said GSA's move to close the data centers, announced after the subcommittee criticized GSA during a field conference it was invited to but didn't attend, looked like a disingenuous attempt to appease the subcommittee.
McClure responded that it "might have the appearance of that," but explained that the agency was not finished collecting data, thus its delay in publicizing planned closures.

The real problem is agencies are not incentivized to save. Their reward if they cut costs and claim savings is less budget and more importantly, less operational flexibility than they have now. So why should they voluntarily "get in the box"?
Until congress realizes this and figures out a way to reward rather than punish "success", they have no one to blame for their frustration.
