    3:18 refers to the DMP's senior vice president for digital and client solutions, a post Kelly has held since March 2009, according to her LinkedIn profile.

    Agree with 3:18. It will be Patricia Kelly. This has been in the works for a long time, probably since Hunke came onboard at USAT.

    DMP's next leader will be a blast from the past. Derek Osenenko.

    Osenenko is a monster.

    Tricia Kelly is an unimaginative bean counter that sucks the life out of small children and pets. I pity anyone who has to work with her.

    Then again, it's just more of the "accountants in charge" mentality from Martore: Saleh, Maslowski, Motiff, and now Kelly. How ironic that the reins of the company are being given to the support staff.

    In e-mails from readers, several people have suggested that Paul Anger -- currently the Freep's top editor -- could move up to CEO.

    That would be interesting. But Ed Humphrey is the guy, coming back home.

    I'm told Hunke will be attending a 10 a.m. local time meeting in Detroit today to announce Ellwood's successor.

    Jim, Patricia Kelly actually was promoted last week to replace Janet Hasson who was named Publisher in Westchester.

    10:20 That would appear to rule her out.
