”Kevin Costner just showed up”, wrote Kitty Felde, “and is sitting at the end of our press row. Perhaps when the House Energy and Commerce Committee is done with BP's Tony Hayward, Costner will be able to tell his story. Or maybe we'll go out to Nats Stadium and "have a catch." Twenty minutes later....no testimony. Just watching. Costner has left the hearing room.” At the following link:

Another excerpt from Kitty Felde: “Democratic Congresswoman Grace Napolitano of Norwalk has stepped in. She says she spotted Costner in a House office cafeteria and stopped by to chat. She describes his invention as a “gizmo” machine that is skimming very, very successfully. "I have a great interest in that," she says. "So we’re trying to connect him with the interior’s person, direct person who can begin to look at this." At the following link:

From “Live Blogging BP’s Hayward on Capitol Hill” by Gabriella Stern, dated June 17, 2010: 12:37pm: Is that Bull Durham watching the hearing? Whoever it is, it looks like Kevin Costner. 12:41pm: Regarding the Kevin Costner sighting - he testified at yesterday's oil spill hearing, according to news reports. He's apparently helping suggest technical fixes for the clean-up. 1:04pm: A colleague tells me Kevin Costner's character in the film, Bull Durham, wasn't named Bull Durham. It was Crash Davis. Mea culpa. At the following link:

Excerpt from article by Gary Perilloux: BP’s Curry said that’s being done, pointing to the order of 32 oil-separating devices from a company controlled by actor Kevin Costner. Another 10 devices have been ordered for removing beach tar deposits, though Curry couldn’t say how much the company will spend on either device. To date, BP has spent $1.3 billion on the response to the April 20 Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion that left 11 dead and spawned the Gulf floor leak. At the following link:

Excerpt from USAToday: The water-cleaning centrifuges sold by movie star Kevin Costner to BP for oil spill clean-up testing have received a thumbs-up from at least one scientist -- its inventor. "A fleet of these could make a significant impact," says Dave Meikrantz of the Energy Department's Idaho National Laboratory, who patented the devices with INL in 1990, and later sold the rights to Costner's company in 1993. "It is most gratifying to make a technical contribution during the past decades that can assist today in a major environmental incident in the Gulf of Mexico." At the following link:
