The phase boundaries and the critical end point (CEP) are fundamental
characteristics of hot and dense nuclear matter. Recent experimental
and theoretical evidence for a crossover transition to the quark gluon
plasma in heavy ion collisions at RHIC, have led to a resurgence of
experimental interest in the CEP. The role of stationary state
thermodynamic observables in the search for the CEP is well
known. However, a complimentary set of dynamic observables could play
an even more important role. I will argue that it is possible to
locate the CEP via study of the $\mu_{B}$ and $T$ dependence of both
the specific shear and the bulk viscosities. and give a rudimentary
estimate for the location of the CEP (i.e mu_cep and T_cep) using
existing data.
