We focus on the calculation of shear viscosity from the effective coupling of transverse gravitons and present some explicit examples.<br />Comment: 10 pages, invited presentation for the 9th Asia-Pacific International Conference On Gravitation And Astrophysics (ICGA 9), June 28-July 2, 2009, Wuhan, China; for the proceedings to be published by World Scientific
