Wait, there's a character before "ت" and after "ع". It looks like "ت" followed by an Arabic word.
Let's look at the whole image again. It's quite blurry, but I can see some Arabic characters. I'll just transcribe them.
Line 1: فَقَدْ شَهِيدَ الْمُؤَرِضَةُ
Line 2: فَقَدْ شَهِيدَ الْمُؤَرِضَةُ
Actually, it's hard to read from this blurry image without much help. Let's try to transcribe what we can.

OBITUARY
Second-year law school student died on Friday
BY ANDY GREENHAW agreenhaw@kansan.com
KU students lost a fellow Jayhawk during fall break.
Andrew Mullin, a KU graduate in the School of Law, died at his home in Lawrence on Friday, Oct. 17.
Jill Jess, associate director of KU news and media relations, said she didn't know how Mullin died. The Douglas County
Coroner's Office was not available to comment on the incident.
Gail Agrawal, dean of the School of Law, said Mullins' friends and teachers would remember him for his "dry wit and ability to turn a phrase." After rereading his personal statement he wrote when applying to Law
Mullin
School, she said.
"He had a way with words that gave you some insight into his soul and himself as a person — his self-deprecating humor; a little sense of irony."
Mullin was the second Law student to have died in recent months.
"One of the hardest things I have had to do as a dean is attempt to console grief stricken families and classmates." Agrawal said in an e-mail. "There is a special pain and sorrow in mourning a student, inevitably younger, with so much promise to be
fulfilled and so much life to be lived. We extend our deepest sympathies to Andrew's family and friends"
Chancellor Robert Hemenway also sent his condolences to Mullin's family and friends.
"On behalf of the entire University community... our hearts go out to them at this time of great loss," Hemenway said in an e-mail.
Mullin, a Summerfield Scholar, was a second-year law student who graduated with distinction with a bachelor's in English from the University in 1998. He participated in the University Honors Program and was a member of Phi Beta Kappa. He also studied at the American University in Cairo, Egypt.
A memorial service is scheduled for 10 a.m. on Thursday at Asbury Methodist Church, 5400 W. 75th St., in Prairie Village.

Milk mustaches promote importance of calcium
BY JOE PREINER

Got milk?
According to the National Dairy Council, three 8-ounce glasses of milk can account for almost all daily calcium needs. A diet lacking in calcium can lead to unhealthy bones, and milk provides the body with nine essential nutrients. Along with being a good source of calcium, milk
Ann Chapman, dietitian for Student Health Services, said students were not getting enough calcium in their daily diets. She said most students who went in to have their eating habits evaluated didn't drink milk. Chapman said it was more common for students to drink pop, water or iced tea with their meals.
Student Health Services hopes students do. A milk mustache event held at the Student Recreation Fitness Center Tuesday aimed to educate students about the importance of milk in their diets.
Sarah Mann, Overland Park senior, said she had never been much of a milk-drinker. Whether living with her parents during high school or living on her own, Mann said she had milk with her cereal. Otherwise, the occasional glass was all she drank.
"It's amazing how much milk consumption has gone down" she said.
But not all students can get their calcium from milk or dairy products. The National Dairy Council estimates about 25 percent of the U.S. population suffers from lactose intolerance. The condition doesn't mean those individuals can't consume dairy products, it means their bodies can't break down lactose, a key ingredient in dairy products. The National Dairy Council suggests that people with the condition supplement their diets with yogurt or aged cheese, such as cheddar.
also offers a large amount of vitamin D, which helps bones absorb the calcium.
Diana Spathis, Chicago senior, discovered she was lactose intolerant halfway through her freshman year. She includes calcium in her diet by taking calcium pills daily. She said avoiding problem foods had never been difficult.
Chapman said college students often removed milk from their diets without thinking of the long-term effects. She said students could go four years without drinking milk and not give it a second thought because they didn't feel the effects.
Spathis said she didn't often think about the prevalence of calcium in her diet, but would if it became a health issue.
"I've always been a really picky eater," Spathis said. "It was never really a problem. I just eat what I like. If something makes me sick, I stop eating it."
"Your bones aren't going to feel weak now," Chapman said. "You aren't going to notice it until you get older. Strengthening bones is a process that's years in the making."
Tuesday's event took place in the front entrance of the recreation center. Students
were offered free samples of white, chocolate or soy milk. In addition, students could have their picture taken wearing milk mustaches, win prizes and learn more about the importance of calcium.

This is the second year Student Health Services has given out free milk, and it plans to have another event in the spring. Chapman said students should drink more milk to keep their bones strong as they grow older.
