When CNN announced the name of the suspect who opened fire at Fort Hood on Thursday, Maliha Zuberi's heart sank.

The Pakistani-American grad student knew that Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan spelled trouble for her and those like her.

"Right away, any Muslim knows that that's a Muslim name," said Zuberi, who is the president of the Muslim Student Association at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. " So you're like, ‘Oh no, what are they going to say? Why did it have to be a Muslim name? Islam is going to come under attack because of this.'"

Expansive road construction, widening and watershed construction have disrupted business for many stores as parking has become scarce and construction has blocked off roads.

Although some businesses have closed their doors, UR Grocery, at the corner of 18th and P streets, one of many Middle Eastern grocery stores in Lincoln, plans to not only carry on through the construction, but intends to expand, despite seeing a sharp decline in business during the last three months.
