"Monday, May 3, 2010 UPDATE on NEW TRIAL DATE: Prosecutors have been notified that the new trial date in this matter is August 30, 2010 before the Honorable David Ross. This matter is specially assigned for a date certain. MTB"
.. what does that mean?

That means that the lawyers requested a retired judge to hear the case, so it isn't in the cooker with all of the other old cases on that date, whereby it would probably be postponed again. It means the date the trial is set is the day the trial will start. Old cases and high priority cases can request to be "specially set."
As Anonymous said, they've got a Judge and courtroom waiting on that day, and everyone has advanced notice, so the prosecutors and defense attorneys should both be available. The case should be going to trial.
