ADV. FOR WKD. EDS., JUNE 26-28–An earlier print of the movie ‘Gone With the Wind’, top, is shown in comparison with a new print of the film, bottom, prior to its re-release in theaters Friday by New Line Cinema. The new version brings digitally reproduced sound, Technicolor’s new dye-tranfer printing process and the original screen dimensions to a generation that has seen the 1939 classic only on TV or video. The 1.33:1 width-to-height ratio will afford 1/3 more image than audiences have seen in decades. (AP Photo/New Line Cinema)

Nevada Democrats are hoping to avoid a repeat of the chaos that ensnared the Iowa caucuses, as voters gather across the Silver State on Saturday to make their presidential preferences known. Iowa’s process cratered this month following a rushed effort by state Democrats to deploy a mobile app for caucus volunteers to report results. Democrats in Nevada were going to use the same app developer as Iowa did, but quickly sidelined those plans. They will still be relying to some extent on technology to assist in counting and reporting results, though, and like Iowa, they will have paper backups. (AP Photo/John Locher, File) WX404 WX404
