Updated input data for Assignment #1 (take 2)

Unfortunately, in trying to shield you from the ugliness of real data we have fallen victim to it ourselves. As such, we had to update once again the input data file for assignment #1. The updated set was posted at http://db.cs.pitt.edu/courses/cs1520/fall2012/assign.html#1 Only the .txt files were changed, slightly.
