Here's the article
http://news.discovery.com/space/no-time-dilation-for-distant-quasars.html
So the distant quasar is more red-shifted than the closer one, which means the farther one is traveling at a higher velocity, makes sense. My thought is if the quasar is "riding" if you will, on a piece of expanding spacetime, maybe it is not time dilating because it is not moving through spacetime. Similar to the whole thing about riding a piece of warped space to travel faster than light. Any thoughts?
