A natural language date parser in Javascript

/*
    
    The parser for parsing US's date format that begin with month's name.
    
    EX. 
        - January 13
        - January 13, 2012
        - January 13 - 15, 2012
        - Tuesday, January 13, 2012

    Watch out for:
        - January 12:00
        - January 12.44
        - January 1222344
