Answer 1

Your format is incorrect and here is why

Sun, 15 Jan 2012 17:09:48 +0000
DDD, DD MMM YYYY HH:MM:SS +HHMM
^^^  ^^     ^^^^    ^^ ^^ ^^^^^ < Treating the last 2 digits of the timezone as months
^^^  ^^     ^^^^    ^^ ^^ ^^^ < Treating the first 2 digits of the timezone as hours
^^^  ^^     ^^^^    ^^ ^^ ^ < Hardcoding the + (timezone can handle that)
^^^  ^^     ^^^^    ^^ ^^ < Using fractional seconds (not a big deal)
^^^  ^^     ^^^^    ^^ < Using months instead of minutes
^^^  ^^     ^^^^ < Using weak year instead of calendar year
^^^  ^^ < Using day of year instead of day of the month
^^^ < Using day of year instead of day of the week

Here is the correct format "EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss ZZZ"
