title: Parsing date from text using Ruby
body: <p>I'm trying to figure out how to extract dates from unstructured text using Ruby.</p>
  
  <p>For example, I'd like to parse the date out of this string "Applications started after 12:00 A.M. Midnight (EST) February 1, 2010 will not be considered."</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions?</p>
