[dba-SQLServer]Proper case?

Or how about this one - this seems to take into account the punctuation
mark.

create  FUNCTION ReturnCasedString (@Instr varchar(8000))

RETURNS varchar(8000) AS  
BEGIN 

If @Instr is Null or
  Len(@instr)=0 or
  @instr=space(len(@instr)
  Return @Instr
  
Declare @Workstr varchar(8000)
Declare @Punct varchar(20)
Declare @PunctLen int
Declare @StrPos int
Declare @PunctPos int
Declare @PunctChar char(1)

Set @Punct=''' ,([{<'
Set @punctLen=len(@punct)

Set @WorkStr=LOWER(@Instr)  

Set @PunctPos=1
While @PunctPos <= @PunctLen
Begin
   Set @punctChar=substring(@punct, at punctPos,1)
   set @StrPos = charindex (@punctChar, @WorkStr, 1)
   if @StrPos>0
      Begin
           While @strpos > 0
                 begin
                    Set @charpos = @strpos + 1
                    If @charpos <= @punctlen
                       begin
                         Set @substring(@workstr,charpos),1) =
UPPER(@substring(@workstr,charpos),1))
                       end   
                     Set Strpos=charindex(@punctchar, at workstr, at charpos) 
                  end 
       end
  Set @punctPos=@PunctPos+1 
 End

return @Workstr

END

Is there a "proper case" function within SQL Server?  I know that there is 
UPPER and LOWER, but what will help me convert the following:

"the quick brown fox jumped.  it is over for the lazy dog."

to

"The quick brown fox jumped.  It is over for the lazy dog."

Thanks in advance,
Billy
