Use it instead of punctuation :-) Then start the new sentence like this with a capitalized letter. I still haven't figured out how to use it inside of parenthesis, so I try to avoid doing so.

Nothing. The news describing the leaks indicate the NSA is doing less than I imagined. I'm more concerned about private businesses collecting data about me than I am the government.
