text: During 2004, we generated free cash Öow of $388.2 million (consisting of cash provided by operating 
  activities of $666.3 million, less purchases of property and equipment of $283.8 million, plus proceeds from the 
  sale of property and equipment of $5.7 million), which substantially exceeded our objective. Our free cash 
  Öow was positively impacted by lower than expected cash taxes due to bonus depreciation and our change in 
  tax method related to certain landÑll costs. 
  
  In April 2004, our board of directors increased our share repurchase authorization from $200.0 million to 
  $275.0 million. During 2004, we used our free cash Öow to repurchase approximately 9.6 million shares of our 
  common stock for $266.1 million. Also, during the third quarter of 2004, our board of directors increased our 
  quarterly dividend to $.12 per share.
