   consequences of pleading guilty even if did not follow the exact 
   requirements of Rule 11, and defendant has not shown that he would 
   have made a different decision if he had known of the particular 
   mechanism by which the higher sentence could be imposed; 
   government's request for an upward departure did not violate the plea 
   agreement, as the government reserved the right to make a departure 
   motion in the agreement.
