Container Networking Connectivity ModelsPosted by Juan in VIP Perspectives on Dec 14, 2018 4:46:45 PM
Application containerization, or lightweight process virtualization, is a method used for deploying multiple isolated applications over a single host accessing the same operating system (OS). By using application containers, you can run many containerized processes or apps on a machine, each process giving the user the illusion that it runs over a dedicated OS.
In this blog post, we'll cover an introduction to this kind of application wrap-up, covering the main differences between virtual machines (VM) and containers and describing the basics of container networking models.
Containers vs Virtual Machines
VMs were a huge step in the IT industry, allowing a big step towards hardware efficiency. Hypervisors abstract the VMs from the physical hardware underneath, allowing the assignment of resources to VMs on demand. Every time you need a VM, you will need to install a brand new copy of the preferred OS as if it were installed over dedicated hardware. Modern hypervisors support resource over-subscription, but that is out of the scope of this introduction to containers.
Containers can be seen as an evolution of VMs for some environments. Instead of virtualizing the physical hardware, container engine provides an abstraction of the machine OS to the containerized applications. That kind of virtualization provides an equivalent resource isolation with some additional benefits, such as an additional physical resource efficiency and increased application portability. Each container packages application code, runtime, system tools, libraries, and settings, and runs as an isolated process in user space.
Containers include many advantages over VMs. They are lighter, smaller in size, and much faster in daily operation than VMs:
- Lightweight: containers require much less compute resources compared to VMs.
- Scalable: higher resource efficiency, because the containers that one physical machine can support are orders of magnitude bigger than the VMs a virtual machine supervisor can handle.
- Fast: booting a container is faster that booting a VM. Creating one container unit is shorter than the required time to create a brand new VM.
- Portable: containers package code and dependencies together, making it very suitable for dynamic development environments with lean development practices.
- Flexible: containers work on bare-metal, cloud providers, VMs, etc…
- Isolation: provides advantages in security and provides a better transition in the software life cycle.
Both VMs and containers use two kinds of abstractions. While the former run over abstractions at the physical layer, the latter run over abstractions at the application layer. These two kind of abstractions, hardware and application abstractions, can be mixed up together, in the sense that it's usual to run containers inside VMs.
Container Networking
We'll include here a description of the most common types of container connectivity. Every specific containerization tool may provide some different ways to provide that connectivity. This is not a extensive list. The intent here is to provide some case to build upon towards more complex internetworking designs.
Linux containers are based on the namespace and cgroup subsystems (lightweight process virtualization). By default, newly created containers are isolated from each other. Each container runs on a different namespace and has available an isolated filesystem. By default, when you create a new container, that container doesn't have a way to communicate with other containers on different machines. That's why container networking is an important process in service delivery.
Connectivity models
Let's start with a brief overview of the container connectivity models. For this section, I'll assume that you have a working Docker setup ready on your system.
By default, the system creates tree connectivity modes for us. We can list the existing container networks on the current Docker host typing the next command:
$ docker network ls
157716241d1d bridge bridge local
9ab30453a4a9 host host local
6f8fb6ce5b4f none null local
Docker uses bridge mode as the default connectivity model for new containers:
$ docker network inspect bridge
"Name": "bridge",
"Subnet": "172.17.0.0/16"
"com.docker.network.bridge.name": "docker0",
"com.docker.network.driver.mtu": "1500"
In case we need a different connectivity model for our application, we can use the network driver that best suits our needs. With the info command we can retrieve a list of the available network plugins in the system:
$ docker info
Plugins: Network: null bridge host ipvlan macvlan overlay
This is a brief description of the available plugins in the system:
- Null/None: the container receives their own network stack, but without external connectivity. It has available a loopback interface for testing purposes. This mode is useful for isolating containers.
- Bridge: this is the default container connectivity model when working with Docker (docker0). The bridge connectivity acts like a virtual switch interconnecting every container on the same machine. For external connectivity, needs NAT.
- Host: host networking eliminates the need for NAT, improving networking performance. In this mode, the container has access to all host's network interfaces. This connectivity model has the drawback that may suffer from port conflicts.
- Underlay: underlay connectivity drivers expose host interfaces directly to containers. This model brings a simpler model than the bridged counterpart, removing the need for port mapping overhead. MACvlan and IPvlan are two common underlay network drivers. Both allow the creation of multiple virtual network subinterfaces behind the host physical interface. IPvlan shares the same MAC address for all the containers in the same host, so you need to evaluate if your application needs visibility of the mac address of every container before going for one or another connectivity model.
- Overlay: overlay connectivity models are used to interconnect containers across containerization hosts. Tunneling technologies allow for spanning your network across many hosts. VXLAN is one of the common technologies available to provide this kind of interconnection.
|External connectivity
|No external connectivity
|Host gateway
|Underlay gateway
|No external connectivity
|Double (VXLAN)
|Use case
|Tests, Isolation
|Default connectivity for intra-host comm.
|Need full networking control or full performance
|Containers needing direct underlay connectivity
|Containers connectivity across different hosts or clouds
|Traffic pattern
Usually, containerization engines are flexible enough to suit your application networking needs. In a software development, the election of one connectivity model over another may require some time and analysis of the pros and cons of each approach. For projects of mid to large size, the evolution of the selected connectivity model over time is not rare. That's why it's not bad to start as simple and light as possible and evolve towards a more complex model as your project grows and scalability problems potentially start to arise.
In this section we're going to show you a simple example of how you can create an overlay network that can be used to interconnect containers hosted by different machines, even when they are deployed on different cloud providers.
Overlay networks have some advantages related to scalability and flexibility, but the increase of east west traffic between containerized applications means that some additional security mechanism must be in place to ensure security and visibility of that kind of traffic.
This next list summarizes the steps of the next configuration example:
- Creation of a new Swarm Master Node.
- Adding a new worker to the Swarm.
- Creating an attachable and secure (control and data plane) secure overlay network (based on VXLAN interconnection technology).
- Create containers in different hosts, joining them to the overlay network.
- Test connectivity between containers.
First, let's create a new Swarm Master Node, with the corresponding IP listening address:
[node1] $ docker swarm init --advertise-addr=192.168.0.5
As a second step, let's add a new worker to the Swarm. Of course, you can add more workers on demand, but for simplicity, we are going to add only one additional worker here. For that, add the next command on the second host using the token printed on the Master Node:
[node2] $ docker swarm join --token S...zetqxy8 192.168.0.5:2377
Now it's time to create a new attachable and secure overlay network.
[node1] $ docker network create --driver=overlay --attachable --opt encrypted mi-red
Create a container on each host and attach it to the overlay network
[node1] $ docker run -it --name debian-node-1 --network mi-red debian
root@0b3a39784cd3:/# ip a
13: eth0@if14: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1424 qdisc noqueue state UP group default
link/ether 02:42:0a:00:00:05 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff link-netnsid 0
inet 10.0.0.5/24 brd 10.0.0.255 scope global eth0
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
[node2] $ docker run -it --name debian-node-2 --network mi-red debian
root@1e630784d238:/# ip a
13: eth0@if14: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1424 qdisc noqueue state UP group default
Check connectivity:
[node1] root@0b3a39784cd3:/# ping -c2 10.0.0.4
PING 10.0.0.4 (10.0.0.4) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 10.0.0.4: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.285 ms
64 bytes from 10.0.0.4: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.156 ms
Note that the MTU is adjusted to a lower value than 1500 bytes. That's needed to accommodate the VXLAN header and the data plane encryption.
Containers network design is not any different than classical network design. It faces the same challenges, and the solutions to them are found on the well-known classical literature, each one with their benefits and trade-offs.
What containers bring to the table is a new model for application automation and deployment. Containerization tools provide a wide range of networking configuration options to design your own user defined networks. It's up to you to select the option that best suits your application networking needs.
After this brief explanation, we're ready to get deep into more convoluted network designs with new components used on real production deployments, like load balancers, web servers, databases, security elements and message queues interacting together. Perhaps this might be covered in the next post.
Thank you very much for reading!

Cataloging the Gospels' Hebraisms: Part Five (Parallelism)
Parallelism is a central feature of Hebrew poetry. It permeates the words of biblical poet and prophet. The frequency with which parallelism occurs in the utterances of Jesus is surprising, and leads inevitably to the conclusion that the Greek source (or, sources) used by the authors of Matthew, Mark and Luke derive(s) from a Greek translation (or, translations) of Hebrew documents.
Cataloging the Gospels' Hebraisms: Part Four (Parallelism)
Doubling, or repeating, is a characteristic feature of Hebrew. Hebrew loves to say things twice (or more!) by adding equivalents. Words, phrases, sentences, and even stories, are doubled (or tripled).

Holiday Mini Sessions 2018
I'm back to my desk this week after an incredibly relaxing holiday break with my little family. I sure needed it after the whirlwind that capped off the end of 2018. After welcoming a new little peanut to our family in October, it was challenging to say the least to hop back into the studio just 2 weeks after her arrival. I eased back at first, with a few newborn shoots for folks who were very kind and flexible to wait on my recovery. Then, thankfully, with the amazing support of my spouse and family to care for our newborn, we also rallied to make our regularly scheduled Holiday Mini sessions happen without a hitch. They were another huge success this year and it was so nice to see so many familiar faces and new families I hope to also see again. A whopping 67 sessions and 112 little ones would be enough to spin my head any other year, but just weeks after having a baby — I'm really not sure what I was thinking. 😉 But, we did it – and I'm so proud and thankful for the support of my family, my amazing editing assistant Julia Burke, and to everyone who participated in this year's sessions. I didn't have enough gas in the tank to create a post before the New Year, but I wanted to share a highlight reel of some of the adorable faces that cheered me along the way, when winding down 2018.
A huge THANK YOU to everyone for your continued support for our little family business. We wish you all the best — health, happiness and abundance in the New Year ahead.
Wendy, Leigha, Emelia and Dani

MINI Cooper News (559)
MINI Cooper Rumors (21)
MINI Club Events (1)
Editorial (1)
The MINI E will become the BMW ActiveE - and then the Megacity - after a second series of real-life driving tests made possible by the first 600 lessees who gave feedback on their MINI E. Are you following this?
BMW has announced that the new test markets for their BMW ActiveE electric vehicle will include all the usual suspects: New York, L.A., San Diego, San Francisco, Boston, etc. The concept these real-life drivers will be driving is based on the BMW 1-Series with BMW's electric drive train and lithium-ion battery pack. It will have a real-world range of 100 miles and a plug-in time of 4 hours to start up again.
The reason BMW is moving so confidently forward with this project is thanks in large part to the MINI E, which was tested largely on the same roads across the country. Part of that confidence comes from the real-world fact that the first series of test drivers took most of their round trips at less than 30 miles, well within the comfortable cruising range of the EV. The handling and the acceleration are reported to be similar to that of the normal gas-powered 1-Series.
Then, after all of this testing (assuming they're happy with the results) BMW is prepared to launch the Megacity Vehicle sometime in 2013, no doubt with a MINI E version soon to follow. Stay tuned...

text: The Ministry of Transport and the Israel Innovation Authority today announced the opening of aid request tracks for smart transportation pilot ventures. The government will offer an array of aid programs totaling NIS 100 million per year for pilots in various technological spheres. The amount of the transportation part now being published will be NIS 30 million a year. The program is for five years, although how much will be invested each year is unknown. The transportation program, which was drawn up in cooperation with the Alternative Fuels and Smart Transportation Administration in the Prime Minister's Office, will help finance advanced testing requiring construction of facilities, use of vehicle fleets, fuel, and of course technological development. The companies taking part in are also likely to receive permission to deviate from the current regulatory restrictions and a tax exemption in certain cases. Government sources report that many requests for tests have been received from industry and startups, many of which have been rejected up until now because of an inability to respond to them. These requests included requests for tests of autonomous and semi-autonomous driving technologies, among them new autonomous cars and accessory equipment for existing cars; new technologies and algorithms for regulating traffic; smart adaption of traffic lights management; fuel saving technologies; and use of environmentally friendly fuels. Sources inform "Globes" that the IDF is also interested in transportation innovation and is negotiating to open IDF test fields for civilian tests in these areas that will accommodate trials under controlled conditions, as required by the world's major auto companies. The IDF will have immediate access to the most up-to-date technologies in the world. Among other things, this involves tests at the Israel Weapons Test and Evaluation Center (Shdema) site in the Negev and another test site in the Palmachim area in central Israel. Tests will also be facilitated at several civilian sites, including the Dalton landing strip , which was converted to a motorcycle race track; the new race track in Beer Sheva, which also accommodates urban transportation simulations; Sde Teiman, which facilitates tests of drones and light aircraft, as well as smart vehicles; and the Arad landing strip, which was also recently converted to a race track. The startups will also be provided with new road segments not yet open to the public, such as the additional Ayalon Highway lane going north in the direct of Glilot Junction, and parking lots that will be closed for test periods. The possibility of turning spaces in kibbutzim, factories, and quarries into transportation test sites closed to the public is also under consideration. RELATED ARTICLES Ori Yogev sets up smart transport organization Kandel: Israel can lead in transport energy alternatives The traffic control centers of the major cities will be used as additional test sites. The leaders in this area are Tel Aviv, Haifa, Jerusalem, and Beer Sheva, as well as Ashdod, which has been declared the test city in Israel for smart transportation, with tests already taking place there. The traffic control centers will allow tests by companies seeking to streamline traffic control and make it smarter and to integrate smart public transportation in order to relieve the transportation load in municipal transportation. Israeli transportation technology companies can obtain monetary support up to 50% of their approved R&D costs in the framework of the program. 75% support will be given for a program with potential for extraordinary influence on streamlining and improving transportation. This track offers sharing of the risk incurred in the development process but does not require sharing of profits or future success. The supported company will repay the money it received from the Innovation Authority through royalties on sales, but only if the venture reaches the commercial stage.

Paul Sparrow was our gentle and conscientious guide for the five glorious days of walking the Shropshire hills, laden down with anoraks, waterproof trousers, hats and scarves – none of which were needed as we basked in warm spring sunshine.
Everyone seemed to be an authority on some aspect of our walk, and we had mini-lectures on geology, weather, maps, trees, wild flowers and scrabble!
There was only one disaster, when a complete sole fell off a shoe; but Paul was ready with sticking plaster and string, and the repaired walker survived the day.
We sampled pubs and tea-shops, and made the most of the good cooked breakfasts, packed lunches with home-made cakes and the bar with a view in our hotel.
We had a fashion show from the Canadian family, who were over in England to attend a wedding, and we ended with a games night.
I enclose some photos of a wonderful week.

The SALSA standard was designed by food safety experts with years of experience in the industry, to set out the legal requirements of producers and "best practise" for professional food buyers.
SALSA approval is only granted to those who can demonstrate to a SALSA auditor that they are able to produce safe and legal food and are committed to continually meet the requirements of the SALSA standard. It is a widely trusted food certification schemes in the UK.
Professional food buyers from large retail chains have a lot of market power in the food production industries, SALSA certification provides a trusted "way in to" large retail markets for smaller companies. It is trusted by most retailers, food service providers, suppliers, and buyers alike for smaller companies. Large company buyers almost always ask prospective suppliers to get certified through SALSA as the first part of the buying process.
* SALSA certification is audit driven, with size of the enterprise being taken into consideration.
* Success adds significant value to a small business.
* SALSA certification is only granted to smaller producers who can demonstrate that they are able to produce safe food and drink.
* SALSA certification ensures that producers must remain committed to continually updating their standards, in line with changing consumer demands and legislation.
ML3 Technical help businesses get into shape for the extra growth the SALSA certification can bring and can provide both visits to site and support over the internet. Whilst ML3 Technical specialises in working with vegetable pack houses and processors, we also have experience in sauce and chutney makers, ice-cream makers, bakeries, and other product areas.

But probably the single most important factor behind the rise in tuition is one that few other businesses share: Students are not just customers; they are also an integral part of the core product. When considering a school, potential students and their parents often look first at the characteristics of past classes: test scores, grade-point averages, post-college earnings, as well as ethnic and gender mixes. School admissions officers call the process through which they put together their classes the ''shaping'' of the student body. Kevin Crockett is a consultant with Ruffalo Noel Levitz, a firm that helps colleges and universities set prices. He says that the higher the prices that schools charge, the more options they have in recruiting exactly the students they want.
"I've got to have enough room under the top-line sticker price," he says. A school that charges $50,000 is able to offer a huge range of inducements to different sorts of students: some could pay $10,000, others $30,000 or $40,000. And a handful can pay the full price.What's going on here? This is a not-so-subtle form of price discrimination - where different consumers (or groups of consumers) are charged different prices for the same good or service, and where the difference in price does not arise because of a difference in cost (and which I've previously written on here and here). Typically in price discrimination, the firm charges a higher price to groups of consumers that are willing to pay more for the good or service. However, for universities it isn't that simple because the make-up of the student body is going to affect the willingness-to-pay of each student. So, universities face a difficult optimisation problem.
How does that make them like night clubs? Davidson explains:
There's a provocative analogy to be made with how another industry does its pricing. I called Paul Norman, who owns a company that promotes high-end dance clubs in London, and he agrees that his clubs have much the same challenge as colleges and universities. Their appeal to new customers is based, in large part, on the mix of customers who are already there. The biggest spenders are wealthy men from Russia and the Middle East. But they won't spend a lot of money in a club filled with people just like themselves. Women who have the right look — posh in Chelsea, a bit more flash in Mayfair — are admitted free and are offered free drinks, but only if they arrive early in the evening and happily mingle and dance. He said that clubs do their own version of enrollment shaping. "It's good for the crowds if you have a mix of ethnicities," Norman told me. On any given night, he said, about a quarter of the clubs' guests get in free. It's an odd model: giving your most valuable product away to some and charging a lot to others. But, Norman said, if everybody paid the same price, nobody would want to come, and in a few weeks clubs wouldn't be able to charge anyone anything.
Similarly, if an elite school like Harvard or Princeton insisted on admitting only students willing to pay the full freight, they would soon find they weren't so elite. Many of the best teachers would rather go elsewhere than stay in a gated, rich community. The most accomplished rich kids could be lured away to other schools by the prospect of studying with the best students and teachers. So, a school with the same high sticker price for everyone would be unlikely to have the attributes — high test scores, Nobel Prize-winning faculty, a lively culture — that draw national or international attention.
So coming back to price discrimination, in order for this pricing strategy to be effective, there must be different groups with different willingness-to-pay for the good or service, the firm must be able to determine which consumers belong to which group, and there must be no transfers between the sub-markets. The first condition is met (students from higher income families are willing to pay more for elite education), and the third as well (you can't on-sell your education to someone else). The second condition is met by the increasing use of data on prospective students:
The pricing of college and university tuition used to be based on gut feelings, Crockett told me. Until around 1992, administrators would glance at what their peers were charging and come up with a number. Today, the process involves a level of mathematical and statistical rigor that few other industries could match. Crockett uses a team of statisticians and data analysts, the latest in software and data with hundreds of variables on students' ability and willingness to pay, academic accomplishments, most likely choices of majors, ethnicity and gender, and other attributes. To the public, one number is released: the cost of tuition. But internally the school likely has dozens of price points, each set for a different group of potential students. The tools can determine how valuable a potential student is to the school's overall reputation: more points for sports and scholarly accomplishment, fewer for the telltale signs of a likely dropout.So, universities in the U.S. use your data to determine fairly closely how much you are willing to pay and can price accordingly. In other words, they are dynamic pricing like many other firms, but recognising that they want to encourage some particular students to join their student body and will offer them lower prices even if the student would be willing to pay more. Because every student pays a different (personal) price, we refer to this as personalised pricing (or first-degree price discrimination).
In case you're wondering, New Zealand universities can't follow suit, at least not completely. Apparently we aren't allowed to attract students with discounted fees, although we can offer scholarships or even discounted transport. However, this isn't exactly the same as providing partial fee concessions, since it is more difficult to target scholarships to those with lower willingness-to-pay.

Yeshiva Directions
Here's a summary of an interesting doctoral dissertation completed recently at Loyola:
How have changing conditions, in America generally and in the American Jewish community, affected what kind of Jewish schools are both possible and desirable? Focusing on an Orthodox all-boys elementary school, this study employs a synthesis of modern secular scholarship and traditional Jewish scholarship to explore this question. Historical research is used to describe the past century of Orthodox Jewish education in America, detailing the development and diversification of the day school. The social changes that have occurred over the past century are detailed, with special consideration as to how those changes might effect the educational methods that are possible and desirable. A synthesis of the traditional philosophy, current situation, and secular methods, produces a picture of an ideal Jewish school. Based on this ideal picture, specific recommendations are made to improve current educational practice within Jewish schooling.Barney Berlin, The Strictly Orthodox Jewish Day School: Directions for the Future

Will @Ethereum make a comeback?
Wall Street's Tom Lee says that Ether is about to 'rally strongly' after being beaten down the last few months (losing 70% of it's value this year — OUCH). If cryptocurrency is of interest, two friends recommended Digital Gold: it's a fascinating and wild read. The world is certainly changing. For the non-techies, to learn more about blockchain I highly recommend Blockchain Basics: A Non-Technical Introduction in 25 Steps
Why did this come up
Took a risk and majorly invested in Ethereum… like a fool
Everything I read warned me that cryptocurrency was risky and I did it anyways. Hopefully there is an upward swing a-coming. Suggestion: there are a lot of better ways to invest your money more smartly.

In this instalment to our human interest series, we speak to the new business development executive to the North American clinical sales team of PCI Clinical Services, Jamie Weishaar.
Jamie Weishaar
1. Could you briefly describe yourself?
Born and raised in the Midwest (Topeka, Kansas, USA) — I left after college and have lived a semi-nomadic life between the Midwest, Pacific Northwest and California. I've been in the Portland, or metropolitan area for the past eight years, which is the longest I've lived in one place as an adult. I really enjoy the Pacific Northwest, being in the outdoors with my family and being able to travel often.
2. Please describe your average day in five words.
No two days are alike
3. At what point did you decide to be involved in the pharma market?
I was a water quality research chemist in Colorado and moved back to Kansas after my daughter was born to be closer to family. Jobs in water quality were scarce and there was an opportunity to leave the lab and move into contract pharma on the business side, so I took a chance.
4. What has been your biggest achievement?
The relationships I've been able to develop throughout my life (both personally and professionally). I wouldn't be who I am or where I am if it wasn't for the kindness and support of others.
5. What would you say is your worst trait?
Toss-up between my sweet-tooth and my eye-sight, although I think many people know me for my red glasses more than anything.
6. What do you love about your job?
Getting to travel and stay connected with all of the amazingly talented people that are in our industry — I like the idea that I can help (even in a small way) assist scientists bring new medicines to people and help improve their lives.
7. If anything, what would you change about your job?
Not much, if anything it would probably revolve around some of the joys of travel…
8. If you weren't in the pharma industry what job would you like to do?
I do miss having hikes into the mountains to collect water samples as part of my job description, although my original grad school dream was to be a small-college university professor. That still has some romantic appeal at times.
9. What challenges do you foresee being important over the next 10 years?
How do we reward innovators while making their inventions available to the people who need them most (risk/reward vs cost).
10. In your opinion, what will offer the biggest opportunities in the future?
I think personalised medicine is really interesting and has a lot of opportunities as we continue to learn more about how our bodies function as a whole. The supply chain and cost challenges around personalised technologies are fascinating problems I'm convinced someone will solve.

KEENE, N.H. – Seven times in the last 20 years in the Little East Conference men's basketball playoffs, a team has been in position for a three-peat. Each time it has failed.
Saturday, second-seeded Eastern Connecticut State University carried an eight-point lead into the final four minutes in a quest to become the first three-time champion since 1995, but was outscored 14-3 the rest of the way as top-seeded Keene State College won its third championship in five years, 72-69, Saturday evening at Spaulding Gymnasium in the third straight championship meeting between the teams.
Keene (20-7) had earned the top seed and forged a tie atop the standings with Eastern (20-7) with an 81-76 win over the Warriors a week ago. Saturday, the Owls came from eight points back in the final four minutes to defeat Eastern after losses in the title game each of the past two years at Geissler Gymnasium.
The NCAA will announce its 64-team field Monday at 12:30 p.m. Forty-three of the invitees qualify automatically as conference champions.
Trailing, 66-58 Saturday, Keene rattled off 11 straight points, moving ahead for good, 68-66, on an inside bucket by Ty Nichols. Nichols had sparked the 11-point run with a three-point field goal that made it 66-61 with 3:47 left. In those final minutes, Eastern missed two three-point field goals, two inside attempts and two free throws and turned the ball over twice.
Down by four, Eastern made it a one-point game, 70-69, on a three-point field goal by sophomore guard Cory Muckle (Westbrook) but Edwin Ezedonmwen sank two decisive free throws with seven seconds left, and the Warriors couldn't connect on a possible game-tying three-point field goal in the final seconds.
Eastern led after the opening minutes of the game and by seven with four minutes left in the first half before settling for a 30-29 halftime edge. The Warriors pushed the lead to nine four minutes into the second half and were up by ten with ten minutes left. The Owls surged in front, 68-66, on Nichols' inside hoop with 1:20 left – their first lead since opening the game with the first five points -- and never trailed again.
Nichols led all players with 37 points with a team-high eight rebounds. He was the only Keene player in double figures.
Muckle led Eastern with a career-high 30 points on 8-of-16 field goal shooting (6-of-11 from distance) and 8-of-8 free throws. Junior guard Carlos Gonzalez (Springfield, MA) had 16 points (8-of-8 free throws), seven rebounds and seven assists before picking up his fifth foul with Eastern leading 66-61 with three minutes left. Freshman forward Seth Thomas (Norwich) added 11 points and a career-high 12 rebounds.
The Warriors were 22-of-26 from the stripe but just 33.9 from the floor. Keene shot 48.1 percent from the floor and conerted 15 of 21 free throws.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Tom Donahoe was fired as Buffalo Bills president and general manager Wednesday in a shakeup that could mark Hall of Fame coach Marv Levy's return to the franchise in a management role.
The move was announced by Bills owner Ralph Wilson a few days after he promised changes for an underachieving team that finished
5-11 and missed the playoffs for a sixth straight season.
The owner said he will take back the role of team president and will be more active than he has been in the last five years. He said assistant general manager Tom Modrak will retain his duties, but is not a candidate for the GM's job.
The team called a press conference to announce the new general manager Thursday afternoon. ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported the 80-year-old Levy would return to oversee the football operation, and Wilson said Wednesday that Levy could play a role in the restructured front office.
"We're going to make that decision in the next few days," the owner said. "Marv is a very qualified individual and I don't know whether that will take place or not."
Donahoe, the only executive to hold the president's title in the
franchise's 46-year history, was dismissed after five seasons.
Despite increasing the team's ticket base, Donahoe's ultimate
failure was the team's inability to win.
The Bills went 31-49 during Donahoe's tenure; the 31 wins tied with Cleveland for the third fewest in the NFL during that span.
Besides Houston, which joined the league in 2002, the Bills are the
only AFC team since 2001 that has failed to make the playoffs.
Buffalo hasn't made the playoffs since 1999.
Levy is the team's winningest coach with a 112-70 record and led the Bills to four consecutive AFC titles in the early 1990s before retiring after the 1997 season.
Levy's possible involvement is considered a mild surprise, but
reflects Wilson's desire to bring in a trusted confidante and
longtime friend to an organization that, at times, alienated fans
and even the team's owner under Donahoe.
Head coach Mike Mularkey retained his job after meeting with Wilson for the second time in two days -- and shortly after the owner announced
Donahoe's dismissal.
Wilson said Mularkey's status will not be affected by whomever he hires as a general manager, and he doesn't consider next season
as a definitive year for his coach. Mularkey is 14-18 after two
seasons in Buffalo and has three years left on his contract.
Mularkey said he's not impacted by the uncertainty of the team's
search for a general manager and added that he would welcome Levy.
The Bills fired Tom Clements, the team's offensive coordinator the past two seasons, ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli reported. Clements. 52, had previously worked on staffs in New Orleans, Kansas City and Pittsburgh.
Donahoe was knocked for his management decisions, particularly the hiring of coach Gregg Williams, who was dismissed following the 2003 season after going 17-31 in three years.
The Bills produced in their first season under Mularkey, rallying from a 1-5 start to finish 9-7, but missed a shot at a
playoff berth with a season-ending collapse despite playing against
Pittsburgh's reserves.
The Bills struggled this season, undone by injuries and a
sputtering offense under first-year starter J.P. Losman, who was
eventually benched in favor of journeyman Kelly Holcomb.
With his coaching hires, Donahoe was faulted for passing over several other worthy candidates, including Carolina's John Fox, Cincinnati's Marvin Lewis, Chicago's Lovie Smith and New England
coordinators Charlie Weis, now the coach at Notre Dame, and Romeo Crennel, now with Cleveland.
Donahoe was also faulted for failing to address his offensive
line this season despite awarding the starting job to the untested
Losman. Losman went 1-7 as a starter and was eventually benched.
The Bills offense struggled overall and their 4,122 yards were the
fewest produced by Buffalo in a 16-game season.
Donahoe took over in Buffalo after Wilson fired John Butler.
Donahoe broke into the NFL as a scout with Pittsburgh in 1985
and eventually worked his way up to become the Steelers director of
football operations. He was dismissed following the 1999 season
after losing a power struggle to coach Bill Cowher.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The European Biopharmaceutical Enterprises (EBE) and European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA) have issued a statement calling on the European Commission (EC) to improve transparency on hospital exemptions for advanced therapies.
Call to action
In general, advanced therapies are required to have a centralised EU marketing authorisation unless they fall under hospital exemption — when under special circumstances EU member states may issue national authorisations. As it is left to each separate member state to refine the exemption requirements within their own legal frameworks there has been a divergence as to how exemptions have been interpreted and implemented across Europe.
These variances have created parallel paths to market access for certain advanced therapies, which has resulted in uncertainty and barriers to patient access as well as a lack of transparency on what advanced therapies are available. This, in turn, has led to a reduced incentive for companies to develop advanced therapies in the EU.
In their joint position, the EBE and EFPIA have outlined two action points for the EC to improve patient safety and access to advanced therapies:
1. Developing a 'best practice guide' on the national implementation of hospital exemptions for ATMPs.
2. With the support of national competent authorities, develop a register of all ATMPs made available under HE.
"Nearly 10 years after the publication of the legal framework for advanced therapies that has provided much needed regulatory certainty the time has come to consider effective tweaks to those areas in which transparency has reduced and led to barriers to patient access and safety," said Barbara Freischem, executive director of EBE. "We look forward to working with the Commission and member states to improve transparency on advanced therapies, including hospital exempted products."
