Good morning, here are five things to know today:

Business owners in Haine's Square came together to create the first annual Haines Square Festival. The festival was an opportunity to showcase the community and promote local business. Mayor Michael McGlynn kicked off the ceremony at noon on Saturday along with City Councilor Robert Maiacco and State Representative Paul Donato.

Attorney General Martha Coakley will appear before the Medford School Committee Monday night, Superintendent Roy Belson said Friday. Coakley, a Medford resident, will give a presentation on a new program, "When You Turn 18," which aims to provide high schoolers with guidance on the transition to adulthood that they may not learn in the classroom.

Mostly Sunny: Highs will top out in the upper-60s today, with mostly sunny skies, according to the National Weather Service. There's a 20 percent chance of rain tomorrow.

The mustangs play BC High at 7 p.m. at Edgerly Field, behind the high school.

As a professor at Harvard University, Niall Ferguson says he's getting a first-hand look at the demise of Western global dominance. The surnames at the top of the mid-term grade sheets are commonly those of the far east; names like "Wong" and "Li," Ferguson said in a lecture at Tufts University Thursday. “I know who the hardest working students here are," Ferguson said to an audience at Distler Performing Hall. "This is an amazing time of change we’re living through, and we're privileged at the great universities of the United States to have a ringside seat to the end of western predominance. I see it every week, I see it in the mid-terms."
