Puerto Rico's newly sworn-in Gov. Alejandro Garcia Padilla waves to supporters at the end of his inaugural ceremony at the Capitol building in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Wednesday, Jan. 2, 2013. Garcia is a 41-year-old attorney and former local senator who narrowly defeated pro-statehood Gov. Luis Fortuno. Garcia said one of his priorities is to create jobs on an island where unemployment hovers above 13 percent, higher than in any U.S. state. Garcia is accompanied by his wife, Vilma Pastrana, and their children; Diego Alejandro, 5, from left, Juan Pablo, 8, and Ana Patricia, 10. (AP Photo/Ricardo Arduengo)
