In this Jan. 21, 2013 photo, a Carnival mask in the likeness of Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Joaquim Barbosa is displayed on a mannequin at the Condal factory in Sao Goncalo, near Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Condal is Brazil's oldest and most productive mask factory that is run by Olga Valles, a family business started in 1958. Barbosa, born into poverty, became the first black judge in the nation's top court when he took office in 2003. Barbosa went on to make a name for himself when he presided over a wide-ranging political corruption trial involving a cash-for-votes scheme. Now, average Brazilians are honoring him during Carnival by buying his mask in droves, said Valles. Brazil's annual five-day extravaganza begins Friday. (AP Photo/Felipe Dana)

In this photo taken Dec. 21, 2012, former soldier Bobo sits on an armchair after collecting recyclables at a slum in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Bobo spends his day sorting through trash for recyclables to sell. At night, he turns the day's profit into crack. With a boom in crack use over the past decade, Brazilian authorities are struggling to help such users and stop the drug's spread, sparking a debate over the legality and efficiency of forcibly interning users.
