Very odd. The problem with the webcam seems related to the USB powered hub I was using for the webcam. The webcam was the only thing connected to the hub. I have been using it for years, and why it decided to act up is unknown. I disconnected the webcam from the powered hub and now going straight to the Rasberry Pi. We'll see if it keeps working, but so far the webcam is back online.

Webcam Issues
I just noticed earlier today that my webcam image has not been updating since January 27. Nothing has been touched, everything has been running fine. So when I went to look at the Raspberry-Pi UI, the monitor will not read the signal from the Pi. So I set up another PC to attach remotely. Restarting the webcam software did not help. Then I just took a photo with the webcam, and it seems to be working, so luckily it is not the webcam itself. So I looked at the syslog for the Pi and I am getting a bunch of USB related messages that look like errors - disconnecting/reconnecting, etc. It's late, I'll have to look at it tomorrow.
