As of this writing, no, it is not. Maybe spring of 2009. At least that's the word on the street. Protons were successfully circulated just recently, but there is a problem with a couple of the bending magnets which are used to accelerate and guide the beam around the curves in the Plumbing. A shutdown was scheduled for the winter anyway, and now they'll add the problem of "fixing" the magnets to their "to-do list" of over-winter activities. You'll find a link to the Wikipedia post on the LHC below.
