Is the BP oil well still leaking?

I feel really stupid asking but, I heard somewhere that it had stopped. I liked to know if it is or not and some more information on the spill? I live in Canada so it’s not always front page news and I haven’t gotten around watching CNN.
I thought that this would be such a simple question.

BP fudging the numbers: Why are YOU surprised?

In the days after the spill started, BP put that estimate at 5000 Barrels a day(which was conservative at best)

Now the nation is upset that the spill wasn’t fixed virtually the first day, and that it’s taken so long to do surgery on the well at 5000 feet under the Ocean, and at depths that would crush the hull of a Sub.

BUT, with the average American being, shall we put it, somehwat morally and ethically ‘challenged’, why is anyone surprised that a corporation act’s unethically, when we ourselves are a train wreck. Some examples…

Roughly 85% of all people lie on their resumes, such as schools they have never attended(or graduated from), and jobs/positions they never held.

In a CNN poll, over 80% of Americans polled felt it was there right to know the private sex-lives of celebrities…I wonder if those 80% would have a problem with a live-feed cam in their bedrooms, for all the world to see?

The founder of FACEBOOK say’s that people are "Dumbo$%K’s" for trusting him for providing personal information to him, yet most people are indifferent to what amounts to a sociopath selling you and I out to the highest bidder(and that includes Login’s and passwords)

Can you have it both ways…demanding ethical/moral behavior, but willing to give or provide very little ourselves?
