Huge short volume on this one:

Not necessarily true. Did you know that when you sell a stock, any stock, it is considered a short sale? This is because a short sale at the market maker level can not be distinguished differently than a normal sell. When you enter an order to either sell or short sell a stock, your broker sends the order to the M&M as a normal sell. At that moment, you and your broker are the only two that know whether or not that sell was a normal sell or a short. The broker reports the type of sale to the clearing house. It takes roughly three days for that sell to clear. It is at that point that the order is deciphered either a sell or a short.

The list you posted is a list of total sells for the day even though they are listed as short sales. To get an up-to-date list of shorts, you must either go to nasdaq site or shortsqueeze.com. The lists are updated every two weeks. Nasdaq.com says there is no short interest currently in this stock.
