COMMENTS
This is equal to the number of set partitions of {1, ..., n} that avoid 7-crossings.
The first 14 terms coincide with terms of A000110. Without avoidance of 7-crossings, the two sequences would be identical. [Alexander R. Povolotsky, Sep 19 2011]

EXAMPLE
There are 190899322 partitions of 14 elements, but a(14)=190899321 because the partition {1,14}{2,13}{3,12}{4,11}{5,10}{6,9}{7,8} has a 7-nesting.
