Row sums give A094373.
From Peter Bala, Sep 08 2011: (Start)
This augmented Pascal array, call it P, has interesting connections with the Bernoulli polynomials B(n,x). The infinitesimal generator S of P is the array such that exp(S) = P. The array S is obtained by augmenting the infinitesimal generator A132440 of the Pascal triangle with an initial column [0, 0, 1/2, 1/6, 0, -1/30, ...] on the left. The entries in this column, after the first two zeros, are the Bernoulli values B(n,1), n>=1.
The array P is also connected with the problem of summing powers of consecutive integers. In the array P^n, the entry in position p+1 of the first column is equal to sum {k = 1..n} k^p - see the Example section below.
For similar results for the square of Pascal's triangle see A062715.
Note: If we augment Pascal's triangle with the column [1, 1, x, x^2, x^3, ...] on the left, the resulting lower unit triangular array has the Bernoulli polynomials B(n,x) in the first column of its infinitesimal generator. The present case is when x = 1.

FORMULA
EXAMPLE
First few rows of the triangle:
1;
1, 1;
1, 1, 1;
1, 1, 2, 1;
1, 1, 3, 3, 1;
1, 1, 4, 6, 4, 1;
...
The infinitesimal generator for P begins:
/0
|0.......0
|1/2.....1...0
|1/6.....0...2....0
|0.......0...0....3....0
|-1/30...0...0....0....4....0
|0.......0...0....0....0....5....0
|1/42....0...0....0....0....0....6....0
|...
\
The array P^n begins:
/1
|1+1+...+1........1
|1+2+...+n........n.........1
|1+2^2+...+n^2....n^2.....2*n........1
|1+2^3+...+n^3....n^3.....3*n^2....3*n.......1
|...
\
More generally, the array P^t, defined as exp(t*S) for complex t, begins:
/1
|B(1,1+t)-B(1,1)..........1
|1/2*(B(2,1+t)-B(2,1))....t.........1
|1/3*(B(3,1+t)-B(3,1))....t^2.....2*t........1
|1/4*(B(4,1+t)-B(4,1))....t^3.....3*t^2....3*t.......1
