Jim, way back in this thread, before you discovered the missing pad, Epic and I talked about centering the brake calipers and straightening rotors.  I just came across this video that shows a few easy methods to do both tasks:

Something to file away in your bookmarks for future reference.

FWIW, the Avid brakes on my wife's bike seem to be susceptible to getting out of center, as I have to do this frequently.  I think I'll bump up the torque setting a bit to make the calipers tighter to see if that will fix it.  Very annoying to have to do this once a month.
