Yep... that is how they balance the rotor. Dont take it out!!! Good 
quality rotors wont have any, but some might. ATE is a good rotor. If 
they have more than one, there is a problem with the casting, and dont 
use them..

BTW, good luck getting them out anyway, they're impossible! When we 
rebalance the rotors, we take them out first...if possible!
