    At 23:10:56 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 141130 ***A*** (trigger=620090).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 222.814, +47.300 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 14h 51m 15s
       Dec(J2000) = +47d 17' 60"
    with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including 
    systematic uncertainty).  The BAT light curve showed a [**double-peaked**]
    structure with a duration of about TTT sec.  The peak count rate
    was ~1750 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~0 sec after the trigger.
