\section{Simulated Sources} Sources and Selection}  We have restricted our simulation to the first year of the advanced detector era, using the 2015 dataset from \cite{Singer_2014}. For this dataset, Gaussian noise was generated using the `early' 2015 LIGO noise curve found in\cite{Barsotti:2012}. Approximately 50,000 BNS sources were simulated, with component masses uniformly distributed between 1.2 and 1.6 $M_\odot$. Spins were isotropically oriented, with magnitudes $\chi = c |\mathbf{S}|/G m^2$, where $|\mathbf{S}|$ is the neutron star's spin angular momentum and $m$ its mass, were drawn uniformly between 0 and 0.05. The range of simulated spin magnitudes was chosen to be consistent with the observed population of BNS systems, currently bounded by PSR J0737-3039A \cite{Burgay_2003,Brown_2012}.  For this study, we have restricted our simulation to correspond to the first year of the advanced detector era, during which only the two LIGO instruments are expected to be online. Gaussian noise is generated using the `early' 2015 LIGO noise curve outlined in\cite{Barsotti:2012}.  \begin{enumerate}  \item Describe injection distribution.  \item Give sketch of selection process
