Title: Fix occasional bug returning jQuery

I ran across a bug where, about one time in ten, `$.noConflict()` would get called before the jQuery shim could return `$`, resulting in any modular code depending on jQuery having an undefined `$`.

You could also simply return `jQuery.noConflict()` and remove that line from the Backbone shim, but I'll leave that up to you.
