Title: Prevent reassignment of window.$

Assign $ to jQuery rather than jQuery.noConflict(). noConflict has side-effect of reassigning window.$, extending its affect outside the scope of this anonymous function. The purpose of this pattern appears only to be to use $ in place of jQuery inside the function scope.
