How to use Spry and Jquery on the same page.

Question

I'm using both spry (dataset) and jquery (datepicker) on my page. When I load the jquery script my dataset doesn't work.
I've done some research and found that I need to insert an observer that tells jquery when the spry dataset is finished loading. Found this information at: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2899897. I've tried implementing this into my script but just doesn't seem to work. Below is the script from my site, how would I insert an observer into this script?
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var ds1 = new Spry.Data.HTMLDataSet("/test/fsasearch_results_dynamic.php", "search_results");
var ds2 = new Spry.Data.HTMLDataSet("/test/countstable_dynamic.php", "table");
$(function() { $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker({ dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd', beforeShowDay: nonWorkingDates, numberOfMonths: 2, minDate: +5, maxDate: +30});
    function nonWorkingDates(date){
        var day = date.getDay(), Sunday = 0, Monday = 1, Tuesday = 2, Wednesday = 3, Thursday = 4, Friday = 5, Saturday = 6;
        var closedDates = [[7, 29, 2009], [8, 25, 2010]];
        var closedDays = [[Saturday], [Sunday]];
        for (var i = 0; i < closedDays.length; i++) {
            if (day == closedDays[i][0]) {
                return [false];
        for (i = 0; i < closedDates.length; i++) {
            if (date.getMonth() == closedDates[i][0] - 1 &&
            date.getDate() == closedDates[i][1] &&
            date.getFullYear() == closedDates[i][2]) {
                return [false];
        return [true];
//-->
</script>
