Featured Categories widget

I’m needing a plugin widget for the sidebar with the following items;

• List 5 categories I select from my list of 20 categories
• Show the titles of those 5 categories
• Show the 3 most recent posts in each category area
• Show a category icon or post thumbnail from the most recent post

http://www.runnersworld.com has a “Features” area on the right with the look I’m trying to find.

I’ve tried searching but can’t find a plugin that works or is even close (BNS Featured Category didn’t do it). Does anyone have a suggestion for a plugin they’ve used that will do this?
