Referencing the current slide when using jQuery Cycle

Referencing the current slide when using jQuery Cycle

Hello. I'm currently using the jQuery Cycle plugin to control a slideshow and am using the 'pause' option and the 'paused' and 'resumed' callbacks.
 
Within the callbacks, how can I reference the currently active slide?
 
I want to fadeIn a child element within the active slide and, when 'resumed' to triggered, fadeOut.
 
 $j('.slideshow ul.slides').cycle({
   fx: 'fade',
   speed: 1000,
   timeout: 5000,
   pause: true,
   paused: function(cont, opts, byHover) {
      $j(?????????).fadeIn(600);
   },
   resumed: function(cont, opts, byHover) {
      $j(?????????).fadeOut(400);
   },
   pager: '.slideshow ul.pages',
   pagerAnchorBuilder: pagerFactory
});
