   i use this code to display latest from a specific cat
   

   <ul>
   		<?php $recent = new WP_Query("cat=34&showposts=5"); while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();?>
   		<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><img src="<?php echo bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/lib/scripts/thumb.php?src=/<?php
   		$values = get_post_custom_values("thesis_thumb");if (empty($values)) {echo '/wp-content/themes/thesis_18/custom/noimg.png';}; echo $values[0]; ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" class="footer-thumb" width="35" height="35" /></a>
   		<div class="recent-post-content-featured">
   		<p><a title="Post: <?php the_title(); ?>" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
   		</div>
   		</li>
   		<?php endwhile; ?>
   		</ul>

   try to replace this line:
   <?php $recent = new WP_Query("cat=34&showposts=5");
   with:
   

   <?php $featured_id = get_cat_ID('featured');
   $recent = new WP_Query( array('category__and => array(34, $featured_id), posts_per_page' => 5) );
