Is this possible? (Listing latest news headlines)

Hi all.

I’m looking to make a news site and have run into a problem. I want there to be a box listing the 10 latest headlines from a specific category to be shown on all pages.

Now, I have the actual box and it works on the front page and on the category page in question. But I want it to appear on -all- pages (forming a static structure around the content area) but I am not sure how to do this.

The theme is developed by somebody I know but he doesn’t know how to make this work. Does anybody have any ideas?
