How to call up a post from a category (query_posts Categories)

    I have a page template that calls up some code to go in an area of the page. I’ve been hacking away for hours and i’m stuck like a pig in mud ?? I’d like to display posts from a particular category and cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it. Any help? ??

    The code below allows me to displays posts fine but i’d like to modify the query to get posts from a category, (i.e., news, updates, food, cats, etc) as currently it’s getting any new post. 

    <h2>News</h2>
  	<?php query_posts(array('posts_per_page'=>1)); if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
  		<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
  			<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
  			<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/inc/meta.php' ); ?>
  			<div class="entry">
  				<?php the_content(); ?>
  			</div>
  			<a class=readmore href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">> Read more</a>
  		</div>
  	<?php endwhile; ?>
  	<?php else : ?>
  		<h2>Not Found</h2>
  	<?php endif; ?>
  </div>

    Thanks but i couldn’t get it working. I put in this code

    query_posts( array ( 'category_name' => 'category-slug', 'posts_per_page' => -1 ) );

    And it was pulling up all the posts in the category and displaying them in funny places on the page. I thought this code would only display one post from the page?

    Ok, i got so far to display the number of posts ok but it’s still not displaying posts from the VIDEO category. Can anyone spot anything wrong?

    <?php query_posts(array ( 'video' => 'category-slug', 'posts_per_page' => 1 ) ); if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
  		<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
  			<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
  			<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/inc/meta.php' ); ?>
  			<div class="entry">
  				<?php the_content(); ?>
  			</div>
  			<a class=readmore href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">> Read more</a>
