How to stop the sliding in latest news(Blog)on homepage in PHP

On the homepage there is a latest news section that slides through all of the blogs automatically. I am copying the Latest News PHP file code below and my client wants to turn the automatic sliding effect off. Can someone tell me what I am supposed to edit in order to turn the sliding effect off but still have the arrows to click on to get to the next set of blogs.

[ Moderator note: code fixed. Please wrap code in the backtick character or use the code button. ]
