Can't Post

I'm not sure how to go about this, so I'd appreciate a little assistance if possible 
Here's the new template I'm working with:
http://www.dime-co.com/sneakpeek.html
If you look at the MAIN box (where you see the golden mouse) you see:
Newly Enhanced Dime-co.com Example of Featured Post
Now - If you click over to the second one (example of featured post), you'll see the content switches.
There's two things I'd like to do, and *preferably* not manually LOL!
1) On each category page, I'd like to simply switch between say 4-5 chosen/featured articles - *all* from the same category. (say, the 5 newest ones, or the 5 that I choose). This is kind of like the featured content slider, but not the same.
Don't worry about how to set the tabs, I know how to do that.
What I basically need to know, is how the heck do I tell the system article 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 to appear very specifically there?
#2: to do kind of the same thing for the front page of the site, but only one post in the categories I choose to show for it (i.e., most popular topics like Business-1 article, Entertainment-1 article, Home/Family-1 article, etc).
Ideas?
I could hard code but that will mean I'm updating daily... and that's a pain.
I'm okay with doing that if I have to on the front page, but would totally love to have it automated at the very least for the category pages. (I am creating a unique categoryindex page for each category).
