Answer 2

This should do the trick

$(document).ready(function() {
    var fade = setTimeout(function(){
        $("div.left-col-wrap-outer").fadeOut("slow", function () {
                $("div.left-col-wrap-outer").remove();
        });
    }, 9000);
    $("div.left-col-wrap-outer").mouseout(function() {
        fade = setTimeout(function(){
            $("div.left-col-wrap-outer").fadeOut("slow", function () {
                    $("div.left-col-wrap-outer").remove();
            });
        }, 9000);
    });

    $("div.left-col-wrap-outer").mouseover(function() {
        clearTimeout(fade);
    });
});
