Thanks everyone -- placement = [H] was exactly what I needed. I went back
and saw it in the manual paragraph as [h!]. Also, the mailing list
discussion was perfect as well.

One suggestion, then... why not just have a nice list of all possible
ATTR_LaTeX options? I have killed myself before looking for a simplified
list. Maybe even just common ones since perhaps any LaTeX option may be
passed?

I love this page, for example: http://orgmode.org/manual/Export-options.html

It is the holy grail of a simple reference when I need an answer quickly.
Why not the same for possible LaTeX attributes for figures and tables? That
would be awesome.

Thanks again, all.
