In fact if (like in your example) you *don't* need \caption and
\listoffigures, the best way to get your piscture to stay in place is to not
use the figure environment at all.

Just

\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=144pt]{FileName}
\end{center}

If you need captions, you should use the ccaption package, which privides a
way to obtain a caption outside of the figure environment.

\usepackage{ccaption}
\newfixedcaption{\figcaption}{figure}%%% \figcaption or anything else

...

\begin{document}
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=144pt]{FileName}
\figcaption{blah, blah, blah}
\end{center}
