This works if the text is only one line long. If it wraps onto two or 
more lines, the background image is going to be centered in regards to 
the entire height of the list item, which is probably not what you want. 
I recommend using a small em value, like .3em, to nudge your background 
image down and keep it roughly centered with the first line of text no 
matter how many more come after it.
