Middle Align navigation using <UL><LI>

Hi

I have a simple vertical navigation system using CSS with list <li> elements. I want to be able to vertical align the entries in the middle of the block that has been created. I tried a vertical-align: middle; with no success. The code is listed in the snippet and can be seen at
