In order to accomodate a 126 GeV Higgs mass, GMSB models typically require
heavy spectra, far above the LHC reach.
In this talk I'll decsribe Flavored Gauge Mediation Models, and show that these
can generate
substantial stop mixing, leading to Higgs masses of around 126 GeV with colored
superpartners below 2 TeV and even a TeV.
Flavor constraints in these models are obeyed by virtue of supersymmetric
alignment: the same flavor symmetry that explains fermion masses dictates the
structure of the matter-messenger couplings, and this structure is inherited by the soft terms.
