In this talk I will discuss recent work (arXiv:1209.4904) on Flavored
Gauge Mediation (FGM) models.
The messenger-matter couplings of FGM can generate substantial stop
mixing and new contributions to the stop masses which can lead to
Higgs masses of around 126 GeV with collider accessible superpartners.
In addition, these new couplings induce Higgs-messenger kinetic
mixings which affect the calculation of soft-terms by analytic
continuation which now requires careful matching at the messenger
scale. Flavor constraints in FGM are obeyed by supersymmetric
alignment. I will discuss how this differs from alignment models and
how it could be used.
