  We show that the messenger-matter couplings of Flavored Gauge Mediation
Models can generate substantial stop mixing, leading to Higgs masses around 126
GeV with colored superpartners below 2 TeV and even a TeV. These results are
largely independent of the messenger scale. We study the spectra of a few
examples with a single messenger pair coupling dominantly to the top, for
different messenger scales. 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. We also present the leading
1-loop and 2-loop contributions to the soft terms for general coupling matrices
in generation space.
