Morning Business Memo…

Google's stock market value is now more than $300 billion. In recent months its shares have been soaring and closed above $900 for the first time, gaining more than 3 percent Wednesday. In the eyes of many investors, Google is making all the right moves - similar to how Apple was viewed this time last year when its shares were surging. Now things are very different. Apple shares tumbled 38 percent since reaching a peak last September, and dropped 3.4 percent in yesterday's trading.

Google wowed the web, announcing a brand new streaming music service called All Access that blends songs users have already uploaded to their online libraries with millions of other tracks. The service charges a $10 fee and puts Google in competition with Pandora, Spotify and Rhapsody. Apple has yet to break into this part of the digital music market. Google also announced upgrades to its widely used maps and games services. READ OUR FULL COVERAGE OF GOOGLE'S BIG

For the first time, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has conducted crash tests on small SUVs to measure front-corner impact, which accounts for about 24 percent of injuries and deaths from frontal crashes. But only two of the 13 vehicles tested received passing grades.

"The best-performing vehicles were the Subaru Forester and the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport," Russ Rader with the IIHS tells ABC News Radio.

The Forester was the first vehicle to ace every aspect of the new crash test, earning it a rating of "good." The Outlander Sport scored the next best rating, "acceptable." Both SUVs were named "Top Safety Pick+," the institute's recently inaugurated top honor.

The remaining 11 SUVs received "marginal" or "poor" ratings, with the lowest-rated being the Ford Escape.

"It had poor structural performance. There was a lot of intrusion into the occupant compartment," Rader said of the Escape.

Joining the Escape in the "poor" category:

Commuters in a West Philadelphia train station leaped into action today after a woman's baby stroller containing her 14-month-old daughter fell onto the train tracks and the mother climbed down to rescue the child.

The incident, captured on surveillance video, occurred at 12:46 p.m. at the 56 th Street station on the Market-Frankford line of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) transit system.

Video from the station's surveillance camera showed the woman standing in front of the stroller on the eastbound platform at the elevated station. It was not clear from the video what the woman was doing, but the stroller slowly started to roll away from her, and it kept going until it fell over the edge of the platform and landed on the tracks about four feet below.

The woman climbed down onto the tracks, and the video showed several other passengers rushing to her aid.

The woman could be seen hoisting the baby up into the air and one of the waiting passengers taking the

ABC News’ Alisa Wiersema reports:

This week's Republican House meeting was a little more exciting than weeks past, and it wasn't just because of what was on the agenda.

At the request of the GOP, Google representatives held Google Glass demonstrations at the beginning and the end of the meeting, allowing Congressional members to try on the sought-after technology. A Google spokesperson told ABC News that the company offered the same demonstration sessions to Democrats, but have yet to schedule any official group presentations.

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) was among those who tried on a pair of the new glasses. In an email, a representative for Bachmann told ABC News that the congresswoman enjoyed trying on Google Glass because she "likes being ahead of the curve when it comes to innovative technology" and believes "it is a testament to just how much the industry has evolved."

Bachmann's first query when trying on the glasses? The Drudge Report.

Nicki Minaj could be the next judge to exit "American Idol," following Randy Jackson's announcement that he's leaving the show after 12 seasons.

Us Weekly quotes an inside source saying, "It's safe to say she isn't coming back to 'Idol.' She's okay with it. She had a great time but was only going to do one season anyway."

Fox declined to comment on the report. A rep for Minaj did not immediately respond to ABCNews.com's request for comment.

The 30-year-old rapper has been in an ongoing feud with fellow first-time judge Mariah Carey since the season started.

"I think the producers thought that the feud would bring in ratings at first, but then it got away from them," M.J. Santilli, who writes MJs Big Blog about the show, told ABCNews.com.

In recent days, rumors have circulated that the show will be restructured next season with an entirely new panel of judges and a new producer.

Neither Carey nor Urban have commented on

Last month he revealed that he'd lost 60 pounds, and now, Chaz Bono is down another five.

"I'm feeling really good," he told People magazine Tuesday, adding that because he's been steadily losing for so long, it's becoming tougher to move the numbers on the scale. "I'd love to do 'Dancing [with the Stars]' all over again. I'd do it so much better now than I did then!"

Bono's weight loss journey began last November, when he announced that he wanted to trim 50 pounds from his then 250-pound frame. Three months (and 43 pounds) later, he upped the goal to 80 pounds. To do this, Bono, 44, said that he'd been avoiding starches and sticking to a diet of mostly meats and vegetables.

"I really feel very satisfied and comfortable with the way I eat now, which is amazing, and for me, kind of a miracle," he said, adding that he no longer has cravings for unhealthy foods. "I never thought I'd be that kind of a person!"

As a result, the LGBT activist says that his blood pressure

Prince Harry wrapped up his time in the United States Wednesday with a visit to the Greenwich Polo Club in Connecticut, where he played in a charity polo match benefiting Sentabale, an organization that helps children and young adults in Lesotho, Africa.

Afterward, the prince, 28, attended a luncheon in his honor, where he reflected on his week in America.

"Thank you for a wonderful week," he said of his trip, which included stops in Colorado, New York, New Jersey and Washington, D.C. "I have witnessed the extraordinary generosity of the people of this great nation."

Prince Harry encouraged guests to visit Lesotho and to support the group's Mamohato Camps - a program that supports children living with HIV.

"We do believe that the Mamohato Camps are a real game-changer," he said. "Not least because of the extraordinary resilience and courage of children everywhere, whether in Harlem, Lesotho or within military families."
