[R] anyone using LARS package in R

[Clemontina Alexander]

I have used lars before. I could not find a tutorial, so finally asked
a professor at my school. He has a wrapper that nicely prints out all
the variables that were selected and is more stable in cross
validation than the original package. See below for the code and
description.
