Characterizations of semiperfect rings

The following are equivalent: 0) $R$ is semiperfect; 1) all finitely generated right $R$ modules have projective covers; 2) all simple right $R$ modules have projective covers; 3) $R$ has a complete orthogonal set of idempotents whose corner rings are all local rings.
